Tomorrow is the day

[whosinpower]

Iran is breaking the UN seals to their nuclear facility today. Tomorrow - Israel attacks. That is my prediction. Thursday.

Something big is coming down the pike. The stage is set. The acters in place.

Cindy Sheehan will be moved further away from the president - for her own safety(they will say). Thursday.

Can you feel it too? Am I being paranoid?

1. Yes. Yes you are.

Cindy being arrested? I don't really see that either. It would just create more news. I imagine they'll just wait her out, and then the president will fly back to D.C. when his vacation ends.

As for Iran, I honestly can't imagine us attacking them. The chances are billions to one, IMHO. And Israel can't do it without our say-so.

4. But - Bush already gave them permission

He said something to the effect of recognizing a state's right to protect itself and the US would not stand in the way.

This was awhile ago - but it stands.

6. Certainly, Israel could adopt the same preemptive doctrine as us...

(Us, meaning "Bush's America," not us meaning "you and me," of course)

But they'd still need our permission to cross Iraqi airspace, and certainly to move troops across Iraq to Iran. Hell, they'd have to cross Jordan too -- how will they do that?

Israel can't attack Iran, except with an air assault to take out the nuclear facility as they did with Iraq. And if they do that, they have to do it with our consent. I just don't see it happening.

But of course, that's just my opinion.

2. I'll disagree

for the purpose of debate.

Do you really think that the administration would let all that you describe go down while Bush** is on vacation? It wouldn't look right. He has to be shown (or portrayed) to be "in command" to be consistant with his image.

Now,

if all of a sudden he flies back to Washington D.C., then I'll worry.

5. Sure I could see it and here is why

Bush feigns total surprise to the story - rushs back to Washington, after the fact. It absolves him of responsibility. After all - he had no clue - he was on vacation after all......

7. If it is a surrogate attack of course we want an alibi

"I dunno 'bout no israeli 'ttacks, I wuz playin cowboy at muh ranch".

3. would be a nice distraction for Israel

the Gaza Strip issue would definitely be pushed aside

8. is it just me or was there talk of joint US-Irael attacks on Iran already?

I think they were talked about early in the Iraq occupation.

[Goldmund]

9. Yup, you are.

I do think that if Iran is attacked, Israel will launch the initial salvo.

But it won't happen tomorrow.
