US discussing strikes on Iran

Why War with Iran: Alleged from inside the WH
http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a1204.htm
(my note: I urge everyone to read the archives of the “Voice inside the White House” from past archives at this site. But be forewarned, it will make more than you hair curl.)

“No one but Tony Blair and the neocon nuts want to see an escalation of war in the Middle East.

“There are several reasons why the Bush people want to take out Iran.

“Iran has the nerve to sell oil to the now-feared Chinese;

“Iran supplies money and weapons to the insurgents in Iraq and are arming and training anti-Saud Saudi- Arabians thus threatening the US oil connection there,

“Iran dares to sell oil to the Asians, thus depriving the US of said oil;

“Iran has been and is counterfeiting American money and if and when this ever gets pubic, there is a serious chance the dollar will collapse as international currency.; and most important,

“Iran has dared to defy the wishes of our new Emperor.

“As an aside, the Chinese, clever as always, have been heavily supporting the US economy by buying up Treasury Bills. Why? Because the US has become heavily dependant on this financial support and when the Chinese decide to cut off this aid, 9 which there is every indication that they will do) there will be a very quick economic collapse here. This is a very clever ploy and it is a bargaining chip for Beijing to play if and when it gets a good offer from other enemies of the US.

“Our people are putting stories out about a fictional “super missile” that is speed-of-light fast and cannot be interdicted. This is pure PR bullshit. The concept has been studied but is not feasible and almost everyone else knows it. The newly-sycophantic press is eagerly putting this one out all over the place but outside the US, it is considered almost as big a joke as the fictional “Star Wars” program was.

“Bush no longer wants, nor will have, any independent thought around the Monkey Palace. He replaced the very reluctant and, from his point of view, obstructionist, Powell with the ferociously butt-kissing Condi Rice. She has spent the first imperial term running all over the Beltway doing everything she can to support Bush, even though she lies through her teeth and is well aware of it. Also, it is repulsive to hear her suck up to Bush. She lavishly praises him in front of others, claiming that he is a brilliant man, which he certainly is not, and a fount of wisdom. Her favorite phrase is “Oh, you are right as usual, Mr. President!” and her conduct is very dangerous. Bush sucks up flattery and loves flatterers with an abiding passion. No one who wants to keep his or her job dares to give him information that is contrary to his beliefs or who dares to cross Fat Karl Rove in any way. One of Rove’s super-gay , joy-boy loving friends has now been elevated by Bush to a very important position but there is trouble brewing in that quarter and look for leaks to cause more rage in the Oval Office.

Queers, Likudists, Jesus Freaks and neo-fascists are all we see around here these days and the suction around the Imperial fundament sounds like a vacuum convention in full swing.”

1. A fascinating section ...

Condi reminds me of 'Grima Wormtongue', for some reason ....

2. This is the CW - not a secret. Indeed a pull down in Iraq of troop levels
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 11:19 AM by papau
will be announced after Xmas.

The point being to prepare - to have at least some manpower available - for the Spring/Summer invasion of Iran.

I do not believe that there is final decision already made to go to war - but then I did not believe the same for Iraq - and I was wrong!

Folks/media have voted for "interesting" next 4 years over peace and prosperity.

I hope it does not get too interesting. The guest worker program with no citizenship but pretend benefits for folks from Mexico will be first up in January. An interesting test of power.

Blue smoke and mirrors via Social Security will cover yet more tax breaks for the investing class.

But AWOL Bush wants a 2nd term warrior image more than anything, IMHO- and that means Iran.
