Is Britan going to start the Iran war for GW? |
|
I admit this is one I didn't see coming. I figured Israel or our own "Tonkin" event. Discuss amongst yourselves I'm going outside to dig a shelter.

2. Well the way I think it might happen is that they don't "start it", per se, but.... |
|
...the U.S. decides to tag along in the crisis and start shit using that as an excuse.

3. The Brits won't allow it |
|
I can almost guarantee that. They will hang Tony from the Bell Tower because they know that if he wasn't Bush's lapdog, this wouldn't be happening.

6. I think this has more to do with the UN sanctions proposals. |
|
The US and UK want much stiffer sanctions -- that can form the basis for a more 'legitimate' attack.
As it stands, this incident isn't enough, in itself, to form a casus belli that anyone else will accept.

today (yeah, I was getting talking points in the car) "America needs to come to the aid of our greatest ally, Britain"
Did the Brits bail or not on *'s WAR?
I do not think this was an act of WAR by Iran, they have proof that the Brits were over a mile into Iran territory...if anything, it is an act of WAR by the UK.

10. From the looks of it, Iran will start it |
|
By stupidly, and apparently purposely, handing the hawks all the PR they want.
