COUNTDOWN TO ATTACK ON IRAN BEGINS THIS WEEK
The stage is set ~ this is build up week for attacking Iran. General Patraeus will testify before Congress laying out the pretext for war with Iran. McCain will support him and Obama and Clinton will have to acquiesce or make a political stand to protect their base. Cheney has already briefed the region, Admiral Fallon has been relieved and three Navy carrier attack groups are on station, ready and awaiting Bush's orders ~ it's the final countdown and Congress will not stop Bush: Allen L Roland
Bush's war on Iraq is about to become Bush's preemptive attack on Iran and all the pieces are in place. It's the perfect storm ! Let me summarize the six leading indicators ~
1. General Petraeus' return promises high political drama in Washington.
2. Iran to disclose new nuke 'achievements'
Iran is to disclose new achievements in its nuclear programme on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said in a press briefing in Tehran ~ thus intensifying the neocon war drums of FEAR.
3. Bush to speak about Iraq on Thursday: CNN
4. Iran to OPEC: Stop Oil Sales in Dollars:
5. War games prelude to something big?
6. Bush desperately needs a distraction from a failing Surge and a deep recession.
Bush is determined to escape any failure on his watch and pass on his debacles on Iraq and the economy to the Democrats next year. Attacking Iran is the perfect diversion and he can once again play his favorite role ~ Commander in Chief.
The stage is set ~ this is definiely build up week for attacking Iran. Once again, General Patraeus will testify before Congress laying out the pretext for war with Iran. McCain will support him and Obama and Clinton will have to acquiesce or make a political stand to protect their base. Cheney has already briefed the region, Admiral Fallon has been relieved and three Navy carrier attack groups are on station, ready and awaiting Bush's orders ~ it's the final countdown and Congress will not stop Bush.
Try calling your congressional representatives and asking them what they intend to do to stop this madness or, better yet, call Obama's Senate office. Be polite, be clear, and be brief. Let them know how you feel about the growing prospect of war with Iran, and tell them it's time for Obama to speak out loud and clear: (202) 224-2854. The price of apathy is fascism ~ and we may already be there.
