I'm not the only one sensing the ominous...and no
Omar, these quoted stories do not mean Cironcione
of Washington Monthly or Sean Rayment of the
Telegraph are advocating for it. -EY

THE LATEST ON IRAN....Joseph Cirincione:
For months, I have told interviewers that no
senior political or military official was
seriously considering a military attack on Iran.
In the last few weeks, I have changed my view. In
part, this shift was triggered by colleagues with
close ties to the Pentagon and the executive
branch who have convinced me that some senior
officials have already made up their minds: They
want to hit Iran.

It is believed that an American-led attack,
designed to destroy Iran's ability to develop a
nuclear bomb, is "inevitable" if Teheran's leaders
fail to comply with United Nations demands to
freeze their uranium enrichment programme.
....A senior Foreign Office source
said...."If Iran makes another strategic mistake,
such as ignoring demands by the UN or future
resolutions, then the thinking among the chiefs is
that military action could be taken to bring an
end to the crisis. The belief in some areas of
Whitehall is that an attack is now all but
inevitable."
