Well here’s something not much covered by the lemming American media (and it’s one good reason to read non-American news sources):
According to the BBC, the US government has laid out thorough contingency plans for attacking Iran that include not just its nuclear facilities, but practically all of its military infrastructure as well. The two events that would trigger such an attack would be confirmation that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon or a large-scale attack on US troops in Iraq that is traced back (or that Bush’s government believes is traced back) to Iran.
It seems not only that we’ve stepped into a huge shitpile in Iraq from which we don’t know how to extricate ourselves, but that we’re also about to step into an even bigger one. Iran won’t take such an attack lying down, and knows where to find weary, under-protected and over-extended American soldiers to retaliate against conveniently next door.
