Iran has been in the gun-sights of George W. Bush and his entourage from the moment that he was parachuted into the presidency in November 2000 by his father’s Supreme Court.

A year ago there were signs, duly reported by Seymour Hersh and others, that the United States and Israel were working out the targeting details of an aerial attack on Iran that it was anticipated would occur in June 2005 (see Hersh, Gush Shalom, Jensen). But as Michel Chossudovsky wrote in May 2005, widespread reports that George W. Bush had “signed off on” an attack on Iran did not signify that the attack would necessarily occur during the summer of 2005: what the ‘signing off’ suggested was rather “that the US and Israel ‘in a state of readiness’ and prepared to launch an attack by June or at a later date. In other words, the decision to launch the attack not been made” (Chossudovsky: May 2005).

Since December 2005, however, there have been much firmer indications both that the planned attack will go ahead in late March 2006, and also that the Cheney-Bush administration intends it to involve the use of nuclear weapons.

1. where is the evidence for another 9/11 type event here?

It may not be obvious in this media format, but I ask with all sincerity. This idea has occurred to me, but Keefer refers to it as "There have been indications that the planned attack may be immediately preceded (and of course ‘legitimized’) by another 9/11-type event within the U.S." yet never follows up with these 'indications'.

2. Future 9-11 type attacks?

I had a piece bookmarked from last year, titled Iran and the Euro oil Bourse that addressed your question.

I tried the bookmark i had for this article, so i could give it to you but it's been taken down. Basically it said the same thing the Keefer article said, with one caveat. It mentioned the date March 28,2006 and it mentioned a 9-11 type attack in the state of Alabama.

That's all i know, and of course you'll have to take my word for it. I do wish i could find that previous article, i did a search on DU with no luck.
