With all the recent finger pointing and chest thumping going on, what does everyone think?
Will US use Military force with Iran within next several months? I think we will.
There wil lbe NATO support too, but as usual, 90% US/10% NATO

Yes, but as you said, it will be 90% us, 10% Nato, but it will only be us that has to use our money / weapons.  And it won't be considered a war, just an attack, just like Libya.

I'm thinking Israel will go it alone, then we'll back them up (we're bound by treaty to)

Associated Press

WASHINGTON

Tensions rising by the day, the Obama administration said Friday it is warning Iran through public and private channels against any action that threatens the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf. The Navy revealed that two U.S. ships in and near the Gulf were harassed by Iranian speedboats last week.

Spokesmen were vague on what the United States would do about Iran’s threat to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz, but military officials have been clear that the U.S. is readying for a possible naval clash.

That prospect is the latest flashpoint with Iran, and one of the most serious. Although it currently overshadows the threat of war over Iran’s disputed nuclear program, perhaps beginning with an Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear structure, both simmering crises raise the possibility of a shooting war this year.

Remember this on the news, ended up being BS. A Gulf of Tonkin incident could very well be in the works to create an excuse for war.

Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Russia
When Will the US Attack Iran?
By Vladislav Vorobyev
10 January 2012

The White House needs a new victorious war in the near future not just for the sake of demonstrating military superiority: The U.S. presidential elections are approaching and Barack Obama's ratings are not so great.

War with Iran would lead to a quick increase in the Russian budget. Is it something we should be happy about?

Were it not for the potential losses, including those among Iranians, a fight to the death between Iran and the United States, long anticipated by experts and militants, would be viewed by Russians as a gift from the heavens. This war would help Russia flourish. However, it is clear that by planning to win a war with Iran, Americans are thinking of themselves first.

Washington once again plans on playing with fire. The results of the game are very uncertain and the prospects are desperately foggy. Despite that, it looks like the White House has made a serious decision to show the world, once again, who is the boss. Two key questions arise right away: Why does America need to do this and why so soon?

Washington does not have much to choose from in terms of people they can divert the anger of the American taxpayer toward. For example, the Libyan dictator has fallen. There is almost nothing to bomb in Syria. There are still uprisings happening in the Arab world without American intrusion. And it is not politically beneficial to fight with Russia. On the other hand, China is too tough. So there are only three candidates left: North Korea, Venezuela and Iran.

The death of the North Korean dictator is unlucky for America because it will take time for the United States to get used to the new leadership. There might not even be a need for a war to deal with the North Koreans, of course, if it fits America's interests. It is also not the best time to wrap up unfinished business with Venezuela's leader Hugo Chavez. It seems he is very sick. That is why, obviously, Chavez has stopped shocking the world with his anti-American speeches. Thus, it is very unlikely for the United States to think of serious reasons to attack Venezuela.

Iran is a different story. There are more than enough reasons for America to attack Iran, so Washington does not have to try hard to find justification. Firstly, Iran has not frozen its nuclear program and makes monthly progress. Recently, International Atomic Energy Agency experts proved that Iran started to enrich uranium up to 20 percent. In other words, Iran is one step closer to obtaining all the important technologies needed to create its own nuclear weapon.

On top of that is Tehran's decision to demonstrate to the United States and the European Union its ability to hit Europe and America hard without even shooting once. During training, the Iranian navy blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a vital strait for the West. A fifth of the world's petroleum products come through this strait. If this happened for real, the world's economy would be doomed. The price of the black gold would immediately rise. Experts say one barrel would cost $200 to $250.

It looks like Iran is ready to play along with the United States. Why, then, does Washington need a new war when there are no extra dollars even for the necessary domestic expenditures? Let's not forget that even one day of military action costs the United States billions of dollars. However, instead of lowering its military expenditures (America has to cut expenses somewhere, considering its debt), the White House creates more new bases all over the world, builds numerous missile defense systems and prepares for war.

Even the always laid-back and calm Chinese have called U.S. plans for strengthening its military presence in Asia unjustified. That is what the foreign minister from Beijing claimed. And it is not as if America is only widening its military power on Asian territory. The question arises: Why? And the answer is very logical. When the time comes that the mighty American banks are no longer able to control the world (experts think this will happen in a few months), the Pentagon will step in as the savior.

It looks like the White House needs a new victorious war in the near future not just for the sake of demonstrating military superiority: The U.S. presidential elections are approaching and Barack Obama's ratings are not so great. In a war, Americans would come together to support their national leader only if they must face a very cruel and dangerous enemy...........................>>>>........................>>>>........................http://watchingamerica.com/News/136973/when-will-the-u-s-attack-iran/
