Okay, but that still isn't enough evidence to show that he will actually go through with it.
I'm not advocating war with Iran, but that is an absolutely asinine statement.

I just had this image of you being played by Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon:

"okokok, guys, he hasn't...it's not he's actually done it, right? I mean suuuure his finger is on the button, right? okokok... but it's not like he's actually pushing hard on it, right? okokohshit- he pushed it. okokok guys, you were right, he was serious."

Theres obviously more cards on the table but I don't see how his statements are any different than what the Democrats were preaching in 2006. Both are blowing smoke, just that Ahmandejad's is much more dangerous to the world if they do go through with it.

I recognize the risks, but I don't see needed physical intervention. I could really care less about non-physical intervention as long as it hurts the people of Iran as little as possible.

I was talking about once they already have nuclear weapons, not when they are in the process of making them. I should have made that more clear.

piercehawkeye45, I'm going to annihilate you!

Of course I'm speaking metaphoricly... or am I?
Would you bet your life on it?
How about if I lived in your neighborhood instead of states away, would that make you consider it more carefully?
How about if I was standing at your front door with a machine gun? Wouldn't that raise your level of concern about how metaphorically I'm speaking?
