Will the US attack Syria or Iran in 2005?

[Chicago Democrat]

Poll question: Will the US attack Syria or Iran in 2005?

[damntexdem]

1. They'll want to.

But where would they get the troops?

[Kikosexy2]

2. So now...

the question is would you fight in either battles?

[evil_orange_cat]

3. nope

who is gonna fight this battle?

[CityZen-X]

12. Smart Bombs....

Robots, drones, and all the tools in the Terminator movie.

4. I still say it's in 2007

They have to spend at least a year or more cranking up the war rhetoric. They'll have to do it even more than last time to get the country in a warlike state of mind, and to keep people in that state of mind for the midterm elections.

6. For a land invasion certainly 2006 or 2007

But maybe bombings in 2005 and infiltration.

[DrWeird]

5. Impossible to say.

I think the US is bluffing.

But my question is, will Iran and/or Syria fall for the bluff and strike first? My gut instict is that they're calling the bluff.

7. Syria '05

I believe the US will continue to conduct clandestine missions along the Syrian border and interior in hopes of provocation.

8. Wont happen during Bush's term.

Another war in the middle east will guarantee a Republican loss in 2008, I see war in 2009 or 2012. I also predict that the Republicans will take a no tolerance stance with Syria and Iran which will cause tensions and most likely terrorist attacks by either country on the US, so even if they lose in 2008 the Democrats will have to take action against one or both of those countries.

10. There's a reason bush picked one of the weakest defenseless nations in the

world to attack when he invaded Iraq.

It is not possible for America to invade & occupy Iran or Syria. We wouldn't have enough troops even if we did a full draft. We'd lose 100,000s of US troops within a short time.

And even bush, stupid MFer that he is, knows this.

[Ironpost]

11. I think the question is, who first

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. No, they'll wait until early 2006, to make it work best for the '06

elections.

Probably Syria, because it's a mid-term election.

Then Iran in 2008, before the '08 elections.

Spread democracy abroad to stifle it at home.

[Rosco T.]

14. you have "OR", where's the choice for "AND" ?? n/m

[wuushew]

15. They will wait until 2006

If we use the Iraq time-line, the propaganda campaign will take more than a year. The clock started during the inaugural address and the shit will hit the fan sometime before the midterm elections.

16. kik

[The Magistrate]

17. Probably Not, Sir

My guess is that action wilol be timed for impact on the Congressional races of 2006. That is the pattern these reptiles have displayed. All of this is a mere tool to manipulate domestic political life....

[bpilgrim]

18. you FORGOT N. Korea

and ALL OF THE ABOVE.
