Next Stop: Iran

The tension in the air is almost palpable. Dick Cheney announced on Saturday that all options are on the table. Last week more Iranian manufactured weapons were found in Iraq, and to top it off, Israel is seeking clearance for airstikes on Iran, specifically, they want permission to overfly Amercian contolled airspace over Iraq. Finally, and perhaps most disturbingly, Sy Hersh reports that Cheney's office is running covert operations in Iran, possibly using money laundered in Iraq, to support Sunni minorities in Iran. If true, this would be perhaps the most damning, most hypocritical action undertaken by this administration thus far, and that is saying alot.

Ok, I think we all need to stop and take a deep breath. It seems like we are on a crash course with Iran. The most likely scenario in my view is that America grants Israel its wish and provides some cover for an Israeli airstike. Iran retaliates, or America fabricates an Iranian response against the fleets on the Indian Ocean side of the Strait of Hormuz, and BOOM, the U.S. unleashes it's Iran attack plan.

I'm still wondering what the administration hopes to gain with it's reckless behavior.

Mark my words, an attack on Iran will have only negative results, similiar to the Israeli attack on Lebanon, but on a grand scale.
