- WASHINGTON DC/LOS ANGELES -- With the direct threat of
military attack against Iran issued Aug. 13 by Bush, the world has entered
a phase of new and acute danger of general war. Bush made the threat in
an interview with Israeli television. "All options are on the table,"
said Bush, speaking from his estate in Crawford, Texas. Asked if that included
the use of force, Bush replied: "As I say, all options are on the
table. The use of force is the last option for any president and you know,
we've used force in the recent past to secure our country." (Reuters,
dateline Jerusalem, August 13, 2005)
-
- With these new threats from Bush, so reminiscent of his
2002-2003 demagogy in advance of the invasion of Iraq, there could be no
rational doubt that the US regime was in headlong flight forward towards
war with Iran.
-
- That Bush's threats were no mere throw-away lines was
shown by the blunt response just a few hours later by German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder, who in August 2002 had been the first NATO head of government
to repudiate the then-imminent Iraq war. "Take the military options
off the table, since we've seen that they are worthless," said Schroeder
in a campaign speech in Hanover. He told the newspaper Bild am Sonntag:
"I consider the military option extremely dangerous! can definitely
exclude that under my leadership this government would be a part of it."
-
- In an irony of history, Schroeder's prompt stand against
a wider war has increased the penalty for the aggression now being planned
by the Bush-Cheney regime and its backers. If the US attacks Iran before
the September 18 German elections, Schroeder might be swept back into office,
given the clear inability of his feckless opposition to resist US dictation.
When Wolfgang Schaeubele, one of Schroeder's key opponents, visited Bush,
Bush told him that "his greatest concern is Iran." However, *Bush
reassured his guest that there would be no US attack on Iran before the
German vote on September 18. (Frankfurter Rundschau, August 18)
-
- The British Foreign Office was compelled to align itself
with Schroeder's critique. The Foreign Office spokesman stated: "Our
position is clear and has been made very, very clear by the Foreign Secretary.
We do not think there are any circumstances where military action would
be justified against Iran. It does not form part of British foreign policy."
(Sunday Times, August 14, 2005) Thus, according to all present indications,
the US would go into Iran utterly alone, without even the window dressing
of a sham coalition of the bribed and the blackmailed.

-
- In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people
in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to
do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice
President Dick Cheney's office, has tasked the United States Strategic
Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in
response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The
plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional
and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major
strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program
development sites.
-
- Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground
and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option.
As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually
being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States.
Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly
appalled at the implications of what they are doing-that Iran is being
set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack-but no one is prepared to damage
his career by posing any objections.

-
- Lyndon LaRouche, on this Wednesday afternoon, issued
an international alert, covering the period of August 2005, which is the
likely timeframe for Vice President Dick Cheney, with the full collusion
of the circles of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to unleash the recently
exposed plans to stage a preemptive tactical nuclear strike against Iran.
The danger of such a mad, Hitler-in-the-bunker action from the Cheney circles
would be even further heightened, were the United States Congress to stick
with its present schedule, and go into recess on July 30 until September
4. With Congress out of Washington, the Cheney-led White House would almost
certainly unleash a "Guns of August" attack on Iran.
- (Note, Unexpectedly, Congress returned to Washington
early because of Katrina).
-
-
- It is well-known in Washington that Bush's respected
advisor, Ariel Sharon, would like Bush to strike at ALL possible threats
- present or future - to his precious State of Israel. (But "god,"
too?)
-
- GOD TOLD BUSH TO STRIKE AL QAEDA AND SADDAM! THEN STRIKE
IRAN?

- (Last paragraph excerpt only)...
-
- According to (Palestinian Prime Minister) Abbas, immediately
thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck
them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now
I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East."

-
- While President George W. Bush travels around the country
in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble
frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly
angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares
disagree with him.
-
- "I'm not meeting with that goddamned bitch,"
Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting
mother whose son died in Iraq. "She can go to hell as far as I'm concerned!"
-
- President Bush flashes the bird before going live at
the White House.Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes
into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them "motherfucking
traitors." He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars
members who wore "bullshit protectors" over their ears during
his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to "tell
those VFW assholes that I'll never speak to them again is they can't keep
their members under control."
-
- WHO GIVES A FLYING ... WHAT THE POLLS SAY!
-
- White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly
bitter over mounting opposition to his war in Iraq. Polls show a vast majority
of Americans now believe the war was a mistake and most doubt the President's
honesty.
-
- "WHO GIVES A FLYING ... WHAT THE POLLS SAY,"
HE SCREAMED AT A RECENT STRATEGY MEETING.
- "I'M THE PRESIDENT AND I'LL DO WHATEVER I GODDAMNED
PLEASE. THEY DON'T KNOW SHIT."
-
- Bush and Blair, who (treasonously) agreed to invade Iraq
EARLY in 2002 (Downing Steet Memos), followed by both falsely claiming
Iraq had imminently threatening WMD and ties to Al Qaeda - LIED both our
nations into a hideous, unnecessary war that never need have happened!
-
- Today, Bush, (with advisor Sharon - and "god"?),
are about to strike another innocent Muslim nation by using ta similar
set of false excuses used against Iraq...

-
- Excerpt only... The UN nuclear watchdog is preparing
to publish evidence that Iran is not engaged in a nuclear weapons programme,
undermining a warning of possible military action from President George
Bush.
-
- Ignoring the UN's watchdog inspectors, as they did FOUR
separate teams of inspectors in Iraq, Bush's NeoCon/Likudnik misadvisors
have already started their war on Iran...

Teams through 1998)

-
- As was the case with Iraq pre-March 2003, the Bush administration
today speaks of "diplomacy" and a desire for a "peaceful"
resolution to the Iranian question. The reality is that the US war with
Iran has already begun.
-
- The most visible of these is the CIA-backed actions recently
undertaken by the Mujahadeen el-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group,
once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working
exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations. ... to carry out remote
bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a
daily basis inside Iraq.

-
- Back to Iraq. Apparently Bush (and "god" who
instructs him) have discarded their former (false) "reasons"
for striking Iraq: the mythical WMD and ties to Al Queda, (and installing
"democracy"?).

- Now Bush tells us their latest "reason" in
his following speech,...

-
- CORONADO, Calif. - President Bush on Tuesday answered
growing anti-war protests with a fresh reason for American troops to continue
fighting in Iraq: protection of the country's vast oil fields that he said
would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists.
- Bush, standing against a backdrop of the imposing USS
Ronald Reagan, the newest aircraft carrier in the Navy's fleet, said terrorists
will be denied their goal.
- A one-time oilman, Bush has rejected charges that the
war in Iraq is a struggle to control the nation's vast oil wealth. While
Bush has avoided making links between the war and Iraq's oil reserves,
the soaring cost of gasoline has focused attention on global petroleum
sources.
