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.

According to Time, a deployment of minesweepers to the east coast of Iran would suggest this much discussed prospect has become real. The ships, a submarine, an Aegis-class cruiser, two minesweepers and two minehunters, were given the Prepare to Deploy order. They have not been ordered out of port, says the magazine, but told to be ready to move by October 1.

Let's see. Will Time, Newsweak, WaPo, LA Slimes, or NY Slimes leak confidential info first in an effort to sabotage?

I hope we are prepared for war against Switzerland, if needed.

I can sort of understand why Time and Newsweek pretend to themselves and to each other to represent some sort of credible source of information, but I can't figure out why anyone else would.

If Time were around in WWII, their May 31, 1944 edition would have said, "Allies Plan June 6th Invasion at Normandy."

I guess Time thinks we should just wait to be attacked, huh?

Guess they didn't hear President Lunatic and all his speeches

Especially that one about wiping Israel off the map

Our government would be derelict of duty if they were not planning. That is what we elect and pay them for.

My thoughts precisely.

Why don't these meatheads at Time, Inc. begin thinking like Americans and not effing globalists? The lives of our servicemen may be at risk.

Idiots.

The art of military deception is beyond what we see in the press. Don't worry - TIME magazine is an unwitting stooge. They only think they've got a big scoop. This is a classic disinformation leak. In a week, Bush will be quoted saying we're not interested in a military conflict.

The problem is the media believes they are the 4th branch of government.
