When Russians began scrambling to get our of the way and the UN sanction vote was unanimous, the signs were becoming the writing on the wall.

This date is close to what some Freepers have been saying privately.

Well, against a deep underground facility which is even offset from its entrances and ventilation shafts, nothing would work better than a sizable nuke. Indeed one could argue that nothing else would work.

If one of the bloggers could translate a couple of
paragraphs of the article I would be very grateful.

Ping to Alouette!

Hmmmmmmm BUMP

There's no way an attack is imminent. There's no such thing as a surprise attack (by us) anymore. Before we attack there will be umpteen warnings and many leaks. We'll know an attack is imminent, just not the exact date.

[Pub Linkser--80]

It could happen next month, but my view is we'll see more covert operations and continued economic and diplomatic pressure until at least the 4th quarter of this year. If that doesn't work, we could see surgical airstrikes in the 4th quarter of 2007. Pop some popcorn...this will be quite a show before it's over.

>April 5th D-Day for Iran Leaked by Russia?

One strange part of this
is Iran picked a bad time [?!]
to kidnap those Brits.

Now, Coalition
forces massing _near_ Iran
can pretend [?] to be

a rescue mission.
Hell, even the invasion
can be a "rescue" . . .

Nothing like our "allies" tipping off the enemy. No matter. That facility will be a pile of bricks soon enough.

The world will be informed of our surprise attack when it is published in the New York Times.

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).

Capturing the 15 Brit servicemen as hostages makes even more sense now.

HMS Cornwall could have easily destroyed the Iranian patrol boats. I am certain its CO was stopped by the Pelosi System of first having to call Downing Street before firing.

Where is Israel is all of this? Would they strike in lieu of us?
