Iran will resume some nuclear activites it suspended under world pressure and is considering restarting uranium enrichment, its top nuclear official said Saturday, defying a resolution from the UN nuclear watchdog that rebuked Iran for past coverups in its nuclear program...(Mr. Moderator please print entire article if possible)

I'm not sure that he won't make it a campaign issue. But if Israel decides it needs to do the job first, it might change the equation. I sometimes hope the Iranian students will do it, in the sense of seizing power and ending the program.

You're comments are right on the mark. Right now is the perfect time for any of our overseas enemies to act against us. No matter what they choose to do, they know the democrats and media cohorts will simply spin it to hurt Bush and prevent the Admnistration from taking action.
Its a very scary scenario.
Since I don't find the source on the MUST EXCERPT list., here is the full text:
Thanks for the help. This is my first post I really didn't know how to do it. Sort of winging it.
You're welcomed. And welcome to FreeRepublic.com ! :^D
They also hurt their chances at getting reelected. Bush promised that the war on terror would take a while. He may have been thinking about how many election cycles we'd have to clear before we have voted out the requisite number of Baghdad Jim McDermotts and Patty Patty 'Osama Mamma" Murrays.
Maybe we can 'accidentally' bomb their nuke factories. Or, if Israel perceives a threat from that direction, they might take action. I don't think Iran gets a free pass on this.
Sounds real good to me!
Ah, you're feeling cynical today. Maybe this will encourage you:
I've heard reports that only 1/3 of American colonists wanted a revolution. There were 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. Gideon was told by God to select his best men -- and he took on 135,000 with his 300.
We will win because our cause is just and righteous. We will win beacuse each of us has the light of 10,000 suns burning in our eyes -- the light of liberty.
We will win because like the Greeks at Salamis, we fight for something better than religion: we fight to choose our own.
The suicidal Japanese defenders of Tarawa and beyond were amazed at the stream of hi-tech Marines slogging out of the cold waters of the Pacific to root them out of their bunkers with an array of engineering techniques and petrochemical "devices." They were told that Americans weren't willing to die for anything. But we were. And we are. But more than that, they will be shocked by our passion for living.
So will those who oppose us in our cause.
Maybe we can very ostentatiously raid them, with American boots on Iranian soil over a course of days or weeks, only leaving when assured of their permanent inoperability. Screw Iranian sovereignty, screw international outrage, screw UN resolutions, screw Democrat/press caterwauling, screw public opinion. This is serious.
Predictions, please, on the date when Israeli jets preemptively bomb the relevant Iranian nuclear facilities.
An invasion of Iran would assure the president of reelection. I think he's more scrupulous than to use that tactic. I hope he does whatever is right no matter what he thinks the election outcome will be.
Not soon enough for me.
The Germans wouldn't like that and the French would shed tears.
