They're really quite crazy at Bush & Co. And the story about "the decision hasn't been made" was the same one we got before the Iraq invasion.

"Target Iran: US able to strike in the spring."

"Robert Gates, the new US defence secretary, said yesterday: "I don't know how many times the president, secretary [of state Condoleezza] Rice and I have had to repeat that we have no intention of attacking Iran."

But Vincent Cannistraro, a Washington-based intelligence analyst, shared the sources' assessment that Pentagon planning was well under way. "Planning is going on, in spite of public disavowals by Gates. Targets have been selected. For a bombing campaign against nuclear sites, it is quite advanced. The military assets to carry this out are being put in place."

"He added: "We are planning for war. It is incredibly dangerous."

Bush is consistent, though. He NEVER tells the truth. I think he's way, way too out of touch with reality to know the truth.
