| #11 Much as I enjoy the speculation about the multi-layered political maneuvering, Occam's law overrides, as usual. Alas, and alarmingly, that means this is a confidential declaration of war straw poll. I expect another meeting very soon with the GOP House leadership. When all that is done, we'll see the extent of the spine transplant, or even more aggressive drone an "counter-terrorist" activity - only this time crossing into Persian territory. That, or the rapid emergence of several "liberation fronts" within its boundaries. Is Hillary watching the phone overnight? |

| #8 VARIOUS BLOGGERS = POTUS Bammer may start or wage war agz Iran to ... > Divert from F-n-F = GunWalker brouhaha. > Divert from Recession II = possib "Great Greater Depression". > Failure of QES. > "2012" + potential declaration of Iran as a NucWeaps State = REGIONAL, GLOBAL JIHAD-HAPPY MILTERRS + aligned will inevitably also possess advanced Nukes-WMDS = the US for all practical purposes has LOST THE GWOT DESPITE BATTLEFIELD, DIPLOMATIC SUCCESSES??? Iff PERSIAN + OTTOMAN HISTORY is any measure, any such war will be long + nationally chaotic/stressful - the US or any US-led Coalition will be fighting not just BASIJ + allied foreign Gighters-Groups, but also IRGC + heavy units of the regular Iranian military. Iff Tehran has its way, IMO any fighting will be akin to the 1950-53 KOREAN WAR or VIETNAM, NOT AFPAK OR 2003 IRAQ, + save wid high risk of ANTI-US DIRTY BOMBS, TACNUKES, + BMS [e.g. SCUDS] + PROXY-LED TERROPS AGZ CONUS + WASHINGTON DC. Tehran has previously also made it clear that it is willing to unilater wage REGIONAL WAR iff necessary to defeat a US-Israeli "invasion" of Iran. The Bammer + US Congresscritters had better think carefully about their response, AS THEY MAY INDEED BE PUTTING/BETTING THEIR LIVES ON THE TABLE. |

| #7 This story has allot of hits. Speculation is in overdrive. In my opinion O is a big question mark. Isolated as he is my concern is how he will react. In my opinion he will dither. 100 Senators at a major briefing means much more may be of concern. |

| #6 Gunwalker House hearings will be held next May. If there are Green Giveaway hearings, they will be next June. 0bama can divert all he wants, but when Issa gets on primetime, he's toast. |

| #5 The cynic in me says they will ride this as far as they can so they can deflect the Gunwalker and Solyndra type corruption and crime from the public eye. |

| #4 All these years they let the Mad Mullahs develop their potential for nukes and export terror all over the world. But they think Iranians tried to ice one Soddy and they're ready to go to war? I'd be cheering for it if I didn't find it so peculiar...and if I didn't think Obama is so far in over his head. |

| #3 Yup, they are riding that horse hard. Shell game to divert attention from solar company money laundering scams and F & F. |
