>>We do it all racking up DEBT and Iran probably has a budget surplus.<<

US credit card debt is now soaring as rising house prices can no longer be tapped as a source of funds by US consumers. The US is likely in a recession already. But the President doesn't want Americans to know that till after the November elections.

President Bush faces no good choices here, his own chosen policy has deprived him of all of them. But he does have one last choice in hand and that is to attack IRAN in a desperate escalation. It would have to be an air campaign with air strikes and cruise missiles. President Bush has no strategic ground reserves.

But the Iranians are fully prepared. And they have never forgotten that the US launched Saddam Hussein against them in an eight-year war in the early 1980s.
