Will USA attack Iran eventually?

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said he wants talks on his nation's nuclear programme, but only if no pre-conditions are imposed.
. . .
He said: "They tell us 'come and negotiate on Iran's nuclear issue but the condition is to stop your activities'. "We have said that we want negotiations and talks, but negotiations under just conditions." Mr Ahmadinejad also called on Western nations to stop their own nuclear enrichment programmes if they want Iran to do the same.
. . .
In an interview published on the newspaper's website late on Monday, Mr ElBaradei also warned that Iran could be only six months away from being able to enrich uranium on an industrial scale. He said it was too late for the world to deny Iran nuclear know-how and that only negotiations could curb its nuclear ambitions. But "there's a big difference between acquiring the knowledge for enrichment and developing a bomb", he was quoted as saying. Mr ElBaradei also suggested the use of military force against Iran "would be catastrophic" and urged the Security Council to look at incentives as well as sanctions to bring Tehran back to the table.

In the words of Winston Churchill - "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war."

It would seem that this doesn't apply if you happen to be G W Bush, he would far rather "war-war".
 
The Pentagon has set up a special planning group to co-ordinate possible attacks on Iran, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has reported. In the weekly New Yorker magazine, Hersh said the group would plan raids to be carried out within 24 hours of a presidential order for military action.
. . .
The Pentagon is continuing intensive planning for a possible bombing attack on Iran, a process that began last year, at the direction of the president," he wrote. The group had recently acquired a new assignment, he said, to identify targets in Iran that could be supplying or aiding militants in Iraq. Previously the focus had been on the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities and regime change, the reporter added. BBC Link

A Pentagon spokesman said he knew of no such group and denied that the US was planning war with Iran - he also said that they have contingency plans around the world.

So "No but, Yes but, No - GO AWAY!"
