Iran is likely supporting various "insurgent" organizations. No surprise there, so what? We supported Iraq in the their war with Iran. We supported Afghanstan in their war with the Soviets. The soviets supported North Vietnam in our war with them. Etc, Etc. It is the nature of regional conflicts.
What would be utterly amazing would be if Iran wasn't supporting our enemies.
Bush doesn't have a lot of options, there isn't the manpower or assets available to counter Iran effectively, congress wouldn't let him anyway. He is currently a lame duck.
Lots of bluster, saber rattling and gunboat diplomacy are about the only options available to him. Iran, North Korea and Syria of course know this.

If you truly do not know that Iran is continually in "attack mode" against the US, you must live on the back side of the moon and never see a news broadcast....OR...you must be willingly ignorant. What's next for President Bush? He IS still the Commander-in Chief, the last time I checked.

Of course they have. Iran wants to take over the territory of Iraq, they just figure it is a continuation of the war that they were fighting against Iraq 20 years ago and they want control of the oil. Iran is also the number one terrorist nation in the world.

countries aren't the enemy in the so called "war on terror" - unprovoked terrorists against the US and our allies are the enemy
considering the amount of provocation we're committing overseas I would hardly classify them as a "terrorist nation"
Bush had wanted to invade Iraq even before his presidency officially began - the fact that he lumped Iraq in with the hunt for Osama bin Laden has no bearing on the fact that some Iranian groups are likely retaliating, for the sake of their lives and families, against U.S. military actions does not make them responsible in any stretch of the imagination for the events of 9-11
If Bush decides to invade Iran, then what's next for Bush? Removal from office, criminal indictment and prison time, if there's any sanity left in the world...

Of course not, it is another trick from Bush to have excuse to attack Iran for their oil, but Iran is much complicated than Iraq, so that will lead to a world war # 3 ... HOPE NOT!!

Yes since day one. What is next? The ball is in Iran court, they can pull back and stop the supplying of weapons or they can face the American force and run to the UN like a child runs to its mother.

Depending on who you believe, Iran is either supplying arms to insurgents or not. I don't doubt there are any number of countries in that region that contain sympathizers that might do just that. As for Bush, He can't even take care of Iraq, I don't think he is ready to expand his front.

No, they haven't. The US and Iran are working on negotiations to de-arm Iran where they can still feel safe.

Considering that we have captured several of their assassins and spies, photographed them, taken DNA samples, and then released and recaptured several of them, it is difficult to call it a rumor.
