Great. Let's just wait a long time, all the while telling everyone all about it, so the Iranians have ample time to prepare!

Hey, it worked with Iraq, didn't it?

That's called diplomacy.

[ARCADIA]

What happened to speak softly and carry a big stick?

[facedown]

The latest "Cindy Sheehan" of the week.

[pcottraux]

Stupid diplomacy.

[DTogo]

D'UH!! The US military has contingency/strike plans for all sorts of global scenarios, not just Iran. Another example of the MSM's complete lack of knowledge about the military.

Using the big stick should be interesting this time. Will Bush go to Congress and do a mother-may-I if it comes to the stick? Surely he knows by now that the UN is wasted engergy as Russia and China will never authorize even sanctions let alone the use of a stick.

The CFR is most likely in on it.

[ex-snook]

If he intends to go into another war, Bush better do it after the November elections or GOP chances will fade.

There fixed it.

Good lord! this is worthy of the National Enquirer.

[bill1952]

After the 06 elections. Fallujah.

Expect the allies of Iran to make a major diplomatic 'breakthrough' then.

Will it matter? I don't know.

Let 'em prepare, if GW Bush has any brains he will destroy "all" of Iran's capability to produce oil. That action will destroy the Iranian government overnight. Then, after he does that, he should destroy all of the Iranian nuclear facilities, and destroy the ground and air forces of Syria the same day. End of problem. Some oil pain, but it will be worth it!!! USA has to act like Rome at its zenith of power. Or, there will be no USA is short shrift. If you are frightened of reality, you can vote Democrat and watch your families get abused, murdered and dispatched to the hereafter by Muslim terrorists, aided and abetted by the Democrat party. Wake up, America!!!

JRock talkin again bump

[pcottraux]

Well, personally, I long for a less politically correct time where we could actually do stuff like that.

[colorado tanker]

The air strikes must be timed when our interests deem them necessary, i.e. well in advance of any chance the Iranians will acquire a nuclear weapon. Elections must be irrelevant. The consequences of a nuclear Iran are too great.

That said, I think the Republicans only chance this November is to re-focus this as a national security election, which, air strikes would do.

[Cyclopean Squid]

...preparing for the prospect of air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities in late 2006...

Yup, gotta wait 'til those pesky elections are behind us before we do anything really important.
