Cheney-Bush junta has decided to bomb Iran on April 4th or 6th!?

[youngbuck]

Yea.... so just a rumor. Move along folks...

When intelligence of this type comes out, it often has the effect of delaying the plans of TPTB. Let's keep delaying these mattoids anyway that we can until sanity returns to this nation. (Got a couple hundred years?)

Well, you heard Bush mention a couple days ago that Iran had influence over the current security problems in Iraq right now. It was completely random, and when I heard that I said to myself "WTF is this dunce talking about?" If that isn't beating the war drums on Iran I don't know what is. Add to the fact that William Fallon recently resigned, it seems to me an attack on Iran is very near.

I am willing to bet my entire savings account that this story is False.

The people that keep bringing this up every year are like Nostradamus...make a vague reference to something and if it happens, "See I told you so!" If it doesn't, just keep predicting it until it does.

By the way, Bush is going to be in Russia on 6 April......
Which means that there won't be an attack on Iran on that date.

[puppetmaster]

They are talking about how bad things are going in Iraq ....this is a complete turn around from the usual "the surge is working" statement that they normally chant. They are also blaming it on Al Sadr and he is supposedly hiding in....you guessed it IRAN. So I could assume that something may happen in the near future... but, on which continent?

Re:Cheney-Bush junta...

I found this news piece while following the matter in this original thread
This source is a Russian News Agency, of the likes of Reuters, in Russia.

RIANovosti

MOSCOW, March 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran's borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday.

"The latest military intelligence data point to heightened U.S. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran," the official said, adding that the Pentagon has probably not yet made a final decision as to when an attack will be launched.

He said the Pentagon is looking for a way to deliver a strike against Iran "that would enable the Americans to bring the country to its knees at minimal cost."

He also said the U.S. Naval presence in the Persian Gulf has for the first time in the past four years reached the level that existed shortly before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

Col.-Gen. Leonid Ivashov, vice president of the Academy of Geopolitical Sciences, said last week that the Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Iran's military infrastructure in the near future.

A new U.S. carrier battle group has been dispatched to the Gulf.

The USS John C. Stennis, with a crew of 3,200 and around 80 fixed-wing aircraft, including F/A-18 Hornet and Superhornet fighter-bombers, eight support ships and four nuclear submarines are heading for the Gulf, where a similar group led by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been deployed since December 2006.

The U.S. is also sending Patriot anti-missile systems to the region.

The Russian news really isn't worth reading. They have a real mess regarding print and television media over there.

You think Fox News is bad? That's nothing compared to the kinds of problems they have there.
It is almost anti-Western propaganda at times.

Stir up a bunch of middle east violence with the fitna movie. Carry out a false flag on the pope and walllah instant war!

Christian and Catholics unite in a modern day crusade against Islam. While portraying them as the evil anti christ.

Nastradamas predicted the Pope would be dragged out of the Vatican by soldiers around this time. And the last great war would start.

Nostradomus predicted a lot of things. Or did he predict anything? His qutrains are so generic it is easy to apply them to almost anything or anytime.

Saudis Plan For 'Sudden Radioactive Fallout'

3-30-8

RIYADH (dpa) -- The Saudi Shura council will secretly discuss national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom following experts' warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactors, media reports said Saturday.

The Saudi-based King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology has prepared a proposal that encapsulates the probabilities of leaking nuclear and radiation hazards in case of any unexpected nuclear attacks in Iran, the Okaz Saudi newspaper said.

The Saudi Shura or consultative council plans to debate the proposal on Sunday.

The power plants in the south-western Iranian port of Bushehr were built with German assistance in 1974 and resumed with Russian aid in 1992, after it had been stopped by the Islamic revolution.

War with Iran May Have Begun with Offensive in Iraq

The United States military offensive against Iran may have begun with a swiftly escalating series of operations directed against the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia led by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, which had been observing a six month old cease-fire.

Overall circumstances in support of this conclusion:

* If attacks against Iran are to commence soon, then it makes sense to weaken those forces considered likely to irrupt in response to such an attack: Better to attack those forces first and separately, throwing them off balance and subjecting them to prolonged siege, thereby depleting their assets and revealing their larger weapon capabilities and stores, prior to an attack on Iran itself;

* If attacks against Iran are to commence soon, then it makes sense to force an end to the Mahdi Army six month cease-fire and to establish general conditions of conflict, during which accusations and operations against Iran would appear less unprovoked;

* The recent Bush and Cheney "peace" trips occurred within the planning and operating context of not only the current offensive, but also part of an event platform for operations whose scale and duration certainly extend beyond the forces deployed in the port of Basra during the last week in March, leaving the distinct impression US actions are plan rather than event driven.

Iraqi circumstantial elements:

* Operations against the Mahdi Army are large scale, coordinated attacks: Starting with raids and arrests in the Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad and following-up immediately by a claimed 30,000 man police and Iraqi army offensive in Basra, which required months of planning and logistical preparation, even if largely imagined;

* The operations were timed to occur immediately after the Bush-Cheney Middle-East trips and before the administration's presentation of its force level plans to Congress;

* The operations were directed against what US and Iraqi governments say are Iranian assets in Iraq: US and Iraqi government officials have repeatedly charged that the elements attacked were those supported by Iran;

* The local police and army units in Basra were bypassed: long considered unreliable, the Basra police and army units, which were expected to melt away in any general insurrection, have been largely replaced (and possibly contained/detained) by units sent from the north in the Iraqi government's single largest military operation;

* Sadr's call for civil peace demonstrations in Baghdad to protest US attacks were met with an unprecedented three day, 24 hour curfew;

* Throughout all of this, US forces have been held almost entirely in reserve, with their likely use to occur as each Mahdi Army element is fixed in defensive positions by the Iraqi army, depending on circumstances, such as hitting Mahdi Army strong points, supporting weakening Iraqi government operations, and killing/capturing Sadr.

* General Petraeus claimed in a BBC interview about the Green Zone attacks, "Tehran had trained, equipped and funded insurgents who fired the barrage of mortars and rockets."

* General Petraeus in a videoconference with the president on Monday, during the briefings reported by officials, recommended taking "up to two months" to evaluate security in Iraq before considering additional withdrawals.
