Will The US Attack Iran?

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta all but said the United States would attack Iran if that nation succeeded in building a nuclear bomb. Panetta tells the CBS 60 Minutes television show, Iran having a nuke would be crossing a red line for the United States. He says the U.S. would take whatever steps are necessary to stop Iran's nuclear bomb program, including military actions. U.N. Inspectors say Iran has not yet decided to go ahead with a bomb program. Panetta says that when they do decide, the Iranians could have a weapon within a year.

If things don't soon stabilize,Pakistan will be our biggest threat.They have plenty of nuclear weapons.Sooner or later we'll have to choose which to go to war with.At this moment Pakistan appears to be at least as dangerous to the US as Iran.

How can Iran be a threat to the US 6:58? Iran doesn't have a nuke bomb and even if they did get one, how would they deliver it to our shore...Would they throw it at us or something. God, you people will fall for whatever lies the politicians tell you.

That is what Iran wants. They want the 12th Iman to come back. Google 12th Iman and it will explain it a lot better than I can.

If Obama is still in trouble in the polls he will attack Iran this summer.

7:18-You have a point.Even if Iran had a nuke they would need a way to get it here.Probably would make them more of a threat to their neighbors.
