Seeing as this is about a 70% likelyhood, how will the American population respond. I cant see it going down too well in the UK, but poodle blair will follow his masters orders.

Hopefully sooner.

It does seem that the case for military action is being scuried together in an even more haphazard way than the case for Iraq. I'm willing to put money on an attack before the end of the year.

It was in the newspaper today http://www.independent.co.uk/ .Plus more ships sent to the gulf and an increase of forces in Iraq. However, i'd imagine israil will carry out the dirty work.

I don't see it happening this time. Bu$h lost the confidence of America and congress. No one believes that Iran is doing what the Regime says it is doing. Congress won't support it. America won't support it.

Only if Bu$h calls for a "military action" will anything happen without Congressional concent. He can't declare war without Congressional concent, and none of those assholes want the blood of another Iraq on their hands.

They are out of cash, time and support.

It is not totally beyond the realm of possibility, but I'd say that is a very heavily 'spun' news article. I think the general take on the 'news' that the Iranian gov't is harboring terrorists and providing insurgents with explosives is "well, yeh, d'uh, and btw Syria too". Sanctions on Iran are just now getting applied, also.

Personally, I think I would have a hard time getting any work done because I'd be too upset. It would probably be the thing to make me start calling my congress critters.

While you're right on all accounts, none of that would stop Bush.

Well it would certainly be the biggest disaster of the 21st Centuary, like we need another one. Still George Galloway seems to think its almost certainly going to happen and he's usually right.

It's very possible.

Remember Bush said we would not attack Iraq and a few months later was shock and awe, a well planned millitary operation.

We're being public w/ our condemnation of Iran because we want to show how we are open to public checking of our facts after the whole debacle w/ no WMDs in Iraq even though we said there was solid proof.

I don't think there will be a massive ground strike, but it is possible to do an air attack on Iran. Why do you think the Pentagon is stopping the auctioning of old F-14 Tomcat parts? Because they're slipping into Iran and Iran's air force is still using F14's and the parts are aging and so they're getting their hands on US surplus. Why would the US care about old F14 parts from planes that are over 2 decades old? Surely they're not worried that F14's 10 years from now will pose some threat to us. Surely they're not thinking that in some large amount of years, already old jets will be in any formadable shape to affect F22 Raptors in air battle. Not a chance! It's obviously a short term move to stifle an aging fleet of F14 jets in Iran possibly in prep for an air only assault on Iran. Missiles fired from navy vessels on the shore, and us jets above. Israel will probably be in on it. In fact, we may wait until it's just the right timing (i.e. aggression from Iran to Isreal), and jump in to defend our ally as the smokescreen for an attack on Iran.

The fact that we're in Iraq this long in connection to bin laden is enough to lets me know that the public isn't the best litmus test as to where we will be millitarily. Saying the US people won't allow an Iran attack is a moot point. If the population can be convinced on Iraq (a place with absolutely no ties to bin laden or 911), they can also be persuaded on Iran. Iran was more of a realistic threat to us and our allies than Iraq ever was.
