If Bush starts war with Iran, not for 4 years but for 40 years there can't be elections in USA!!!
And thats not because Iran will fight with USA, Iran will be defeated in less than a month or two, but the situation in Middle East will become tragically complicated.
Specially with the terrorism activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and somehow Turkey (PKK).
However, Iran is the only Muslim country in the region that doesn't have the terrorism problem inside the borders.
Iran is 4 times bigger than Iraq and has a much more complicated ethnical and religion composition. If USA can't control Iraq, how's going to manage Iran?!!!
The problem is not the Iranian government, as I told you, the Iranian government doesn't have the power to face USA too much, but after US defeated Iran, won't be able to manage Iran and a real tragedy will be in Middle East.
USA must face the Islamic Republic politically.

Whatever he does, it won't get him re-elected into the Presidential office again as there is a thing call term limits and the Presidential Office is limited to a two, four year term run. So a total of 8 years. As this is year number 7, he cannot be re-elected in the 08 elections.

Where did you get that information? There is nothing in the constitution that says there cannot be elections during war.
Abraham Lincoln was re-elected during a war. FDR was re-elected during a war. Richard Nixon was elected during a war.

We had better go in to Iran and take out their nukes before they get them done or we are really in WW III and they say it every day. Check out memritv.org
If we do not then we will have repeated what happened in WWI and WWII and the Armenians and the Jews and many many more dead for not acting in time when we should have and it is all repeating again. Only with much graver stakes.

Beemer let's go let's do this baby. let's attack Iran ...I live around the southwest border of Iran right next to Iraq so I guess we're among the first victims. plus we got a nuclear power plant one or two hundred kilometers from my city that US army can target.
let's see if our Yankee friends can save this god-for-saken country.

There have been elections in wartime, before, most recently in 2004, so you've got a shakey premise there, to say the least.
And, no, I think he has other reasons for wanting (or not wanting) to attack Iran.

He cannot rewrite the US Constitution. Elections are held during war times.

Yes, because he'll use the war as an excuse to declare martial law.
Martial law = no elections = official dictatorship.
And he won't need the military... that's what Bonzo has Blackwater for.

under the american constitution the president can only stay in office for two terms. the only exception to this was
F D Roseveltd during WW2 when this stipulation was suspended.

Yes, we already are hearing about WMD -- the Republican Guard has intra continental missiles and the Bush administration is calling them WMD.
