I really don't think they have the wherewithal to pull that old wool over our eyes again. That doesn't mean we don't have to be vigilant about it, it just means there are now ENOUGH people being vigilant.
I don't disagree. That was the point I was sort of making in my first post saying that all the Trump cards had been used up.

That said, nothing surprises me anymore.


Besides, I don't think Iran is on the agenda. They are not the weak paper tiger that was Iraq. Additionally, Iran doesn't have nearly the untapped oil resources that Iraq does.
