I ran, he ran, you ran, they ran...

Scott Horton of Harper's make a nice case that W/Cheney will NOT bomb Iran.

(linked from the always delightful http://www.thismodernworld.com/)

The arguments presented include conservative think-tank studies regarding impact on oil prices, U.S. military reluctance to embark on such a course, shifts in Israeli analysis/policy, and suggestions of better ways to confront Iran on nukes (the N. Korea model).

The effect is a nice warm-and-fuzzy feeling that Cheney will be disappointed.

I am not convinced. I still look for bogus 'event' in early/mid October '08, used by W/Cheney to justify:
a) bombing Iran
b) 'postponing' Nov elections
