Pentagon sees Iran with bomb in 5 years: report
Reuters - Thu Aug 31, 12:53 AM ET
WASHINGTON - The U.S. military is operating on the assumption that Tehran is five to eight years away from being able to build a nuclear bomb, The Washington Times reported in its Thursday edition. The five-year window provides the Bush administration time to decide whether to launch air strikes to cripple Tehran's atomic program, the newspaper said, citing defense sources familiar with discussions inside the Pentagon.

I see Iran flattened in 4 years...

This one is easy. As soon as Israel feels that Tehren is too close, they will strike.

The Iranians, Syrians and Lebonese know this...they aren't stupid. I'm sure they will have a trap set if Isreal attacks.

Did you see Iran's submarine missle tests the other day?

Iran probably already has a nuke. I say we give one to Toldeo, just to make it even.

the sub missle thing is freaky.

5 years is a long time for diplomacy to get the job done without the death involved in war...

He must be. Or perhaps, Iraq is prime example of the incredible pressures that the UN sanctions can have on country.

I highly suspect that the UN members can only talk each other to death.

It's tough to put sanctions on your best "customer". France, China and Russia have a lot to lose by pressuring Tehren, from what I have read.
