According to GOP Congressman and ersatz upstart presidential candidate Ron Paul, there is some very loose talk on Capitol Hill these days. From Press TV:

"I hear members of Congress saying 'if we could only nuke them'," said the congressman Thursday.

"If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster," he told the Alex Jones Show.

The 72-year-old veteran politician added that the atmosphere in Congress indicates that a military strike on Iran has already been condoned.

Paul went on to express alarm at HR 362, which he calls the Virtual Iran War Resolution.

This comes on the heels of another article by Seymour Hersh warning that the US is marching to war with Iran.

For opponents of a fiery hell on Earth, we can only hope that Ron Paul is less right about this than he was about Iraq.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
