Hmmm. I wonder if maybe the Iranians know this and are playing a longer game.

From their point of view, a delay of a few months would be a small price to pay for a big win for the Dems in November.

If Iran is officially off the map as a target, it becomes that much harder for the NeoLoons to stage a convincing October surprise.

I don't think that an attack will fly, and I'm sure that any sort of Nuclear attack will cause an early change of government here.  The Democrats are running strong in places like Montana, Idaho, Indiana, Nevada and some places in Rural California.  The country is very uneasy, like I haven't seen it for decades.

I think we are more likely to see increasing bluster, and the further attempts to pack the judiciary, and draft as many laws as possible to salt away the billions of dollars they have stolen and try to insulate themselves from any coming investigations.

Trouble is coming to the United States, and people are seeing that the right-wing administration has brought down the standard of living in many areas.  The religious right is embittered, the classic conservatives are adrift, the neo-cons are discredited.

This is the best chance for the progressive wing of the country to make a move since 68.  The price of failure is appalling.  Please wish us well.
