HR 1553 introduced : Green light for Israeli strike on Iran

0 votes

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light a possible Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.

Resolution 1553 provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress backs Israel's use of 'all means necessary' against Iran, "including the use of military force," BBC Persian reported.

Clever Republicans taking the heat for Obama

This is all about Congress

This is all about Congress being able to play War without having to do it themselves. Why do we even have to "green light" this. We obviously support pre-emptive attacks with Iraq, right? Just like Dr. Paul said. Other countries will use our bad example as their example on why they should attack and say its a morally right thing to do.

RIDICULOUS!

Where as....

Where as if the failed League of Nations said it should be, then so be it.

May God save us all.

Yeah, and more youg Americans

Yeah, and more youg Americans will join the Armed Forced because there are no new jobs that will fall for this. Artificially propping up our economy. How sad. :(

When our country stops

When our country stops committing criminal acts, then that will be the time we stop supporting criminal acts.

If Iran directly threatens Israel, let them both work it out on their own, or let them go to war. It affects them and their people terribly.

Support freedom and liberty candidates in 2012... Ron Paul... Gary Johnson...

bump for peace

call your reps. Let them know that the blood of Americans, Israelis and Iranians will be on THEIR hands.

A good example of....

how our? congress votes for Israel...(Notice Dr.Paul and three other nay votes)...

I had not...but,

now that I have, I must say that there are at least 10 comments one after the other that have a VERY similar writing style as though someone wrote the same comments, and using similar words. Stacking the deck could be the job of those zionist internet watchers we have heard so much about. I wonder if their IP's were checked?

I wonder if we could be in

I wonder if we could be in the making of an instant 1-2-3! attack, due to many reasons:

1) Remember the warships off the coast of China, Costa Rica and Iran?

2) Venezuela and North Korea are peparing for any funny business and the media constantly smears Iran for having military exercises but not when the USA is doing the same thing.

3) Let's get hypothetical: curious enough, Costa Rica neighbors Panama, where the Panama Canal is located. BTW, Colombia is on the border with Panama and they allowed U.S. air bases months ago. I recall someone either stating or pointing out that the Panama Canal can be up for grabs and whoever controls that will in fact control trade from the Atlantic and Pacific. Iran neighbors Afghanistan and Iraq, which is where our troops are located. Remember, Iran and Iraq duked it out at each other approximately 20 years ago for... wait for it... OIL! And North Korea because it borders South Korea, which still has U.S. bases and troops, and China, the role model of a country everyone's going to want to follow.

Just keep your eyes and ears open to anything that sounds like war propaganda.

this sort of thing is hitting e-mail boxes all over the country; I have "friends" (I am ashamed to use that word now) who believe this is real.

Now can *you* see how *they* will try to pull this over on us?

it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

I say tar and feather whoever

I say tar and feather whoever votes for this.

Yes!! If they vote, they are

Yes!! If they vote, they are all turncoat ruffians.

malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

What is this

What is this blatherskite?

Why must we continue to dicatate terms to other countries, or vice versa?

Again, our government is not for the US, but for Israel. It's not the US house or rep, but the Israeli house of rep.

malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

And so it begins. =(

And so it begins. =(

Let Israel and Iran have at it...!

Israel will not walk away from this unharmed. In fact it may be the beginning of the end for the zionist state...Good riddance!

Iran doesn't stand a chance against Israel

Especially when the US backs Israel.

not so sure....Iran

has an incredible military arsenal (as trained and supplied by the "supers"...including US)

not to mention a huge standing military force and a population that will stand with them....as one when challenged

and strong allies...who need not join the "fight" directly to "assist" Iran

this might be a bigger challenge than we are encouraged to believe....

cee cee

I'm not so sure of your assessment

How do you know Iran has an "incredible military arsenal"? Do you think you might actually hear the truth from any source in the media if they didn't. The US has a "huge standing military force" - the Iranians have the army of the mullahs, but a "huge" force - I again would like to know how you know that.

I agree that the challenge is much bigger than we are let to believe, just like Iraq, just like Vietnam, just like Korea. It is always a challenge when we are agressive imperialists.

"We are the inheritors of the American Enlightenment, which tells us that Individual Liberty always trumps collectivism in all forms."

it is just my personal assessment....

contrary to your assertion, Iran has a very large active duty military...of around 500,000 (not including the Rep Guard)

and over a couple of million in their paramilitary (sort of comparable to our national guard)...

they have good equipment (thanks to their pals)....but better than that...

they have been focused on cyber warfare for several years

and no one has any clue how capable they may, or may not be, in the conduct of cyber war....

a hobby of mine: studying Iran....given familial ties

sorta hoping they could take down the Fed and DC from cyber land...since we can't get it done

cee cee

I hear you, it's complicated

But I doubt Israel is going to get the "green light" without there being some provisions about the United States having Israel's back.

And as we know, the United States far outdistances all other countries on military spending and military power.

Will China and Russia come to Iran's defense? I don't know. Is this the beginning of WWIII? I don't know. Whoever knows, please tell me.

don't know either

doubt anyone knows....and if they think they know...why would we rely upon that?

yes, we outspend....but do we really have more military power or prowess than our foes....who knows any more

cee cee

I hope that the US will not ....

"back" Israel. Enough is enough! If they feel a need to go after Iran who has done nothing to them, then have at it and leave US out of it. I can promise you that none of my sons are going to be drafted let alone volunteer for some murderous regime like Israel; however, you and the congress may go and assist if you like. Oh. And please take the zionist and Israeli citizens like Geitner, Emmauel, Benacke and all the rest with you...

Me?

"You and the Congress may go and assist if you like."

Hey, MY sons aren't being drafted either. I am anti-war. It seems to me that the main reason the US is picking on Iran is because Iran said it won't trade oil for DOLLARS. I mean, it's all motivated by greed.

It's tragic that the US and Israel are teaming up against Iran. There is no moral justification for it whatsoever.

I can see it now.... Passes

I can see it now.... Passes by 400(AIPAC WHORES)-2(Paul and Kucinich).

"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

If it doesn't go through, that'll be a miracle.

It's bizarre how interwoven our country is with Israel...more and more all the time.

war mongers

of a feather....stick together

cee cee

bump

for peace.
