Britain Joined U.S. in "Mock" Iran Invasion

Prepping for the real thing? I see the Neo-cons are already telling us (just like Iraq) that Iran will be an easy take, a cakewalk, we'll be in and out in no time and yes, I'm sure, Iran will pay for itself (sound familiar?).

From the Guardian (UK):

British officers took part in a US war game aimed at preparing for a possible invasion of Iran, despite repeated claims by the foreign secretary, Jack Straw, that a military strike against Iran is inconceivable.

The war game, codenamed Hotspur 2004, took place at the US base of Fort Belvoir in Virginia in July 2004.
July 2004?

But Mr. Bush tells us he really, really, really wants a diplomatic solution.

Oh wait. We heard that before, too.
