Iran Strike Brewing?

Debka has a military report citing naval maneuvers in the Persian Gulf are a prelude to an attack on Iran before the election.

Our Tehran sources report that last Thursday, Oct. 26, Iranian officials were seriously rattled by a rumor that an Iranian spy plane had located the USS Boxer heading for the Persian Gulf. It prompted fears of an imminent American military assault to lift Republican prospects in the coming US midterm elections of Nov. 7.

I have two reasons for posting this; first, after reading the Debka article I saw it mentioned on Hot Air, which pointed out the chatter over this possibility.  Second, that it fit in with something I read from a trusted political analyst who speculated an attack on Iran in 2007 but he mentioned a naval blockade would come first.

Either way it looks like something is brewing.

I believe that.

I have a feeling something is going to happen early next year.
