Barry Bonds is still one homer shy of Ruth's record. George W. Bush is at 29%.

When Richard Nixon hit below 30%, he resigned. Instead, as the Harris poll news breaks, so does a story claiming that Bush is preparing to start a war, within weeks.

Raw Story is reporting that: Concern is building among the military and the intelligence community that the US may be preparing for a military strike on Iran, as military assets in key positions are approaching readiness... According to military and intelligence sources, an air strike on Iran could be doable in June of this year, with military assets in key positions ready to go and a possible plan already on the table.

Other news organizations can be expected to confirm or deny this story in the coming days.
