October 28, 2007 (LPAC)--"Will Bush Really Bomb Iran?" is the provocative headline on the lead story in Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times of London today. The Murdoch-owned sister daily, The Times, yesterday featured neo-Con pod-person Norman Podhoretz campaigning for a strike.

Today's article cites an emergency request to Congress from the Air Force to equip the B-2 stealth bomber to be able to carry the massive bunker buster weapon known as Big Blu, which would be used to destroy underground nuclear research facilities. A Pentagon source warns that, "This is for real now."

Murdoch's rag then provides justification for an attack: The Iranian man-in-the-street now expects an attack, and Americans expect it too. Controversy over the Iraq war is fading in America, and stability is coming to Iraq, according to Murdoch's warmongering fantasy. Gordon Brown's promise that Britain would lead the fight for tough sanctions in the UN are also cited.

Maybe it is just an elaborate game of "chicken," but Bush may do it, the Sunday Times hopefully concludes.

Perhaps even George Bush is smart enough to smell a British set-up in such manipulations. But then again, maybe not.
