1. And its the first step of attacking Iran and it really doesn't matter whether...

Iran is meddling or if they were and stopped, they will still be attacked.

[spanone]

4. yep

[Mojambo]

2. And so begins Operation: Elect John McCain. n/t

[LakeSamish706]

6. I think it's more complex than that, I think if they attack Iran then they can claim...

martial law, and that is what they wanted all along.

[Mojambo]

9. I don't think an air campaign against Iran gets them to martial law.

Unless of course there is a terrorist blowback attack here.

That might do it.

11. Somehow they have this thing figured out so that they remain as squatters. n/t

[Mojambo]

14. McCain buys into the whole program. I don't see why they would need to stay.

Plus you get a whole fresh set of poll numbers with McCain in there.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The United States is accusing Iran and Syria of trying to destabilize Iraq.

U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told the U.N. Security Council on Monday that Iranian-backed groups have launched numerous attacks on Iraqi civilians and multinational forces this year.

He cites estimates suggesting that 90 percent of foreign terrorists enter Iraq through Syria.
