ADMINISTRATION TO START PR CAMPAIGN FOR IRAN WAR

"... someone in one of the leading neo-conservative institutions... summarized what he was told this way: They have "instructions" from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox (News)... It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained..."

IRAN TO HELP IRAQ
"Al-Maliki... had a warm meeting Wednesday evening with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, walking hand-in-hand with him into an ornate meeting room... Iranian support boosts al-Maliki amid Iraq's political turmoil... Iraqi and Iranian officials also sought to increase the already surging economic ties between the two oil-rich countries...
