Finally Our Own Group- and some thoughts on Iran

[bananas]

3. In the boy who cried wolf, the wolf eventually showed up.

When Carter was president and the Shah's government was collapsing, it was decided that Saudi Arabia would replace Iran as our military client state, and Kissinger arranged the sale of nuclear hardened airbases and a command and control system we could just plug into. That was installed during the 80s and used by poppy bush in the first gulf war.

When Clinton was president, conservatives wanted him to finish the job in Iraq, but he didn't want to. Then dubya became president and invaded Iraq.

So I've seen it twice where these things were planned many years before circumstances ripened. And the neocons made it clear that Iran would be next, so I'm not going to be surprised when they eventually follow through. And they won't be deterred by a handful of nukes.
