War on Iran - Sneak Attack in April

There have been "rumours" doing the rounds of the blogs lately about an impending attack on Iran by America on the 6th of April. The report that can be read here starts of with:-

WASHINGTON DC — The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.

The attack is slated to last for 12 hours, according to Uglanov, from 4 am until 4 pm local time. Friday is the sabbath in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.

Now some pundits say that the operation named, "Bite" is unusual in itself as the American Forces rarely use single word op names. Pointing out that they prefer much grander titles such as Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq).

It is also interesting to note that the US navy has begun its largest demonstration of force in the Gulf since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The exercises, just off the coast of Iran, involve more than 10,000 US personnel. Coincidence?

Then however we have the business of our servicemen being taken hostage and paraded on T.V. and made to confess to a supposed crime. We should be very concerned for our troops. Were they taken to act as a shield or act as bargaining counters?
