http://www.infowars.com/one-week-until-u-s-has-3-aircraft-carriers-facing-iran/Buried in this infowars article is an interesting kernel to consider:
No one in America wants a war with Iran. It's a loser notion to left and right. Neither candidate makes hay with the proposition.
However:
Imagine Iran has a "natural disaster" oil spill. Obama could be such a bridge-builder, such an elegant stateman, such a creature of self-effacement, if he stowed the egos of the "Washington power hungy elite" that want to warmonger against Iran, and put our resources to work alongside Iran's to clean up such a spill in the Gulf that threatens shipping lines to the entire world. It would show Romney is so heartless and vicious, while Obama is merely doing his duty as Chief Executive of the United States and setting politics aside to build a better tomorrow for all the world's children
TM.
The oil spill would put all the zOMG talk about Iranian nukes on the backburner for a good year or two. The 2014 election cycle could focus on the international implications of the oil spill, and the 2016 cycle could get back on the zOMGIranhasnukes!eleventy!1! bandwagon again.
Watch for an October surprise that is something other than yet another war.
