Bulgaria Denies Plans for "Iran Attack"
2004-10-24
Sofia News Agency: Bulgaria's Defense Minister Nikolay Svinarov refuted reports that during his October 9 meeting with US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld they have discussed possible attack on Iran.

He commented on a report of the Québecs center for alternative media claiming that at the October meeting the defense ministers from the coalition forces and the US administration have discussed a possible attack on Iran.

I can firmly say that we have not discusses such issues, Svinarov said. He pointed out that he is not aware of the plans of the US administration, saying that such plans would be illogical. What I know for sure is that we haven't discussed such issues, he underlined once again.

In an article of the Center for alternative media called "Bush Pre-Election Strike On Iran "Imminent" it was reported that the administration of the current Us president fears that he might lose the presidential battle to Democratic challenger Kerry. That was pointed as a reason for Bush to execute several attacks on Iran nuclear reactor in Bushehr and other nuclear spots.

The article claims that the operation was to take place two weeks before the November 2 elections in the US. The author of the article also says that US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the coalition allies, including Bulgaria, have discussed the attack at their October 9 meeting.

#6  And now the Bulgarian government has chosen to be on our side in the War against Islamofascism.

As to that report, two weeks before Nov 2 means we missed the planned date to attack Iran!? Ah but this is an Iranian report. Are they worried? Hehe. Maybe it's two weeks after the election? or two days? or two hours?

Faster, please.

#3  Rumsfeld could have asked that in the event a live-fire exercise occurred over Iran,would Bulgaria mind if the US used her bases for logistical support?
