Israeli/American attack on Iran.

I have received an extraordinary number of emails today - suggesting that a Nuclear attack on Iran is imminent. The prevailing thinking in these e-mails can be summarised in these points:

• The 15 British sailors currently under arrest in Teheran. This prepares the British public for adjusting their thinking to an American/Israeli attack on Iran as being justified. Saving our own is a noble cause.

• The chain-smoking single mom sailor - LEADING SEAMAN FAYE TURNEY (26) was interviewed by the BBC hours before her arrest. Suggesting some advance knowledge of events.

• Huge resources, warships such as the USS John C. Stennis, a Carrier of such staggering might that the Gods themselves would tremble at her thundering Horn, are moving into convenient positioning for a strike on Iran.

• Americans Christians would not accept another batch of body bags coming back from the Middle East. Ground offensive resources would not be sufficient without a draft. A draft would end Bush’s ongoing popularity with Middle America. So, the only way forward is a nuclear strike.

• Tony’s hopes of being remembered as a great leader – especially in this time of Thatcher praising for her fine warmongery in the 80’s, seem destined for dashing on the rocks of his broken Iraqi dreams. Its Tony’s last chance saloon for spectacular success in War.

• Varying intelligence reports, purportedly originating from Russia, suggesting that this Easter weekend is a target date for such an attack. http://www.rense.com/general76/hit.htm

• Israeli concerns over Iran's nuclear advances demand a characteristic reaction.
  

Although these various points do suggest a trend, I for one do not think that President Bush would risk his considerable reputation by becoming only the second US President to use Nuclear weapons against a foe. Not yet anyhow.
