Going Into Iran in Seven Weeks

Here we go. Large scale military deployments to Iran are happening right now. And it's not just being alleged by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker. This time it's on CNN and in Time Magazine. Not only are Special Forces on the ground in Iran - as they have been for over a year - now the executive is going ahead with large naval deployments. Recently, Karl Rove bragged to RNC insiders that he had an "October surprise" waiting to maintain a neo-con majority in congress. Wonder how he's going to pull the fear strings this time. Um... if my math is correct...

Watch this fascinating CNN interview with a retired Air Force colonel. When large news organization does a story like this, we have passed the point of no return in the eyes of the administration. Perhaps we should listen to former CIA specialist Ray McGovern who said on September 17th that “We have about seven weeks to try and stop this next war from happening.”

Leave Iran alone! Stop yapping about Iran! Attack Norway, they have OIL... Shut up about Iran! The Iranians have NOT attacked anybody in the past 200 years! Leave the Middle East alone - They do not need America or any other "Bully with Guns" to tell them how to live. Enough is ENOUGH.

Ummmm, are you telling *me* to stop yapping about Iran? I'm with you. We should leave them alone. That's why it's good to keep alert as to the intentions of the US leadership. Since I posted, I think there is less of a chance now of a conventional military operation in Iran than a long, ongoing, covert operation.
