Could all this Isreali saber rattling just be a cover for Bush to open negotiations

with Iran?

It's curious that this is all being played out in the open. I remember the Attack on Iraq and there was no run up to war.

Just something to ponder.

1. IMHO ... no.

It´s being played out in the open to gain popularity, so that the taxpayers will think that it´s OK to have more wealth re-distributed to the top.

2. I don't think so.

I think it is an attempt to scare the US electorate into continuing the failed policies of this administration.

3. You could be right...

It's just one of those ideas that pops in my head at 3:00 AM...

4. No.

Its just ordinary right-wing idiotic chest thumping.

5. There Are Defnitely Other Games Going On Here...

On factor people here are forgetting is Iran's neighbor to the north...Russia. Remember...boooshie boy met the new Russian President last week and surely something had to be going on here. Russia has stood firm with Iran and they have a big vested interest in a lot of what's going on there. If Russia says it will stand by Iran that throws a lot of wrenches into boooshie's plans.

IMHO, a lot of the sabre rattling is to swing both Russia and China from either supporting an attack or being neutral and neither has done that so far. They also hold vetos in the UN that could also create a mess for this regime. Thus I do think there's a lot of political theater going on here while negotiations go on behind the scenes...especially involving Russia.

Remember, we heard a lot of sabre rattling about North Korea from this regime while Bejing was doing all the dirty work. The Russians want the US out of the region, not a bigger presence.

6. not a chance

this administration doesn't 'negotiate' with ANYONE, they only threaten
