ORIGINAL: WhipTheHip I am betting $30,000 that Bush will attack Iran between March 2007 and Sept. 2008. Most Americans will support this action, and it may boost Republican chances of winning the 2008 election. If Iran retaliates, chances are very strong the country will vote for a Republican even if they blame Bush. If Iran doesn't retaliate, Bush will be a hero. History will look favorably on Bush if he attacks Iran. Attacking Iran is much easier gamble than Bush's gamble to attack Afgahnistan or Iraq. Bush has no downside risk attacking Iran. With Iraq, there was fear Saddam could have nuked one of our cities. We didn't know what Saddam had. He might have had a dirty bomb, or he might have had bacterial agents. Russia lost their war with Afgahnistan. Getting a regime change in Iran will eliminate two out of three of our arch enemies. We are really at war with Iran all ready because they support terrorist groups who attack us now. It will be considered an act of genius, once we succeed. N. Korea will have no country to sell its nuclear technology, even if it wanted to do so. Even N. Korea is not stupid enough to sell nuclear technology directly to terrorists. If we attack Iran, there is really little they can do. If I am correct, I will make $300,000. If I am wrong, all I will lose is $30,000. If I had bigger balls I'd bet $200,000, because I am sure this will happen. I predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall before anyone else. I predicted something very similar to 9/11. I predicted the first war in Iraq. I bet $30,000 that we would attack Iraq in 1992. I think that was the year. I bought $30,000 in oil futures, but I didn't make anything due to a minor miscalculation. I didn't lose either. This time I have a much better strategy. WhiptheHip, with W/whom are You betting???? i have nowhere near $30,000 but would be willing to bet along with You for -- say -- $20. Will Las Vegas gives U/us odds? pinkee
