#1 Why is no one going around pointing out these insane quotes to the general US pop so they understand what must be done in the near future?

I wish there was a good answer to this vital question. The fact that neither side of the aisle is howling to the rafters about this is sufficient to d@mn them all to everlasting hell.

#2 The Iranians are preparing for the last war and not the next one. They thought they saw shock and awe in Iraq II, but there wasn't more than 15 minutes of real excitement. Maybe they'll get to have a look at what it REALLY looks like.

#3 The reason no one is going around stoking the fires of anti-Iranianism is that we are no where near ready to attack Iran. Bush & Rove will do a good job of getting the people on board once he's decided it's time to roll.

#4 Nimble Spemble: Militarily, I suspect we are pretty well ready. However, diplomatically is another matter. We have to "get our ducks in a row", with a ton of stuff with the other powers.

Lots of "If they..., then we..." statements, going over anti-escalation protocols, arrangements for neutralities and international treaty obligations, identification of military targets and objectives, actions that would *start* a war, etc. ad nauseum.

In its own weird way, Foggy Bottom is as busy as the Pentagon leading up to a war.

#5 None of this is aimed at our military or its civilian leaders. It's aimed squarely at the MSM and the anti-war types. They see how much wailing and gnashing of teeth (and political back-tracking and ass-covering) has been produced by the ongoing violence in Iraq. Sounds like a pre-emptive PR attack.

#8 I would like to think that Bush and company are just playing their cards tight to the chest looking like the weak horse letting the Mullahs dig their own hole while we gear up and prepare. My original belief was we were going to hit Iran mid year everything will be in place.

I don’t know thou I am scared that because of the huge PR success the LLL’s have had on Iraq against Bush that he has lost heart and instead are going to just let the Iranians make the first strike. That way we get the undeniable self-defense defense even thou this will mean nothing to the LLL’s they will still blame Bush.

Of course that type of policy will cost millions in damage and hundreds or more in casualties from a first strike from Iran. If we hit them first much of their conventional stuff will be obliterated in the first days but if they get first hit those weapons will get some use at our expense is that expense worth some limited fuzzy feel good PR?

I hope my first thought turns out to be right. And to Nimble we got the power left to take down Iran. The Air Force and Navy who would be the main force at least for many of the first months against Iran are pretty much untapped so far in the WOT. The Army/Marines are stretched but far from breaking point (people forget in WW2 our guys signed up and didn’t come home at all until it was over not year or 6month tours multi year tours).

We could devastate Iran from the air plus decapitation in full effect and then cleave off sections like the SE, SW and NW Iran arming the already existing rebel groups in these areas and training the ones from the next goal zone. At some point if the “revolution” never stands up we could continue the decapitation until we get a mullah that will sign onto surrender on our terms. Those terms would be limits on their military and severe well-written inspections with pre written consequences for non-compliance. A humiliated Iran tied down with inspections and military limitations will be the next best thing to a free democratic Iran.

#9 And if we don't attack, that will only delay the implementation of "Judgment Day" for a few years.
