When Israel is getting ready to bomb the fuck out of Iran and Iran is thinking about joining the party in Iraq?
This is speculation, of course. But really, folks, after the Jews and Arabs have been picking on each other since the beginning of time, GWB has at least three months or so left in office and has pledged no tolerance toward Iran developing nuclear weapons, and Israel already has the necessary firepower... do you really think this is going to be resolved without some mondo explosions?
Just wait until November 3. Whoever wins, Dubya still has his finger on the button for a little while, and even if Kerry's in office come next year, I've got a thousand bucks that says the forces that are *really* in charge *cough*oil*cough* force his hand into at least one more round. And that's assuming he doesn't already plan on signing off on an attack or two once inaugurated. You know what they say about politicians and promises.

Number 4 is my favorite. Quotes are from number 2.
'Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Yediot Ahronot newspaper last month that "all options" were being weighed to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear-weapons capability.'
"Pre-emptive strikes have always been an element of Israel's military doctrine."
