Is US planning another attack?
I just got this from a colleague, has anyone heard about this?

Subject: Is US planning to attack another country?


From: the Peacewatchers at USAFs Fairford and Welford bases in the UK

Since Saturday, people in the Highlands of Scotland have been
witnessing large movements of US warplanes overhead. Experienced
observers say the large numbers are reminiscent of those that preceded
the bombing of Iraq in 1998 and military strikes on Libya in the1980's
as well as the first Gulf War.

At the weekend warplanes were flying over at a rate of roughly one
every 15 minutes. As well as watching them from the ground the plane
spotters have also been able to overhear pilots talking by listening
to their radio frequencies.

At this rate some 288 warplanes would have passed over Scotland in
three days.

It is thought that the planes have flown on a route from the US over
the north pole to bases in Europe and the Mediterranean. The size and
scale of the movement suggests that the US may be preparing to strike
at a country in the Middle East in the next week to ten days.

Please pass this information on as widely as possible- the US may be=
planning to use the pretext of "foreign" terrorist attacks on US
personnel in Iraq to attack Iran or Syria. Please alert any
sympathetic elected representatives, media representatives and other
sympathetic organisations. Publicising this military movement may
prevent the air-strikes.

1. Already posted, but bears watching
Yes, we will attack Syria next year; look for it in the late summer, so as to allow GWB to wrap himself in the flag. Until then, no. Too many fundraisers to attend. That's my prediction. Let's see in August 2004.

2. Syria is getting braced for something
Reserves have been called up. I used to believe even Bush couldn't be this insane, but I'm beginning to think he really is drunk on blood like a pit bull.

3. There is also buzz about 7-800 air traffic controllers and

a bunch of other stuff that would do a much bigger aerial bombing campaign than they'd need for Syria, so the whisper is Iran, but today, CNN was making noises about massive attacks on Iraqi civilian areas, so I am thinking maybe they just intend to depopulate it more.

Or Afghanistan, even. Both are having problems seizing resources that could be solved by depopulation.
