This is the kind of speculation that drives up oil prices to a new record every day.
We shall see.

W is more worried about legacy than Iran getting a nuke. I have it on a 80% source they already have two that they bought for reverse engineering along with NK help they could easily copy one once the materials were available. Bad news is it will be dirty, good news is it will be small in the boomer category.
Liberation day for the Iranians coming up!
We should let the people pick the anniversary date.
Wow, seems Iran may be really close to making the bomb and the Prez isn’t willing to let that happen.
This is why I voted for him.
Interesting, if true.
Mere speculation by the MSM. There are probably a dozen more scenarios they could have noted.
The idea that everyone has to be in agreement at this stage is wrongheaded. If Fallon does disagree with President Bush, I’m sure he has expressed himself and the President has listened. However, in light of who may be the next Commander-In-Chief, I’m not surprised that President Bush would prefer not to leave the fate of this country in their hands and would like some action taken now.
There was a time when US News wasn’t just another lefty weekly rag.
But that was 40+ years ago.
Why can’t we just remove Ahmanutjob like we removed Mossadegh?
This Cheney trip to the Gulf bodes ill. This is not to say that he would intentionally put himself in harm’s way...
Good riddance! Now get an old fashioned secretary of Defense. Promote a few conservative officers in the Army ranks to fill the top Staff with them. Then get it done.
BTW if my funeral is tomorrow, I've prepared a little something for that folded sheet they give all, the few or any that may come. There is also a CD to be played. There will be songs from the 1940s up to the last few years on it.
So, for you that will not make it whenever it is, I cannot provide the music here, but here is the jest of it!:
A Few last words from Danny:
While you sit there awaiting this rigmarole to begin, what you are listening to is the music and the songs of my life. Most of these meant something to me always and once upon a time to another that is most likely, like myself, not here today.
These individuals, and most of them are female, were in my life as something so very, very important and then... they were not there, only distant echos, memories late one drunken, sleepless night. The smoke only revealed in the mirror of an aged mind. A shadow of something long gone but not long forgotten. The reasons they left or that I left them is not important now, only that they were once a part of me. I ask you all to forgive me wanting once more to touch those fading memories even now that I am forever past that ability.
Those my late Father was my strongest and ever so very dearest memory during his too few years with me, the women of my life make up most of the very essence of my days on this old globe. They raised me, taught me, protected and loved me in so many ways. There was the love of my Mother and Grandmother who molded me, but the tempering of the steel, ice and fire of my soul were forged by those first love girls, all those young ladies I was infatuated with, then the dames, broads, one night stands and live-in lovers who turned me every which way but loose. I would not take a zillion dollars for those cherished moments nor even for the heartfelt and often bitter tears that flowed occasionally.
All are forever a part of me and all are not any more in my life. I don't dwell on who's fault that was any more, I just believe it was the way it was. All the highs and lows, pleasures and pains are just something I recall in what I am sure is not a true portrait of what actually happened. But I'll take it for what it is worth. In the very end I have no one to blame but myself 'cause I am what I am. I just hope any pain I inflicted is forgotten and forgiven as I have now left all that in a past I cannot remake.
There was once a wife and I left her. She was my best friend, but I cast her away in an insane moment that seemed so very, very right at the time. I shall always have a lasting, longing love for her, but our being together was just not in cards. I take full blame and I can only hope time has dimmed the hurt I caused her. Just know this, Carolyn, to go with me to my final reward is that photo of Chelsea I kept in my wallet all these years. And in that photo are all remembrances of the few happy years we did share.
Finally, let me say I cannot truly tell anymore what was my real life and what was that which I concocted to a lovely young filly or two or ten. The ‘what may have been’ and ‘what actually was’ has gotten so cross connected over the passing years that it is all jumbled into not just one big lie or one big truth, but into what I like to recall was the unbeatable adage of Hollywood in their Golden Years: "Yes, it sure ain't true history but, by gad, it was what surely should have happened!"
So, as they always said in John Ford's cavalry: 'Tll next post and God Bless!
Then there is Lebanon. In another thread there was speculation about war with Syria if the efforts to destablize lebanon didn’t cease.
My view....
Syria first
Then Iran
Syria 2008
Iran later
Iran can not be engaged with the Syrian flank exposed
They forgot about the grassy knoll.
All of a sudden, out of the blue, after only 41 years at the job.(sarcasm)
Putin's a little nuts already.Who knows what he would do if we wiped Iran out.
If we do it I just hope their entire government can be decapitated at once.
I don't think I would like the idea of having ground troops their for longer than they mission would require.
We’d better hurry up and FREE IRAN before President ObaCain cuts our military funding and turns us into Canada.
Question: could they be waiting for Iraq’s oil industry to be pumping enough barrels/day that cutting off Iran would not affect oil prices too much?
He was against the surge and should have been fired!
Didn’t we get enough of this last fall? Why start this shit up again?
*Not busting on you, but the story.
