US officials believe Iran sanctions will fail, making military action likely

Officials in key parts of the Obama administration are increasingly convinced that sanctions will not deter Tehran from pursuing its nuclear programme, and believe that the US will be left with no option but to launch an attack on Iran or watch Israel do so.

The president has made clear in public, and in private to Israel, that he is determined to give sufficient time for recent measures, such as the financial blockade and the looming European oil embargo, to bite deeper into Iran's already battered economy before retreating from its principal strategy to pressure Tehran.

I am still trying to imagine what a military attack on Iran might look like. To invade Iraq, a nation of 22 million people, the US first had to use the UN to apply economic blockade for 12 year during which time the US bombed Iraq on daily basis under a No flight zones resolution imposed on the country until its economy and infrastructure was crippled.

Against Iran, a nation of 70 million people, the economic blockade has not succeeded, Asians and Europeans continue to buy Iranian oil. Iran also advances technologically in the military and space fields. Despite facing technological blockade, its scientist are rated amongst the best in the world.

Unlike crippled Iraq, which took the US 20 years to destroy and invade, Iran is a vibrant nation, armed to their teeth, with one of the most disciplined military forces in the planet.

It is difficult to believe that the US can attack Iran without impacting its own economy and that of the west. The war against a crippled nation like Iraq cost the US over a trillion dollars and still could not manage to install a puppet regime, on the contrary, the current Iraqi government is anti-American. Knowing the huge difficulties the US faced in Iraq, it is mental masturbation to think that Israel can attack Iran and continue to exist. Israel will not exist after attacking Iran. The Jews know it. Of course nothing has damaged the reputation of the Jews more than the existence of Israel that it is natural to think that Israel would attack Iran only if the Jews decided to shutdown the Zionist project for good.

One more war and we sink deeper in hole created by the wars.

What I find outrageous is this idea that the US government has to satisfy Israel first and then if there is time the American people.

He isn't saying it for the benefit of Iran. He's saying it, over and over, to wear down any possible resistance among the American people, who heard the same phoney baloney about WMD in Iraq, fell for it, then kicked themselves and swore that they would never be played for suckers again. And yet, it's happening.

Actually, he has attacked Pakistan on a pretty regular basis, despite the fact that they're supposed to be an ally. However, the Brits want a big war this time, which means Russia and China. The Cold War has already been fully revived; you can see it even here on GNI. One false move, and the Cold War becomes "hot."
