The media are also pushing Obama into starting a new war because they can't stop attacking him for being "soft on terrorism" - it's being suggested that only a new war on Iran, let's say, can be proof that Obama is worthy. Good grief.
Who's suggesting this? The only people I can think of who might are the now largely disgraced Neocons, in the largely unread and pretty much unreadable
Weekly Standard magazine, or perhaps the
National Review which has essentially also been taken over by Neocons.
At present there's no way the US could fight another war. We're broke. And even if we weren't, the only way it could be fought is via the institution of a draft. I think at this point even Fox News realizes this.
