[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is war with Iran imminent?

Posted: 10/21/2004 1:34:09 PM EDT

We all know that Iran has been playing cat and mouse with UN weapons inspectors for the last year. We also know that the top moo-la has told the Iranian nuclear scientists that if they don't produce 2 nuclear weapons by January, then they are not moo-lums (this is undoubtedly code for "we're gonna kill you").

Do you think that once the election is over we will immedately have to deal with the situation in Iran?

If Bush wins, is war with Iran imminent?

If Kerry wins, would he go to war with Iran to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon?

If Kerry wins, there will undoubtedly be prolonged negotiations with Iran. Would Kerry go to war with Iran if war were to become necessary?

What your missing is that if Kerry is elected well have to have the SAT/ACT guys make up a global test to see if we should go to war. I wonder if its multiple choice, short answer, or essay?

The problem we are having is we are restricted by 100 years of what US armies can do, what police can do, and what governments legally can do. Our opponents have none of this baggage and my answer to your question we are already at war with Iran. I am sure that we are attacked by officials already INSIDE the govt of Iran supporting the terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere like Hezbollah.....

I bet if Kerry wins and we do go to war, he'll still march in anti-war rallys.

But to be realistic, Kerry won't win - no way.

After Bush wins, I believe it would take up to 2 years before and ground troops would be commited - up to a year before any airstrikes would occur. And that's if Iran flat-out snubs the U.S.

If the United Nations approves war, then Kerry would go to war, as long as noone gets hurts.

I don't think that ground troops would be necessary. I think that we could effect regieme change in Iran with an air war coupled with material and logistical support for a popular resistence.

We would have aftermath instability in Iran also and I think Iraq has to work first maybe the Iraquis will have some scores to settle in Iran....

I think Israel will deal with them before we have to,or get the ball rolling that direction.

We are still preparing for the war we want to fight, Iran is gonna be the conflict we cannot avoid, hopefully we will will invade with 100,00 Iraquis I am sure they want some payback for the 10 year stalemate....

No matter WHO wins, the Israeli's might just make the choice for us in the next few weeks.

With the (Successful) test yesterday of Iran's new missile that's able to reach Israel and the Iranians continuing efforts to enrich uranium ("For PEACEFUL purposes") I think it's a done deal (An Israeli attack).

With Israel announcing a couple of weeks ago that Iran would reach the "Point of no return" sometime in early November (Right AFTER the election in the US) I'm just waitin' to see who's airspace they blow through on their way to hit it.

Count on it if Bush get re-elected. It probably won't be for a year to 2 yr. but it will have to happen. Iran will try their damndest to develop a weapon. They said that is their aim, and to use it on Israel.

If Kerry wins, Israel will get nuked, and Kerry will still be standing around with his thumb up his ass not knowing what the hell to do.

"Old Europe" is right now trying to negotiate a Clinton type deal with Iran. They build lightwater reactors if Iran comes clean on the nuclear program.

Any bets on how it works out? (see North Korea)
