Has our feckless leader's policy "evolved" or is he just a bully who picks on those who can't fight back?

Are you suggesting that the US should start "picking fights" with countries our own size?

The situations in Libya and Iran are not the slightest bit comparable.

 

[ScienceRocks]

1. Iran would be a far bigger war and it could fight back.
2. Iran isn't bombing, killing and slaughtering its people.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Would you bomb China for taking our industry and stealing our secrets?

That is correct. Libya was bombed to depose its President because Obama didn't like him. Iran would be bombed, but not by Obama, to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon.

1. Correct.
2. They don't have to since they sponsor and fund several terrorist organizations that bomb, kill and slaughter people for them.

True, but I still wouldn't have gone into Libya. NATO was able to do just fine. They should have handled it all.

If it was my call, I wouldn't have gone into Libya either.

Why didn't Bush invade North Korea?

As much as it's pretty clear there's no love between Obama and Netanyahu, I wouldn't put it past Obama for making this deal with Iran so they will eventually attack Israel. Obama is putting on an act when it comes to Israel....maybe he made a deal with Iran? Just wondering.....

Its nothing that complicated, after a failed presidency Obama is just desperate for a win on something, anything before his term ends. His one big achievement Obamacare is about as popular as a case of shingles.

As already correctly noted: this fails as a false comparison fallacy.

 

[Socialist]

We shouldn't be bombing any country.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why didn't Bush invade Iran?

 

[initforme]

Explain why we should bomb iran.

You really think that Iran has the ability to stand up to us?

 

[my2¢]

Perhaps it is the same reason we invaded Iraq instead of Iran.
