War is good for GOPers (and their military contractors)

Ink not even dry on the official election returns and already emboldened GOP neo-cons are rattling their sabres:

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said his fellow conservative, fresh from their historic elections romp this week, support "bold" action to deal with Iran.

If President Barack Obama "decides to be tough with Iran beyond sanctions, I think he is going to feel a lot of Republican support for the idea that we cannot let Iran develop a nuclear weapon," he told the Halifax International Security Forum.

"The last thing America wants is another military conflict, but the last thing the world needs is a nuclear-armed Iran... Containment is off the table."

The South Carolina Republican saw the United States going to war with the Islamic republic "not to just neutralize their nuclear program, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard, in other words neuter that regime."

And he wants to bully China, just for good measure.

"The last thing America wants is another military conflict" but Lindsey wants to give it to us anyway. Actually, he could get me on board if every single politician and pundit who calls for an invasion leads the first brigades into the country. They want more cursed war, let them take up their guns and fight in it. And maybe they could practice up for this impending and necessary combat by joining the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, since those invasions were such successes that the wars are just about won over there.
