PRESIDENT BUSH is preparing to attackIran'snuclearfacilities before the end of April and the US Air Force's new bases in Bulgaria and Romania would be used as back-up in the onslaught, according to an official report from Sofia.

"American forces could be using their two USAF bases in Bulgaria and one at Romania's Black Sea coast to launch an attack on Iran in April," the Bulgarian news agency Novinite said.

5. I can believe it How much of Iraq Funding was diverted
To payoff Bulgaria and Romania to allow basing attacks from there and also to pay for munitions for an Iranian attack. F'ers.

6. k & r. Anyone who still thinks the attack on Iran is NOT going to happen is an ignorant fool.
I'm sick of reading posts saying, "Oh no, they wouldn't do THAT!"

They WOULD do "that", and they WILL do it very soon now!

8. Congress needs to impress on bush that there will be no bombing
without approval from them. How they do that I don't know. This situation is too important to "assume" anything bush will or will not do. Iraq, remember Iraq. bush's logic for doing anything is twisted.

10. Congress won't do shit. Most of them are in the pocket of AIPAC, & Israel WANTS war on Iran.
Don't expect any help from Congress to prevent this.

11. Combine the PNACers with the AIPACer and you got some
power to deal with. Ugh, our voices are definitely lost in the rush to war.

7. The source cited for this is Sam Gardiner, who was claiming in September an attack is "imminent"
Sounds like more sabre-rattling directed back at Iran.

Take with a salt tablet.

9. Sabers were rattled from summer of 02 until bush announced
planes were attacking Iraq. Those same sabers along with the media setting us up for the "possibility" of the U.S. wiping out the Nuke facilities in Iran. PNAC has a plan and with the situation in Iraq in the toilet, with no good answers, with our troops about to become sitting ducks, yup, Iran would fit in nicely for those idiots. They are not too smart ya know.

Maybe I'm just an optimist.

12.  The way this is heating up it may be sooner than April
Look at all that has built up in the last few weeks , and by putting out the time frame just gives Iran time to react unless this is what they want Iran to do .

I just feel this will be soon , just a gut feeling of the way these freaks in our whitehouse react .
