Rumblings of a push on Iran

From the way this is written, you should probably put it more in the "rumors" category, but still add it to the growing pile of evidence that a political push for war with Iran is coming.
American diplomats have been ordered to compile a dossier detailing Iran's violations of international law that some fear could be used to justify military strikes against the Islamic republic's nuclear programme.

Members of the US secretariat in the United Nations were asked earlier this month to begin "searching for things that Iran has done wrong", The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

Oh, and then there's this, unsourced and unsubstantiated, but interesting.
Concern is also growing in the CIA and the Pentagon that the White House exaggerated intelligence used to justify an Israeli air raid on a suspected nuclear facility in Syria earlier this month, which some neo-conservatives hope is a precursor to war with Iran.

The only people saying nuclear are those who want to attack Iran.

  • I suppose the trick will be getting approval from Congress. Demonization is probably the way to go....worked last time.

  • Threat. Extorting Congressmen over security before the election.

    "Congressman X doesn't think it's big deal that Iran has a nuclear weapon pointed at you...."

    Again, worked last time.
