Blow up the nuke plants now. Then threaten the oil fields. While making that threat, take out all their air and naval stations.

That should shut them up for about 20 years.

I keep reading how we don't have the ability to truly invade and conquer Iran. I hope that's not true. IMHO we should be debating taking out the Syrian and Iranian regimes. The Middle East will not really have a front line antagonist after that. Is this a war we're in or a UN parlor game already? If it's a war, let's take out the enemies.

Very serious. I'd almost say this is a warning.

The United States has always had contingency plans for almost every eventuality. However, we have chosen NOW to go public with the existence of contingency plans for a coup in Saudi Arabia. Why now?

The following article in today's Middle East Newsline discusses this:

U.S. DISCUSSES INVASION OF SAUDI ARABIA

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has raised the prospect of a military invasion of Saudi Arabia.

The response could include the deployment of three U.S. Army divisions backed by fighter-jets and airborne early-warning and alert aircraft. In all, the U.S.-led mission could include up to 300,000 troops.

The House Armed Services Committee was briefed on the prospect of a Saudi coup and U.S. response during a hearing on Oct. 26. The scenario was outlined by Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow of the Brookings Institution, who cited a Saudi coup as one of several threats to the United States.

"How should the United States respond if a coup, presumably fundamentalist in nature, overthrows the royal family in Saudi Arabia?" O'Hanlon asked. "Such a result would raise the specter of major disruption to the oil economy."

good to see the new president is a uniter and not a divider.

"Iran is in the center of three strategic and sensitive regions -- the Middle East, Central Asia and the Caucasus ," Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said."

Why doesn't he just say what he really believes, that the Iran is the center of the world. That's the sort of grandiose insanity Islam teaches it's brain-dead adherents.

In the meantime- not to diminish the seriousness of this- IRAN has been meddling in "regional" issues for over 25 YEARS.

Wow. Those Iranistainians in power really have it in for themselves. I find it hard to believe that they don't already have a bomb. I would also hypothesize that OBL is probably a guest of the Mullocracy in Iran as well.

Yes, the Iranians must have been having some high-level secret negoiations with Putin, Harry Reid and Upchuck Schumer.

Sounds like Saddam 20 years ago when he had grand ambitions.

This is serious folks.

This is desparate rhetoric from a regime that will eventually be ousted (looking like sooner rather than later).

It becomes serious when the Iranian army starts blantantly and openly crossing borders and killing American/Israeli soldiers; and/or detonating a nuke somewhere. Until then...its a bluff. Its a bluff even more so because the Iranian regime ain't dumb...they know their country would be a glistening crater of glass if they plan on using WMD's against American soldiers or Israel proper.

BTW...I hope I'm right.

Iran has warned that it plans to intervene in the Middle East, including in the affairs of such neighbors as Afghanistan and Iraq.

And America and Israel have the answer for Iran's frogginess...

And we have a similar message for Syria, and the Halls of Evil: Mecca and Medina...time to remove the Koranimals from the face of the Earth!

Sounds to me like they are closer to having nukes than the "Intelligence" (at least some call it intelligence) believes.

"Intelligence" will say Iran has nukes once they witness the first mushroom cloud.

A LOT has been going on with Iran recently. Check this thread:

The New Threats from Iran are Serious

It makes sense to pay attention to what they do and say. It also makes sense to pay attention to what they believe, how that might impact what they do, and when.

Iranians are mostly Shiite. They have a prophecy (NOT believed by all Muslims) that says the Mahdi will be revealed in a year with a Ramadan that includes two eclipses.

It is debatable whether THIS year's Ramadan meets the necessary criteria, but it might. What is VERY clear, however, is that it will be a very long time before another Ramadan that comes this close occurs again. If the current fanatics running Iran want this prophecy to come true in their lifetimes, something has to happen very soon. Their current actions are consistent with a decision on their part to take matters into their hands.
