Rumours continue to swirl about an attack on Iran before the year is out. Prof. Cole points to this Barnett Rubin item, this author was told by U.S. intelligence sources that his forthcoming book on Iran might be made obsolete by an attack before 2008, and there has been talk that Rove timed his departure to make sure that he was out before it happened. Plans to classify the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation certainly fit well with preparation for some sort of military action. An attack on Iran is, of course, a supremely bad idea, which is probably another reason to think that the administration will order it.

Do not forget, the democrats tried to put in a clause in one of the funding billd saying Bush did not have authorization to attack Iran. Bottom lin,e AIPAC prevented it from passing.
