An Incident

Blogging "Iran Attack" provides several interesting articles that suggest the attack is an absolute certainty. I'm not as positive as some of them because I think we will need an incident to occur.

I know all the demonization of Iran has started which is a necessary prelude to war. What is a little scary is that some question whether Iran will fight back. They suggest that after the three to five day of "Big Mother Shock and Awe" the Iranians will beg for peace. I should mention these are the people who predicted the people greeting our forces with flowers on the streets of Iraq . But if they think Iran will fold then that makes them more anxious to attack.

But with all the hype, isn't there still a need for an incident so the president can point to it as the reason he is attacking.

Will we, I mean they, sink one of our ships? Not a big one but one like the one the Brits were captured in. Or, having already used the ship thing, ala the Tonkin Gulf, will we try something new.

If I had to guess then I would suggest that the the incident that leads up to this war will be a capture of American service men and the holding of them as hostage.

Cowboy George will strap on his six shooter and, well you know the outcome.
