A June Iran war?
That is proof that Bush or * is :crazy:, for you would think he would start a war in NOVEMBER or something.

3. Where is this coming from?
The military is overstretched as it is. Is he going to try to wage it with 3,000? Iran is much stronger than Iraq ever was.

4. Scott Ritter and Jerome Corsi, don't know who else
Hopefully I would be able to :rofl: and again ask, like you, "You and what army Mr. "President?????????" " at that notion.

13. Was Ritter 100% definite about that?
I thought that he left himself some wiggle room, and had some qualifiers. I think that he knows that the timing depends upon reasonable temperatures too.

5. I Highly Doubt It
This isn't going to be a "toy war" like Iraq. Iran has three times the people and they haven't been under economic sanctions for over a decade.

We do not have the manpower plus in June our military would have to deal with fighting in the heat of summer.

The earliest an Iran War would begin is probably Feb/March 2006.

6. Not even then!
Unless they really are totally insane.

Which is a distinct possibility.

Or unless they get someone else to fight the war for them. And who would that be? Iraq? :rofl:

19. What, no election imminent???
What a waste of a good war. :eyes: by the 'pukes.


I heard somewhere that this one will be primarily airstrikes (= no need for lots of ground troops).

Doncha love being citizens of the new Reich??? We all know how well the last one turned out. :nopity: :nuke: :eyes:
