As I mentioned before, the Russian Nuclear workers pulling out of the Bushehr nuclear site in Iran already clearly indicated they thought the site would be bombed pretty soon. Russian consulatants are reportedly also pulling out of many other places and returning to Russia.

Alan,
I looked up Ma'ariv but it's in Hebrew. I don't know anyone who can read Hebrew.If one of the readers of this your blog could translate a couple of paragraphs of the article I would be very grateful . 5:43 PM

Here's the translation from Ma'ariv:
Two weeks ago there were reports of two Iranian officers missing: Col. Amir Mahmad Shirazi and Brigadier General Mahmad Soultani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in the Gulf region. The official newspaper of the Corps accused Israel and the US of kidnapping the two and threatened to kidnap American and Israeli officers and to "throw them in the cockfighting arena".
"Iran is on the defense", stated yesterday Nicholas Burns, US Under Secretary for Political Affairs, who also mentioned that Russia's refusal to supply uranium for the Bushar nuclear reactor, as well as the tightening economic sanctions on Iran, proves that "international pressure is working".
It is worth mentioning that the Bush administration has decided to undermine the current Iranian government, and that the reports of mass desertions/defections (sorry, same word in Hebrew) of senior officers could be part of the psychological war waged against the ayatollah regime.
In addition, a German news agency reported, quoting Novosty (Russian news agency), that the US is poised to attack targets located in Iran in two weeks' time. This information is based on Russian military experts' analysis, who claim that Washington has already decided to launch the attack on Friday, April 6th, and that within ten hours different types of missiles (including cruising ones) will pound 20 nuclear facilities in Iran.
Also to be attacked are the central command of the Iranian army, Revolutionary Guards, and Iranian Navy bases, in order to prevent Iran from blocking the Straights of Hurmuz.
Well, they have just blown the surprise element, haven't they...

[...We'll know an attack is imminent, just not the exact date....]
Kind of like waiting for the Lord to return "like a thief in the night".
now I see the genious of the democrats plan...US troops out of Iraq NOW!!! Use them to invade Iran!!!!
Anything is possible, ping...
PING
Good Friday? This would be a horrible date to choose. Not only because it's a solemn day for Christianity, but choosing this day would provide enormous fuel to the Islamic propaganda that this is a new "crusade". Whether it is in fact, or not, I don't think Western governments are going to do anything during Holy Week. I suspect the Russians are leaking some disinformation, maybe on our behalf, as a kind of final warning.
On the other hand, the actions of the Iranian government (the British hostages, Ahamdinejad abruptly canceling his U.N. speech) indicate that something may be relatively close to "going down". The Brits may not be trade bait for Iranian agents, but insurance against soon-to-come attacks (think human shields).
Look for Rockefeller to travel to Syria next week...
Good tag line there. The left-wing Democrats want us to deal with Iran by "assuming the San Francisco position."
The other indicator is the change in military tactics by the IRGC from regular tactics to assymetrical guerrila resistance by small groups hiding in the mountains. Once their main assets are possbily destroyed, they must revert to guerrila resistance methods.
Coinciding with suicide/homicide bombers against all US and Western assets worldwide to sting back.
At which time a nuke or two from Israel or from us may become a justifiable response and take place to snuff out the Iranian "candle".

Yeah, this will never happen on Good Friday. Most likely not until 4Q 2007.
You have an exceptionally fast-growing thread here.
Thank yew!
Fertilizer does that...
Capturing the 15 Brit servicemen as hostages makes even more sense now.

I always believed that the rights and wrongs are best discussed after the victory over a dessert, between brandy and cigar.
There are things on the surface that we can see and think about.
There are some slightly below the surface things that we get a glimpse of from time to time.
And then there is a whole bunch of stuff happening I won't know about in my lifetime.
Interesting theory.
