#2 September surprise? Telegraph story; haven't seen much in the U.S. media but that would be no surprise. They are too busy beating up on Romney. Article says Obama has meeting with Netanyahu today. The article was posted on 9-15. There is a lot of firepower being concentrated in the Gulf.

#5 Iran's main retaliatory response will likely be ala proxy Regional + International Terror, most certainly agz the US + Israel + now UK, + all other Govts-States determined by Iran to had supported the attack agz them.

Again, IFF THE US DIDN'T WANT TO INVADE IRAN BEFORE, IT WILL HAVE TO INVADE NOW AFTER ANY ATTACK(S) BY IT ANDOR THE ISRAELIS AGZ IRAN, e.g. 2003 Iraq.

I have no doubts there will be major TerrOps launched agz Washington + London [Royals].

#6 Well the first word of this article being Bullcrap aside, it would make sense given the protests and attacks. I have no doubt Iran could have given support to Al-queda for the various embassy attacks and the Taliban attack in Hemland.

Giving Champ something to think about for his re-election maybe? I'm not convinced Obama wouldn't shoot down an "unidentified" Aircraft heading to Iran.
