US action on Iran likely in November
Feelings have strengthened here in recent days that the administration is getting itself set for decisive action against Iran in November this year, over the nuclear weapons issue.

When the UN starts its session by September, everything will be in place as far as the US is concerned, the source said.

Both China and Russia have not been in favour of any UN action against Iran. "But there will be another round of discussions in this respect, and the US will work in this direction during the summer period", the source said.

"It may be a bombardment, or some other form of military strike, or it may even be some sort of sanctions, but strong action is coming against Iran," the source said.

4. but, but, but...wait...I thought...
...it was supposed to be in January (around the Palestinian elections)...then it was moved to March (around the Israeli elections)...I have heard June (I am sure someone is electing someone)...now the new target date is November?!

Only TWO groups want this...the far-right wing (because they think it is the "end times") and the far-left (because they have a perverse need to say, "I told you so."). The "right" use "terrorism and fear" as their weapon, and the far-left use the same thing (only the "terrorists" are different)!

5. How is he going to get support from the rest of the world?
There are no countries going to back us except if bribed and the treasury is sure short on cash. Oh yeah, we can just print it.

6. He doesn't care about support from the rest of the world...or even the US.
He has his scapegoat. He has a loyal base of idiots. However, I think the whole thing is "much ado about nothing."

7. Agreed. He's going through the motions of trying the UN first.
He wins if it goes along, and if doesn't, then he'll attack Iran anyway.

I don't understand how we can "wait this one out".
