He wouldn't. His approval rating is already at an all-time low. If the Democrats controlled anything they'd be calling for an impeachment.

Yeah, the last thing Tony wants is another war. He'll want to finish his term on a positive note. I would have thought Bush would aswell. Maybe he'll leave Iran for the next republican president?

Key thing is weather or not Iran can get nuclear weapons soon enough. The US never attacks a country they believe have WMD.

It took 12 years and countless UN sanctions and resolutions being tried and broken before we attacked Iraq. Saddam had them firing on our planes protecting the no fly zone on a daily basis.
I am not saying that we would never attack Iran under any circumstances, but it really isn't in the realm of possibility right now. People have been screaming that Iran is next for over a year now, and we really aren't making any moves in that direction.
I think that the administration is more likely going to be content to set the seeds of liberty and democracy and see how it can spread and grow by itself.

It took 12 years and countless UN sanctions and resolutions being tried and broken before we attacked Iraq.
And the USA broke a prime directive of the UN Charter in attacking Iraq, which was a far worse violation.

You might find this interesting. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=16939_High_Explosives_Shipped_in_from_Iran#comments
Quote:
PENTAGON - It?s the number one killer of American troops in Iraq: roadside bombs. The massive roadside bomb that killed 14 Marines Wednesday flipped their 37-ton vehicle on its top and blew it some 40 feet down the road.
Tonight, there?s disturbing information that some of the most sophisticated of these deadly weapons are reportedly coming from Iran.
U.S. military and intelligence officials tell NBC News that American soldiers intercepted a large shipment of high explosives, smuggled into northeastern Iraq from Iran only last week.
The officials say the shipment contained dozens of ?shaped charges? manufactured recently. Shaped charges are especially lethal because they?re designed to concentrate and direct a more powerful blast into a small area.
?They?ll go right through a very heavily armored vehicle like an M1-A1 tank from one side right out the other side,? says retired U.S. Army General Barry McCaffrey.
Military officials say there?s only one use for shaped charges ? to kill American forces ? and insurgents started using them in Iraq with deadly effectiveness three months ago.
Intelligence officials believe the high-explosives were shipped into Iraq by the Iranian Revolutionary guard or the terrorist group Hezbollah, but are convinced it could not have happened without the full consent of the Iranian government.
They might just keep handing us excuses until we have enough to blow them to bits too.

Iraq
Iraq didn't have WMD. That's one of the reasons they were so keen to attack it.

That doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, first of all. Kosovo?
Sure, the US has troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, but I would be interested to hear a theory how the US forces would be able to execute any sort of targeted strike or general invasion on Iran. That's nuts.
The EU players don't want Iran going nuclear. Iranians that think clearly don't want this regime to go nuclear.
Quite frankly, the US doesn't have the money or troops to do anything like get aggressive with Iran (maybe border skirmishes, fine, but Iran is already causing US troops enough headaches in Iraq).

If they thought Iraq had WMD they could have given Blix a few more months to find them and then gone to war with full UN backing. They realised Blix was rapidly going to prove there was nothing there so went to war first.
As Blix said about the "intelligence" tip-offs the US gave him "I thought - my God, if this is the best intelligence they have and we find nothing, what about the rest?"

I agree. And not make any public comments about the invasion until after the US has full control of the country. That'll really stump them for a few days.
