Former CIA Analyst Says Iran Strike Possibly Set For June Or July

McGovern: Staged terror attacks across Europe, US

Former CIA analyst and Presidential adviser Ray McGovern, fresh from his heated public confrontation with Donald Rumsfeld, fears that staged terror attacks across Europe and the US are probable in order to justify the Bush administration's plan to launch a military strike against Iran, which he thinks will take place in June or July.

Appearing on The Alex Jones Show, McGovern was asked about the timetable for war in Iran and said that behind the diplomatic smokescreen, the final chess pieces were being moved into position.

"There is already one carrier task force there in the Gulf, two are steaming toward it at the last report I have at least - they will all be there in another week or so."

"The propaganda has been laid, the aircraft carriers are in place, it doesn't take much to fly the bombers out of British and US bases - cruise missiles are at the ready, Israel is egging us on," said McGovern.

(Later) "I can see Karl Rove saying, 'look what you need to do is become a war president again, get us involved with something pretty big here and then strut around and say you can't vote for a bunch of Democrats to pull the rug out from under me while there's a war going on'."

Now there is a world class nightmare ...

there is a significant deployment from the base I work near in August all apparently going to Iraq but who knows. Most of the soldiers I talk to feel Iran is a forgone conclusion.

It figures we fucked up Iraq and now were off to another adventure that's surely ti fail. I knew this idiot in the Whitehouse would try and start a war somewhere because of his sinking poll numbers.and this is all to make sure these damn republicans stay in power. And the dumb ass american people will go along with this mess.

but McGovern doesn't help his credibility by announcing this on the Alex Jones show.

Jones is the guy behind "infowars", and is a certifiable whack job.

The same story circulated during the summer of 2004 and 2005. My money says there's some oil exec out there who thinks this is a good way to push the price up another $1.

:nuke:
only problem is going to be China...

...for that matter. I am NOT holding my breath on this one.

on the other hand, I'm praying HARD that we're both wrong.
