CIA Guy Spreads Rumor
OK, so I go to my hairdresser today and Johnny says to me right in the middle of my cut, "Hey, I had a customer, a retired guy who was in the CIA, who came in two days ago and he said, 'hold on to your hat, John, because there is going to be a big blow up in two months with Iran." He then proceeded to tell me all what the guy had to say about trouble really brewing.

So, what do you think? Will something happen with Iran before the nomination process is done?

5. wise policy
But on a serious note regarding your OP, all I can say is nothing this administration does would surprise me. Unless it was something good.

7. the best part was that Johnny said that the guy was
a fervent Bush supporter the last two elections but he was in no way, shape or form going to vote for McCain....so, there is hope. Desperation breeds contempt, so it must be pretty desperate out there...

9. O'Reilly said there is an election soon in Israel and Netanyahu
will be the new PrimeMinister. He intimated then Israel will
take care of Iran Nuclear Factory. I do not know if this is
what the CIA guy is referencing or not.

Obama and Hillary had better be prepared to answer questions
their opinions etc/

13. wow, bingo because yes that is what he said that it won't be us but
Israel will bomb Iran (I just didn't want to put that out here so glad you did).....
Now, I'm even more concerned.

Anyway, that is exactly what he told Johnny....

10. Bolton on whether Bush might bomb Iran before he leaves office: ‘I think so, definitely.’
In a Fox News interview this afternoon, former UN Ambassador John Bolton discussed his desire to bomb camps inside Iran that are reportedly training and arming Shiite insurgents who fight in Iraq. Fox host Martha McCallum asked, “Can you imagine a scenario where President Bush would do that before the end of his term?” Bolton responded, “I think so, definitely.” He added later, “This is entirely responsible on our part.”

Asked by McCallum whether Israel would be supportive of the strikes given the possibility of Iranian retaliation, Bolton responded, “I think they’d be delighted.”

11. Well, I've seen murmurs about something like this for the past few months
When Admiral William Fallon stepped down as head of U.S. Central Command in March, that opened the door for anything. He was the last line of resistance.

With Obama running, this kind of operation will fail as an election ploy. It will be completely transparent and a gigantic neon sign reminder of how Bush has destroyed this country. So, I hope cooler and smarter heads prevail.
