That Headline is a distinct possibility. The policy of preemptive-strike is alive and well in the Bush Administration. In fact, the 49 page National Security Report released March 16, 2006 reaffirms that neo-conservative policy.

"When the consequences of an attack with weapons of mass destruction are potentially so devastating, we cannot afford to stand idly by as grave dangers materialize. …The place of pre-emption in our national security strategy remains the same."*

Bush mentions pre-emption in direct connection to Iran, though he cautions that all diplomatic avenues must be thoroughly explored first. Sound familiar? Apparently, despite the poor ratings this administration is pursuing the same course that led up to the “pre-emptive” war in Iraq. Lest you should forget, that war was to be over in six months.

Anything can happen.
