Iran Crosses Nuclear Threshold

This report indicates Iran is closer than ever to being capable of constructing a nuclear weapon. With this news, what will be the reaction of the Bush Junta ? Is it possible to imagine a war starting during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons ? I would think not. Posturing and strong talk for a period of time will probably continue to happen, so the earliest war may start probably will commence militarily in February.
