Some tinfoil, some truth. But the scenario is not that far from what happened to get us into Iraq. This comes from someone in germany who claims to be a former german intelligence officer.
1. Detonation on Dec 27 (could be delayed, but all our intercepts point to this date)
2. The State Department blames "al-Qaeda", whose leaders are allegedly hiding in Iran
3. Iran (truthfully) denies giving refuge to said leaders
4. Bush issues Iran with a cowboy-style deadline for delivery of alleged leaders
5. Iran fails to comply because it cannot
6. UN convenes in emergency session - no agreement (Watch Ariel Sharon quietly flee to his private estate in Greece)
7. Other foreign intelligence agencies dispute the State Department version
8. Happily for Wolfowitz, Osama bin Laden releases a videotape claiming responsibility, warning America not to attack his "brave warriors" in Iran
9. American fighters launch a "decapitation" attack on the Iranian government and alleged "al-Qaeda" bases http://www.intl-news.com/blog/_archives/2004/12/18/208771.htmlFor the record, again, I'm not saying I buy everything that is laid out there but I did check out what I could and John Mullen (a nuclear physicist) WAS assassinated on June 29th in his home. Sandy Berger WAS investigated for "stuffing 911 documents" into his pants. The link between Pakistani intelligence, the Taliban, the CIA, MI6 and Al-Qaeda is widely speculated.
