Bang goes my attempt at Terminator related humour.

I'll be back.

Reckon this is another story planted to nudge the Iranians into realising how serious the USA are about military action.

I thought this was an interesting write up on the "imminent threat" that the Iranians pose...

You doubt they are trying to make a bomb?

How do your political allegiances lie? Over here Romney is represented as a bit of a fool who makes ridiculous outlandish statements, usually factually incorrect or just plain worrying.

And you would rather act only once they have a bomb?

I just have a problem getting all worked up about some "new" middle east boogie man. You have to remember that the whole "where were the WMD's in Iraq" issue is still a touchy one, at least over here in the states.

The only point I was getting at is it seems to me that every few years we need to be reminded that Iran is still over there and they're STILL trying to build the bomb and we should do something about it. As soon as the next season of American Idol starts, they'll forget...they're sheep.

I'm one of the few who has decided that both of the candidates are turds.

Thing is Iran are no invented bogeyman, they have actively fought USA/Israel since 1979 through terrorism, plus they supply the IEDS that have been used against UK troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

tbf so have usa / russia / uk

Any new country with advanced chemical / biological / nuclear weapons scares me, more so in this case when (if you believe reports) they want to destroy another people

I dont doubt it, I'm just usually suspicious when governments start beating war drums. Special operations and intelligence services can handle the job quite adequately.

CIA/Mossad/MI6 have been on it for years.
But it seems the limits of what they can do are fast approaching, and a military strike may be needed.

Not seen any calls for a mass ground war though, just for missile strikes and special forces operations.
