Bush's poll numbers solution
" Bush threatens force to end Iran's nuclear threat
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
Published: 17 March 2006

The United States sent a clear message to Iran yesterday that if all attempts fail at a diplomatic solution to the current stand-off, it is prepared to use force to end Tehran's perceived nuclear threat and its role as a fomentor of international terrorism.

Offering a robust reaffirmation of the Bush administration's doctrine of pre-emptive action to deal with threats to national security, the latest four-yearly National Security Strategy published by the White House declares that the US "may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran".

just a matter of figuring out what will trigger it

-- considering the Iraq-mess, lack of WMDs and how they hyped/lied about it, I doubt if he'll get alot of backing for just booga-booga rhetoric

-- the bushies are "alluding" to Iranian involvement in Iraq, perhaps they'll find an aluminum tube or yellow cake marked with a "MADE IN IRAN" stamp on it?

two more probable scenarios:

1. Israel will bomb Iran, Iran will retailiate and then we have to go in to defend Israel

2. terror attack that will be blamed on Iran
