Well Paul

our friend "Uptown Ruler" who is a regular contributor to Scrutiny Hooligans thinks the clock is ticking. He reports:

" Times Online is reporting “The Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said."

"Chris Floyd writes “Day after day, almost hour by hour, fresh confirmation comes of the impending American attack on Iran. Yet the same surreal malaise that hung over public affairs before the war of aggression against Iraq has descended again."

Is it all just talk? A diversion, while something else is going on? I do not know, but reports are being seriously circulated.
