Iran In The Crosshairs

Here's a very unsettling news post:
A leading Russian analyst close to the government of President Vladimir Putin said the Bush administration has been preparing a major air strike against Iran... Preparations to strike Iran's strategic facilities continue," Col. Gen. Leonid Ivashov, president of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, said.
According to the general, "Three major groups of U.S. forces are still in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Altogether, they have up to 450 cruise missiles on alert."

Ivashov said the U.S. campaign would target command centers, air defense batteries, naval vessels and air bases, the identical strategy used on Iraq. In the second stage, the general said, the U.S. military would target Iran's nuclear facilities.

"Nuclear facilities may be secondary targets," Ivashov said.

Well duh... the whole thing is a plot to prevent Iran's development of nukes that would supposedly be used on Israel.

Then he slides into the usual end-of-the-world scenario we Americans are so used to hearing:
Ivashov said Iran could respond by firing the Shihab-3E intermediate-range missile toward Israel. He said this could result in Israeli nuclear retaliation.
Which--of course--will trigger WW3.

I escaped from her arms, and ran home and seized the glasses and bounded dexamethasone back again to Preciosa.. After Uncle zoloft Billy had won the only jack-pot deserving of the name, he was allowed to go blissfully to sleep with his hand on the handle of the big jug.. and he is surprised that so much attention is devoted in it to the sexual feelings of the child, coumadin which makes him think of me.. He examined my disordered eye with much gentleness and diflucan skill, informed me that I had a drop in it, and (whatever a drop was) took it out, and afforded me relief.. But I'm glad to see you, even if I can't zyrtec remember you.. Oh, I say, Major Talbot, he exclaimed frankly, don't prednisone you be offended.. The determinations for its realization consist in the fact that repressions have taken place, and clindamycin that the suppressed emotional wishes shall become sufficiently strong.. But don't you think they're nice people? calcium asked my wife.. The dream content diflucan consists chiefly of visual scenes; hence the dream ideas must, in the first place, be prepared to make use of these forms of presentation.. There is a sort of allegra preliminary explanation to be strengthened by interpolations and slight alterations...

I sure hope you have survived that drug-induced ramble.
