KUWAIT CITY: Washington will launch a military strike on Iran before April 2007, say sources. The attack will be launched from the sea and Patriot missiles will guard all oil-producing countries in the region, they add. Recent statements emanating from the United States indicate the Bush administration's new strategy for Iraq doesn't include any proposal to make a compromise or negotiate with Syria or Iran. A reliable source said President Bush recently held a meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice and other assistants in the White House where they discussed the plan to attack Iran in minute detail.

According to the source, Vice President Dick Cheney highlighted the threat posed by Iran to not only Saudi Arabia but the whole region. "Tehran is not playing politics. Iranian leaders are using their country's religious influence to support the aggressive regime's ambition to expand," the source quoted Dick Cheney as saying. Indicating participants of the meeting agreed to impose restrictions on the ambitions of Iranian regime before April 2007 without exposing other countries in the region to any danger, the source said "they have chosen April as British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said it will be the last month in office for him. The United States has to take action against Iran and Syria before April 2007."

Claiming the attack will be launched from the sea and not from any country in the region, he said "the US and its allies will target the oil installations and nuclear facilities of Iran ensuring there is no environmental catastrophe or after effects." "Already the US has started sending its warships to the Gulf and the build-up will continue until Washington has the required number by the end of this month," the source said. "US forces in Iraq and other countries in the region will be protected against any Iranian missile attack by an advanced Patriot missile system."

He went on to say "although US Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice suggested postponing the attack, President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney insisted on attacking Tehran without any negotiations based on the lesson they learnt in Iraq recently." The Bush administration believes attacking Iran will create a new power balance in the region, calm down the situation in Iraq and pave the way for their democratic project, which had to be suspended due to the interference of Tehran and Damascus in Iraq, he continued. The attack on Iran will weaken the Syrian regime, which will eventually fade away, the source said.

I have seen so many articles from the media saying blah blah blah
its expected this month that month, heck I even posted one myself a while back. This is continuous though, you can see the media corps fully support these illegal accusations and soon to be another illegal war....
(im not discrediting you by the way Viladrau:)

Does it not show though how much the mainstream media are actually hyping this all up ? infact you can hold them personally responsible too for edging this ridiculous fiasco and propaganda towards Iran as a country as a nation as human beings who have done nothing what so ever to ask for any of this bullshit from the west.

I agree. I mean, I hold global research in fairly high regard. But, I have heard too many "ZOMG IT WILL BE NEXT MONTH" to really freak out about it now. They want it. They are crazy. They will probably take it. Everyone knows they dont build up like this for nothing. There is not much we can do until it happens. And, even then, there is not much we can do. I just really hope they dont pull a large scale false flag on us. I am not looking forward to dealing with any bio/nuke attacks, especially because I live in DC.

Consider me offically fighting those responsible for making this happen when it happens, I have passed giving a fuck any more. I will battle who I can and who is taking part against Iran & Iraq as I have really had enough of this world wide corrupt political system ran by disgusting perverts and greedy bastards who thrive on killing innocents day by day.

Word.

[Dr.Druid]

Even though the news is expected I can hardly believe that they are going to get away with this one

Has it come to this?? That the people of the world cannot do anything???

Apart from passively protesting in a designated area with a bunch of Noam Chumpsky ring lickers that is.

Agree with comments here.

golbalresearch does put out nice information yes, and needless to say I'm not here to beat the war drum!:) I hold the media worldwide (specially TV) very accountable for a lot of the passiveness, ignorance etc that you see around of course.

Dr. Druid, we can do something, these are just people after all, and we are so many more. Only way to do it is through informing the public, fulfilling the role that the media is supposed to do. This is critical in the case of 9/11 (duh).

So please when the time comes, resist the war, go to demonstrations, and try to hand out dvds with your favorite 9/11 documentaries, please we all can do our part and it spreads like fire!
