Poll question: Do you think the US will launch an attack on Iran in the near future?
The Russians indicate their intelligence predicts an attack early in April, I think it is the 2nd or the 6th.

Personally, I don't think so. It would be too senseless even for Bush, in my view. So what is the purpose of our current pressure being exerted on Iran by sending multiple carrier groups to the area and carrying out aggressive naval maneuvers? It makes no real sense. It seems like the administration thinks this is a "response" to alleged Iranian involvement in Iraq. But the strategic point of this response cannot be discerned.

1. I think Bush is having enough problems within the Repug party
that he is worried that a war with Iran could cost him his job.

2. An attack would lead to immediate impeachment proceedings
I would be really shocked if it were to happen.

3. your poll is stilted, I gues intentionally.
you can only answer in the affirmative if you also believe it will happen in one short month.

doesn't leave room for if you DO think it will happen, but not necessarily on the russian timetable.

4. My first poll and you are right.
Sorry, but thanks for the feedback. I will be more careful next time. I presume you do think an attack likely, but not soon.
