War? Sure, why not, we've got two already

The International Herald Tribune has an article by Carol Giacomo about what we might look forward to, given the lame duck who's in office now:

It is a frightening notion, but it is not just the Bush administration discussing, if only theoretically, the possibility of military action to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Of course, no president or would-be president ever takes the option of using the military off the table, and Barack Obama and John McCain are no exceptions.
What is significant is that inside Washington's policy circles these days - in studies, commentaries, meetings, congressional hearings and conferences - reasonable people from both parties are seriously examining the so-called military option, along with new diplomatic initiatives.
One of the most thorough discussions is in a report by the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center, founded by four former senators - Republicans Robert Dole and Howard Baker and Democrats Tom Daschle and George Mitchell - to devise policy solutions both parties might embrace.
The report warns that the next administration "might have little time and fewer options to deal with this threat." It explores such strategies as blockading Iran's gasoline imports, but it also says that "a military strike is a feasible option and must remain a last resort." Its authors include Dennis Ross, top Mideast adviser to Obama, and former Senator Dan Coats, a McCain adviser.
Ashton Carter, a senior Pentagon official in the Clinton administration, wrote a paper for the Center for a New American Security, a prestigious bipartisan think tank, that asserts military action must be seen as only one component of a comprehensive strategy "but it is an element of any true option".
At a conference in September in Virginia sponsored by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, 'surrogates' for McCain and Obama insisted America must focus on preventing Iran from developing a bomb, not on allowing Iran to produce one and then deterring its use. "John McCain won't wait until after the fact," declared the columnist Max Boot, from the McCain team. The Arizona senator has previously said risking military action may be better than living with an Iranian nuclear weapon (and, to his regret, jokingly sang a song about bomb, bomb, bombing Iran).

Rico says set to the tune of "Barbara Ann"... (Which Rico, for years, thought was titled 'Bob Buran', but it wasn't.)
