Despite holding out a military option, ratcheting up tensions with Iran about meddling in Iraq and Afghanistan, and deploying carrier strike-force groups in the Persian Gulf, the president is not planning to bomb Iran. But there are several not-unrelated scenarios under which it might happen, if the neocon wing of the party, led by Vice President Cheney, succeeds in reasserting itself, or if there is some kind of "accidental," perhaps contrived, confrontation.
In other words, brace yourself, Margaret.
The president supposedly wasn't "planning to bomb Iraq" either. And then, "Lucky me! I hit the trifecta."
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
