Don't forget! Iran is NOT about Uranium. It's about REGIME CHANGE!
This latest carrot offered by the Propagandist to Iran to help them with a nuclear program *if* Iran drops any attempts to enrich uranium is just a ploy. Just as the claim of stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq was a ploy to enact regime change in Iraq, so, too, is the talk of nuclear weapons re: Iran.

The stated policy of this administration is REGIME CHANGE in the Middle East where it deems states to be counter to US interests in the area. After all, what's best for the US is obviously what's best for the entire world. And, even with supporters questioning the policy and even criticizing the continued path toward "democratization" (such as from Fukuyama), this administration (probably mostly due to the DICK) is hell-bent on creating pro-US puppet states in the Middle East much like the same ideology pushed for similar action in Latin American in the 1980s.

Let's keep our eyes on the ball!

1. As usual, we won't see the true nature of their plans until AFTER...
they carry them out.

In early 2002, the 9/11 truth movement sensed that the whole al Qaeda story was bullshit, but we were groping around with "controlling the pipeline route" motivations until 2003 showed us the REAL plan.

3. And even then it will be revealed in bits and pieces by people w/regrets
or reporters brave enough to print something.

6. And the biggest reason WE missed it? We couldn't imagine they...
were THAT crazy. They shot completely outside of our conception of their limits.

7. Well, I admit I was conned before but I'll be damned if I am again.
There's a saying in Texas, maybe it's a saying in Tennessee. Fool me once, Shame on....Shame on me...You can't get fooled again ...

2. I think they are weighing the matter, of engaging Iran in war
Things are shaky for the republicans right now. I don't think they want to make it worse for themselves for the coming elections. If they could destabilize Iran from the inside, then they could hide our involvement.

4. IMHO, it's all about the rattling
of the allmighty gas-price-controlling sabre. A few empty threats and *BOOM* there goes the price of unleaded!

5. It is still about OIL
Anything the bu$h regime does in the Mid-East is about OIL or protecting Israel
