As the Iranian-linked Shiites take control of Iraq, more news has emerged that suggests the Bush administration may be considering attacking Iran. The Washington Post is now reporting that the U.S. has been flying surveillance drones on secret missions over Iran for the past year. The pilot-less planes have been photographing possible nuclear sites and potential weaknesses in Iran’s air defense system. The Post reports the aerial espionage is standard military preparations for an eventual air attack. The drones have been taking off from US military bases inside Iraq. Meanwhile the U.S. intelligence community has reportedly begun conducting a broad review of its intelligence on Iran. A similar review was done on Iraq ahead of the Iraq invasion two years ago.
