righthand says:
"Both sides are advancing scenarios that are politically useful to them, and both sides are wrong. Despite holding out a military option, ratcheting up tensions with Iran about meddling in Iraq and Afghanistan, and deploying carrier strike-force groups in the Gulf, the president is not planning to bomb Iran. But there are several not-unrelated scenarios under which it might happen, if the neocon wing of the party led by Cheney, succeeds in reasserting itself or if there is some kind of "accidental," contrived, confrontation.

One of the reasons so many believe action is near is the well-known neocons preference. There is still a strong neocons faction within the Bush team, and their movement allies outside the administration, such as Ledeen, Bolton and Podhoretz, have openly advocated striking Iran before it can develop nuclear weapons. The neocons believe that in the end, Bush's team will indeed launch a military strike against Iran, or will nudge Israel to do so.
