Beware the 15 of Shaban (September 9th)

Since we all know that Iranian President Ahmadinejad is a "Twelver," and that he is also big on special dates, perhaps this "Mid of Shaban," which happens to be September 9-10 on our calendar, will be the day Iran makes it's move.

Mid of Shaban is the birth date of the 12th and final imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi. It is celebrated by Twelvers on the 15th of Shaban. Many Shi'a fast on this day to show gratitude.

I know I'm borderlined obsessed over this... but I just can't shake the feeling that Iran is really up to something terrible. Since nothing happened on the 22nd of August, the date Ahmadinejad predicted his "day of happiness," except for their lame excuse for a diplomatic response to the carrots and sticks offered them in exchange for giving up their nuke program, I am guessing at another date.

Never hurts to prepare for the worst.
