If Republicans lose in November, would it be right for the president to start a new war in Iran anyway?

I have read reports of a massive military buildup around Iran by American and European powers. One can only ask: why?

    He can start it, but he cannot continue it without the consent of congress, the congress has the purse strings and without their support it cannot be funded. He can do it for 90 days without Congress but then he has to have the action ok'd. This is part of the checks and balance that we have needed for 6 years.

    There's not going to be a war against Iran. Their military is enormously more capable than Iraq's was, and everybody knows that. Any military buildup in the region is to apply pressure to their government.

    Run for the hills, because you ain't seen nothing yet! Oh yea, just in case you don't know, as long as there is a war going on, whoever is President at the time, will stay President until the war is over. It's coming, are you ready?

    Because all governments and politicians steal taxpayers`s money by owning stock in armory making firms. If there never was a war how could they explain the need for another $ 500 mill weapons system? Do you really believe a hammer can cost fifty bucks for the army when it costs 10 bucks for you in your local shop? War is such a good business it will never end.
