Go here and look for the title "" Iran: plan of attack?
The attack on Iran is progressing through many channels, including the Saudis, by agreement with President Bush.
Iran's regime topples without a shooting war, unless they make a fatal mistake and provoke one, which I doubt they will.
One thing about posts, they are statements of record around here.
1. I don;t think there is enough time
2. The middle east has already decided we've chosen Suni's over Shiites and no matter how stupid we think that conclusion is, we still have to deal with the consequences.
see post #21....has link to MSNBC Video with discussion of Plans for Action relative to Iran with a former State Department Official and Pat Buchanan....it is a very good discussion....the kidnapping and killing of our soldiers in Karbala may have been intended as a message.....

Meanwhile, in a short statement to commemorate International Holocaust Day on Friday, Iran was the only country Mr Bush cited by name: Remembering the victims, heroes, and lessons of the Holocaust is particularly important today as Holocaust denial continues, urged on by the Iranian regime, which perversely seeks to call into question the historical fact of the Nazis campaign of mass murder, he said.
I wonder what Maxine Waters and the rest of the Black Caucaus, "holocaust deniers" themselves, think of this.
"Mr Bush confirmed a report in Fridays Washington Post that he had authorised US troops to shoot and kill Iranian operatives in Iraq, but denied this was a prelude to stronger action."
So they were allowed to kill Iranian operatives before?
What he said is "We deny that we are planning" meaning "we're well past the planning phase now"
