"Frankly, I think Iran has Bush over the proverbial barrel and he doesn't know what do about it."

What is your "Iran Plan"?

"What is your "Iran Plan"?"

That's hard to say, but I do know what our general options are. We can either take out their nukes with laser guided bombs and cruise missles, or attack them with our full forces and overthrow their rotten government and dismantle their nuclear facilities. We can continue 'negotiating' with the bearded little madman who spits on our olive branch and laughs in our faces. We can also use NATO to continue to threaten them with useless sanctions, or we can actually employ those sanctions then wait and see what happens. Our last option is to do nothing at all and just let them have their nukes.

I suppose another option would be for Bush to wait and see if Isreal will attack, because they obviously have the biggest stake in the whole deal. But that option just plays into the hands for the Mohammedans, because it would inflame the entire region of Jew-hating muslims into battle mode, and even our so-called "allies" like Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, etc, might turn against us.

If it's really true that Iran is just one little baby step away from having a nuclear bomb, (as most of the experts are claiming), then I believe the only option is to threaten them with force; and if that doesn't move them to into compliance, then take decisive military action. I would warn the little madman with the greasy beard to open up his nuke sites for insepction, or else they will be destroyed. If he doesn't comply the I'd nuke ONE of their nuclear facilities with a small tactical nuke. And so on, until they either comply and open their sites up to inspection, or simply loose them all, one-by-one, to our nuclear arsenal. I got this ingenious idea from Harry Truman. It worked for him.

"What do you mean? The entire world knows that Iran has the means to build a nuclear bomb, and that they are just one little step away from having it. That's what the whole uproar is about."

Perhaps... Further if we had a Loyal Opposition instead of the treasonous Quislings we do the President might have more latitude to act.

You comments bring to mind two incidents.

When the Russians launched Sputnik the Media (a different media) went bonkers and people savaged Eisenhower for letting the Russians "Get Ahead of us" flying over the US with a satellite etc. Publicly Eisenhower was hurt. Asking if people really thought he would put the security of the US at risk. Privately he was Hot!!! Because what he would not tell the public is we were over flying the Soviet Union all the time.

Fast forward: Kennedy during the Cuban Crisis. He also got frustrated at people asking what was going on. In a momentary lapse he gave a brief insight into what we really knew to the public. The CIA (a different CIA) went bonkers as they lost intelligence capabilities because of it.

What the President does or does not know is echelons above my pay grade. So for me it is a hard call. I have seen some pretty neat things done by good leaders and so I just have to hope and pray for the best.

In a lot of ways we are all just along for the ride.

BTW Crusader sees the Arabic Islamic Culture clearly.
They are all about transitory self interest so beating them is not as hard as we are making it.
