Title: sick rumour or terrible truth??
Post by: gkg on May 19, 2006, 06:26:47 pm
now that we are nicely entrenched in an endless preemptive strike against someone doing not much, someone seems to have decided it\'s time to really stir the sh*t and see what he finds...  i hope it\'s false, but wholly swastika, batman, with this guy\'s recent history it seems awfully damn likely.

Update on the story:

Looks like it was a rumour (thank goodness). Copious amounts of egg on public faces. Not the first time the National Post has got it wrong, & won\'t be the last, either.  ::)

i have to wonder just how wrong... you see, i think it can go a couple different ways from the Post jumping the gun, although certainly that\'s possible too.

it could be that Iran decided to float these sorts of things out to inure people to what they ARE doing.  

it could be that the US is feeding the suspicions behind the scenes to inure people to the idea of our invading Iran.

call me paranoid... trust and politicans don\'t often mix in my mind.
