Dan. You nearly had me convinced that your statement "The assumption that Iran is 5 years away is political nonsense" was true. However I just saw the headline in a sunday paper: "Iran is truly a problem says Cheney" or something to that effect. Now, we can asssume that Cheney is lying even when he says he is lying. Therefore we know this headline is not the truth. Once again we merely have the US kleptocracy using the tactics used for Iraq, WMD and links with terroroism, ie. the target is Iranian oil.

But, once again, we have US citizens being sucked in.
