Will the USA invade Iraq" was Re: [Marxism] Blair suspects Iran role in Iraq attacks

[<g.maclennan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

fortune telling is not my thing though with the usual human
hubirs I do try it regularly.  On balance I think that yes
they want to attack Iran but they cannot possibly invade or
at least not occupy.  That is surely the lesson of Iraq war.
I am with Mac on this.

However I do think that Seymour Hersch's prediction of all
out bombing of Iran will prove accurate.

What will be the effect on their Shiite allies in Iraq?  With
Iran's connivance America have set up a Shiite republic in
waiting there.  How will the allies of Iran who form the Iraq
government take an all our bombing of Iran?  I doubt if even
the Ayatollah al-Sistani could sell that to the faithful.

But Ian you may prove correct - they may bomb and send in
troops.  If they do so it will make  the Iraq disaster look
like a picnic.

regards

Gary
