It seems that the rules of engagement have changed, and the weasels are doing their best to change them back to the earlier self-destructive ones.
There is a lot more going on than meets the eye – indeed globalsecurity.org says that Bush would not tip his hand if he were going to attack Iran. It may become more politicially viable to do so soon – depending on what Ahmadinejad does.

I hope you’re right, but I still haven’t been told that the rules of engagement have changed. Those are the ones that tell our soldiers on the ground when they can use lethal force. You are quite right that we have changed the rules governing our treatment of iranians in iraq, which is good news.
I agree that Bush would not want to tip his hand, but, again, I don’t see any sign that we are getting ready to attack.
