U.S. developing contingency plan to bomb Iran: report
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite the Bush administration's insistence it has no plans to go to war with Iran, a Pentagon panel has been created to plan a bombing attack that could be implemented within 24 hours of getting the go-ahead from President George W. Bush, The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue.

The special planning group was established within the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in recent months, according to an unidentified former U.S. intelligence official cited in the article by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in the March 4 issue.

The panel initially focused on destroying Iran's nuclear facilities and on regime change but has more recently been directed to identify targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants in Iraq, according to an Air Force adviser and a Pentagon consultant, who were not identified.

2. Well, the FIRST Principle you turn to in such a case
Well What the hell are we suposed to believe?????

Is that nothing this administration says can be believed. Nothing. If it IS true, there's an ulterior motive for saying it and THAT is the most important part of the message (and usually the hidden part).
