Those are war time numbers. Pretty sad if you ask me...

The joke's on this administration as they're the biggest mockery of this country in its entire existent history.

"Wars and rumors of wars."

When Bush put two fleets out there, nothing happened. Who knows exactly what will come of this.

However, this "announcement" will be one of three things, in order of the most likely:

1. Iran is a nuclear power, we are the king of the south, accept it.

2. All oil from the middle east will now be officially traded in the new Arab League currency discussed months ago.

3. We have nukes.

Expect an Israeli attack immediately if #3 happens. If #1 happens, it'll come within weeks or months. If #2 happens, the western world will collapse in the Greatest Depression.

Do I know for sure? No. Do I expect one of the three and plausible ramifications? Yes.

When war happens we just might see nukes going off on the homeland.

Absolutely correct. I know we could deliver a 'punch' that would stun Iran with the touch of a button if we had a president who wasn't a Marxist. These people don't learn from concessions being given out left and right, and apparently neither will we. They give respect only when their hand is forced. It's reality, sorry hippies.

Another angry letter will probably be written from the Obama adminstration, perhaps with bold lettering for emphasis. Another round of sanctions is being talked about, which is pretty much DOA due to China and Russia sponsoring states that sponsor terrorism. That's about all.

I don't know about you, but this guy's my hero for the day.

Technically, they were part of China... as DGL said.

I don't think they should be reunited, though.

I'm a bit disappointed here. I was hoping to see that either Madonna or Angelina Jolie had made the list.

I'm sure this will force Obama to respond with a strongly worded letter, perhaps with bold lettering and italics for emphasis.

While I won't argue with those points, mine was a rather round about way of saying the Republicans have been infiltrated. Progressives and closet liberals within the Republican party have done nothing but bring about a Democrat resemblance and shifted the GOP almost center-left.

The only thing holding them together now is that the conservative hawks are keeping them in check and that the Obama administration is the most polarizing in U.S. history.

I'm a conservative hawk, a realist and not afraid to call out idiocy within my own party. Checks & balances. I look forward to the next round of "thumbs down" on the right from ideology diluting RINO cowards with no spinal cord or anything intelligible to bring to the table.

I wasn't too impressed with Brown to begin with. Here's why:

*Too many people have "Obama-cized" him without knowing his background.

*He ran as a rightist. Turned centrist on his victory speech, then said after a meeting with Obama a few days after victory he's open to compromise.

*He's almost in lockstep with Obama on abortion, Iran policy and a 2 state solution for Israel.

*He helped bring in the country's only universal health care system, in Mass. What makes you think he won't want the government solution?

*He's been around for a while, which makes him a typical politician subject to receiving principle compromising favors.

*A lot of Republicans are now closet Democrats, or "progressives" such as McCain (who previously mentioned he would do the same health care Obama has wanted) or Arnie. He is one of them.

So sorry. He is not the GOP savior as everyone hyped him up to be. People get too confused and don't realize being "conservative" isn't the same as "Republican."
