Resolution Green-Lighting Israeli Strikes on Iran Introduced by House Republicans
Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light an Israeli bombing campaign against Iran. The resolution, H.Res. 1553 (in full below), provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress supports Israel's use of "all means necessary" against Iran "including the use of military force". US military leaders have warned that strikes could be catastrophic to US national security interests and could engulf the Middle East in a "calamitous" regional war.
Nearly a third of House Republicans have signed onto the resolution, which has been publicly discussed and circulated by its lead sponsor, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), for months.

Assholes, every one of them. Legislature doesn't make foreign policy. These assholes just want to keep the MIC rolling in 100s of $Bs now that Iraq is winding down and there is immense pressure on Pentagon to reduce spending.

It's a combination of the MIC's influence, republican's paranoia and the fact that they can only chug so many jew s at one time.
D!ck chugging forum. See ya.
*sigh* And I thought he was going blind from jacking off...
Yeah, and Obama jerking off while Iran going nuclear is really promoting peace in the Middle East.
"W" didn't take care of all that?
W would certainly support the Israelis if THEY took care of the problem. Unlike Obama.
What's the point of "pre-emptive" approval? Certainly, it would be prudent to wait until something actually broke out, THEN determine whether it was worthy of acceptance/praise/blame etc?
If Israel is intent on war, I think America should cut ties with them.
We want peace. We want freedom. We do not want war.
Unfortunately, I feel it is inevitable.
Unless I am mistaken, Obama has not even met with Ahmadinejad and this is something he promised that he would do without any pre-conditions during his campaign.
Mr. President, I think now would be a good time.
Yeah, and preemptively bombing them, which is exactly where this legislation is trying to go, is really going to promote peace in the Middle East.
Israel and the UAE need to fight their own wars. Why do we have to do everything? Is it ever going to stop?
Bomb bomb bomb... Bomb bomb Iran...

What will bombing Iran achieve other than giving them more incentive to complete their nuclear weapons program?
The whole point of war on Iran is to destroy their nuclear capability, just don't contaminate that oil, which is The Real Prize for US neo-con Real Men.
The point of bombing Iran isn't security - Israel is safe from Iranian WMDs....the point is more oilgarchy control over the Iranian oil fields and control of the flow of oil worldwide...
...America cannot afford another war that a) has been shown will not slow down Iran's nuclear ambitions b) makes the situations in Afghanistan and Iraq even more precarious C) profits multinational corporations more than protecting American security...
Sit down at the table and put it in writing that their nuclear capabilities will be for energy only.
Any country that wants nuclear weapons will have them...especially a country where the oil flows and money is abundant.
If Israel can have nuclear capability, then I see no reason for Iran not to.
Israel is the one that openly wants it for WMDs.
Their hearts might be in the right place, but I think Israel would prefer them to express their support after the surprise sneak attack. Announcing their support for a surprise sneak attack before it happens is counterproductive.
1) Isn't the Executive branch mainly in charge of foreign policy?
2) Why do the US has to 'green-light' anything related to country A bombing country B, when neither country is the US?
Exactly. Having it in writing sure stopped North Korea. Oh wait...
Is it 'unfair' that only the U.S., China, Britain, Israel, Russia, North Korea and a few others have nuclear weapons? Yes- it's also a of a lot safer that way. Iran would like Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth. Israel is considered a 'one-nuke country.' Regardless of whether or not you see a reason for Iran not to have one, I think Israel sees plenty of reasons.
They don't have to green-light anything- Israel will do what they think they should, regardless of what everyone else thinks (as they did with the Osirak reactor in Iraq back when everyone else thought they shouldn't). This is more of an expression of support.
With the economy still in the ter, and unemployement sky high, THIS is the best they can spend their time legislating?
Why doesn't each one of these ers send them a letter of support and move along?
And BTW, I have no problem with Israel doing whatever they want to do. I also don't think they need anybody's support.
They should have done it privately. As far as the economy is concerned, they're in the minority, there's not much they want to accomplish that they'll be able to pass right now (Paul Ryan's plan, for example).
As for b_d, there's no guarantee we go to war with Iran if Israel bombs them. We didn't immediately go to war with Iraq when they were bombed by the Israelis. Iran won't likely send it's military out of the country either when they have to worry about insurrection from their populace.
You people are idiots. The only reason Iran has a nuclear program is because they are going green.
Why should westerners be the only people with an irrational fear of carbon dioxide.
