Poll question: Next excuse to invade Iran?
Now that the multitude of intelligence agencies have concluded that IRAN is NOT pursuing nuclear weapons - what excuse will the bushies use next?

1. All of the above.
Especially the part about 9/11.

They'll weasel that in some how, especially if Rudy "9/11" has his way.

2. bush will say that the Iranians were responsible for 9-11
After all, one of them there A-rabs looks pretty much like another--oh wait, Iranians aren't Arabs......
Of course Bush is banking on US ignorance to not realize that.

13. it certainly would 'save' them from having to justify it beforehand
which i'm pretty sure is their plan, considering they tried their best to draw syria (and by proxy iran) into the war against lebanon last year.

The 'Iran fomenting terror in Iraq' argument.

Remember Hersch's article from several months ago?

The NIE is now concrete proof as to why they changed their rationale.

9. "Because it was the Right Thing to Do"
at least that was Tony's excuse for everything- thank goodness he's gone.

The real reason why I don't think anyone WILL invade Iran will be because Bush doesn't have the resources - military, financial or political - to do so.

11. They could arguably steal some of Israel's illegal nukes,
and then Israel could no longer threaten to wipe Iran off the map.
