He's grasping at straws for
any excuse to invade Iran.
He's finding reasons whether
they exist or not.
Sound familiar?

No, I don;t think he will. I think that would be foolish right now. That doesn't mean that Iran isn't provoking the international community towards action though. Obviously Iran is trying to start beef with a lot of countries. If they dont stop their pursuit of nuclear weapons, the entire world will have to take action (at least major powers).

I absolutely agree it would be ludicrous
to invade Iran. Yes Iran is provoking the
international community. So too is North
Korea.
The difference between the two is
that Iran has no powerful allies, while
North Korea has at least one. Venture to
take a guess as to who it is. That's why
Iran is in the Bush administration's
cross hairs while North Korea is being
handled with care.
Our president hasn't made the wisest decisions
in the past as it pertains to waiting for the
U.N. and other international support before
jumping in head first. You see where that's
gotten us.
I only hope calmer heads prevail this time round.

There's been a lot changes recently. Bush
is becoming very impatient with the way
things aren't progressing in Iraq or Iran.
On top of that he's in a battle with the
changing of the guard in Washington. As
a man, like most us men, he has his pride
and ego to protect. He's not going down
without a fight. ‹(°¿°)›

Ok, well that is your opinion, until something actually happens, this is all just hypothetical. And I disagree with your prediction.
Who wouldn't be impatient with Iran? They are using the same stall tactics the North Koreans used when they developed their programs. THe whole world condemns this, but the UN and every other big country don't have the balls to do anything.

of course he will...it's the same situation as Iraq...originally, we went into Afghanistan due to 9/11...do you ever hear about that anymore? no, because he set his sights on Hussein and Iraq...because of the so-called threats..now he sees Iran as a threat...it's just a matter of time, and i'm sure that before he leaves office our men and women will be deployed to Iran...

Except all the other nations are trying to decide what action to take on Iran as well....

Sorry but the other nations will have nothing
to do with Iran. One reason, Russia is an ally
and is currently selling them arms. ‹(°¿°)›

I believe you're absolutely right. It is
just a matter of time before he gives the
order. That is unless we keep him in check
here at home or worse, some other nations
decide to take action against us.
I don't mean military, there's many other
ways to cripple us. ‹(°¿°)›

I hope you're right. With a loose cannon
like him though you never know.

You are right, it should be possible. It is a film that is already passed

He no longer has the confidence of the American people to launch another invasion. He doesn't have the backing in congress and this country doesn't have the soldiers left tosacrifice in another war. Should the UN or someone else invade, I am sure we will support them. But nothing more than that.
Bush is a true lame duck president and he is too busy trying to prove Iraq was not a mistake that he will have little time or gumption for anything else.

Absolutely, he's a lame duck when
it comes to decisions the congress
can make. Remember though, he still
has Executive power in war time. That's
what bothers me. Also, I'm afraid of
what could happen if he uses the power.
There already is a consortium of nations
who are ready to step in and put a halt
to what's going on already in Iraq. They
may decide to take actions (not military,
not yet) against us. It really doesn't
look good right now.
Bush is more dangerous than ever right now.
He knows he's a lame duck president and he
wants to prove otherwise at any cost.

time of war.
