This rumor is gaining strength. This administration continually denies the possibility of the fiasco becoming a reality, but more and more are leaking the information. Like a silent protest. We should have been able to impeach these guys long ago. Pelosi, Bush, Cheney, the blood will be on your hands.

Also note that 3 Iranian soldiers were reported killed in a skirmish with the PJK, an arm of the infamous PKK guerillas that have irritated Turkey for so long. At the same time Bush met with the second in command of the Kurdish government in a low key meeting that didn't get much press. Bush reaffirmed his support for Kurd government in order to stave off any Iranian retribution.

"This rumor"
You are so right, a rumor. Since you don't seem to know what a rumor is I thought I'd help you out.

Apparently an Israeli paper reported that one of Bush's high-level advisors told one of the Israeli cabinet members that the invasion was planned out and should be carried out by the end of the year. Not quite as much rumor, but I guess we'll see.
It'll be interesting to see also if he invokes NSPD-51:

So when they do it, of course you'll stop belittling those who
opposed the "rumor' and you'll just taunt them for opposing the action..How defensive of you..
Either way in your eyes Bushwacker can do in wrong, but to the rest of the sane world he's a jackass with stupid policies.

"With the news this morning of Iran holding back on information about it's nuclear program (again) I am not surprised."
Are you crazy. Here is a question, where did we hear this same story before? Iraq idiots, this is nothing new and so many of our citizens are falling for it all over again! God are we really this stupid as a nation?

Look at it as the last attempt but he NeoCons to keep control. With Dumya and the Republicans in control we have all the makings of a real true world standoff as Russia could very well become involved. Yes NeoCOns you're gung ho keyboard warrior personas which avoided serving in the war you so fervently supported has left he military short handed. Dumya and his ineptitude has managed to stretch the miltary short. (Against a badn fo rag-tag, dead enders, who are in their last throes, according to you). ALtho it would also allow him to declare a national emergency and postpone the elections. So if a few hundred thousand die as a result, no big deal right, since that allows trhe ineptitude should continue.

Why would I want to count on it?? It seems regime change WAS happening until the moron in the white house now decided to proclaim Iran part of his axis of evil. That spurred a crackdown on the moderates and reinforced the religious wacks (odd thing Muslim religious whacks seem to be identical in behavior to the Christian religious wacks).

The sad thing is that Bush actually thinks this will help the GOP hold onto the White House and become part of his legacy. What he fails to realize is that impeachment hearings against Clinton are one of the main reason he was able to slither in under the radar and be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. His own impeachment hearings will be in full swing by mid October if he does this. I don't think he will (because those few remaining allies helping us now in Afghanistan and Iraq will pack up and go home) but if he does, the upside is the certain annihilation of the GOP on Nov 4.

I really LIKE the author's name--Muhammad Cohen. But whatever amusement I might derive from his self-contradictory identification is overwhelmed by the poor writing and lack of substance in the article. He really drags up all the old ghosts, but he doesn't adequately back up his central assertion.

You may well play down the significance of this submission to the board, Oscar, but with your own insight into the situation, and knowing what you know, would you really be surprised to see an American air attack on Iran before November? I doubt it.
And a further massive squandering of lives and material really is no laughing matter, is it.

U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs.
Obama, a Democratic state senator from the Hyde Park neighborhood, made the remarks during a meeting Friday with the Tribune editorial board. Obama's Republican opponent, Alan Keyes, was invited to attend the same session but declined.
Iran announced on Tuesday that it has begun converting tons of uranium into gas, a crucial step in making fuel for a nuclear reactor or a nuclear bomb. The International Atomic Energy Agency has called for Iran to suspend all such activities.
This was in 2004 - so if Obama were president now we might be reading this same rumor.

Problem is, this post has zero relevance to today. Why is it that people in this country think that we have some god given right to tell another country what to do? And the hipocrisy we do it with is astounding. We tell other countries that you cannot enrich uranium, yet we still do it. No wonder we have zero credibility in the world.
Brazil is a member of the non-proliferation treaty and they are enriching uranium as well. When the state department was asked about their hipocrisy, they just said that Brazil had stated they were enriching for fuel. Somehow we take the word of a country that is Marxist at best and communist at worst. What a joke.

Now we know two things about you - you're old enough to remember those ads in the comic books and you read comic books.
Don't forget the weakling that had sand kicked in his face, bulked up, kicked the bully's butt and ended up with the hot girl in the one piece bathing suit.

Please sight your source Klarissa...i would very much like to read this for myself. And "one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs." Is not the same as will which is what we are talking about now, not back in 2004, loads of people said things in 2004 that they have had a mind change on because they now know that Bush and his gang lied! So if true i still don't see the point this is 4 years old, and we all know that they lied about all of this!

Oscar
He changed his name - he was Eliot Cohen before he changed his first name to Muhammad
This article explains his name and his prior work:

WMD's... After watching news stories on the next generation of cars, 90 miles per gallon or better. You begin to realize that one day the world will stop buying oil from those wacky Arabs, and they can go back to their tents and camals, and leave us alone!!

Interestingly, though, the American car companies are using Hybrid technology not to increase MPG/efficency but to increase overall HP. I guess it just shows you that the average American man would rather find a way to make himself feel more self important or make up for that tiny peepee rather than save money and ween America from dependence upon Oil.

About as dumb as saying the Americans can go back to ridin' the range and shootin' at Injuns. Believe it or not, Cletus, much of the Middle East has got cities, and roads, and cars and trucks and even indoor plumbing.
And beyond that, if you followed such things, you would know that much of the world HAS been driving fuel efficient vehicles that get up to 80 MPG. But they don't get into the USA, nope, nosir.

You might have an oil well fire. Nothing particularly new about that. Red Adair made a name (and a fortune) for himself putting out such fires. http://www.redadair.com/
To be frank, however, I have zero interest in seeing Iran nuked. A couple well placed MOABs would get their attention quite nicely, IMHO.

The issue of impeachment is not one that would have done any good for us. Pelosi was correct in not moving down that path. Impeachment still leaves Bush in office unless convicted in the senate. No president has ever been convicted so effort and money spent to impeach, as much as I would love to see it, would be wasted.
It takes 3/4 of the US Senate votinng YES to convict. With 49 from Bush's party there is no change of getting that vote unless he does something much worse than he has already done.
If you understand that aspect you would understand why there is no action to impeach. Look what happened to Clinton. Years of investigation and not acting on needed legislation and when the senate voted he was not convicted so we spent all that time and all that money for what purpose. To make republicans look good to their base nothing more. That kind of money wasting we do not need.

Whether it was not sound political strategy has nothing to do with it. If impeachable offenses occured then impeachment hearings are in order. To turn our back on this responsibility and call it too expensive or to put our political aspirations ahead of it, is a disgrace to this country. It also sets precedents that will allow our future Presidents to challenge us when they commit impeachable offenses and crimes.
