Play it again King George
There is no Iranian “defiance.” When news media report “defiance,” they purvey disinformation. The “seals” on Iranian nuclear facilities were placed there voluntarily by the Iranians while they attempted to resolve the false charges brought by the Bush administration.

Since we don’t have the troops to put “boots on the ground” in Iran, the powers that be will stage manage this situation like this:
US forces begin a series of air strikes, designed to take out Iranian nuclear power plants and “secret enrichment facilities”
Which will force the Iranians to strike back at our troops in Iraq, making a horrible situation there even worse
And in our Gulf of Tonkin moment, a missile will strike Israel, who will respond with nukes, making Teheran into a parking lot. It will be widely known that the reaction was done with the full support of the US government.
King George has already proven ignorant of, and untouched (largely) by world opinion, so the notion of nuking a country probably doesn’t faze him at all. And if the bombing escalates the situation there to a breaking point?
Mighty fine by some. See, either way the world loses, and these maniacs win.
Lets gather here in six months and see how close I got, shall we?
