1) It wasn't an actual threat and was simply another chapter in the recent flood of 'foiled terror plots' both in the US and the UK.

2) they have another plan in mind that will be more effective in furthering their ambitions by creating a more provable link to Iran and a more dramatic call for retaliation.

If the US were to attack Iran in any way then Iran would go after our military in Iraq and take them out. Considering most of our deployed are in Iraq that would put a hurting on us and perhaps enlist a draft in our country if war were to ensue.
This would be fatal to us.
Secondly, after our troops were hit in Iraq, the Israelis would be next by firing those long range missiles that Hezbollah posseses but have not yet used.
So then what would our alternative be? Send a Nuke? Send group troops to fight the Shiite armies?
Either way the Iranian President is just crazy enough to start this ball rolling. I'm not sure it will be August 22nd but after listening to Alex Jones I am inclined to believe that this is one conflict that will not end peacefully.
But here is the one BIG flaw that I see with your prediction and scenario; if they were waiting since last year for a 9/11 type of attack so they could go to war with Iran then why not let this latest plot go through? Why foil it and ruin your chance to attack Iran?

WOW....havnt heard this "prediction" before. For once I wish someone would have the imagination to come up with something new. And I do mean imagination....because most of these predictions are based on nothing but the hatred and mistrust of George Bush and NOTHING else.

Dont kid yourself Argos...call it what you will. But to accuse someone of committing mass murder for the sake of power...for the sake of ones own grandisement goes way beyong mistrust.

If War was to start with Iran and they succesfully held up US troops in Iraq, where the majority of the US forces are currently, don't you think that China would seize the opportunity of a weakened USA, that is severely distracted in the middle east and take back taiwan with severe force. then sit back and wait to see the worlds reaction. other than some protests, no one would take any serious action or make threats against them....not even the US. this would be a major ego boost for China and they would regroup to launch a final nail in the US's coffin, thereby removing them from status as a world superpower and reclaiming it as their own.
And who is to argue or stop them????????
