President Bush is caught in a quagmire, unfortunately. An attack on Iran would require a monumental "what if" plan. What if Iran rockets Israel, or coalition troops in Iraq, or worse. They do have the capability. The quagmire is this:

Assembling the fighting force to prevent a disaster would require a massive build-up in the region, something that the U.S. cannot do without tripping the caution light to the Iranians.

Put simply, a narrow attack on Iranian installations could result in a catastrophe without enough contengencies in place. Such contengencies would be obvious to the media hounds, thus tipping off the Iranians. Bottom line, we haven't seen such a build-up yet. Thus I don't see it happening.
