There will be NO attack on Iran before the Nov elections. If you understand politics and history you would see this. Bush does not want to hurt McCain's election.

They have some machine gun type weapon, the has multiple barrels and can fire 1,000,000, yes one million, metallic shards a minute. Some third party weapons manufacturer developed it to sell the the military. They said no thanks, and stole his idea, adding to it a computer systems that tracks objects, predicts their trajectories, and then launches these shards in the targets path. The Military called it something else, so the original developer could not sue them.
Isn't it fantastic how resourceful our military is?
The Metal Storm technology has been offered to just about every military and paramilitary organization on the planet, and so far, nobody has bought it, and certainly hasn't bothered stealing it. To be blunt, Metal Storm is very much a solution looking for a problem, and bringing problems of its own.
