He published this quite a while ago actually. The neocon plan has never changed. They only have to create an incident to persuade the american people, "like a new pearl harbor".

You would think another war now would be the height of stupidity,but the neocons are running out of time before they will, in all likelihood get kicked out.

Ritter points to a military buildup in the region, the so-called threats to the U.S. Navy from Iranian speed boats last week and a U.S. Senate resolution that labels elements of Iran as a terrorist organization.</p> <P>“It’s like filling up a house with gasoline and flicking matches at the door,” Ritter said. “Sooner or later it will connect.”</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/01/20/6496/"><P>His conclusion: “What’s really going on is a road map for global domination.
