#1 It's, to the best of my recollection, like 10th time Debka "reveals" an impending US attack on Iran.

#3 Yeah, if you read it in DEBKA, that is a general indication that it is false. But even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again. If they keep "predicting" enough times, they are bound to be right someday.

#4 Oh, I don't know. They're like Hawai'ian weather forecasters - correct exactly 50% of the time so you can't play the odds. Once a year though they do nail it exactly.

#5 Iran and several Islamist groups have already indic that any attack by the USA agz Iran invites retaliation "by any means neccessary", including but not limited to BY PROXY TERROR.
Presuming a POTUS OBAMA follows through on his promise to unilaterally reduce the US milfor presence in Iraq or to withdraw completely from same, OBAMA > SADR's MAHDI ARMY, etc. MILITIAS > WOULD BE THE VIETNAM WAR-ERA EQUIV OF LEAVING THE NVA-VC "IN PLACE" INSIDE SOUTH VIETNAM = IRAQ. We all know what happened ala FALL OF SAIGON.

* IRAQI POLITICIANS > HAVE CALLED FOR ALL US TROOPS TO LEAVE IRAQ COMPLETELY AS PART OF ANY FORMAL US-IRAQ PACT.

IOW, ISLAMIST IRAN + ARMED INSURGENT MILITIAS WILL HOLD ALL THE ACES.
