ggrtrhhrtgg Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Not trying to alarm anyone, but I check out CNN.com on a daily basis and there has been alot of chatter on Iran. It makes me wonder, is an attack on Iran imminent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder if it's not tied in with it being Ashura. Here's hoping that's the case.How long till Bush is gone, again? No Parthian shots, I hope (but don't bank on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Sad to think what Iran has already had to endure of the Americans in the last sixty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Iran - Far AwayI am continually amused by these 'international issues' are distracting us from focusing on our own country.Definitely interesting but also a distraction.Other than to make up my mind how I vote or shop, it's always the same old crap.Sorry guys, but how is this any different than any other large scale war for profit?

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 well for starters this one's going to involve nukes (imo), it's potentially another illegal war from an insane man at the helm of the world's most powerful country and is one of the main reasons why the doomsday clock is at 11:55, Beats.we're teetering baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The only reason the Us has not attacked Iran already is that they are a "real threat" that may have nuclear weapons. This is why the US hasn't attacked North Korea. The only respect the gun. Also the US military is so weak right now they don't have the means to fight that war right now....If the Us attacks Iran they are fucked.........bets to leave that one be......

timouse Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 New Yorker story from last spring. Posted 2006-04-08The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups. The officials say that President Bush is determined to deny the Iranian regime the opportunity to begin a pilot program, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium.

edger Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think it would be political suicide (at the very least) on their part if they go ahead right now. They're having a hard enough time justifying Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The US military as powerful as they are, are spread thin right now. Sure they can go in and bomb the crap out of a country from a far using all the highly advanced weapons at their disposal.Eventuaully they need to move the troops in and this is where they fail. Iraq is proof of this and is becoming the battle field between the US and Iran.It is also true that the US is worried about the Nuclear option. No one is exactly sure what Iran can produce. Even a crude bomb or radioactive material itself could be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 is an attack on Iran imminent?Most definitley!I think before summer hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'm going to agree with the fact that the U.S. Army is stretched way too thin to even muster up a fart in Iran's direction right now. If they were thinking about attacking, they wouldn't be spending as much money and energy increasing forces in Iraq. Their hands are tied and they're probably sitting in the oval office praying to "8'6" Baby Jesus" that Iran doesn't mobilize first. The only way I could imagine an attack on Iran is the deployment of extra troops to Iraq being a front for an attack on Iran, but I see it being wise to take diplomatic measures first.And Hillary Clinton? Are you kidding me? Saying that Bush should have every troop out of Iraq before she, I mean, the next president, gets behind the big desk? It's almost as impossible/irresponsible as it is crazy.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 It's almost as impossible/irresponsible as it is crazy.Ah, but this administration is irresponsible and crazy.I have to figure that Iraq is absolutely going to be left as a big steaming dump on the desk of the oval office for the next people to have to deal with.

paisley Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Neo-conservatives, particularly at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute, are urging Mr Bush to open a new front against Iran. So too is the vice-president, Dick Cheney.thats scary...if not for Cheney and Rumsfeld's obsession with Iraq, it would still be much like it was... take that however you like it... when Russia's communists fell in the 1990's a new "enemy" was needed... Cheney and Rummy have been plotting global american dominance together since Nixon was running the officemakes you have to wonder bout the recent "last ditch" US troop buildup initiated by GB's republicans in Iraqfrankly I'm feeling very sick of war, particularly of the pre-emptive variety... just when you though muslim/western tensions were maybe on the decline (besides in Iraq, where its "personal") that'd be just the spark to set things blazin again... such a typical neo-conservative strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
