The George W Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months, an informed source tell, echoing other reports that have surfaced in the media in the United States recently.

Two key US senators briefed on the attack planned to go public with their opposition to the move, according to the source, but their projected New York Times op-ed piece has yet to appear.

The source, a retired US career diplomat and former assistant secretary of state still active in the foreign affairs community, speaking anonymously, said last week that the US plans an air strike against the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The air strike would target the headquarters of the IRGC's elite Quds force. With an estimated strength of up to 90,000 fighters, the Quds stated mission is to spread Iran's revolution of 1979 throughout the region...

What, again? If all of these rumors were accurate, we’d have had a steady stream of bombers hitting Iran for more than a year now.

How ironic! I just spoke with a friend whose second cousin is married to a garbage man in Iran whose sister knows the third cousin of an unnamed source in Iran who says Iran has planned a preemptive strike on Washington, DC, next Tuesday at 4PM. Now the questions is: Whose source is more reliable?

These rumors are being fed intentionally to foreign media service by the DoD commands....

I m positive Bush will not be passing a less than nuke neutered Iran to his successor.

Probably $200 crude. But it will come back down once the threat is removed.

From the article: That would explain why two veteran senators, one Republican and one Democrat, were reportedly so horrified at the prospect.

Anyone who would believe that we would leak military plans like this is too stupid to for his own good.
If we do hit Iran then I sincerely hope that the first strike will be atomic.
