British fear US commander is beating the drum for Iran strikes
' British officials gave warning yesterday that America's commander in Iraq will declare that Iran is waging war against the US-backed Baghdad government.
' A strong statement from General David Petraeus about Iran's intervention in Iraq could set the stage for a US attack on Iranian military facilities, according to a Whitehall assessment. In closely watched testimony in Washington next week, Gen Petraeus will state that the Iranian threat has risen as Tehran has supplied and directed attacks by militia fighters against the Iraqi state and its US allies.
' The Wall Street Journal said last week that the US war effort in Iraq must have a double goal.
' "The US must recognise that Iran is engaged in a full-up proxy war against it in Iraq," wrote the military analyst Kimberly Kagan.
' There are signs that targeting Iran would unite American politicians across the bitter divide on Iraq. "Iran is the bull in the china shop," said Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the Armed Services Committee. "In all of this, they seem to have links to all of the Shi'ite groups, whether they be political or military." '
Looks like the political class in Washington is ready for more war. We know the Hillary has orders to get Iran, she signed the Kyl-Lieberman Resolution, McCain loves war, and Obama is ready to do as he's told.
' By next Thursday we will know from how the Petraeus-Crocker dog and pony show plays in the US Congress and media whether the Bush Regime will commit yet another war crime by attacking Iran. '
Nixon bombed Cambodia and Lao when things went out of control in Vietnam. Kids are still killed there everyday from the "unexploded ordnance" the US left forty years ago. The "gift that keeps on giving".
Proud of our nation... are we? No? Well then let's put an end to it already!
The MSM will click their heels smartly and follow Der Fuhrer, complicit in yet another lie and war.
And it appears that the snowball's off down the hill already.
' Israel is undertaking exercises to test its capability in dealing with emergency situations.
' The five-day manoeuvres are considered as the largest and most significant in the history of Israel since its war on Lebanon in July 2006, Israeli media sources said.
' The manoeuvres covered varous government arms - the Israeli army, the local authority, health department and educational sector, putting into consideration lessons learnt from Israel's war with Lebanon in July 2006.
' The exercises include bombings, missile strikes and operations using chemical and bacteriological weapons.
' The Israeli cabinet is expected to hold a special session as part of the emergency exercises along with mini cabinet meetings for political and security affairs. '
It seems pretty clear that Israel is expecting a war. And that Bush/Cheney/McCain/Clinton/Obama are about to oblige them.
Wednesday is the propaganda offensive by Crocker and Betray-us in Washington DC.
Wednesday is the day of the Iraqi million-man march against the occupation.
I think that we Americans need a million man, woman, and child march in solidarity with the people of Iraq and Iran to show them, the world, and our enemies in Washington DC that we the people of the United States of America are opposed to the criminal aggression and occupations undertaken in our names by the war criminals in Washington DC, and that.we and the world's peoples are going to make them pay for their criminal aggressions.
