your opinion? Iran-Iraq
we are seeing alot of dick-wagging and rhetorical posturing by Iran and the bush* administration

several articles are saying an Invasion of Iran is coming, and since the bush* administration is vigorously calling that 'wild speculation" and 'fantasy land' thinking - I'm inclined to believe we will invade.

Something occured to me last night - and I want your thoughts about it.

If we had an effective and competent plan to "win the peace" in Iraq, and things were going more smoothly - would IraN be so vocal in their rhetoric?

If I see someone bumbling and screwing up on a job - I would be less inclined to trust their abilities in handling that job or another one. Iran can plainly see that things are not going well in Iraq and it does make one wonder about our capabilities and leadership.

how much of Iran's current position is being 'emboldened' by bush*'s incompetency?

2. If "if and buts were candy and nuts..."
Did we invade North Korea? Nope! Why? Because the leader is as crazy as ours and has the ability to fight back!

Did we invade IraQ? Yup! Why? Because the administration wrongly thought it would be a cake-walk!

Will we take military action against IraN? I doubt it, highly! Why? Because we couldn't even "conquer" Iraq!

So why all the 'dick waving?" Simple. This administration is in SERIOUS trouble! They MUST win a war, even if a "war of words." The world knows our administration is not "quite right," "touched," if you will. If the US can get the UN and the IAEA to "sanction" Iran, the "war" is won, terror is prevented, and the administration has made the world safer. Or so they would have us believe!

Only two groups want a physical conflict with Iran, the ultra-right and the ultra-left; albeit for very different reasons.
