"Let's have 'Iran Week' in the Senate and get something done,"

[Thickasabrick]

He doesn't give a crap about Iran - this is all about deflecting attention from the Healthcare Debate. Screw you Senator Graham!!!

If sanctions fail, and Iran's going down the road to get a nuclear weapon, every Sunni Arab state that could would want a nuclear weapon. Israel would be more imperiled. The world would change dramatically for the worse. And if we use military action against Iran, we should not only go after their nuclear facilities, we should destroy their ability to make conventional war. They should have no planes that can fly and no ships that can float.

This guy and and Chambliss want ANOTHER Iraq?? Sounds like Bayh didn't try to discourage them much:

Even Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), also appearing on Fox News Sunday, was willing to discuss the possibility of military action against Iran -- though said sanctions come first.

"We are on a path to a nuclear Iran which is an unacceptable course," he said. "If we are gonna avoid a very painful dilemma of either having to live with that or taking military action to prevent that, which may ultimately be a choice we have to face, we need to act now on the financial and economic side."

Bayh continued: "We've gotta have firm deadlines, the sooner the better, and real consequences if those deadlines aren't met."

1. I guess the media realizes that HCR is a done deal...next?

They are trying to shape the future agenda away from EFCA and some other progressive domestic issues.

2. I think that the media are hoping the Healthcare debates go away - this

is all smoke and mirrors to deflect attention. Maybe they are really afraid the public is paying attention to what's going on...finally.

3. Too late to deflect HCR. They are trying to get out in front of next years agenda.

Nothing like foreign policy to do that. No pictures of burning bodies with HCR.
