Republicans and Some Democrats Go BOOM!!!

There is a dangerous trend from our Presidential hopeful politicians that should scare all peace loving people. They are all sounding like the Bush Administration when it comes to using nuclear weapons against other countries instead of negotiating and trying all other means to avoid using nukes. These people are unfit to be President and should lose all backing from their supporters. This won't happen, but it should.

All the major Republican candidates are unfit to be President because they all stated that they would use tactical nuclear weapons to attack Iran.

Republican debate goes boom

John McCain was silent on the issue but given his 'Hawkish' stance lately he would. In this case silence can be construed as acceptance considering his famous Beach Boy Parody on "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" His lame excuse that this was just in fun doesn't cut it because he just apologized for the singing not the lyrics.

Although Senator Joe Lieberman is not a candidate, he would bomb Iran with nukes. Remember Lieberman being an orthodox Jew, in addition to being a US citizen also is a citizen of Israel, i.e. dual citizenship. So his stance is really not that surprising given that Israel would nuke Iran if given the chance.

Republican Constitutionalist Ron Paul would not use nukes. This is another reason for Republicans and others to consider him as President. Representative Ron Paul is a Libertarian but is running as a Republican so he can get more exposure and possibly elected.

The mainstream news media has been pushing for a war because they seem to be a propaganda arm of the current neo-conservative leadership that have taken over our democracy.

The Democrats have their war mongering cheerleaders, i.e. Clinton, Edwards, and Obama stated they would use tactical nuclear weapons if they had to which lead to the statement by Senator Mike Gravel saying they really scared him.

Mike Gravel, Bill Richardson, and Dennis Kucinich are opposed to using nuclear weapons in any case against any country at any time. This is a reason for Democrats to consider them for President.


The Pentagon's most likely next target is Iran.

Hillary Clinton says "no option can be taken off the table."

Barack Obama says that the Iranian government is "a threat to all of us" and "we should take no option, including military action, off the table."


John Edwards says, "Under no circumstances can Iran be allowed to have nuclear weapons." And: "We need to keep all options on the table."

A year ago, writing in The New Yorker, journalist Seymour Hersh reported: "One of the military's initial option plans, as presented to the White House by the Pentagon this winter, calls for the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites."

For a presidential candidate to proclaim that all "options" should be on the table while dealing with Iran is a horrific statement. It signals willingness to threaten -- and possibly follow through with -- first use of nuclear weapons. This raises no eyebrows among Washington's policymakers and media elites because it is in keeping with longstanding U.S. foreign-policy doctrine.
This year, with their virtually identical statements about "options" and "the table," the leading Democratic presidential candidates -- Clinton, Obama and Edwards -- have refused to rule out any kind of attack on Iran.

If you're not shocked or outraged yet, consider this:

On Feb. 22, the national leaders of MoveOn sent an e-mail letter to more than 3 million people with the subject line "War with Iran?" After citing a need to give UN sanctions "a chance to work before provoking a regional conflict," the letter said flatly: "Senator Hillary Clinton has provided some much needed leadership on this."

For those of you who are very involved in the peace movement be aware that the vast majority of front running Republicans and Democrats have openly come out and stated their use of tactical nuclear weapons are very scary and dangerous. They scare me and are not fit to be President. Don't be deceived by their 'peace' rhetoric and mouthing platitudes so they can get your vote. If push came to shove, they would disappoint this base as mushroom clouds appear that they would be responsible for.

Do we really want to see these fired off anywhere in the world by any of our leaders when we have not even started to negotiate with Iran? If we do fire these off against Iran we will have opened up the option for others to use nuclear weapons against us such as China or Russia. India and Pakistan has nuclear weapons as does Israel. The world is dangerous enough without our leaders even hinting they would use these. Once the nuclear Genie is let out of the bottle, it may be impossible to contain.
