Hopefully either

1) Israel will strike before then;
2) the USA will strike before then; or
3) the people of Iran will rise up and overthrow the tyranny of the mullahs (my personal favorite choice)

Leaving it until March may be too late. . .

Maybe he's hoping to scare Iran into doing something that will give away where the "good stuff" is. :)

Regional War.... along with Egypt, Suadi Arabia.... Kurdistan/Turkey..... India/Pakistan?

Is there a place where we can bet on where and when a war will happen?

im wiling to bet US forces would be used in a passive role in such a strike, air cover, jamming, refueling, surveilance.

No, I just think that if that wild-eyed Iranian nut bag saying Europe should take the Jewish, then he is itching for the war now. Not March.

I share your fears. If this happens, it will have far reaching consequences. With that being said, we cant wait any longer. God Bless America.

I don't think Iran will have nukes at least for another 6 months.

"the F-15I strategic 69 Squadron, which can strike Iran and return to Israel without refuelling."

So much for all the posts, I've been reading saying that Israel would have to refuel.
