US Navy ships are moving around in the oceans somewhere. They do that all the time, but because I want to imagine that Bush will start a war in Iraq, I'll infer that it's proof that we're going to attack Iran.
Sy Hersh has written a bunch of articles where he has unnamed sources say that we're already at war with Iran. We hate unnamed and seemingly uncorroborated sources when it's Judith Miller, but when someone confirms what we know, that Bush is going to attack Iran, that's cool. We'll roll with that because, well, you know.
Bush is crazy enough to do it. Don't talk to me about how we've most of the time had a shortage of precision-guided weaponry because our production capacity had largely been exhausted by how much ammunition we were expending in Iraq and Afghanistan. Don't talk to me about how the military didn't have any excess capacity, that our ground forces were pretty much maxed out and there were no spare brigades. Don't talk to me about how the military was fairly clear in its opposition to further stretching our forces, or that the Iraq experts all made it clear that attacking Iran would make things in Iraq immeasurably worse. I know Bush is going to attack Iran.
Therefore, I'm writing this diary making this prediction, that it's going to happen soon, because of a post I read on some Russian website, or on antiwar.com, or because it was in an article on Counterpunch.
And when it never happens, when Bush's term ends, and this diary and the hundreds if not thousands of diaries predicting the imminent attack on Iran are shown to have been wrong, I'll never mention that I made this prediction.
There, I figured everyone needed a diversion from the current DKos imbroglio, and since the "We're going to attack Iran" diaries were so fun, I'm presenting this to you as a token of my gratitude.
