I bet someone $20 we'd see US military action against Iran this year

[Flabbergasted]

I'm not a gambler but I sense this will be the year! I think its a safe bet although I think it could happen next year as well.

12. No, you wouldn't

because the US is already involved in Iran militarily. Nice try, though.

2. Here we go again!

Just read online that Richard Perle, one of the most famous Neocons, is advising that we ACT FAST against Iran and not wait until
the last minute' like we did against Iraq. Huh- we waited so long against Iraq that Saddam had nothing when we finally did act, yet we acted anyway.

Perle must be afraid of that so wants us to start a war now while there still appears to be a threat. These people are blood-thirsty chicken hawks!

3. I'd say 2007

but your prediction is reasonable.

I think the drum-banging for war will intensify this summer, and into the elections. War will be next year, when Bush really doesn't have to worry about another election again.

4. Take a LiveJournal poll here

When will an attack begin against Iran?
What nation will lead the attacks?
How will the attack be launched?
How will the Dow Jones Industrial Average close on the next trading day?

8. I'll give you $20 to take that back.

Please don't say Iran. I'm not ready for a nuclear war.

11. Local Repug told me that

there's a huge battle going on
within the administration over this.
This was in response to a question I
had regarding the seemingly mixed messages
coming out of there.

13. I heard US forces are already in Iran

it's just not an "official" military action yet.

[Telly Savalas]

14. It's a good thing Iran doesn't read DU and find such things out.

They'd probably be pretty mad.

16. It's not DU

Seymour Hersh agrees with me, as do reputable accounts and sources.
