Iran must be skating on the thinnest of ice if these allegations are true

Brought to you by the same people who tried to tie Al queda to Saddams regime at one point, So I'd take it with a pinch of salt and wait for more info before assuming anything.

Hmmmm That's all I'm going to say on this one. It's certainly going to raise the likelihood of armed conflict between the US and Iran a smidge, if nothing else, whether it's true or false.

Brings this old joke to mind

George W. Bush and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meet in Tehran for peace talks following recent hostilities. As they're sat down, Bush notices three buttons on the side of his chair.

He pushes the first one and a boot comes flying out of nowhere kicking him in the shins. The Iranian president falls about laughing.

He pushes the second button and a boxing glove comes flying through the air and hits him in the face. Again the Iranian president pisses himself laughing.

He pushes the third button tentatively and another boot comes flying out of nowhere and kicks him in the balls. Eyes watering, he falls to the floor while the Iranian president struggles for air as he's laughing so hard.

Bush staggers to his feet and announces that he's going to Washington - the Iranian president will be welcome to resume talks in three days.

Three days pass and the Iranian president arrives in Washington for the talks.

As he sits down in his seat he notices three buttons on the side. Eyeing them suspiciously, he presses the first one.

Nothing happens........ Bush starts giggling.

He winces as he pushes the second one. Again, nothing.... Bush starts laughing harder.

He grimaces as he pushes the third one. Once more, nothing happens..... Bush falls out of his seat laughing.

The Iranian president gets up in a huff and announces, "I'm going back to Iran."

Gasping for air, Bush replies, "what Iran?"

Why do I have this feeling, that USA is building up an opinion at home. It's seems that the government in USA, want a war with Iran.

Maybe it have to do with all this military build-up and movement i have red about and seen on youtube( I do not believe all of it)

It may simply be an attempt to wag the dog. Making Eric Holder out to be a hero distracting attention away from the operation 'Fast and Furious' debacle.

I love the USA...

Can I be skeptical without being put in the "tinfoil hat guy" category.

I need more solid proof, Iran is one of Russia and Chinas favorite new allies (anyone who hates the USA allies with folks like Iran and N korea just to tweak us) and could mean trouble.

I am so sick of war, I been to enough funerals, one of them closed casket.

If the proof is there then effing nuke them, no more men should die of religious zealout hatred. But overall it just needs to stop, leave us alone, we leave them alone

Geez I sound like a peace loving hippy...But isn't there a time where enough is enough?
