These stories about us not being able to effectively wage a 2 front war are nonsense.

I think the worry is that any war with Iran would end up with tens of thousands of Iranians pouring across the Afghanistan and Iraq borders, which would cause problems for us (the least of which, Iranian agents in Iraq have probably already been setting up to help them fight us). We've been killing and capturing Iranians in Iraq for several years, and it's a dirty little secret (not well kept) that they are Quuds and the like - the types of forces that would be prepping to assist Iranian troops crossing the borders into Iraq. Those people have a point - Iran of 2007 is not Iraq of 2003, and my view is that Iran has been building up a force specifically for Iraq, probably when we leave, but they would also be handy for Iran to use in Iraq if we attack.

I don't see us attacking though, because it would hand the 2008 elections over to the Democrats. Regardless of whether we should not, if the majority of Americans are against it, and we do it anyway, then the GOP is finished in politics for a few election cycles.

I don’t believe an attack would benefit the left at all. Already more then half of Americans asked believe we should attack Iran to prevent them from getting a nuke.

Probably though Israel will take care of it while we give them a wink and a nod all the while calling their actions “dangerous” and “probably excessive”. No one on this planet wants those assh*les to come anywhere close to having a nuke so no matter what feigned outrage we will hear if it is necessary to attack it will all be for show.
