On the tenth anniversary of Iraq, another American President is threatening the use of force in the Middle East. What’s more, the American public is behind him. A recent Pew poll has just found that 64 percent of Americans—and 62 percent of Democrats—believe preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is more important than avoiding war.Boy did the Democrats change their tune. They stopped Bush from taking care of this problem. Now they are behind Obama when he rattles the sabers. What's more, Obama could be in trouble with regard to Benghazi, if that ever gets to light. Would he use force in order to bail him out of a difficult political situation?

Corrected an error in the text, and this post got bumped to the top. Don't know why.

As long as this post remains on top, I may as well update it again.
What does this poll really mean? I can't believe Obama really intends to attack Iran. Another explanation for this is that is not a prelude to an attack, but it is merely to project a hawkish image to the Israeli public so that they won't regard Netanyahu as their protector. It is meant to make the Israelis reject their Prime Minister in the hopes that Obama will come to their rescue and will attack Iran. But I think if that is what Obama and his henchmen in the media are doing with this poll, then it is a ruse. The idea is to get rid of Netanyahu.
This may also serve to help Obama in the US too, just in case he gets into trouble over Benghazi.
