PRESIDENT George Bush has promised that if re-elected in November he will make regime change in Iran his new target.
Bush named Iran as part of the Axis of Evil along with North Korea and Iraq almost three years ago. A US government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that military action would not be overt in changing Iran, but rather that the US would work to stir revolts in the country and hope to topple the current conservative religious leadership.
The official said: “If George Bush is re-elected there will be much more intervention in the internal affairs of Iran.”
The Iranian government announced this weekend that it had successfully eradicated all al-Qaeda cells operating in the country, but the statement comes as leaked reports from the US September 11 Commission show definite links between Iran and the September 11 terrorists.
The final report from the cross-party inquiry, which is examining the origins of the September 11 attacks, is believed to contain concrete evidence of contacts between al-Qaeda and Iran.

This summer and fall, the Selective Service will test the DRAFT, down to drawing balls from a jar in a mock lottery of 20 year-olds and then sending out sample medical exam report orders to those whose birthdays got the lowest number. At the same time, the documents are being drawn up so employers can receive cheap Alternative Service Workers by July 6, 2005. The lottery itself could be in place by June 15, 2005, according to this official document spending $28 mil to reduce DRAFT ACTIVATION TIME from 193 to 75 days by March 31, 2005.
Kerry has a NO-DRAFT PLAN and will NOT invade Iran. Promise!
