Some 50% no longer support military action in Afghanistan. Joining the US in military action on Iran would be political suicide - we are only weeks out from an election.

Americans will still believe the White House on what ever it says. No problem here the truth is not necessary Americans have continued to believe the lies from the White House from day one even when the truth was put in their faces. The Media does the spin to cover up the crimes and Katie out right lies to you face. Bush got away with illegally invading Iraq so before he leaves he'll bomb Iran. Look even Israel used their bombs that the US gave them to test bombing Syria. Yes the White House failed a pushing Iran so Israel and US put their heads together and thought up bombing Syria in hopes that they could start WW3. Israel is in this for the land all of the Middle East land and the US aka Cheney is in it for the oil. Notice if you read the bible this wasn't God's plan so now you know why it's all falling apart.

The Prince family and their operation is one of the most disturbing trends of the Republican "base" and the "privatization" of our "defense" community. The Prince family endorsed the violent overthrow of the Clinton administration and are now on the public dole, well the public millionaire dole. Read "Blackwater" by Jeremy Scahill, scary stuff, coming to a city near you soon, in black fatigues without name tags or identification, or oversight of any kind.
