#1 We will threaten them to bring their forces to the borders, but we will not attack. Iran will be forced to choose whether to guard against invasion or rebellion.

#2 Don't read too much into my statement. It was the first thing that popped into my mind.

#3 Unless we find a 'smoking gun', W won't be able to attack. He sure can rattle the bars of their cages, though.

You mean like the smoking gun he had for Iraq?

W will attack if he has to . . . period.

#7 IMHO, W had all the reasons he needed to take out Saddam, even without the WMDs.

The problem isn't with W, it's with the DONKS and Media, especially after the Iraq WMD thingy. While many of us don't even read/listen/see the Media, the vast majority of Americans do. W needs a strong case.

I believe, along with Steyn, that Osama never left Tora Bora and he is nourishing various worms and other life forms. I also believe that most of AlQ has been in Iran for a while, protected and supported by the IRGC. Now, if we could show that, I think the American people would support a mission to Iran.

#8 .com - LOL! Rummy's da Man.
I sure as hell hope they have this strategy. The blackhats and Baby Assad need a good whooppin'. Iran has been asking for it since 1979. (Don't get me started on that pussy Jimma Carta...)

#9 Spot - :) thx! Amen, bro. I hear lotsa grumbles about Bush not doing lots of public stuff on Iran. Lol! WTF do they think - that he's gonna show his hand in the middle of an election season? Especially one that's virtually tied? And their insecurities are "special" and he should do it to make them feel better? The public's right to know. Pfeh.

Bush is doing what a Commander in Chief should be doing: keeping tabs, planning, supporting our ally - the target - Israel, etc. No matter what shows up in the press, make no mistake that the Mad Mullahs are getting all of the messages being sent their way. That they misunderstand them as often as not is, of course, a problem with their stupidity. No doubt they are "getting it" often enough.

#10 "Gee, do you think they had that in mind all along?"

Yup.
