WTF is going on? [View all]

Mike Huckabee has suggested that Israel is justified in "taking" much of the Middle East on biblical grounds. Netanyahu has stated that he has dreamed of this war on Iran for 40 years. Israel has now launched an all out war on Lebanon and Lindsay Graham is even suggesting that the US should participate to avenge the marine barracks bombing in 1983 in which 241 marines were killed. And now they are talking about ground troops in Iran. It doesn't look like there's going to be an off-ramp to this man made catastrophe.
