Prairie Weather: Condi’s mission: Iran attack is on
According to Andrea Mitchell who spoke today with intelligence officials and has just revealed this in discussion, Iran is the official target and that’s why Condi is flying east today — to alert the Saudis and others.

Update: Apparently Stratfor confirms that “this latest gambit is also directed at Iran.”

According to Stratfor the goal of this is to force Iran to meet the Bush goals for a negotiation. They point out that the new troops will not be in Iraq immediately and it will give Iran time to offer a deal. Whether is accurate or will work is not at all clear.
