Bored with the Iraq war? The war in Afghanistan has left you cold? Well Fox News fans according pollster John Zogby, 52% of you want the US war machine to perform some rock and roll on Iran to keep them from developing their nuclear program!
Zogby Poll: 52% Support U.S. Military Strike Against Iran
Wow! Never mind this is going to create even more of a catastrophe. Macho America wants to gets it's war on! But check this out.
Democrats (63%) are most likely to believe a U.S. military strike against Iran could take place in the relatively near future, but independents (51%) and Republicans (44%) are less likely to agree
Here is the Fox news crowdRepublicans, however, are much more likely to be supportive of a strike (71%), than Democrats (41%) or independents (44%). No surprise there sportsfans! Younger voters think it will happen earlier and women (58%) more than men (48%) think the same.
Now for those who are keeping score among presidential candidates.
When asked which presidential candidate would be best equipped to deal with Iran – regardless of whether or not they expected the U.S. to attack Iran – 21% would most like to see New York U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the country, while 15% would prefer former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and 14% would want Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain in charge. Another 10% said Illinois Sen. Barack Obama would be best equipped to deal with Iran, while Republican Fred Thompson (5%), Democrat John Edwards (4%) and Republican Mitt Romney (3%) were less likely to be viewed as the best leaders to help the U.S. deal with Iran. The telephone poll of 1,028 likely voters nationwide was conducted Oct. 24-27, 2007 and carries a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Now to be fair this is not saying Hillary will order a strike, I hope the better angels of our nature will prevail. As a matter of fact Democrats and Independents(37%) say no while only Republicans (15%)agree.
Here is a mindblower, mainly the 2nd part.
Twenty-eight percent believe the U.S. should wait to strike until after the next president is in office while 23% would favor a strike before the end of President Bush’s term.
Jesus Joseph and Mary!
And will we pay for this? Well here it is from Mr. Zogby.
As the possibility the U.S. may strike Iran captures headlines around the world, many have given thought to the possibility of an attack at home. Two in three (68%) believe it is likely that the U.S. will suffer another significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil comparable to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 –
But Hey! If this gets our war on, WTF, Go for it! We are Rome in the last days. And the macho Fox viewers will be sure to fight Iran to the last of somebody else's kid.
