Well this is pretty convenient, no?

Iran involvement suspected in Karbala compound attack - CNN.com: "BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Pentagon is investigating whether a recent attack on a military compound in Karbala was carried out by Iranians or Iranian-trained operatives, two officials from separate U.S. government agencies said."

So, intelligence agencies are saying there ain't much to the "Iran is a threat" claim. Looks like we're gonna get a rush of "Iran is responsible for..." news articles, in much the same way in 2002 we had dozens of "the terrorists are gonna get you by land, scuba diving, crop dusters, school lunches..."

I mean, with 79% of people voting on Newsweek.com that congress should stop Bush from escalating the Iraq war, the administration has to go back to the tried and true - scaring the shit out of America. 'Cause they've demonstrated that fear is, by far, the easiest thing with which to manipulate people.
