Senators From Both Parties: Military Strike Against Iran Must Be An Option
Senators McCain and Bayh both said today that the US must not discard the possibilty of military action against Iran's nuclear program as a last resort. It's nice to know that at least two Senators recognize the danger of a nuclear-armed theocracy led by mad mullahs with Apocalyptic aspirations.
From Breitbart:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican and Democratic senators said on Sunday the United States may ultimately have to undertake a military strike to deter Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but that should be the last resort.
"That is the last option. Everything else has to be exhausted. But to say under no circumstances would we exercise a military option, that would be crazy," Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said there are sensitive elements of Iran's nuclear program, which, if attacked, "would dramatically delay its development."
The trouble will come, of course, in deciding when all other options have been exhausted.

Hi there, I hate to nitpick but shouldn't the headline be referring to Iran and not Iraq?

What do you mean?
Actually, I was correcting that while you were posting your comment.

No it won't . . The lefties will go along, looking Patriotic and Bi-Partisan until they have something to whine about, and THEN they'll decide there were more options . .
History is a very good teacher . . haven't they done this before?

large, options to the Left are like numbers to the rest of us. They are infinitive.

Depends on the definition of last resort is.

Hypothetically speaking, would it be wrong to openly advocate the assassination of any traitors, such as, oh say senators who are known to give aid and comfort to the enemy, who come out supporting the enemy after they supported attacking the enemy, after it happens again as it did with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
If it is wrong to advocate the killing of traitors; why?
