Anyone want to take bets on how many days before a strike against Iran? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm giving it a 50/50 chance that there will be a military strike on Iran within the next 7 days. Only bombing/missiles, and it could be either the US or Israel.

Reasons why, Iran claims to have enriched uranium, and they are spewing threats about destroying Israel which kind of puts their claim to a right of nuclear energy in question.

On the other hand, its clear that Iran wants to be attacked right now. So, from a strategic standpoint they may be calling Israel bluff. Usually countries don't blast rhetoric like this immediately before a military attack, and instead tried to hide what they are really doing (either D-day, or Egypt's invasion of Sinai.)

Either way, I don't think this problem is just going to go away on its own.

I dont think it will be the US - they dont have a good enough reason yet, I dont think that the public would tolerate it - even Bush can only push it so far.

I wouldnt be suprised if Israel did though - that nut job Iranian leader has made it clear that he wants Israel gone. Then of course the US, UK and the other usual suspects can go in to assist their ally.

I think that it would be during the summer, after June 1st. The US/Israel/France would probably wait at least until after the April 28th deadline.

Will Israel wait? They didn't hesitate when Iraq was building a nuclear power plant.
