The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories. The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviaton from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula...
April 5th D-Day for Iran Leaked by Russia?

"Even the American MSM writes for Pravda, make no mistake."
Is there a difference?
New moon is on April 17th.
I posted this Iran attack information (very similiar) from an AntiMullah article on Active News on the 24th, two days before this version went up, and was quickly relegated to Bloggers! Though it still had nearly 3,000 views.
My source originated with Ma'ariv in Hebrew, translated by a commenter on http://www.antimullah.com so I used AntiMullah as the source. Instead of more wisely "Ma'ariv via AntiMullah". It was definitely Front Page news when I got it to FR.
Not jealous, just slightly peeved by the discrimination toward a solid site like AntiMullah with a slew of direct contacts in crisis areas managing to get a translation from Hebrew and then beat other media to the punch to get it on FR. Only to get snuffed out to blogger.
The AntiMullah site has broken many international exclusive stories before the so-called "MSM" and sometimes long before the in-country stringers at Reuters, AP etc., which provide the MSM their leads.
Actually FR has treated my posts and AntiMullah with lots of kindness, so this commentary is partly a sign of confusion on my part. Perhaps because some of the Monitors differ in opinion and it depends who gets to officiate.
Or wanted to limit the spread of the possibly sensitive information it contained little realizing the leak would hit MSM very quickly. I hope Monitors realize I do not post non-open source details even if or when I receive them. Nor does AntiMullah. We have been around too long to make those mistakes.
cheers and everyone have a wonderful week,

This is an outrage! How dare these upstart Russkies give away our plans ahead of our own media!
/S
Prayers for our beloved President.
Some very disturbing stuff on a brief stop at Coast to Coast last night.
The guest's contention was that the attack would be around 17th-19th.
But his stuff about the WH was most disturbing if even fractionally true. Our leader needs our prayers more than ever.
There was an interesting book about 20 years ago that had your outline as a plot. Can't remember the name, but my Dad gave it to read in school.
You wrote that like it came from a source OR from memory. ... Col. North (I think) did one of his 'War Stories' on Midway recently, and there was an episode on the History Channel recently, too. As I read your post, I could hear Col. North's voice in my head!
Orthodox Easter is on the same date this year as Western Easter.
>Is there a difference?<
Alas, none whatsoever.
This could be a "Barium" enima release. If you ever had a lower GI test, you'll have an idea of what I mean.
The info or "Barium" is released to see where the leaks are and the reactions to the leaks. It helps gauge many different things.
I wouldn't be too concerned. Even if they knew the day and the target, there is precious little they can do to stop us from obliterating it, outside of moving it. I don't think they will be able to pack up all their facilities in this short of time.
I only hope it's true that we are going to take some serious action against Iran....SOON!
Sincerely
Since we have better assets in Iran than we had in Iraq, and our SAT intel is improved in the last six years, this 'leak' may be the 'barium' used to reveal from whence things suddenly get 'moved' and to where.
They also release barium into the ionosphere to make the magnetic patterns more visible as aurora. If barium were released in the vicinity of Hillary!'s brain would it detect signs of electromagnetic brain activity or is the 'I will take the oil profits' and 'universal health care!' nothing but a recording?
Something needs to be done, that's for sure.
Yes, it sure is. I checked my Catholic calendar at home last night and saw that.
Is this the same Russian military that claimed we sank the Kursk and initially denied that they shot down Korean Air Flight 007?
Thanks for the ping.
My reply came from both from my memory and from the link.
I didn't hear Ollie, but I can imagine him saying something similiar.
