I posted this information, to make people aware, that a military
build-up will be in place by the end of the month...
Bush is goading the Iranians in every way to attack first.
The president of Iran, is in a weak position with his people, this is
true, and a war with the United States and Israel, is his stated goal;
to fulfill some kind of crazy prophesy, and to increase his leadership
by standing up to a super-power, and so on.
By the same token Bush may feel that the country would rally around him
in a crisis.
The bottom line is it's all about controlling the oil in that region.
All of the shipping lanes could possibly be blocked in the Persian
Gulf, blocking all oil from the region.
In addition all of the countries of the middle east would be pulled
into the chaos.
But, the U.S. will continue to militarily protect it's interests in the
Persian Gulf, and the weapons which are there in that area, could be
used if push comes to shove...
