Yikes! World Can't Wait just sent me an "Iran Alert"!
"ALERT! IF THE U.S. ATTACKS IRAN -
The Bush administration, in its rhetoric and in its actions, is moving dangerously towards an attack on Iran. If there is such an attack, IMMEDIATELY begin to mobilize people to go to the Federal Building from 4-6 pm on THE DAY AFTER THE ATTACK. Announce in your classes, call people, and bring out thousands! It is impossible to predict if and when such an attack will happen, but all indications are that things could escalate quickly. The World Can't Wait has a good article, along with cites to other articles. Take the time to read them. They are at: WCW."

Bush**co/PNAC couldn't really be stupid and arrogant enough to actually do it? Could they? :scared:

3. My local NBC talking moron said this morning
right after she was reporting about the 15 British sailors:

"Not to worry about what's happening in the Gulf near Iran because American ships and AF are there and on the job."

:wtf: That IS what I'm worried about!!!! Stupid bitch!

She is the most annoying person but that took the cake!!

Thanks for the info. I have been getting similar alerts from other org.s.

6. Easter Surprise: Attack on Iran, New 9/11… or Worse?
Easter Surprise: Attack on Iran, New 9/11… or Worse

By Heather Wokusch

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” – George W. Bush, September 2002

“This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous… Having said that, all options are on the table.” – George W. Bush, February 2005

03/29/07 "ICH " -- -- The Bush administration continues moving closer to a nuclear attack on Iran, and we ignore the obvious buildup at our peril.
Russian media is sounding alarms. In February, ultra-nationalist leader Vladimir Shirinovsky warned that the US would launch a strike against Tehran at the end of this month. Then last week, the Russian News and Information Agency Novosti (RIA-Novosti) quoted military experts predicting the US will attack Iran on April 6th, Good Friday. According to RIA-Novosti, the imminent assault will target Iranian air and naval defense capabilities, armed forces headquarters as well as key economic assets and administration headquarters. Massive air strikes will be deployed, possibly tactical nuclear weapons as well, and the Bush administration will attempt to exploit the resulting chaos and political unrest by installing a pro-US government.

Sound familiar? It's Iraq Déjà vu all over again, and we know how well that war has gone.

Seymour Hersh has published numerous articles in The New Yorker detailing the Bush administration's plans to invade Iran. His latest, "The Redirection," discusses US participation in Iran-based clandestine operations, the kidnapping of hundreds of Iranians (including many "humanitarian and aid workers") by US forces and the shocking revelation that an Iran-Contra-type scandal has been run out of Vice President Dick Cheney's office with some of the illicit funds going to groups "sympathetic to al-Qaeda."

<snip>

The clock is ticking, and there's far too much at stake.

If you're from the US, contact your Senators today and ask them to support the Webb amendment prohibiting the Administration from attacking Iran without congressional approval. Tell them to support the Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) bill making it harder for Bush to declare martial law and take over the National Guard, and while you're at it, tell your Senators to only fund troop withdrawal and to bring the troops home. Thank those Congress members who voted against more war funding.
