Intell Indications & Warnings Abound As Bush Finalizes Attack on Iran
January 2, 2006 -- Intelligence indications and warnings abound as Bush administration finalizes military attack on Iran.

Intelligence and military sources in the United States and abroad are reporting on various factors that indicate a U.S. military hit on Iranian nuclear and military installations, that may involve tactical nuclear weapons, is in the final stages of preparation. Likely targets for saturation bombing are the Bushehr nuclear power plant (where Russian and other foreign national technicians are present), a uranium mining site in Saghand near the city of Yazd, the uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, a heavy water plant and radioisotope facility in Arak, the Ardekan Nuclear Fuel Unit, the Uranium Conversion Facility and Nuclear Technology Center in Isfahan, the Tehran Nuclear Research Center, the Tehran Molybdenum, Iodine and Xenon Radioisotope Production Facility, the Tehran Jabr Ibn Hayan Multipurpose Laboratories, the Kalaye Electric Company in the Tehran suburbs, a reportedly dismantled uranium enrichment plant in Lashkar Abad, and the Radioactive Waste Storage Units in Karaj and Anarak.

1. With all due respect to Wayne Madsen, who I think means well...
...I'll wait until someone else reports this. I don't think Bush can pull this off without some serious preparation. The public is not ready for the kind of conflict this will trigger.

3. they needed eight months of cable tv
pounding the war drums with shows like :Count Down it Iraq (I think that was CNN) - to shore up support to go into Iraq without broad international support.

My rational mind says there is no way that the bushco can do this - there is not the public support, there is not the military manpower, etc. But then, I remember who we are talking about - their actions are not bounded by any rational thought. That makes the specter of potential action, frightening.

5. 50 thousand trainees to go to Ft. Rucker?
That just doesn't seem right.

6. Exactly the reason he will do it
without preparing the domestic population. It's easier to get forgiveness then permission. Once the attack is launched he will count on the nationalistic instincts to kick in. If they don't , BFD , it's too late.
