GOP 2012 Ace in the Hole

The GOP has two aces in the hole they yet may be able to use to capture the WH in 2012. Ace One is an economic downturn in the USA quite beyond the ability of the WH to control and quite to the liking of the GOP congress.

Ace Two involves Israel. Should Israel attack Iran and a protracted struggle of war ensues, the American GOP will clamor for US involvement. The US Israel Lobby wil kick into high gear, and a tear stained Netanyahu will draw more standing ovations from our Congress. At some point our forces will engage Iran and some losses will be the unavoidable result. Romney will scream bloody murder he must be our War President while waving his six shooters and thumping a Bible. America may elect a Reagan imitator.

Nuclear Paranoia

Achmadinejad is busy ramping up the paranoia level in Iran along with the nationalism trend for obvious reasons. One of which is remaining president. In the West our paranoia and nationalism are being ramped up for reasons far more complex and sinister. I say sinister because it is only us that pose a threat of war, not them. Complex, because not only are our own war-baiters wailing to kill thousands more Muslims wholly ignoring anything learned from Iraq (while also ignoring how Iraq would take the other side in this), but our close ally far closer to Iran is salivating to behead the only power challenge they face in the M.E. And although President Obama faces huge pressure from both our war agents, he obviously knows better and refuses to be the puppet W. Bush was.
