You didn't really HAVE an articulate point, there, APF -- you're strawmanning the opposition, and your attempt to be funny was pure hyperbole. Mandark never claimed that war with Iran was inevitable. He simply said that it's simply stupider to believe it is impossible, yet you tried to paint the GAF libby brigade with the "war with Iran is inevitable" slant.
Ironically, I side with your perspective: there's no way the BA could go to war with Iran, based on simple observation: there's no manpower, money, or public support for such a venture. We're simply saber-rattling. The current Republican neocon agenda is to make sure America and the Administration isn't seen as a bunch of gawd damn pussies, and whatever special interests that may tie into it are treated as a sort of lucrative but distant second fiddle.
