#3 My suspicions are that the US and Israel have moderately-discreetly laced the whole "region of concern", that is, Israel, Saudi Arabia's oilfields, and the Persian and Arabian Gulfs with seriously advanced, multi-eschelon anti-missile capabilities. In essense, letting them have their cake but not eat it. For if they missile alert-launch, we'll first shoot it out of the air, and then we have probably "made arrangements" with the other powers to *severely* punish Iran for trying to start a nuclear war. Even France couldn't justify Iran using a nuclear weapon, and we would already have their agreement in writing. Then Iran's stuff would be weak. Ultimatum time. Either they cut off every mullah's turbaned head, or their entire nation is sterilized. Their choice. They have 24 hours to comply. Please put the heads in a nice, neat row with their faces pointing skyward for the satellites.

#4 This looks like the Vietnam strategy of escalation. First Jacques looses the EU constitution vote, we know for sure who is in charge in the UK, then Schroeder is out of office in Germany, Kofi is clearly indictable in the OFF scandle or absconded to Venezuela, and a vote in the summer of 2006 will make the Dhimmis put up or shut up for the fall elections as was done in 2002. Who are the Mullah's friends then, if they're still in power? Pooty who? Wu who? Woo hoo hoo hoo.

I love it when a plan comes together.

#7 TW, If that's the one where you hold your friends close and your enemies so close they can't breath, I think so.
