Iran

Here is the article that accuses the Bush administration of preparing military operations against Iran. Which provokes the US Department of Defense to come up with this statement - if the article is quite so nonsensical and bare of any credibility, why bother?

They protest too much, methinks. My scenario of last fall about a strike or invasion by March 2006 has not exactly been invalidated by all means. But what I am really surprised about is the bold assumption (again!) that an invasion might meet with enthusiastic support from the iranians. While there is certainly not much ardour in favour of the mullah government in the urban population of Teheran, a foreign attack on Iran will be an invaluable, although not unexpected present for the regime.
