Dunno which letter to pick for mine: after our US election in early November, Iran will do something provocative, and the US will launch a strike on Iran that will destroy some significant Iranian capability.
After the Olympics at the end of August there will be a bank crash in China and the speculative commodities market will adjust south some 30+ %. The Iranian economy with its 25 - 30 % inflation will have a flush down when the income from oil is evaporating.
Iran will step down its confrontational policies in October/November 2008 and Ahmadinejad is replaced.
Then there will be a military agreement between Washington and Tehran. The Saudis don't know what to think: Is this against the Wahhabis or only against al Qaeda?
Is this wishful thinking or what I think? Sure, it is wishful thinking.
F. The U.S. is a little busy at the moment, lets allow Israel take care of this one.
Israel only December 6.
USA on December 10, after Iran’s reaction.
No strike.
Here’s what is happening: Iran wants to be a recognized nuclear power, gifted with a UN Security Council Veto & Membership representing the Middle-East, and all current trade sanctions against Persia ended.
So here is their plan: pursue their nuclear program in public as Part One...
Sabre Rattle against the U.S. and Israel for Part Two...
Make such incendiary public statements and overt military actions (without crossing a certain line) that Israel or the U.S. bombs Iran...
At which point Iran rolls out Part Three: it “tests” the nuke that it bought from North Korea...
...and Iran makes this test public **IMMEDIATELY** after it gets bombed by the U.S. or Israel...
Meaning that Iran is then poised to go on a WORLD TOUR ginning up sympathy for its “defensive” possession of nukes and the need for Iran to be elevated in UN status as a “counter-balance to the U.S. and Israel.
So the big picture here is that Iran is baiting us to attack them as part of their trap.
