Are Those Drums I Hear?
Remember those minesweeper ships ordered to Iran? Add these to them:
As reports circulate of a sharp debate within the White House over possible US military action against Iran and its nuclear enrichment facilities, The Nation has learned that the Bush Administration and the Pentagon have moved up the deployment of a major "strike group" of ships, including the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower as well as a cruiser, destroyer, frigate, submarine escort and supply ship, to head for the Persian Gulf, just off Iran's western coast.
An attack or a blockade or both? Perhaps the Cheney group observed the blockade of Lebannon recently and decided that was a pretty good idea. Except of course that Iran is the number three supplier (probably number two right now because of the Iraq chaos) supplier of oil to the world.

Is it October yet? Surprise!

Or it could be that Osama Bin Laden is dead- see Le Monde see http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3216,36-816037@51-801453,0.html. The French Secret Service DGSE is putting it out that he died from Typhus. It would be very convienient for Dubya if he did 'disappear'
