And with Patriot missile units being delployed as we speak to GCC states, well, it fits in pretty well...

I thought we were recently told by the WH, that we had no plans to invade Iran?

I'm afraid an attack on Iran while we are still heavily involved in Iraq would cause riots over here. The "anti-war movement" would expand beyond your average leftist and more to the population at large.

I believe that these 'leaks' are part of a joint U.S. and Israeli campaign to oust Ahmadinejad, which is imminent.

Probably just talk to keep them guessing and maybe to reveal some things. I doubt its true because it wouldn't make sense to tell them our plans ahead of time.

LOL, let's warn our enemies we are going to attack.

Give them the heads up.

We really need to finish the job in Iran first.

Once they are established, we can then move forward.

Apparently they never heard of one thing at a time.

Nothing like letting our enemies know every step we take.

I sympathize with those who don't want us to do it, but I think there is really no choice. An Iran with nukes or an Iran taking over in Iraq as we withdraw are simply not acceptable options, and the guy in charge there has shown no receptivity whatsoever to diplomatic pressure.

Won't happen -- the 'Rats in Congress and the media won't allow it. But it's probably a good idea to 'mull' in order to keep the Islamnazis worried.

If the American public had the guts to stick it out in Iraq for the long term, this would probably not be necessary, as we would have forces right on Iran's doorstep indefinitely to keep them in check. However, the American public no longer has such guts, and therefore we need to deal with Iran soon.

Maybe Bush and the Israelis are trying to provoke Iran to strike first, thus providing cover for any decision to attack.

Probably just a squeeze on Ahmadinejad. If not, this is an attack that had better be over in 12 hours or less - before the squawkers get out of bed. GWB will have zero support for any kind of extended bombing campaign.

I think someone is just trying to stir things up.
There's no way, as long as we're in Iraq, we'll be taking on another country unless the U.S. is in serious, immediate danger, and I don't see that.

Could we be making preparations just in case? We'd better be!
