The UK? Guess this means all the news reports of Israel doing it alone are not true.

If true, the headline should have read US to attack Iran.

Boy wonder about to wag the dog for reelection effort?

If the UK scrapes together enough assets to help the US finally do something about Iran, the hordes of muzzies in UK-stan will most likely go insane.

I just read somewhere else that the the U.K. defence minister quietly visited Israel recently. This might be a leak designed to confuse the Iranians. At best, I would expect logistical support (intelligence) from the U.K. and the United States for an Israeli strike. But I have a hard time believing Ubama would do that much. The U.K. more likely.

“Destroying Iran as a axis of evil and returning it to is peace loving new generation would break the back of the entire terrorists jihad.”

The jihad does not have a high fixed cost maintenance expense. So, it can’t go bankrupt and subsequently disappear; like DEC inc. or Varian inc. It is more like a cloud of evil spores. The spores lie dormant until the conditions are right. Then the spores grow.

The conditions are as right for the jihad now (with Obambi in the WH) as they’ve ever been. After January 20th 2013, it is likely the war will start going against the jihad. The jihad, and Iran, will strike as hard as they can in the intervening months.

I can’t see Obama pulling the trigger.

He loses is base.

Iran is not Libya and Iran will respond.

Iran probably finally got rid of the computer virus infecting their process controllers.

If the enrichment processes are going again the only choice left is to strike the nuke sites.

Something is lost in the translation... surely it must come out to say "...is preparing to deploy Royal Navy ships in the coming months to assist a possible U.S. attack on key Conservative Republican facilities to please the Mullahs of Iran..."

Bender, stop... calling me 'Shirley!'

Wonder what the Saudis are up to lately. They have a vested interest in this.
