" Well since the demise of OBL, Obama has gotten a taste for it."
but he wouldn't have the balls for it.
He'll leave it to Israel to do it for him.

But Hillary doesn't have her finger on the button so doesn't have control of the situation.
And regarding Israel, stopping Israe from retaliating against Iraq's scud's is one thing, stopping them from doing over Iran is another, especially as some other "Arab" countries wouldn't mind it happening as well but can't be seen to be supporting Israel.
Just my HO.

The Button
I was sure that it was Hillary's husband who had his finger on the button! Oh no, my mistake, it wasn't his finger it was a cigar.....

I agree.
If they wanted to bloody the nose of the Saudis, why pick to do it in the US when SA is across the water from them, a lot easier to move around etc.

Agree, but is it that simple ?
As to why the Iranian's were going to do this, is it a case of getting two birds with one stone ? Payback for the Saudi's pissing off Iran for intervening in Bahrain and secondly, doing it in the US to get at the US.
Saudi Arabia would support Israel doing the dirty work / an Israel pre emptive on Iran because of Nuclear Weapons.
The question is, how far would it escalate and could the UK stay out of it ?

Well the battle proven Typhoons are home - looks like David is pro-RAF and perhaps lining up their next diplomatic mission?

Grimweasel:
Try reading the indictment.
http://web.caller.com/2011/pdf/arbabsiar-shakuri-indictment.pdf
This guy was apparently in the US since late 70's or early 80's, attended Texas A & I university (Now part of the Texas A & M system) but did not graduate (got a degree somewhere else) was a small businessman of various successes and failures, and for one reason or another, ended up back in Iran in about 2010.
Why he'd be messing about with Mexican narco gang and cartels remains an interesting motivation, but the people who knew him in Corpus Christi, Texas, suggest one very simple motivation: money. You can read comments on him at the web site for the Corpus Christi Caller Times. (www.caller.com)
His connections in Iran?
Maybe some of those folks had other motivations.
I noticed that on the Skynews web page a bunch of idiots assert that this is a "false flag" by the CIA. Also see comments like "US has been itching to invade Iran."
Actually, no. It appears that stupidity in the UK is as common as pints in a pub.

Any Westerner in Iran should get the hell out, pronto. The Iranians will be looking to arrest anyone they can use as a bargaining chip in advance of any reprisals by the West.

Funny how US knew in June yet did nothing until their agents sorry "Hikers" were released by Iran for breaching Iranian border.

Suspicion breeds confidence
Great opportunity to shoot the cr@p out of their off shore oil installations as a reprisal. 300 rounds of HE on Kharg Island would have the desired effect. It might even coax their mickey mouse airforce up for destruction. A T23 and a T45 should do the job very nicely.

racedo: you might want to read the indictment as well.
This was an FBI case being developed.
The hiker issue wasn't an FBI case ... it is not beyond possible that the usual stove pipes were in action.
I suspect no small amount of interagency friction in this matter, having nothing to do with the idiots who went hiking one fine day ... but I can see how the State Department folks would want to clean that matter up ahead of any confrontation, if the interagency communication was any good.
I tend to bet the under, on that.

Of course, this can't possibly have anything to do with the fact that Holder is under investigation.
Politicians and political appointees never, ever try to deflect criticism by drumming up a new scare ......

As much as it would be interesing, I think the US would need to have a few ducks lined up before opening up on them. Too many assets in the Gulf easily hit in retaliation.
