Did The United States Just Set A March Deadline For War With Iran?

Final Countdown -- Foreign Policy

Did the United States just set a March deadline for war with Iran?

If you have followed the covert and diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon over the past five years, you know that new or noteworthy movements from Tehran, Tel Aviv, or Washington are few and far between. Iran makes fantastic claims about advances in its civilian nuclear program, many of which are subsequently confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); Israel threatens to attack Iran in a thinly veiled effort to impel the P5+1 negotiating group (China, Russia, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany) to increase economic and diplomatic sanctions; and American officials repeatedly pledge to prevent a nuclear Iran, while the U.S. military gradually strengthens its capabilities in theater and deepens its cooperation with Gulf states in order to contain Iran.

My Comment: I see very little U.S. military movement in the next few months that will give substance to claims that the U.S. is preparing for war. Put 3-4 carrier groups in the Arabian Sea, B-2 bombers at Diego Garcia, and heightened defenses and security at U.S. installations in and around the Persian Gulf .... backed with a number of squadrons from the U.S. .... coupled with real sanctions, hurried diplomatic conferences, speeches at the UN and Congress, continuous media coverage and White House warnings .... and that is when I will know that the U.S. is serious about war. But for the moment .... all that I am seeing is a US diplomat and his boss 'talking tough'.
