Thread: Bomb Iran? What's to Stop Us?

Bomb Iran? What's to Stop Us?
By Ray McGovern
June 19, 2008

It’s crazy, but it’s coming soon – from the same folks who brought us Iraq.

Unlike the attack on Iraq five years ago, to deal with Iran there need be no massing of troops. And, with the propaganda buildup already well under way, there need be little, if any, forewarning before shock and awe and pox – in the form of air and missile attacks – begin.

This time it will be largely the Air Force’s show, punctuated by missile and air strikes by the Navy. Israeli-American agreement has now been reached at the highest level; the armed forces planners, plotters and pilots are working out the details.

Emerging from a 90-minute White House meeting with President George W. Bush on June 4, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the two leaders were of one mind:

“We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. I left with a lot less question marks [than] I had entered with regarding the means, the timetable restrictions, and American resoluteness to deal with the problem. George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on that matter before the end of his term in the White House.”

Does that sound like a man concerned that Bush is just bluff and bluster?

A member of Olmert’s delegation noted that same day that the two countries had agreed to cooperate in case of an attack by Iran, and that “the meetings focused on ‘operational matters’ pertaining to the Iranian threat.” So bring ‘em on!

A show of hands please. How many believe Iran is about to attack the U.S. or Israel?

You say you missed Olmert’s account of what Bush has undertaken to do? So did I. We are indebted to intrepid journalist Chris Hedges for including the quote in his article of June 8, “The Iran Trap.”

We can perhaps be excused for missing Olmert’s confident words about “Israel’s best friend” that week. Your attention – like mine – may have been riveted on the June 5 release of the findings of the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding administration misrepresentations of pre-Iraq-war intelligence – the so-called “Phase II” investigation (also known, irreverently, as the “Waiting-for-Godot Study”).

Better late than never, I suppose.

Oversight?

The U.S.: "Government of AIPAC, by AIPAC and for AIPAC!!!!!"

Is there something wrong with the idea of bombing Iran?

Two questions, FfA:

1. What has Iran done to the U.S. to deserve being bombed?

2. When, if ever, are we going to have a government which is not controlled by AIPAC?

Food for thought!

The Hostage Game from 1979.
Their continued support of international terrorism ever since.
They're building a nuclear bomb.
They talk funny.

Don't we need to get a government controlled by the ASPCA before we can begin wondering when we'll stop having a government controlled by them?

Well, I didn't know Artificial Intelligence had evolved to the point where it needed a PAC.

Ms. Pacman is probly forcing the issue.

Not necessarily, but it is to praise Adolf Hitler.
