I’m not buying it...just like the Israelis purposely played the press for the last six months insisting they had no intention of striking Gaza. This sounds to me like a leak the Israelis wanted to make, so that Iran is lulled into a false sense of complacency that no strike will occur....until BAM!

Bingo. I'm skeptical. Why?

1) It's the NYT. Do they care if stories are true, as long as Pres. Bush gets bashed?
2) Why would Israel or the US leak this? Most likely, disinformation.
3) What will be the result of this leak?
a) If Iran believes it, their guard may go down
b) President Bush is criticized by those who support intervention in Iran.
