TIME: U.S. May be Preparing For War Against Iran 09:54 Sep 18, '06 / 25 Elul 5766
(IsraelNN.com) The United States might be preparing for war against Iran, according to the current issue of TIME Magazine. It reported that the American Navy recently ordered a submarine and minesweepers to prepare to deploy, and it is likely the intention was to prepare to blockade the Persian Gulf where Iranian oil tankers must pass.
"From the State Department to the White House to the highest reaches of the military command, there is a growing sense that a showdown with Iran--over its suspected quest for nuclear weapons, its threats against Israel and its bid for dominance of the world's richest oil region--may be impossible to avoid.," according to the magazine report.
It noted that American worries over Iran increased dramatically following the Iranian-backed Hizbullah terrorist war against Israel this summer.
Any American attack on Iran would be from the air and not from the ground, TIME said. American strategists estimate that Iran's first reaction would be to attack Israel.

I wonder who Time's source is and if they'll have to retract parts of this story like they had to with the Haditha Marines. I believe McGirk transferred to Israel or Lebanon from Iraq after he wrote that false story, sounds like he could have had something to do with this one.
TIME has sucky timing, what with the President and Amendijihadi speaking at the U.N. tomorrow. This is disgusting. Thanks, TIME, for consorting with enemies of the U.S. >:-(
To Time: We also have plans to whack Chavez. Just ask him.
LOOSE SHIPS SINK SHIPS!
I would hope so.
They have been at war with us for the better part of 27 years.
We had better have plans. Iran is already at war with us.
Let's give them the chance to ask Christ for forgiveness and really know God before it is too late for them...
TIME has been around since the early 1920's, at least.
I wonder why we didn't kick the snot out that little Iranian turd months ago.
I would hope that the Pentagon has plans to attack Pago-Pago, if the situation ever arises. Waiting for the last minute to make plans is never a good idea............
But I wouldn't want those plans divulged in TIME.
....or US TO DROP NEW ATOM BOMB ON JAPANESE MAINLAND TOMORROW!........
I think this is just wishful thinking on TIME's part. They can then say WE had the scoop. If it doesn't materialize, then they can say WE WERE LIED TO...........
And let's tell the whole freaking world about it....
MSM
Mainstream Morons
We subscribe to TIME, and I can tell you with a straight face that it is anti-Bush, anti-Bush and anti-Bush, and there is no limitation to the BDS.
I seriously doubt were going to war with Iran. (At least in the sense of a ground war)
Not anymore
(1)I sure HOPE they're planning and preparing. That's their job, for crying out loud. Si vis pacem, para bellum, after all.
(2)Thank you SO much Time, for once again betraying our deployments and preparations to our enemies. We knew you hated the US, but it's news that you all want to become radical Muslims. Do the women that work there know what you have in mind for them?
