1. oh, I don't think its just June
Don't we see these predictions on an almost monthly basis? I can't count the number of posts here on DU predicting that an attack on iran was imminent.

2. it seems kinda dumb
to attack a desert country in June. Wouldn't you wait until the weather cools down? I mean, we attacked Iraq in March, not July.

Oh shitTue Dec-19-06

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that youve seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we cant even say the names

They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

4. Thanks for that impressive list of events. But it just seems that any actual PLAN mentioned
was always June.

Granted not that many have leaked out of D.C., but any real mention of an ATTACK PLAN seems to have June mentioned, no matter what the year.

It's just weird to me.

And I wondered if there was any historic or religious Islamic reason someone might know.

5. Word through the grapevine via Kuwait is that SOMETHING is
about to happen - message is: WATCH THE NEWS.

Something is up. Not sure if Baghdad or Iran or WHAT.
