#2 Captain Ed notes that the Saudis have 3mbbl extra daily capacity, which exceeds the 2.5mbbl actual Iranian daily output, and apparently the Sunni Saudis mean to put the screws to the Iranians, agreeing to make up any shortfall when the Iranian output is CUT OFF...LOL

#3 Nonsense. Bush cannot make an unprovoked attack on Iran. The Iranians will not be dumb enough to oblige him.

#4 NS Iran has been actively supply munitions for the terrorists which are specifically designed to destroy even up-armored American vehicles. They've already provided the 'casus belli'.

#6 "economic impact if iran is attacked"

Impact on them (lots, if the attack is done right), or on the rest of the world (zilch, except for the leftist whine)?

#7 Where the UNO is concerned, "Casus belli" also includes making direct or overt threats of harm to another UNO member-state, which Moud + officios have done repeatedly. GOOD OR BAD, THE USA AND ONLY THE USA HAS BEEN CHARGED SINCE WW2 FOR MAKING SURE THE UNO SUCCEEDS/WORKS, THAT THE MISTAKES OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ARE NOT REPEATED. Within this specific narrow scope, ITS THE UNO THAT SHOULD OBEY THE USA, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Ditto THE USA > IS THE UNO = OWG??? Radical Iran's repeated threats agz Israel has already justified = qualified Iran for IMMEDIATE UNSC MIL ACTION. IFF RADIC IRAN IS BEHIND FATWAS, ETC. OF WAR-TERROR AGZ AMERICA, either as PRINCIPAL or CO-SPONSOR, then unilateral US mil action + "casus belli" is pre-justified/qualified as well. ISSUE > "SHOULD WE ATTACK", NOT "CAN WE" OR "ARE WE JUSTIFIED IN ATTACKING". LEFT/MSM > Amer is a BULLY IMPERIALIST FASCIST BRUTE iff we attack, we're WEAK WUSSY iff we don't - EITHER WAY, etal. "JUSTIFIES" ANTI-US NATIONAL-GLOBAL SOCIALISM + OWG. Whem Dubya's critics use the label FASCIST = FAR RIGHT ahz him and America, what they are truly saying or arguing that AMERICA IS SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH, CCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC [Robin Williams], DDDDDDDDDDDD
DDDDDDD [Deny Deny Deny ...] A SOCIALIST NATION, ONE THAT IS SEEMINGLY OR ALLEGEDLY DIVIDED/TORN BETWEEN GOVT-CENTRIC RIGHTIST SOCIALIST CONSERVATIVE [FASCIST = LIMITED COMMIE], VERSUS GOVT-CENTRIC LEFIST-SOCIALIST [FULL-TOTE COMMIE], LIMITED TOTALITARIAN vs FULL TOTALITARIAN, etc.
A Rightist = "Fascist" doesn't give a damn who reads the records, a Communist does becuz Commies are always ALways ALWAYS blameless. Righties gener admit to their decisions + actions however good or bad, Lefties don't.

#8 NS, America is always good for a short victorius war, it is just the mess of occupation or a prolonged conflict that discourages the populace, particularly when there is a continuous drumbeat by the KGB trained "journalists" of the American media. If we just bomb the hell out of them and then seal off the country to let them stew in their own juices it would be seen as a great victory.
