Google the Iraq-Iran war. Iraq invaded Iran years back. This is nothing new if you know some of the history here. No distractions needed. Iran is developing nuclear capacity they say for energy sources? The Iranian President is boasting about the world. We don't need to help him with photo ops. He is doing it all by himself. Read some Iran newspapers. Tehran Times. Sift thru the truth. He's a big mouth over there too.
Thank you.

Have you been hiding under a rock for the past ummm say… 20 - 30 years?
Iran Sponsored
Terrorist Organizations
Lebanese Hizballah
HAMAS
Palestine Islamic Jihad
Palestinian Rejectionist Groups
Mujahedin-e-Khalq
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps
Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security
Iran, the most active state sponsor of terrorism today, continues to provide direction and support to terrorist groups, including Hizballah in Lebanon. Iran continues to assassinate dissidents abroad and also provides support to other terrorist groups that oppose Israel and the Middle East peace process. Iran has not withdrawn the fatwa against the life of Salman Rushdie.

Of course it is. It did take Bush a little while to convince Iran to go along with it, but he finally convinced them.
And of course this was years ago before Bush even ran for any office but he knew someday we would and so planned for the event.
*sigh*

For those who masterminded it, Iraq is a big success: the country is divided, its infrastructure destroyed, many people killed, also many Americans killed.
No one wants to catch Bin Laden, because he is always useful as a pro-war-on-terror propaganda tool.
Iran is not a distraction, it's just next on Israeli list. Syria comes afterwards.

No, it's simply the next step in the attempt to continue to force oil to be bought and sold only with petrodollars, thus protecting the American economic base.

Of course it is, and the fascists in Washington, D.C., want to invade Iraq. They want it really, really bad because if they don't do it before Bush leaves office it will probably never happen.
