What To Do About The Dangerous And Imminent Threat Of Iran?

Like Harry Reid said, Iran is a festering sore, and the US needs to patch up ties with Israel by using the nuclear option on Iran. The US also needs to seek a new round of sanctions against Iran.
To this end, according to VP Joe Biden,Israel agrees to wait for these new round of sanctions before attacking Iran. Let's hope they won't have to apologize for embarrassing Joe Biden again.
But wait a sec here, is Iran actually doing anything wrong? Both the US and Israel have threatened to attack Iran, while Iran has done nothing of the sort. I mean, I know that Secretary Of Defense Robert Gates has claimed Iran was sending fighters and weapons to the Afghanistan, but even US Commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal has stated there's no proof to back up that claim. So what is the reason behind the Obama administration's call for nuclear option against Iran? Iran actually poses no threat to it's neighbors, Europe, or the US. And, more importantly, why is the Obama administration acting and sounding exactly like the Bush administration?

Apparently, Tony Blair Thinks He Has Some Credibility Left

In the run-up to Iraq War, then-British Prime Minister became known in certain circles as "Bush's Poodle", or "Phony Tony" because of his unequivocal support for the Bush(Cheney) administration's unilateral decision to violate international law and invade Iraq. Besides the Downing Street Minutes, there was the whole 'Dodgy Dossier' which even it's author states was wrong. What's more, Blair's recent refusal to apologize has hurt his party's chances in upcoming elections.
So now, with the US beefing up it's military presence in the Persian Gulf, Blair is claiming that's it's up to the world to halt Iran's nuclear program. Well, Mr. Poodle, I mean, Blair, the IAEA has yet to find that Iran is doing anything but building an nuclear reactor for anything other than peaceful purposes. So whom am I to trust? A proven liar with an agenda, or an independent international watchdog agency? If Phony Tony Baloney wants to squander what precious little political capital he has left on questionable intelligence, good luck with that. Just remember, one day when you cry 'wolf', a lot of people are just going to think poodle, and ignore you.

War Propaganda Never Sleeps, Not Even For The War On Christmas

Did Iran seize and Iraqi oil well or didn't they? When the Iranian Cyber Army takes down Twitter, preventing millions of Americans from following the mundane activities of the people on their lists, who really benefits?

A Tale Of Two Nuclear Programs

The Obama administration has been making much political hay played up for the propaganda push in the press for an attack against Iran because of the revelation that Iran has a secret nuclear facility. Not any more they don't. But Iran has already agreed to open the site up for inspection by the IAEA. It's sole purpose is not a nuclear weapons facility, but is another nuclear enrichment site for it's reactor at Bushehr.
President Obama has accused Iran of "breaking rules that all nations must follow". All nations?
No, there is one nation that has nuclear weapons and has refused calls for it to sign the NPT and open their nuclear sites up for inspection. This nation of moochers has attacked a US naval ship and yet still receives billions of dollars in aid from the US annually. That's enough to fund health care for every American citizen. Meanwhile, this nation commits war crimes and is violation of numerous UN resolutions, and yet still has the audacity to cal for war against the "mad" regime in Iran. (By US forces, of course.)
So why are we planning to attack one regime for obeying international law when another flaunts that very same law?
One word:oil.
