Iran to a head
I don't know what's true and what's not, but the noise towards Iran is ratcheting up.
We've got the US very publicly committing to a base 5 miles from the Iranian border, claims of an Iranian 240mm rocket being fired at Camp Victory, the ludicrous claims of N. Korean nuclear tech into Syria, the mysterious and uncommented on Israeli airstrike on Syria, new claims of Iranian weapons flowing to the Taleban, and a sudden and very public "leaked" discussion that Mr. Bush may now be leaning towards Cheney's "bomb Iran" position.
I don't think this necessarily presages an imminent attack, but if both sides keep adding sticks to the pile, sooner or later it's going to topple over.

Not to mention the GOP blood-and-guts presidential contenders all trying to out Dr. Strangelove each other.
From Mit Romney:
"BOSTON - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be allowed to address the U.N. General Assembly next week, but instead should be greeted "with an indictment under the Genocide Convention," Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney said Monday."
I don't think Romney believes this shit for a second. It just demonstrates the man's willingness to do and say anything he think will get him the GOP nod.
