Bomb Iran -- a majority says ... YES?!?!?

For a long while, I've believed in the good sense of our American public. But today, Zogby released the results of a poll claiming that 52 percent of America supports bombing Iran. I don't want to believe that is true, because if it is, then we must be a nation of fools.

(Un)Surprisingly, the media has not taken a balanced approach to the situation. The Oxford Research Group released a study entitled "Iran Body Count" that lays bare the unfounded recklessness of such an attack. It would literally mean the start of World War III. It could spell doom for our nation and world. Millions would die, atop the bodies of the millions already dead.

Their blood would be on Bush's hands, and on the hands of a Congress that has not shut this tyrant down.

How can the majority support such a thing? And why is the Oxford study not on the front pages of newspapers nation-wide?

The light is dimming.

Operation Bite: Iran attack planned for Good Friday?

This just in, as reported by journalist Webster G. Tarpley ...
WASHINGTON DC -- The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.

The attack is slated to last for twelve hours, according to Uglanov, lasting from 4 AM until 4 PM local time. Friday is a holiday in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.

The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.

The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran's nuclear program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was re-issued by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English, several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.

Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness by pro-peace forces around the world.
I'll be in Crawford, Texas on Good Friday.

We'll see how 'Good' that day turns out to be.

Marines headed to Iran?

Richard Pearle, former chairman of the Defense Policy Board, seems to think that U.S. Marines will be headed into Iran in the very near future.

That's bad. Real bad. World-Freaking-War-III bad.

In lighter news, a friend of mine is bored at work. So he injected his various creative jams, jellies and juices into this little tidbit that might help you swallow the news of an impending world war ...

Let's hope Pearle is wrong.

I'm not about to go die in Bush's war on everyone.
