Iran Conflict Watch

Is it the left or right that is fomenting war? Is it the Saudis, the Israelis, the Russians or the Iranians themselves? If they truly want a diplomatic situation, it may be better not to play brinkmanship. There is certainly a lot of chatter, and a lot of denial. In some ways, this feels similar to the buildup to the Iraq war, but it's missing a case being built from the WH. The WH seems to have been remarkably silent lately, and if they are going to start making a case, as they did for Iraq, however flawed, they might think about starting soon. Bush yesterday spoke of military action against Iran as "wild speculation". This doesn't sound like words from a many actively planning a military campaign -- but than again it wouldn't be the first time Bush misppoke.
