NEW YORK - The George W Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months, an informed source tells Asia Times Online, echoing other reports that have surfaced in the media in the United States recently.

This story was originally reported in the Israeli press two weeks ago, right after Bush's visit.

Congress seems to understand the seriousness of this possibility.

So, in a few short months, we'll find out if this is tinfoil hat stuff, or reality ... and either way, we'll go back to watching "American Idol" reruns and putting our houses up for sale.

UPDATE: Here's some information about negotiations with Iran to help stabilize Iraq.
