Bush Setting America up for War with Iran

Do you care, or is it inevitable? We are already fighting 2 wars. Do we want another, especially since we are losing the other two? Haven't we learned anything about this President, and his neocon handlers? Most disturbing of all, there is hardly any outcry from any politician in Washington. We can expect the press in America to do as it did leading up to the Iraq Invasion and remain silent, so we have to depend on the foreign press for the truth. Nevertheless, you were warned. Don't pretend later on that you didn't know. There is still time to stop this madman:
Senior American intelligence and defence officials believe that President George W Bush and his inner circle are taking steps to place America on the path to war with Iran, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

Pentagon planners have developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing targets in Iran, amid growing fears among serving officers that diplomatic efforts to slow Iran's nuclear weapons programme are doomed to fail.

Pentagon and CIA officers say they believe that the White House has begun a carefully calibrated programme of escalation that could lead to a military showdown with Iran.

[...]In a chilling scenario of how war might come, a senior intelligence officer warned that public denunciation of Iranian meddling in Iraq - arming and training militants - would lead to cross border raids on Iranian training camps and bomb factories.

Scenario:
Under the theory - which is gaining credence in Washington security circles - US action would provoke a major Iranian response, perhaps in the form of moves to cut off Gulf oil supplies, providing a trigger for air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities and even its armed forces.
