The New Yorker: National Security- the Iran Plans

Report Cites Plans for Imminent U.S. Attack on Iran

American officials are dismissing a report in The New Yorker which says that the U.S. is in the advanced stages of planning an attack on Iran'’s nuclear facilities, calling such claims '“ill-informed'”. The article, which says that American covert operations inside Iran have intensified, also suggests that one of the options being considered by the Bush administration calls for the use of nuclear '“bunker buster'” bombs, designed to destroy underground targets. Tehran '—at least publicly' —is laughing off the report, dismissing it as saber rattling. One former defense official who is familiar with the White House'’s thinking says that their plan hinges on the kind of wishful thinking that led to the current debacle in Iraq, saying, "I was shocked when I heard it, and asked myself, "What are they smoking?"

At this morning's White House press briefing, Helen Thomas's first question "Is the U.S. going to attack Iran?" immediately put spokesman Scott McClellan on the defensive.

BEST case- this President is the victim of some MAJOR false doctrine (dispensationalism) under the dillusion that he somehow can (or maybe even should) bring about Jesus' second coming.
WORST case- he & his cronies are padding their pockets by profiteering on oil and Defense contracs.
Maybe he's just somewhere in between: Certifiably INSANE or just plainly the biggest imbecile to ever hold the office!
God save us!

Don't forget that Bush himself outed our own intelligence operatives to silence whistle blowers CLICK HERE if you need your memory refreshed.
