Vice-Presidential frontrunner Marco Rubio told the elitist Council on Foreign Relations during an event last week that the American people should be prepared for a war with Iran
Rubio was asked by moderator Richard Stengel, “You would sanction a strike before you would tolerate a nuclear Iran?”
“Yes and I think that we need to begin to prepare people for that,” the Florida Senator responded.
This is by no means the first time Rubio has publicly displayed his appetite to commit the United States to another unaffordable war.
During a Brookings Institution speech at the end of April, Rubio not only called for attacking Iran, but also advocated a military assault on Syria.
Speaking of Iran, Rubio stated, “We should also be preparing our allies, and the world, for the reality that unfortunately, if all else fails, preventing a nuclear Iran may, tragically, require a military solution.”
He also said that Syria should become a target for “American leadership,” in the context of ignoring UN mandates and sending in American troops to directly help rebel fighters who, as we have documented, are being directed by Al-Qaeda terrorists.

Look at the logo behind Romney of the US and Israeli flags overlapping - "shared vision" yikes!
Sorry Mitt and Rube - the American people don't share your "vision".
We need stupid crap like jobs, a stable currency and a legal system that works for all, not just the financially well-endowed.
I think the era of the Vietnam war protests may be coming back in a big way.
I hope the American public has the balls to stand up to this imperialist saber rattling.
If we don't. China and Russia surely do.
So much for choice and free elections.

What's got my grey matter rolling through my little box is a combination of current events...
War with Iran has been building up for quite a while now.
Threats of war with Syria are growing due to the on going situation there...
Then we have the very possible collapse of the Euro...
So, possibly two wars going on and Europe at a standstill...
I can only wonder as to why the Euro is being ground into the dirt at a time such as this. Is europe going to be a battle field once again? Will Russia and China come sweeping down through Europe in defence of Iran/Syria?
Is the decline of jobs and the Euro preparing the path for mass recruitment into an allied force to oppose Russia and China?
As there may possibly be no jobs and no money (what with the fear of all power being cut in Greece too) the military may suddenly have two wars to fight and posters may go up asking for you to do your part if you're not employed in some other manner..
Is someone, somewhere, in full knowledge of the fact that many millions of people may very possibly be about to die.. ??

A Forum Moderator hating on America and Israel and loving up to China and Russia with a heavy dose of sympathy for Iran and Syria, very telling, very telling indeed.
