This had better not be true. The
Asia Times published an article today stating that the George W. Bush
administration is planning to launch an air strike against Iran within two months.
Citing an "informed source," the Asia Times writes that two major
US Senators are planning to come forward with the news - and their opposition to
it - in a New York Times op-ed piece, including Democratic Senator Diane
Feinstein of California and Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana.
(If you
recall, Sen. Feinstein was one of the 41 Senators that sent a letter of complaint to
Mark P. Mays of Clear Channel Communications over the "phony soldiers comment Rush
Limbaugh made back in October of 2007.)
The article alleges that the
air strike is planned against the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC),
and "would target the headquarters of the IRGC's elite Quds force."
Just
yesterday, Senator John McCain - who seems to have made his positions essentially lateral
to those of the Bush administration since shortly before the announcement that
he was the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party - was on a verbal warpath
against Iran.
McCain called the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a
threat to every country in the region yesterday.
