Bush's Iraq exit strategy - through Iran? posted by Wally 6:50 AM Please humor me by allowing me this brief tin-foil hat moment. Reading the following three stories, I come to a pretty frightening conclusion about the ultimate intentions of the current administration. Russian Intelligence Reports U.S. Military Buildup Near Iranian Borders Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran's borders, the RIA-Novosti news agency reported on Tuesday quoting a high-ranking security source. 'The latest military intelligence data point to heightened U.S. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran,' the official said, adding that the Pentagon has probably not yet made a final decision as to when an attack will be launched. ------------------------------- War games in Gulf aim to send message to Iran American warplanes screamed off two aircraft carriers Tuesday as the Navy staged its largest show of force in the Persian Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The mammoth exercises, intended as a message to Iran, were sure to heighten tensions as that country, which frequently has condemned the U.S. military presence off its coast, faces off with the West over its nuclear program and its capture of a British naval team. ------------------------------- Despite strains, U.S. could fight a third war: Gates Defense Secretary Robert Gates cautioned on Thursday the Army would face problems without emergency funds but insisted U.S. forces could fight a third war despite being stretched in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Our ability to defend the United States despite the heavy commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan remains very strong and every adversary should be aware of that," he said. The Bush administration is being pushed into a corner on several fronts - Iraq, the Attorney scandal, the Walter Reed scandal, Katrina, etc. Like a cornered wild animal, are the people in charge (Rove, Cheney, Bush, etc) becoming desperate and dangerous? Have they been planning to invade Iran all along, and are now trying to "provoke" Iran into giving them an excuse to attack? What the fuck are they thinking? More importantly, will the Republicans in Congress join with the Democrats to stand up to them and back them down? Or will the GOP continue to blindly follow Bush like happy little lemmings as he leads the country over a cliff? I'll take off the tinfoil hat now. Permalink :: 1 comments :: Post a Comment




	Don't worry, it's not a tinfoil hat thing. I think it's very real that they've been planning these things all along. Afterdowningstreet.org reported that former General Wesley Clark was made aware of Pentagon plans in 2001 that the US wanted to invade 7 countries in five years. Bush is actually behind schedule on his World Domination Tour. As for provocation, I think that's what this whole British Navy thing is about. The US is going to "defend" their ally by retaliating against Iran. It all sounds eerily similar to the plan Bush had for sending a fake UN plane over Iraq to provoke them into firing at it thereby starting a war. I understand the need to get the little guys (Rove, Gonzales) out of the way first, but with such a nefarious group of villains in the White House I wish Congress could move a little faster. The administration is living in a world of their own making and don't care about the negative consequences of their actions. That's why I don't think withholding military budget dollars will work. These people will keep our soldiers in a war zone with woefully inadequate supplies just to prove that "nobody can tell them what to do". When that causes the death toll to soar they'll blame the Democrats for withholding money, not the criminal policy that put them there in the first place. Wow - sometimes anger is like caffeine. I should be good for the rest of the day now! posted by Blondie at 9:57 AM
