Path to War on Iran?

If you read the Reuters story by Louis Charbonneau, you'll discover the administration's plan for attacking Iran. First, there will be the appearance of reasonableness:

Washington will not push the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran's case to the Security Council when it meets next week and no condemnation of the Islamic republic are expected, diplomats on the 35-nation board told Reuters.

Next a deadline will be set...

But the next quarterly meeting in mid-June will differ.

... and terms will be established, which will not be satisfied.

"Ultimately only the full cessation and dismantling of Iran's fissile material production efforts can give us any confidence that Iran has abandoned its nuclear weapons ambitions," the U.S. draft position paper said.

Then the United Nations will be maneuvered into giving cover. All evidence and testimony that countradicts assertions of the need for action are to be ignored or steamrolled, including throwing a tarp over any antiwar artwork in the UN building (Claudia Winkler disputes it, but had't the "TV guys" done that sort of filming before? Wouldn't they be pretty efficient at setting up? Who is this "British diplomat?")

The draft position paper, seen in full by Reuters, shows Washington is ready to give EU-Iran negotiations until that meeting to achieve their aim. If they fail, it will renew its campaign to have the IAEA refer Iran to the Security Council.

The process to war will be helped along with a determination to sabotage diplomatic efforts:

The United States has so far refused to participate in a plan it believes is doomed to failure.

Scott Ritter says June 2 is the date selected.

Does any of this sound familiar?
