This is part of Seymour Hersh's well supported thesis and explains some of the motivations behind the recent Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. Hersch is a respected journalist with a history of uncovering the Mi Lai massacre, Abu Gharab and other government abuses.

No not a conspiracy theory, and it's not my idea -- I"m talking about an article in the New Yorker by a reputable investigative journalist.
We've given Iran until then end of the month to stop its nuclear program. Iran is a threat to both Israel and the US. If you think something is NOT being planned or that Israel and the US did not act a little bit out of character recently, you're uninformed.

I think Mr. Hersh is probably on to something. I doubt Israel would so frequently invade its neighbors in any case without US support. It would not surprise me if the Bush administration played puppeteer on this one, testing the waters not just from a military standpoint, but determining what American public support can be expected, for a future attack on Iran.

OH HOLY HOCKEYPUCKS!!!
Have you seen the movie "Six days of the Condor"
There was a guy who did nothing but read books, magazines, and newspapers to learn if there were any conspiracies going on in the world. He submitted a theory to his superiors and lo and behold one day when he ducked out the back way to go to a restaurant some really bad dudes broke in and machine gunned everybody down.
This could happen to you too now that you have exposed this thing to light. You better get out of the house now and run. Don't use credit cards or they will find you. If you join the homeless and live in the subway you might survive another week or so.
Good luck pal, Sorry I can't help you.
Tonight I have to fly a seal team to Iran to take out a nuke reactor.

The Bush administration doesn't rehearse anything. It's their way or the highway, because their way is the right way. They are experts at war, why do we need to rehearse? If there was a problem anywhere, they wouldn't bother to fix it anyways. If we wanted to strike Iran, we will. I imagine it will come in late October, to once again "scare" Americans into supporting the GOP.

Yes it maybe is a rehearsal of a war on Iran but it did fire back at USA policy in the Middle East .The New Middle East is gone only peace can make new Middle East not by wars

i in my opinion wish no longer. i do no longer think of the u . s . is waiting to get right into a conflict with Iran. the consequence of Iraq shows how helpful it may well be. a minimum of Iraq allegedly had human rights violations and weapons of mass destruction that it became prohibited from having. As stupid at they may well be, I doubt the US government is dumb adequate to anticipate something different than a massacre and worldwide huge destablization from outright conflict interior the middle East. Such action would be tantamount to a admired-day campaign from the Muslim attitude. i wish that quickly all communities can lay down arms and see the follly of on-going hostilities. i do no longer see Israel making any associates in this modern conflict. it is transforming into thoroughly absurd.
