War With Iran?

There seems to be an increasing amount of rumor and talking points surrounding this possibility in the past week. Has anyone seen this Times of London piece about the Pentagon's plan for a three-day blitz against Iran, designed to take out not just their alleged nuclear facilities but their entire military? And why is this being reported only in the UK press and not anywhere in the American mainstream media? So plans are drawn up. Whether this scenario or a similar version of events unfolds in the final eighteen months of this unmitigated nightmare called the Bush presidency, we should expect more sabre-rattling and drum-beating from all the usual suspects. But can anyone say this is not totally and criminally insane?
