An anonymously sourced report that emerged Wednesday claims President Bush plans to launch an attack against Iran before summer's end, but aides to two Senators who were supposedly told of the plan tell RAW STORY that the report is absolutely untrue.

Asia Times correspondent Muhammad Cohen, reporting from New York, writes that an "informed source" has clued him in to plans from the Bush administration "to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months."

Cohen's source told him that Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), who is on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Richard Lugar (R-IN), the ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, were secretly briefed on the administration's plans and were prepared to write a New York Times op-ed condemning Bush. Aides to the two senators were quick to deny the report.

I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Bush fooled the rose garden senators once, or so they claim...

2. Feinstein.....the same senator with the defense industry hubby?
I don't think she's the most trustworthy voice on this issue.

5. Seems like I've seen this before, like a bad rerun...
Truth? Justice? I'm laughing to keep from crying.

6. The White House would need a pre-text to launch an attack, such as a Gulf of Tonkin-like incident.
If it is convincing enough, it may get the fence-sitters in the Pentagon to follow orders because no officer worth his salt would run away if he felt US servicemen were truly being attacked by Iran.
