What PNAC wants, PNAC gets --- Zarqawi, Iran and Tinfoil

The “diplomacy” angle is just a ruse…..Iran is on the PNAC Hit List and what PNAC wants, PNAC gets. They staged 911 to get to Iraq and they’ll stage something else to get to Iran. They’ll cleverly paint the military honchos into a corner so there’s no choice but to do their bidding.

Bush Said To Be Seeking “Persian Gulf Incident"

Remember the Maine? Remember the Maddox? US military leaders now fear that a copycat Cuban or Tonkin Gulf incident will be either faked or provoked sometime soon in the ship-clogged Persian Gulf.

Once an Iranian attack on a US-flagged tanker or warship is announced, US commanders could be ordered to “counter-attack” with all available force—including nuclear weapons. Even if they suspected a ruse, no serving soldier can fail to protect his or her comrades. Any grunt or general who refused such a “go” command would risk immediate courts-martial, and charges of treason in a time of war. ]

Considering the timing, suspicious circumstances and ever-changing official story surrounding Zarqawi‘s death, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if They use it to their advantage by staging an attack on one of our ships in the Gulf, blaming it on "insurgents" bent on revenge, and somehow tying it to Iran. Nothing happens by accident or coincidence with the * Cabal, nor do they let “opportunities” get past them.

Tinfoil or prescient?

I heard that this week.

I knew USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Enterprise were headed for the Western Pacific and Middle East to join the USS Ronald Reagan already operating in the Gulf. Is this type of naval presence SOP?

they don't need Zarquawi to attack Iran. Specially when this later one officially despised and attacked Iran and killed Shiites.

the nuclear story was sufficient. But the US has changed its policies against Iran recently. It might even been so that it is the Iranians that turned in Zarquawi to get a better nuclear deal.

Indymedia isn't a reliable source

Jordanian intelligence believes Iran encouraged Zarqawi to organize violent resistance to the American occupation of Iraq.

...while high-level Iranian-government backing for al-Zarqawi is not substantiated, U.S. intelligence can't rule out the possibility that he might have "friends here and there."

Watch this morph into "Iran sponsors terrorists" if an "Event" occurs in the Gulf.

In a recent audio message, Zarqawi not only attacked the US and the Sh'ite-dominated government in Iraq, but also Iran. He had even claimed that the US, Iran and Shi'ites in general were collaborating to destroy Islam. He has also plainly called for continued attacks against Shi'ites and called Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani an "an atheist".

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what excuse * uses when he decides to add Iran to his "Mission Accomplished" list.

And you can start a new career as a soothsayer. It's coming.

the bait. Trouble is, I think the Iranians want it badder than we do.

Betcha this one backfires. It will cost the GOP the congress. Don't they ever learn?

Nobody is really doing anything about it...democracy is in a coma at this point...

Iran has been quietly restructuring its military, while carrying out a series of military exercises testing its new military dogma. In December, more than 15,000 members of the regular armed forces participated in war games in northwestern Iran's strategically sensitive East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan border provinces that focused on irregular warfare carried out by highly mobile and speedy army units.

In another telling development, a second exercise was launched in the majority-Arab province of Khuzestan, reportedly aimed at quelling insurgencies in areas subject to ethnic unrest and prone to foreign influence. Involving 100,000 troops, the exercise provided a taste of how the Islamic Republic would respond to further disturbances in the strategic, oil-rich province.

The exercise came on the heels of news that the irregular Basij forces that led Iran's offensives against Iraq were being bolstered by so-called Ashura battalions with riot-control training.

It is all part of a fundamental transition that Iran's Revolutionary Guard (RG) is undergoing as it moves away from focusing on waging its defense of the country on the borders - unrealistic in view of the vast territory that requires securing and the gulf separating Iranian and US military capabilities - and toward drawing the enemy into the heartland and defeating it with asymmetrical tactics.
