US steps up pressure on defiant Iran

Blah blah blah. Anyone else out there think this is not going end without the sharp whistle of an incoming rocket?

Senior Republican and Democrat members of Congress have urged swift action against Iran, including UN-mandated economic sanctions, as the sense of crisis over Iran's decision to resume uranium enrichment escalated in Washington.

Israel is going to bomb Iran. Watch.

Republican Senator John McCain, a leading candidate for the party's presidential nomination in 2008, said Iran's decision to restart research into enriching uranium, a major step on the road to developing nuclear weapons, was "the most grave situation we have faced" since the end of the Cold War.

Well, the cold war involved nukes being pointed at us. This is a little different. This is going to end soon. I have one of those gut feelings that pretty soon there's going to be some extra holes in Iranian soil. Can't say Iran wasn't warned enough. This is like that snot-nosed punk kid at the playground taunting everybody and pretty much asking for an ass kicking.

Asked whether the US should consider military action against Iran, Senator McCain said it should not be ruled out, though he said that any military action could have grave consequences.

Grave consequences...no pun intended.

I guess we'll have to sit back and wait for the fireworks. They'll be along soon enough.
