Will the Ryan pick increase or decrease the probability of going to war with Iran?

Is he just a money cruncher or is he also a war nut? If Cheney loves him, he has to have something besides taxes for the poor/middle class and tax cuts for the rich.

1. Decrease. The pick is a score for Obama.

2. It's only an increase

IF Romney wins the election. (and thats a VERY BIG "if&quot

3. Well, yes of course I meant if he wins. Should have been clearer.

I was just wondering if he even has an interest in anything tied to the military, other than cutting expenses on our vets or supplying the war machine with more contracts.

4. It really looks like Israel may not wait for the US election.

Decision by Netanyahu, Barak to strike Iran is almost final — Israel TV - ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014191261 ).

Hopefully, we do not get involved either before or after the election.

5. Thanks! I didn't see that.

I agree that we should not get involved, but it seems the Pugs are determined to pull us in, if for no other reason than military spending and that they love messing around that region. They will never learn.
