Operation Bite?

Jurassicpork at Welcome to Pottersville says the April 6th is the date we attack Iran:
According to Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov of the Argumenty Nedeli, we’re launching an assault on Iran on April 6th in a massive, 12 hour air strike called Operation Bite. Of course, this story, while it may be fairly new (March 25th), is hardly news. I’ve been saying for months now that we’re going to hit Iran anytime now and Global Research and the Arab Times have been saying the same thing since at least the middle of January. What’s notable is that the April date has remained intact all this time, which indicates a specific timetable and an unshakable, longstanding agenda.

Don't forget Bush's naming of Admiral William "Fox" Fallon to replace Gen. John Abizaid as head honcho at the Central Command early this year. At first it looked to be yet another bizarre, inappropriate appointment by our bizarre preznit until one re-examined Fallon's biography a bit more closely and realized that he was exactly the sort of guy that Bush would need for an air/naval war with Iran.
The news is out there, all indications are there that Bush and Cheney want this to happen. Mark your calendars, call your congressperson, dig your bombshelter, hold on to your ass. This could get very interesting.

IMHO, one Russian journalist is having a huge laugh at our expense. That said, one can never say "never" when it comes to the Bush administration. Time will tell, and not very much time at that.

The problem with such predictions is that if Uglanov is right, he will be celebrated, and if he is wrong, everyone will simply forget that the prediction was ever made. He has nothing to lose. Given that the Bushists will probably attack Iran at some point or other, Uglanov is simply betting on a date, the way one would bet on a score in an office football pool. (Full disclosure: I've never done that. I am a failure as an American male.)

Prophets throughout history have used the same trick. I say Uglanov is guessing, and nothing more.

Thanks, guys. Nothing like breathlessly putting out a stupendous conspiracy in the making... and having it shot full of holes!

That said, isn't it wiser to put Bush and Cheney on the defensive by immediately calling all their bluffs? Challenge every story, every statement? We have so often been caught by surprise because we have been unable to believe the latest atrocity....
