Iran: Terror Label "Paves Way For Air Strikes"
Sunday Telegraph ^ | August 26, 2007 | Philip Sherwell

The White House's plans to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organisation are intended to give the Bush administration cover if it launches military strikes on the Islamic republic, according to a prominent former CIA officer.

Robert Baer, who was a high-ranking operative in the Middle East, said last week that senior government officials had told him the administration was preparing for air strikes on the guards bases and probably also on Iran's nuclear facilities within the next six months...

According to Jim Quinn (www.warroom.com) and his sources, the targets have been approved and England, France, and Israel are all on board with the plan to strike Iran.

Note the top democrats (Durbin, Clinton, Hoyer et al) distancing themselves from Reid, Pelosi, and Murtha over the past few weeks. Planning to cut loose the moonbats on the far left and support striking Iran?

Very perceptive, these “former CIA officers”. ;-)

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran!

I think the targeting is the second wave.

I look for the first wave will be to cut off gasoline imports from India. The indians have cover in not supporting international terrorists by supplying them with gasoline. Other markets for the gas will be developed to insure no economic loss for the refineries.

I ran will retaliate against the USA and then the bombing.

If Jorge has the stones to bomb Iran, i may consider him a halfway decent
president. But still, i’ll believe it when i see it.

I agree. Let Iran attack first. This will unite US and give the Arab world an excuse to stand down.

Maybe it was an intentional leak, to give the Iranians something else to worry about.
