Will the U.S. attack Iran in 2005-2006?

[GreatBarracuda]

Given my distrust for this administration, I think it's very likely. No one thought a second war with Iraq would happen but it did. It starts with the administration suddenly realizing its responsibility as the "leader of the free world". "War-talk" begins ... takes hold, the media add fuel to the fire, something "happens" and after the situation is blown out of proportion, shock-and-awe ensues. This formula was of course tried, tested and perfected with Iraq.

Now the war-talk has started again with the administration singling out Iran as the stronghold of all evil on Earth, namely the State of the Union speech and the latest comments by the US Secretary of State that attacking Iran was not on the US agenda "at this point in time" --- the implication being it's possible at a later time...

Now that was my opinion, what's yours? Take the poll, let us know.

Satan lives in Iran.

 

[nageov3t]

actually, everyone thought a second war would happen

I don't think we'll go into Iran, though.

next up Venezuala, they have 15% of our oil imports, their leader is anti-American and supposed to be the next Fidel Castro

however, only reason #1 is important.

That is quite evident from your poll.

Who's no one? This was planned back in the 70's.

"at this point in time" --- the implication being it's possible at a later time...

Duh. Unless we are going to pledge to never attack, it's always possible in the future.

You forgot a poll option. Israel attacks their nuclear capabilities for us. We publically tell them to they shouldn't have, while cashing the checks for the bunker busters we just sold them.

Ok. Check out the poll now.

Those people who voted yes will end up wrong. I'd bet $$ we do not invade Iran, not anytime soon at least.

The current admin has ZERO support for it, and ZERO resources for it.

Exactly. Isn't the military stretched thin already? We probably won't be out of Iraq for a decade, and until then who's going to do the invading?

 

[Aimster]

Invading Iran will cause WW III. It will never happen and the Iranian regime will survive yet another day.

If Israel strikes Iran's nuclear sites, we go to war. Yes, you heard me people. Iran will attack the U.S before the U.S attacks them. (as a result of Israel bombing their sites)

 

[conehead433]

Actually we will be out of Iraq faster than you can say don't do it. The newly elected government will be asking us to leave ASAP. This will enable us to move into Iran from both Iraq and Afghanistan. They have oil and we're coming after it.

 

[fornax]

bamacre, you forget that reason has never been the strong in the current (and past) administration. The president's brain (naturally underpowered to begin with) has apparently been destroyed by drugs and alcohol to such a degree that nothing can be said for sure. He is completely unpredictable.

 

[conehead433]

The notion that any country in this region is a threat to the US is ridiculous. They all want to be rid of Israel and all we have to do is nothing. If they attack Israel, Israel has the wherewithal to wipe any of them off the face of the earth.

 

[Zebo]

No doubt about it.

Bush and his co-conspirators are already starting the same MO of lies and no proof:
<snip>
"Iran has nukes ? they really really do! Scout's honor! Cross my heart and hope to die"



Here's what he really said in the SothU speech? sound familiar?

"Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror ? pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve. We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium re-processing, and end its support for terror. And to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you."

Just a matter of time.. American corps (funny enough who are allowed to do biz there dispite IRAN being a "terrorist state") are already pulling out in droves so they don't get caught in the x-fire.

Yup if read about "just war thoery" tells you no country poses a threat to us.

The 100% positive "deterance" of total annihilation if they even thunk about launching a bio/chemical/nuclear attack against us prevents that possibility.

Remember "deterence" is exactly the phase used by cold warriors to pimp thier astronomical weapons costs to congress. I guess they forgot with Iraq, Iran et al. Or maybe thier just looking for more dough..

It would be an excellent way to bankrupt the treasury, tho. That would set the stage for an almost complete dismantling of welfare safety nets/ social security.

My guess is that the administration is hoping for a popular uprising in Iran from the young demographic that is not as inline with the Islamic leadership currently in office.

I doubt it will ever go that far but if all goes well in Iraq this will ratchet up the pressure on the current Iranian goverment to make some moderate concesions to put it more in line with Turkey for instance and alow more civil liberties.

You mean Iran will attack Iraq as a form of attacking the USA? Well sorry to break to you, they've been conducting a secret war against the USA since the invasion.

If you mean Iran will attack US soil? Well theres no chance of that happening.

Iranian bombers don't have that range, Iran does not have the submarines capable of doing that and its missles can barely hit Israel let alone USA.

I wasn't talking about U.S soil..

Iran has thousands of weapons capable of reaching Iraq/Afghanistan. If you are suggesting they don't then go dig way way back into the Iraq-Iran war.

Iran's missiles are barely capable of hitting Israel? They can hit Israel. They can do it from Iran and they have a lot of power to do it it from Lebanon.

You have never provided any solid evidence that Iran has been waging a war against the U.S in Iraq.

 

[irwincur]

Push Poll... I really doubt the libs here really understand the concept...

Lame BS. You libs are realy getting weak here.

 

[SuperTool]

Maybe bomb Iran. We don't have the forces to occupy them at the moment.
