The attack on Iran may be right around the corner (boldface is my emphasis):

Baghdad - The Mahdi Army’s seven-month-long cease-fire appears to have come undone.

Rockets fired from the capital’s Shiite district of Sadr City slammed into the Green Zone Tuesday, the second time in three days, and firefights erupted around Baghdad pitting government and US forces against the militia allied to the influential Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

At the same time, the oil-export city of Basra became a battleground Tuesday as Iraqi forces, backed by US air power, launched a major crackdown on the Mahdi Army elements. British and US forces were guarding the border with Iran to intercept incoming weapons or fighters, according to a senior security official in Basra.

The US blames the latest attacks on rogue Mahdi Army elements tied to Iran, but analysts say the spike in fighting with Shiite militants potentially opens a second front in the war when the American military is still doing battle with the Sunni extremists of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Scroll further down on the first page of the article and you’ll find this:

After rockets hit the Green Zone Sunday, US commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus said the weapons had been provided by Iran.

The odds of our lunatic government of neo-crazies attacking Iran would appear to be greatly improved.

Best of luck to you in the new world that will come after.

Just a little reminder: There are three U.S. warships just off the coast of Lebanon, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.
