Think that's out of the realm of possibility?

When did that happen?

Most of the American sheeple are too stupid to do anything about it. Just as long as the government keeps giving them their entitlement programs and keeps making them feel good about themselves, and as long as American Idol isn't interrupted, they don't really care enough to do anything. And that's just the way the government wants it. Remember the Roman Emperor who spoke of bread and circuses!

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

That seems like a promise to retaliate should Israel attack. *edit* And not from the president or Khameini.

As for your second link, a blog with the basic point that "BBC lies?"

Come on Chan.

I don't think it's being presented as news. It is a commentary on news - such as the ceasefire and the words of the IAEA head. The opening line of the article really gives away that it is an opinion based piece - the words there "are disturbing signs" means that it is not fact, just a mere possibility.

Imminent?

No, the US does not want to get involved with Iran right now. The repercussions of such an attack in joint with Israel could be a problem.

Come on Chan.
I looked for a couple of quick sources with that specific information. Sure, I could have taken the time to look for other sources but these were on the first page of the Google search. Of course, I first heard these kinds of statements on television news programs a few years back.

As for "BBC lies," they're the media: of course they lie - so do all the other media outlets. They don't report news any more, they spin the news in order to get their viewers/listeners/readers to draw pre-determined conclusions.
