WAR: Rumsfeld has proposed no exit stategy for Iraq

Not to get off topic but there is no way, absolutely no way that the USA will even attempt to invade Iran in the next 20 years unless they invade other country.

We have much larger problems to worry about like the possiblity of an Israel Civil War in the upcoming months.

Aren't these possibly linked though? Especially with Sharon's warning he just gave about Iran getting close to the "point of no return". What would happen if Israel took out an Iranian Nuclear facility, claiming to do so in it's own defense, and then Iran attacked Israel? Would we be able to stay out of it? Probably not. Would it be convinient that we just hapen to have all of these new bases in Iraq? Absolutely.
This is conjecture, but I think interesting path of thought, none the less.

Sharon is just giving these false warnings to urge the US to invade Iran for the benefit of Israel. We have no interest in Iran. It's simply not going to happen.

Israel provoked war. They shouldn't expect us to back them. There would be large pressure for the US to join in the war but in the end, we will stay out of it and let Israel fall under it's own actions. Israel needs to worry about Palestine before they can divert their attention to Iran.
