{{cquote2|We've said so publicly that the Iranians have a base in Iran at which they are training Iraqis who are coming in and killing Americans. I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. By some estimates they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers. And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers. They can’t believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans. We cannot let them get away with it.|[[w:Joseph Lieberman|Joseph Lieberman]]}}

With predictions that the [[w:Nuclear program of Iran|nuclear program of Iran]] will have created a [[w:Iran and weapons of mass destruction|nuclear weapon]] within three years, senior American military officers claim to have a plan to strike and they support [[w:President of the United States|President]] [[w:George W.
