ThinkProgress: Asia Times: Bush to attack Iran by August.

Asia Times is reporting that “a retired US career diplomat and former assistant secretary of state still active in the foreign affairs community” are alleging that the Bush administration “plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months” :

The source, a retired US career diplomat and former assistant secretary of state still active in the foreign affairs community, speaking anonymously, said last week that the US plans an air strike against the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The air strike would target the headquarters of the IRGC’s elite Quds force. With an estimated strength of up to 90,000 fighters, the Quds’ stated mission is to spread Iran’s revolution of 1979 throughout the region.

This must be the Republican plan for victory in 2008. Launch another war based on lies and expect the people to line up behind George W. Clusterfuck. God help us.

Update: Mother Jones says this was all a hoax.

George W. Bush: The Boy Who Cried Wolf. To paraphrase George W. Clusterfuck: Lie us into a war one time, shame on, shame on you; lie us into a war -- we won't get fooled again.
