The present military build-up in the Gulf would allow the US to mount an attack by the spring. But the sources said that if there was an attack, it was more likely next year, just before Mr Bush leaves office.That's insane, but not too surprising. The Bush administration probably feels like attacking Iran is their only way to still be relevant and keep doing what they want without restraints.
Right now, with a Congress run by the opposition, their leeway is quite limited, but if there were another war, a new threat to scare the American people, than they could have free rein again.
Let's just hope that whoever is in a position to stop this from happening, on both fronts, American and Iranian, do all they can to prevent it. I can't even imagine how bad things would get otherwise.
One last thing, how can Bush even think of starting another war based on his own will when he's about to leave office? He probably figures the next President will be a Democrat, so who cares if he leaves him (or her) with a pile of shit to clean up?
Aah, the hubris.
