War Date Set? Murdering Iranians / Lew Rockwell
http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/020247.html?rta

Terrible rumors from Russia continue to swirl around the Middle East that the Cheney-Bush junta has decided to bomb Iran on April 4th or 6th, targeting not only nuclear-power research facilities but ships, planes, antiaircraft installations, and the Iranian pentagon. Apparently the nuclear-power reactor being built by Russian companies will be spared, but not much else. Will it happen? Certainly the neocon hate network is working overtime to make it so. Bush fired the anti-neocon Admiral Fallon. One thing we know for sure: it will be the typical Bush administration snafu, with horrific consequences for the region and the world, not to speak of the Iranian people, and reap much trouble for the US empire. Indeed, it could mark the end of the empire if, as Bill Lind worries, the Iranians in retaliation cut off water-food-ammo supply routes to US troops in Iraq, and, with the help of Shiite militians, capture large numbers of them. Need I mention that Ron Paul, our champion of peace, is the leading opponent of war on Iran?

1. I too believe an attack is coming, but Lew Rockwell is not a credible site.
Too many screwballs at Lew Rockwell to give credence to any of their opinions.

They are, for instance, as nutty about hating Lincoln as Lyndon LaRouche is about the British royal family.

And Lincoln, after all, was a great man.

2. How Subtle!
Such an obvious plug could backfire, you know. Give his supporters a bad name....

3. Just for fun, because I liked the picture.
Gotta post some fun pictures here every now and then, and thanks for giving me the opportunity.

Seriously, I don't believe Rockwell is necessarily wrong here. I think the coming week is a bit soon, but with Cheney back, anything is possible. Interesting reading, too. And Rockwell isn't the only one speculating, that's for sure.

We could be in it deep in another week or two.

4. The whole problem with this is that it comes around every month or 2
Regular as clockwork. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I'm getting a little numb to it. Its like the boy who cried wolf.

5. Maybe It Doesn't Happen Because It Leaked?
It's our only way of telling the bastards that we've got our eyes on them 24/7

6. He's wrong! I think it's April 7th or 8th!
Or possibly August 9th.

I'm still checking my sources.

7. Ron Paul is a "champion of peace"?
that pretty much discredits anything Rockwell will ever say in life....
