George W Bush Has Plans For Air Strike On Iran By August
Pakistan Daily ^ | May 27, 2008

Posted on 05/27/2008 9:22:31 AM PDT by Fennie

The George W Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months, an informed source tell, echoing other reports that have surfaced in the media in the United States recently.

Two key US senators briefed on the attack planned to go public with their opposition to the move, according to the source, but their projected New York Times op-ed piece has yet to appear.

The source, a retired US career diplomat and former assistant secretary of state still active in the foreign affairs community, speaking anonymously, said last week that the US plans an air strike against the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The air strike would target the headquarters of the IRGC's elite Quds force. With an estimated strength of up to 90,000 fighters, the Quds stated mission is to spread Iran's revolution of 1979 throughout the region...

No point in even trying to have a foreign policy when your entire administration is crawling with cockroaches who leak to the media anything you even plan for as a contingency.

At since the leaks have been effectively kneecapping W since his first term with no sign of punishment to the offenders, W had turned over his foreign policy to his own critics. Brilliant!!

So much for his naive ‘turn the other cheek’ approach to partisan politics. Not likely to ever see a democrat making the mistake of trying appeasement on the partisan front (like they do with the dictator and terrorist fronts).

George Bush couldn’t plan a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Too much multi-tasking involved.

While I believe that our brave Troops are doing a brilliant job, I hold that we will never win any war, until our country is willing, and able, to bring to justice the enemy within.

Well, if DEBKA said so, and Pakistan Daily confirms it, it must be so.

Article says the two senators are Feinstein (Rat) and Lugar (RINO).... but it’s all based upon one supposed source, speaking anonymously, so who knows?

The republican scum undoubtedly is Chuck Hagel. He is real garbage and we will be well rid of him from the Senate.

It’s just more difficult when the Democrat Party of cowards, traitors, terrorist loving, bottom feeding scum suckers are constantly working against the USA.

Anyone who opposes stopping an Iranian atom bomb is an absolute scoundrel and fool.
