Barrett Rubin follows up on his rollout plan for an attack on Iran

from the Informed Comment Global Affairs blog,

Update to update: At DailyKos, Maccabee, under the title "We're Going to Hit Iran. Big Time" relays a phone conversation with a Marine Liaison Signal Officer on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf:

She told me we are going to attack Iran. She said that all the Air Operation Planning and Asset Tasking are finished. That means that all the targets have been chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific aircraft, bases, carriers, missile cruisers and so forth.

This on the day that the Financial Times reports that with the departure of Rove and Gonzales, "Cheney will now be unchallenged."
