Subject: Attack coming or not?
HYPOCENTER    10/16/2007 1:01:26 AM
In order for us to attack, some sort of "tipping point" must be reached and, frankly, I don't see one coming any time soon. Of the prediction markets I see, nearly all believe a strike will happen ~Summer of 08' and not before.

Hoody-hoo!  We're getting closer! Maybe these resolutions will pass soon?  The rest of his comments were crap, so I didn't bother with repeating them.

Is the United States heading into a deadly confrontation with Iran? Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, the unsuccessful maverick Republican presidential candidate, warned millions of radio listeners this is now inevitable. He cited House Congressional Resolution 362, lobbied hard by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, as a "Virtual Iran War Resolution."

Since its introduction three weeks ago, and before the weeklong July 4 break, the resolution garnered 150 cosponsors. In the Senate, sister Resolution 580, introduced by Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh, was also gathering momentum.

After 11 "whereas" to build a casus belli against Iran, House 362 would require a naval blockade to "prohibit the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products, impose stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran." It also would ban "the international travel of all Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran's nuclear program."

If passed by both houses, the United States would be at war with Iran
