Can war be far behind?

With the lastest information coming from "Senior US defence officials in Baghdad" it appears some in the Bush administration are setting the stage for an attack on Iran.

From The Independent:

The officials speaking in Baghdad used aggressive rhetoric suggesting that Washington wants to ratchet up its confrontation with Tehran. It has not ruled out using armed force and has sent a second carrier task force to the Gulf.

"We assess that these activities are coming from senior levels of the Iranian government," said an official in Baghdad, charging that the explosive devices come from the al-Quds Brigade and noting that it answers to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader. This is the first time the US has openly accused the Iranian government of being involved in sending weapons that kill Americans to Iraq.

Notice how the quotes are from unnamed sources so that "plausible deniability" can be used by the Bush administration.

We've got to stop this madness now!
