Despite its claims to the contrary, some see evidence that the White House is preparing for conflict with Iran.
US forces raided a facility that Iran claimed was being used for diplomatic purposes, alleging that Iranians were funneling weapons to the enemy. Six Iranians were captured in the raid at the consulate, with one being released earlier today.

, notes that U.S. actions could signal a conflict in the near future.
Pike provides a time frame in which the U.S. or Israel might first strike Iran, explaining, "I think the month of February is certainly a time of heightened probability. It's very difficult to understand exactly what the thinking is at the White House and in the Israeli government but for sometime now we've been saying that 2007 is probably the time, if there's going to be military action, it's probably going to come this year. Possible as soon as next month. Probably no later that August of this year."

In the U.S. House today, Republican Rep. Walter Jones (NC) introduced a resolution requiring the President "to receive congressional authorization to use military force against Iran," reports McClatchy Newspapers.
"The resolution requires that – absent a national emergency created by an attack, or a demonstrably imminent attack, by Iran upon the United States or its armed forces – the President must consult with Congress and receive specific authorization prior to initiating any use of military force against Iran," Rep. Jones said in a press release.

Iran President President Bush
All the White House plans will fall as they will be out smarted by the Middle East leaders. Already there's talk of PM Maliki not having the support of the Iraq people. Now Al Sadr is the man they follow. This will be interesting as the US attacks in Sadr City. Up to 700 troops will be in one police department which leaves them as sitting ducks to be killed in large numbers at one time. Yes Iraq soldiers will be with them but we know already that all the soldiers aren't supporting the US and Maliki. When the first police department blows up and we lose over 200 at one time this will end.
More reason the Gerbil & Cheney need to be removed.
