In my opinion, many are just waiting for Israel to go ahead and destroy the facility. They did that years ago in Iran and more recently in Syria. After it's done there will be condemnation from many but many will breathe a sigh of relief and be glad it's taken care of.

The U.S. is currently fighting Iranian trained and supported terrorists in Iraq. Americans are being killed because of Iran's support in Iraq.

Israel is also fighting Iranian trained and supported terrorists in their own country.

Now looking back at that we see it for what it was -- just idle election-year speculation.
I've wondered for a while if Osama Bin Laden has actually been dead of natural causes for years now. He was a very sick man even before 9/11, and running through the mountains doesn't lend itself to the type of medical care he required. I find it strange that he hasn't released any videos in years. A video would be greatly beneficial to their cause. In the last video he released years ago, he looked very ill and was not using his dominant hand to gesture at all. I don't think he moved that side of his body at all.

I was being sarcastic within myself reading the more liberal view of how everyone hates the U.S. because of a possible attack on Iran when the truth is the fact that Isreal will do the job. That's why I said "I love it!".

Re: Pre-Election Plans to Attack Iran

I am in the Air Guard and before this I was active duty AF. Frankly, I do not see how we could attack Iran. We already have so much on our plate. Over 75% of my Guard unit is activated. Where will they get the people to do an attack? I really couldn't see them starting the draft up again.

They could take out this nuclear plant with an air strike.

Bro. it is very likely that the US wont be involved in any attack on Iran.

Israel will likely do this. however, if there is U.S. involvement, it will be logistical assistance and possible fighter cover for their bombers.... if anything at all.

even if we did get involved, it would be a bombing campaign that would last a week or so and no invasion.

this isnt an Iraq redux.

Re: Pre-Election Plans to Attack Iran

If Israel attacks Iran, you can bet your sweet bippy the US will be heavily involved behind the scenes. Logistics, supplies, missles, support, finances ... Basically whatever Israel would need, the US would give them if they attacked Iran.

I think it would be a monumentously stupid move ... but this is the administration prone to monumentous blunders. Hopefully Dubya will allow the EU and other Arab states take the lead and work through a better process than what was done with Iraq.

If Dubya still had a few years left in office, I could easy see him launching a full-scale attack on Iran and implementing a draft.

Thankfully he's only in office seven more months ... and that will be the end of an error.

So my friend, what do you think the proper course of action should be to deal with Iran getting nuclear bombs? Considering that they have an official position of wiping Israel off the face of the earth... and have a proven track record of equiping terrorists that want to blow up America....

IF (and Godforbid) Barak Obama is elected, and IF (yea right) he were to support action against Iran, I would stand up and cheer and support him 100% for the act.

Ahmadinejad is just a puppet ... according to Iran's laws he has a boss. The real leader in Iran (and commander in chief of the military) is not Ahmadinejad - it's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And while Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is completely against Israel and the US, it's doubtful he would seek to acquire, or use nuclear weapons against Israel.

It's already a done deal anyway. We and the EU are doing exactly what the US and England did to Japan before the attack on Pearl Harbor. We and other nations are now going to blockade Iran's ports and squeeze them to the point where Iran will have no choice but to attack. Then we'll say, "see, I told you so."

Just a matter of time.

Let negotiations continue. Forget about the puppet and appeal to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the real power of Iran - the people. Blockades and sanctions are only going to hurt the people of Iran, not Ahmadinejad. Negotiating with Iran isn't a sign of weakness, so long as there is no appeasement.

Remember: Negotiation does NOT equal Appeasement.
