"We figured all this out days ago. The Reagan going back out, 21k troops, Patriots..."

Did anyone think there is another possibility? The Israeli's know with our new congress sworn in we may not be in the region in any force for too much longer.

This means they have warned us that they are going to take out the Iranian nuke facilities. We are just protecting our interests and personnel for as long as we are there.

Iran's reaction will be rabid and they will attack us in Iraq then. Stupid yes, but these people are rabid. A single carrier (group) and 20,000 troops is only prep for what may come.

Oh, and the 20k troops will not be in Iraq any time soon. The last bits of chat I saw in the press said 18 MONTHS before they are fully there.

18 MONTHS? I'd think six weeks would do it. But then again, I'm not in the troop deployment business.

What's your prediction as to when Israel will initiate action towards Iran?
