Toothless Poodle
Rising to the idiotic and inflammatory remarks made by that Iranian about Israel, our Glorious Leader Trust-me-Tone is reported to have said :
"When are you going to do something about this? Because you imagine a state like that, with an attitude like that, having a nuclear weapon."
Err, precisely how, you complete and utter ar$e, would you attempt to "do something"?
Presumably you realise that your Bush bum-licking adventurism has hardly gone down well with the public - and your military forces are already overstretched and facing further cuts as it is. So you can rule the military option out - you simply haven't got any soldiers left in your toy box.
If you want to play the big boy, you lightweight, you need to have something strong with which to back up your statements. The UK no longer has - and you are simply a toothless poodle.

Action on Iran
I think that Bliar will probably invade, same as he did in Iraq and with equally predictable consequences. The scenario is fairly similar, Muslim country with supplies of oil (and gas?), threatening others and may have nasty weapons and nuclear ambitions. Time for a change at the top of the regime thinks Poodle Boy!

If anything, Iran has for some time has been a greater threat to regional stability than Iraq. Interestingly its oil reserves are about 20% less than Iraq ......
It takes 2 hours to fly across Iran in a 747 and it's 90% mountains. Invade?
And while the US and UK are rattling sabres towards Iran, they will continue to supply the insurgents in Iraq to ensure that GWB and Tone are well and truly kept busy elsewhere.

Beags,
Just out of interest, have you ever tried writing to Tone? I did, with a slightly less abrasive tone than you have taken in your post, and I wondered what sort of repsonse you received.

By the way, I tend to agree with the essence of your note. However, I cannot see the US or the UK public putting up with another mis-managed military adventure, so I think Iran is safe for a while.

One thing has just occurred to me, while I realize that a repeat of the Osirak reactor mission is a non-starter, I'm sure that if the Israeli's were that concerned with Iran's threats that they would have taken suitable action already. The Mossad have almost certainly got much better 'connections' in Tehran than any of our 'intelligence' agencies
The Israelis already have a triad of response to threats including a sea lauched capability.
The Israelis will not allow history to repeat itself, and have proved this in the past if they feel threatened, to wit 1967 Six day War, Osirak raid and probably countless other unreported activities.
BEagle is right we have not the public support for this sort of dangerous adventurism and cannot take part in any case as we now lack the capability in the terms of men and resourses. Further BEagle you cast a very nasty sleight on poodles, who are at least ameanable to training in being able to keep their mouths shut and stop yapping at the wrong time.
After trust me Tone's word watch recruiting to the Forces fall even further and the PVR rate rise to unsustainable levels.

Don't delude yourselves for one minute, if Tony shouted jump your ever loyal masters would ask how high? And those of you who are left would have to pay the price. Sad but true.

I'm not sure if it's a game of join the dots, or the Crusades.
Hitler came to power on the back of social reform, then started to expand his influence.
Only difference is that he spent lots of money on expanding the forces before he sent them to war.
I think it's time somebody took the Iraq war to court, at least that might put him back in his box.
