until the last minute to have these weapons made???? They won't even be ready to be deployed when they are needed. Our free wheeling thinker from Harvard....hasn't got a clue on how to run a military operation. He shoots himself out of bullets....then realizes he has no more left in his weapon to finish the job???? Obama is our hero. Rome will burn....and Washington....as he plays golf in the back of the White House...on the White House lawn.

It's as if they already had specific targets lined up for each one... watch your ass Iran

Of course, he'd probably tank the economy, but what's that compared to the prospect of four more years in office?

As much as Obama is criticized for not acting, not a single member of Congress has the courage to introduce a war declaration resolution or even an authorization of use of force resolution. If anybody in Congress was doing more than posturing, some resolution would actually have been introduced. And if the Israeli government was serious about a threat, Israeli ships and troops would be in the Gulf. The neocons are chicken hawks, unwilling to put up even a resolution, let alone the funding for action.

Again trying to make people believe he is doing something and not doing what is needed.

Is being an idiot epidemic in Alaska?!

Your ignorance is showing. Congress cannot declare war unless the president asks for a declaration of war. Congress does not even have the power to introduce a resolution asking that the president declare war. Back to school for you! I'm pretty sure that Israeli submarines are in the Gulf and Israeli satellites, which include missile firing platforms are watching Iran quite closely. You really don't know much, do you?

This is just a routine purchase. Part of normal and routine Navy purchases. The Navy has to practice sometimes and that uses up ammunition. It is like making a big deal about the number of hand grenades the Marines get - the Navy buys those too. Any Americans who want an attack should be telling their Congressmen and Senators to introduce use-of-force authorizations and funding mechanisms. Force costs $1-2 billion a day. And since deficits now do matter, taxes would have to be raised. China already said they wouldn't pay. or give the US a freebie on Iran.

First of all, the iranian people will NOT fight for the regime, that is fact number one. This is an illegitimate regime that does not represent the people. if USA or Israel attacks it, it will not have the support of the people, the idea that the people will somehow supports the government after it was attacked is a fallacy and propaganda. number two, Iran can not even beat Iraq, this is a bankrupt country whose GDP is manipulated and false, that can not even produce enough gasoline, and feeds it's people because of mass corruption on the top, to the ayatollah himself. number 3, the ones that needs to be destroyed are the mullahs, the revolutionary guards. The Iranian people will not fight for the regime, do not be tricked by these liars, they wants you to think they have the support of the people of Iran, it is false. It is propaganda, attack NOW ! China and RUssia won't help Iran, they invested too much in USA, they prefer USA than a shia islamist fascist that supports terrorist in Xin Jiang and Chechya, Sudan, Al queda, Yemen rebels, bahrain riots. Many people believe saudi funds them, but Iran is the main funder or Hamas and Hezbollah and many other terror organization. This is the source of terror. The biggest sponsor of terror. Attack NOW !

Don't worry ! The requisition order is just that . Replacement Cruise missiles for depleted stocks following a military intervention .

a nuclear Iran!

The US already has plenty of missiles and submarine detection equipment. The Israelis are masters of misinformation and maybe the Americans have learned from them. Cause the enemy to relax and then hit them very hard!

but I hope Iran does. The United States Navy has a stockpile of around 3,500 Tomahawk cruise missiles of all variants, worth a combined total of approximately US $2.6 billion." "The Air Force in 2008 maintains an arsenal of 1,140 AGM-86 ALCMs and 460 AGM-129 ACMs." "The Air Force in 2008 maintains an arsenal of 1,140 AGM-86 Air Launched Cruise Missiles and 460 newer and stealthy AGM-129 ACM (Advanced Cruise Missiles). The B-52 Stratofortress is the only delivery bomber for these missiles.

for israeli public consumption obama can not attack iran, further he stops israel as much as he can from doing so iranians are working day and night they might have afew bombs already now :) this matter should be left between israel and iran,

Article I, Section 8: "The Congress shall have the power to: "Clause 11: To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;" Back to high school for you. Shouldn't have cut class. Don't tell me, you were a blond cheer leader.

Every other was was a military engagement or words to that effect.

defend it's ILLEGAL nuke installations and it has no means to retaliate in the case of an attack on those installations...The mullahs are just sitting ducks and they know it !

Congress also used to pay for wars, back in the 20th Century. But now, deficits don't matter to the neocon chicken-hawks. The don't fight and they don't pay. War is cost free to them - whatever it's called. For Iraq they authorized, but don't even want to do that anymore.

Oh, silly you. Go back and read the Constitution and see who has the power to ask for a declaration of war. Congress can only act in response. No, I was never a cheerleader. Not my thing. I was, however, valedictorian of the best high school in New York City, and promptly went on to the Ivy League. Will that suffice? I am blonde, however. You guessed correctly. Go feed yourself a milkbone.

Possibly Iran had already Nukes, purchased from Israeli businessman who robbed Israeli arsenal. Just check your nukes before bullying Iran, Israeli zionist businessman may have sold your nukes to Iran! And US fireworks will be very cherfull after Iran produce sufficient nukes to wipe Israel off the map. You will be remembered as aggresive and unstable, double-faced nation...patched one.

Congress controls the purse strings; whatever adventures the United States may engage in are, in the end, paid for by the American taxpayers. But do keep in mind that all the recent American adventurism has been supposedly to protect and defend Arabs and Moslems. Fat lot of good that did. Iraq used biological weapons that has resulted in tens of thousands of American servicemen and women coming home from Iraq really, really sick -- and no one can figure out why (they're not looking in the right places; possibly deliberately) -- and Afghanistan is a total loss; all those American dead for absolutely nothing. The United States needs to pick its battles a little bit better. Targeting the country that considers the United States to be the "Great Satan" might be a good place to start.

time to polish obama's image. the restocking order may be routine, but the media coverage isn't.

the best way for iran to defend its LEGAL installation is the KOREAN model ! leaving the NPT and hiden new facilities. " beyonde the reache of US to find them " AS GEN cartwright admited. you take for a fact that iran has not other option.... remember korean surprise !

the same old song, which country in the world will invade iran? none iran will gets the bomb, at the minute the threat against its territorial integrity will be accurate. I remind you humbly this, that American generals have publicly declared: "US military can't stop iran from making nukes" or if they really want it "all weapons of the world are not going to change that " so stop dreaming NO, US cannot bombing or not will not change that, iran will have the bomb, stop wasting your time in futile hope for a military "option", and get ready for a nuclear capable iran

If Israel has voiolated international agreements pertaining to the weaponisation of space, and they then use that weapons platform. The Russians and the Chinese will definetely come to Irans defence. It is not just Iran's response Israel has to factor on it's the Russians, and the Chinese. I doubt any US president will risk World War 3 for the sake of 6 million people not wanting to be threatened by nuclear weapons. Evven one who have nuclear weapons themselves and a second strike nuclear capability provided by the German taxpayer. You ever more outlandish claims shows that your stated position is under serious scrutiny, and doesn't bear up to that scrutiny. I is likely that the cruise missiles are being ordered to replace the munitions used against Libya.
