House OKs Pre-emptive U.S. Attack Against Iran

"Undeterred by the results of pre-emptive war in Iraq, the House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution May 6 authorizing pre-emptive military strikes against Iran. The vote was 376-3. . . .
House members said the legislation is in line with the Bush Doctrine of preventive war, and creates a legal framework for later sanctions and “military options” against Iranian nuclear sites. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Pete Stark (D-Calif.) both condemned the bill, noting its similarity to the law that permitted a preemptive war on Iraq.
The bills’ adoption capped a year of anti-Iranian efforts in Congress. . . .
British and American intelligence and special forces units have been put on alert for an Iran conflict within 12 months, according to British news sources. Also. the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz recently revealed that a special Mossad unit has been activated to draw up “Osirik II” (a reference to the 1981 Israeli bombing raids that destroyed the Osirak nuclear complex near Baghdad).
Mossad chief Meir Dagan declared Iranian nuclear capability to be the greatest threat ever faced by Israel. In December 2003, he informed the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that an operation to annihilate Iran’s facilities had been finalized."
