I doubt that the US will attack Iran knowing that Russia and China are both against this.
Does the US really want a war with these two super powers?
I think not, maybe though.

Oh and this warhead was blown up in 1961.... What do you think they have on the tips of those missiles now.

**I totally agree.We are not in a position for another conflict of any nature.I also dont think Iran's weapons wont be deployable for some time yet.Im sure the Israelis think differently though.I also cant believe that we would commit ground troops.The people would freak and Obama would kill any re-election hope he has.

Perhaps December 21st has a different meaning than we all thought.
It's scary. I always said that it'd be cool to live through something like this. But I don't think many of us, wherever we are, will live through anything.

All the build up to the Iranian conflict reminds me of that boardgame RISK where you get to move your little armies all over the board build them up around a certain country you want to take over essentially surround them so they have to fight you eventually then when you have a sufficient troop build up then you roll the dice and move in and crush them OH hang on am I describing current world affairs or a childrens boardgame I really really hope the powers that be know what they are doing to us (I never could hold on to Asia but I was quite good at that game)
The barrage of news concerning preparations for an attack on Iran came as a result of leaks made by disgruntled former Israeli intelligence chiefs who are trying to prevent the attack and remove Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office, according to reports. The Kuwaiti al-Jarida newspaper reports today that Netanyahu has ordered Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen to conduct an urgent investigation into the leaks, fearful that the blaze of publicity surrounding plans for a military assault could derail the agenda to target Iranian nuclear facilities. “According to the report, former Mossad chief Meir Dagan and former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin are those responsible for leaking information to the media regarding an attack on Iran,” reports Haaretz.com.

I thought the US going to war with Iraq was going to be the mother of all wars???
Are there two mothers now???

Seems like the U.S. is pushing for war lately. Especially with the whole "assassination" attempt that involved Iran on the ambassador. Look how fast that breaking news fell off and haven't heard about it in awhile. Guess we'll see whats next. Another attempt to set up Iran into going to war, provoking them or just giving the U.S. a reason to start it. Guess we'll see soon enough.

This makes me feel deeply sick. I believe mankind is the only specie in the entire creation that actually fights with itself. WTF.
No respect for anything or anyone, no empathy, no kindness, no love, disconnected from itself and the Higher Power, shattered into 7 billion pieces.... yeah, we deserve to destroy ourselves.
Beam me up, Scotty, there is no intelligent life down here.
Sadly.
