Analysis: Bush's Iran Stance Echoes Iraq

[cal04]

President Bush's tough new stance on Iran and his military buildup in the Persian Gulf recall some of the drumbeats that preceded the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

As then, the Bush administration is making allegations about Iran without providing proof.

It is suggesting Iran is sending weapons to Iraq, yet offering no evidence the supplies can be traced to Tehran. There are whispers, too, that Iranian intelligence agents were behind the recent abduction and execution of five U.S. soldiers.

''We are not responsibly in the region if we don't deal with them,'' said Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va. ''And the situation that we have right now where we continue to talk only about the military side -- again, it's half a strategy,'' he told ''Fox News Sunday.''

2. My question is....

I understand that the US Admin. told Russia that they would not attack Iran very recently actually... Would they do the opposite after having given Russia these assurances?
