I'd love to be proved wrong.

2. As soon as the new tactical nuclear weapons come on-line.
They are nearly ready for test shots, and Iran will be the Hiroshima of the New World Order.

6. October 5, 2005
Can't do it in the spring (too obvious), can't do it in the summer (vacationing in Crawford), can't do it in November or December (holidays at Camp David). I'm betting October. The Boy Scouts should start getting nervous now that the guard supply has petered out. They'll go before Jenna and Barbara.

10. Two dads in our Scout troop just came back from Iraq.
When one of our Scouts mentioned he wanted to enlist (High School Senior) you should have heard their response. The young man shelved that idea.

8. I don't think the world will stand still for this
If these idiots are intent on going ahead with the pnac agenda, we will be an even bigger pariah than we are. There might be actual consequences this time.

9. barring a surprise "terrorist attack"
I don't think it will happen.

Unless Iran captures US special forces within its borders, or strikes first.

12. As soon as Israel refuses to do the dirty work for them. If it does.
Look for "surgical airstrikes" rather than an invasion. The neo-cons are undoubtedly painting a rosy picture of joyous Iranians overthrowing the government and waiting eagerly for the arrival of their "liberators". Just like in Iraq.

13. Not gonna happen.

Bush will have to go through China, to get to Iran and he will never do that. Bush is a punk, a bully, and a blowhard, marketed like a soft drink to make everyone think he is tougher than he is. Nothing more.

17. I heard on a talk show last night
To look for an attack on the nuclear sights within 90 days, if not sooner. Now, I'm not sure how credible the source was, I can't remember his name. Only that he is going to announce his candidacy for Pres (Repub) for 2008. I do know he was addressed as Dr. Of course, he also said that Iraq's WMDs were moved to Syria. Well, if we knew that and watched them cross the line, why didn't we attack then?
