Let's assume the up-coming negotiations over Iran's nuclear energy program totally breaks down and nothing is agreed to and everybody goes home angry and fed up. Or, as they say in Texas, "All bets are off."
And so Condi and Rummy are given orders by Cheney to get the ball rolling on Operation Iran Secularization.
Accusations that Iran is behind attacks against Americans in Iraq escalate, but this time backed up with "solid evidence": such as photographs, capture of "spies", video confessions, and communication intercepts.
A Murdoch owned newspaper reports that a platoon of American GI's taking it easy in peaceful northern Iraq, are captured and being held by Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Iran denies it. Kurds suspect Israeli agents are behind the deception.
A daring rescue mission by the Marines manages to bring back one of the platoon members. He gives graphic information about the inhumane torture he had endured over the past 48 hours, including having one of his eyes gauged out.
The next day an "Iranian" pilot defects and lands in Baghdad, and it turns out the pilot is accompanied by a high ranking Revolutionary Guard general, and when surrounded by reporters and American Marines, the general declares: "Iran has purchased four nuclear warheads from the Ukraine. And they are fitting them onto their missiles."
Headlines the next day on all Murdoch newspapers: "Another Holocaust!", followed the next day with: "Israel and D.C. to be nuked by Iran!"
While the war drums start to beat louder and louder a report comes in that an Iranian missile has just sunk an unarmed merchant ship in the Persian Gulf and all hands on board are reported to have gone down with the vessel. News leaks that it was a hospital ship, and two hundred female nurses and thirty doctors were among the drowned.
Standing amidst grieving family members waiting to receive the flag draped coffins of their loved ones Bush declares Iran's sinking of the hospital ship an act of war and orders an immediate attack on Iran's naval forces in the Persian Gulf.
Iran denies sinking the ship and provides proof in the form of radar reports showing that Iran had not fired any missile or torpedo. The denial is drowned out as corporate media goes into full scale war frenzy. Ignored by the media is evidence that an Israeli submarine was seen in the vicinity.
America launches an attack on all Iranian naval targets and within 72 hours sinks the entire Iranian navy, and half of the missile batteries hidden along the Iranian coastline. During the next 48 hours Iran's entire air force is destroyed and the following 48 hours all Revolutionary Guard buildings, barracks, and factories get leveled.
Bush declares the entire Iranian airspace a no fly zone. All ports are blockaded. Preparations begin for occupation of Khuzestan province and control of Iran's oil and gas industry. America continues to attack anything military related in Iran but avoids oil and gas installations.
And how has Iran responded since the initial attack?
Within the first six hours Iran has cut off all oil shipments out of Iraq. Bombed and disrupted oil outflows from all pipelines heading west from the Caspian Sea, and used short range missiles to stop all oil shipments from Kuwait, plus activated sleeper mines all across the Persian Gulf and the Straights of Hormuz.
During the next 48 hours Iran succeeds in cutting American supply lines from Kuwait, shoots down three aircrafts landing or leaving Baghdad airport with shoulder fired missiles, and rains down missiles onto the Green Zone forcing it to be evacuated.
The fly in your theory is: "The Yingji-82 or YJ-82 (Chinese: ??-82, literally "Eagle Strike"; NATO reporting name: CSS-N-8 Saccade) is a Chinese anti-ship missile first unveiled in 1989 by the China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy (CHETA), also known as the Third Academy. Since the Yingji-82 missile has a small radar reflectivity and is only about five to seven meters above the sea surface when it attacks the target, and since its guidance equipment has strong anti-jamming capability, target ships have a very low success rate in intercepting the missile. The hit probability of the Yingji-82 is estimated to be as high as 98 percent. The Yingji-82 can be launched from airplanes, surface ships, submarines and land-based vehicles, and has been considered along with the US Harpoon missile as among the best anti-ship missiles of its generation." Iran has a reported 60 of these missiles, plus, and unknown number of Russian-made 3M-82 Moskit anti-ship cruise missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-22 Sunburn), a weapon that can destroy any US warship (even Aircraft carriers) for which the US Navy currently has no defense.
Therefore, I predict a US Naval defeat in the Straights of Hormuz.
If Iranian Air Force Commanders send all of their Air Force to bomb the Green Zone in Iraq, rather than dog fighting US invaders, thus destroying the US Command in Iraq and killing up to 50,000 US soldiers.
And finally, Iran and Syria can destroy Israel with a single attack, if they decide they have no way to survive anyway (mutual assured destruction). Also you must factor in the alliance with North Korea, who could unload on South Korea, destroying the US 8th Army, and half of Japan, if Bush attacks Iran.
Now China and Russia are involved.
Iran has many options other than a frontal defense of this invasion.
It could be our collective end, if Bush attacks them.

Something else that should be mentioned: the two Nimitz-class battle groups being sent to the Straights of Hormuz for this blitz are the most advanced on earth, but they're not enough (conventional firepower) to conduct all out war with Iran, Iraq, and Syria, at once; or to destroy those countries before they can counter attack other targets. In other words, the US Navy of about 6 war ships times two (12 total), will be sitting ducks in the Straights of Hormuz to 60 plus Iranian anti-ship missiles, with no self defense, and no other choice but to go nuclear on Iran and Syria, in order to defend the fleet.
George Bush is creating World War III by design.
This can and will go nuclear, in my opinion, cause North Korea and China to get involved, the first day of the attack. Russia, will then get involved after the first X million people are needlessly vaporized. The potential for this to escalate out of control within the first 48 hours is nothing short of absolute. Bush has no fear or respect for thousands of nukes aimed at our cities.
Therefore, it is premeditated mass murder, by Bush/Cheney.
Millions of citizens must lay siege to Washington DC until the election.
We must move NOW to save ourselves and the planet.

Finally someone who gets it. The only way to save the earth. Camp it out. Peacefully prevent anything from happening in the white house. This is the only way to get the attention from the sleeping masses.
Don't be intimidated by all the torture stories and FEMA concentrationcamps they already prepared for the event. Make sure the police and military is in the revolution as well!

Nobody will now anything about all this until it is all over.
The mainstream media will only report what they believe is in the best interests of their corporate bosses.
At the appropriate moment they will turn off the root DNS tables and you won't be able to find opednews.com if you don't know 70.103.140.133, which most people won't.
They control 99.5% of all print and broadcast media -- they will want to control or neutalize the one place where they don't control the flow of information: The Internet.
Be ready!
Know the IP addresses of all your news sites. Just use http://www.dnsstuff.com/ to find them and then write them some place safe.
...and feel that the trap is being laid by sailing the Eisenhower fleet into the target hairs of Iran and then triggering a response.
Iran has confirmed SunBurn and S300 weapon systems, before anyone thinks about America or Israel doing this or that they really should investigate what the SunBurn missile is all about.
It is a strategic equaliser and ONE SunBurn is capable of blowing the Eisenhower literally out of the water with a conventional warhead. The SunBurn is also nuclear capable so we will find out if Iran has or has not nuclear weapons fairly soon.
And lets think also what else Russia and China have been giving Iran, it was reported recently in MosNews that Iran now has radar and anti-aircraft systems that can bring down the "untouchables" eg the Stealths and the B-52's and it seems the ability to watch the stealth bombers is somewhat confirmed by Russia who quite often will track these craft using their own versions of these digital radar systems.
It will be anyones guess how this goes now, if Israel strikes Iran, Iran and Syria will strike back, if America strikes Iran then Iran and Syria again will strike Israel and US/UK troops in Iraq.
And then the oil embargoes and blockades start and Iran asks China and Russia for protection and that is the point Bush will have lost and America may be facing its own destructive turmoils at this point.
What we are seeing is Putins revenge in some part, he is now abandoning WTO aspirations, he has been advised that America is pinned down in Iraq and Afghanistan, that a protracted war in those two nations is sucking the life out of the US, that America cannot afford to enter into an arms race and that any ground offensive or air offensive in Iran will possibly spell the death knell for US dominance on this planet.
We have to remember that Putin has been very badly treated by Bush this year, tricked and lied to and now as reported in the Russian media, Putin is not playing games anymore.
We also have to remember that Russia is 100% solvent, with cash sloshing in the coffers whilst America is only buoyed up by nations willing to hold its crippling debts, Bush is writing cheques he cannot honour and an arms race for the US is unthinkable at the moment and probably now for the next two decades, Iraq has failed in giving Bush what he so clearly needed and that was oil, Iraq is to Bush as what Russia was to Hitler, both coveted anothers oil, and like Hitler, Bush has failed to pump anything tangible from Iraq.
Now a sensible US president would in fact realise the dangers now, listen to the people in the job, not his pocket and stop, pull America back from the brink but this is Bush, he is utterly hellbent on his own way and in that means he is also going to take the US and possibly the world down the same road of damnation that walks.
For those who would care to reflect upon the world, long before the current Fiend was appointed to office, our nuclear war fighting elite had already done us wrong, fatally wrong.
We all sit on a land mass that is only 30 minutes away from nuclear destruction. Vast numbers of nuclear tipped missiles are poised to strike and destroy all of us. These missiles await delivery of our destruction and only a nudge may set them off due to them being placed on a "Hair Trigger."
War itself is aimed at ones own domestic population and these nukes from the beginning have had our name on them.
Queeny and her Sheenies are pressing the nuclear throttle to the floor and still they have not been able to get a nuclear triggering device flying upon another nuclear armed land.
Our nuclear war fighting criminal elite know exactly what is going on, and they feel that the only Salvation for them and their genocidal plans, is to kill us all before we can figure it out.
They know that once you figure out that they intend to sit in the comfort of the underground while we are all put to the nuclear torch, you ain't going to like it very much.
Their Elite status is coming to an end.
They decided over a half century ago that a just system would not ever happen while they had control of the human race. They decided the only way to prevent the placement of a just system of existence was through the use of nuclear weapons, to exterminate the mass of the human race.
Our nuclear war fighting Elite when given the chance to set about a path to create a just social order decided that they would rather "Fight than switch."
Now they are in the fight against the real enemy of their Predator class; the American people and the ordinary people of this planet.
The only way that the Americans can be defeated by the amalgamation comprised of the International criminal classes that operate under the control of the Royal Cannibals in London and their genocidal Zionist partners, is by stopping the mass of Americans in the liberation of America.
The only way the people can be stopped from ending this enemy regime is though the use of nuclear weapons against us.
For our nuclear war fighting criminal elite; "Nuclear War is Salvation."
If the Extraterrestrial intervention into our world continues and the Higher level powers continue to prevent the launch of a nuclear trigger device, we may survive.
The nuclear war fighting class will not.
Life is all about choices, and the choice our nuclear war fighting elite made in 1947, to exterminate humanity with nuclear weapons, was a bad choice.
