Iran Saber Rattling…


All this talk about striking Iran is just that, talk.

I have several different takes on this issue.

One of the main reasons for this tough talk is to provoke Iran into making its own tough comments and then have the press run their comments in the press as if they have not been threatened and made those comments for no reason.

Second they are leaking specific information in hopes of catching people inside the government who leak information to people like Seymour Hirsch.

Third stirring up talk about Iran takes away from the real issues of the day.

Fourth W and the GOP can waive the flag and country singers can write songs.

1. For some reason, the Bush administration is afraid to attack
Iran. It would be nice to believe that they are too smart to do a dumb thing like that. However, since I know that isn't the case. It must be some other reason.
