- When are the American people and their representatives
in Congress and the military going to wake up and realize that the US has
an insane war criminal in the White House who is destroying all chances
for peace in the world and establishing a police state in the US?
-
- Americans don't have much time to realize this and to
act before it is too late. Bush's "surge" speech last Wednesday
night makes it completely clear that his real purpose is to start wars
with Iran
and Syria before failure in Iraq brings an end to the neoconservative/Israeli
plan to establish hegemony over the Middle East.
-
- The "surge" gives Congress, the media, and
the foreign policy establishment something to debate and oppose, while
Bush sets his plans in motion to orchestrate a war with Iran.
-
- Suddenly, we are hearing Bush regime propaganda that
there are Iranian networks operating within Iraq that are working with
the Iraqi insurgency and killing US troops. This assertion is a lie and
preposterous on its face. Iranian Shi'ites are not going to arm Iraqi
Sunnis, who are more focused on killing Iraqi Shi'ites allied with Iran
than on killing US troops. If the Iranians wanted to cause the US trouble
in Iraq, they would encourage Iraqi Shi'ites to join the insurgency against
US forces. An insurgency drawn from 80% of the Iraqi population would overwhelm
the US forces.
-
- CBS reports that the news organization
has been told by US officials "that American forces have begun an
aggressive and mostly secret ground campaign against networks of Iranians
that had been operating with virtual impunity inside Iraq." To manufacture
evidence in behalf of this lie to feed to the gullible American public,
US forces invaded an Iranian consulate in northern Iraq and kidnapped 5
consulate officials, claiming the Iranians were part of plans "to
kill Americans." In typical Orwellian fashion, Secretary of State
Condi Rice described Bush's aggression against Iran
as designed to confront Tehran's aggression.
-
- Iraqi government officials in the Kurdish province and
the Iraqi foreign minister have refused to go along with Bush's propaganda
ploy. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari announced that the Iranian
officials were no threat and were working in a liaison office that had
Iraqi government approval and was in the process of being elevated into
a consulate.
-
- The Iraqi foreign minister said that US troops tried
to seize more innocent people at the Irbil airport but were prevented by
Kurdish troops.
-
- The Kurds, of course, have been allies of the US forces,
but Bush is willing to alienate the Kurds in the interest of provoking
a war with Iran.
-
- If Bush is unable to orchestrate war with Iran directly,
he will orchestrate war indirectly by having US troops attack Iraqi Shi'ite
militias. Bush has already given orders for US troops to attack the Iraqi
Shi'ite militias, who oppose the Sunnis and have not been part of the insurgency.
Obviously, once Bush can get US troops in open warfare with Iraqi Shi'ites,
the situation for US troops in Iraq will quickly go down hill. Bush will
be able to blame Iranian Shi'ites for arming Iraqi Shi'ites that he can
say are killing US troops.
-
- Bush has also ordered the Persian Gulf to be congested
with two US aircraft carrier attack groups. There is no military or diplomatic
reason for even one attack group to be in the Persian Gulf. If Bush fails
to orchestrate a war with Iran by kidnapping its officials or by attacking
Shi'ite militias, he can orchestrate an event like the Tonkin Gulf incident
or have the Israelis pull another USS Liberty incident and blame the Iranians.
-
- The Tonkin Gulf incident was used by the Johnson administration
to deceive Congress and to involve the US in the Vietnam War. Johnson alleged
a North Vietnamese attack on US warships.
-
- In 1967 Israel attacked and destroyed the US intelligence
ship Liberty, because Liberty's
crew had picked up proof that Israel had initiated the war with Egypt and
intended to attack Syria the next day. Some have speculated that Israelis
hoped their attack on the Liberty could be blamed on Egypt and used to
draw the US into the war against Egypt.
-
- In 2003 the Moorer Commission [see here [PDF]
and <here],
headed by Admiral Tom Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and former
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, concluded:
-
- "That in attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed
acts of murder against American servicemen and an act of war against the
United States."
-
- "That fearing conflict with Israel, the White House
deliberately prevented the U.S. Navy from coming to the defense of USS
Liberty."
-
- "the Captain and surviving crew members were later
threatened with court-martial, imprisonment or worse if they exposed the
truth; and were abandoned by their own government."
-
- "That due to the influence of Israel's powerful
supporters in the United States, the White House deliberately covered up
the facts of this attack from the American people."
-
- "That a danger to our national security exists whenever
our elected officials are willing to subordinate American interests to
those of any foreign nation, and specifically are unwilling to challenge
Israel's interests when they conflict with American interests."
-
- On the 30th anniversary of Israel's destruction of the
Liberty, Admiral Moorer said that Israel attacked the Liberty because Israel
knew that the intelligence ship could intercept Israel's plans to seize
the Golan Heights from Syria, an act of Israeli aggression to which the
US government was opposed. Admiral Moorer said, "I believe Moshe Dayan concluded that
he could prevent Washington from becoming aware of what Israel was up to
by destroying the primary source of acquiring that information--the US
Liberty."
-
- Moorer reports that after a 25 minute air attack "that
pounded the Liberty with bombs, rockets, napalm and machine gun fire .
. . three Israeli torpedo boats closed in for the kill . . . the torpedo
boats' machine guns also were turned on life rafts that were deployed into
the Mediterranean as well as those few on deck that had escaped damage."
-
- Admiral Moorer says, "What is so chilling and cold-blooded,
of course, is that they [Israel] could kill as many Americans as they did
in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry."
-
- The US invasion of Iraq and the looming US attack on
Iran are proof that Israel has even more power over the White House today.
-
- Bush has many ways to widen his war in the Middle East.
His brutal aggression against Somalia has largely escaped criticism for
the war crime that it is. On January 11 the US National Intelligence Director
told Congress that Hezbollah in Lebanon may be the next US threat. Just
as he lied to the entire world about Saddam Hussein and Iraq, Bush is lying
about Iran. Bush and the Zionist neoconservatives are frantic for war
with Iran to get underway before the US Congress forces a US withdrawal
from the failed adventure in Iraq.
-
- Bush's entire "war on terror" is based on lies.
The Bush Regime, desperate to keep its lies covered up, is now trying to
prevent American law firms from defending the Guantanamo detainees. The
Bush Regime is fearful that Americans will learn that the detainees are
not terrorists but props in the regime's orchestrated "terror war."
-
- On January 13 the New York Times (editorial) said that
"Cully Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee
affairs, tried to rally American corporations to stop doing business with
law firms that represent inmates of the Guantanamo internment camp."
Stimson alleged that it was "shocking" that American law firms
were "representing detainees down there." He suggested that
when corporate America got word of if, "those C.E.O.s are going to
make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing
reputable firms. We want to watch that play out."[Round
Up The Usual Lawyers]
-
- The only reason for the Bush Regime's policy of indefinite
detention without charges is that it has no charges to bring. The detainees
are not terrorists. They are the Bush Regime's props in a fake war that
serves as cover for the Regime's hegemonic policy in the Middle East.
-
- The only action that can stop Bush is for both the Democratic
and Republican leadership of the House and Senate to call on the White
House, tell Bush they know what he is up to and that they will not fall
for it a second time. The congressional leadership must tell Bush that
if he does not immediately desist, he will be impeached and convicted before
the week is out.
-
- Can a congressional leadership that lives in fear of
the Israel Lobby perform this task?
-
- All the rest is penny-ante. Revoking the Iraqi War Resolution
as Rep. Sam Farr has proposed or requiring Bush to obtain congressional
authorization prior to any US attack on Iran simply lets Bush and his Federalist
Society apologists for executive dictatorship claim he has commander-in-chief
powers and proceed with his planned aggression. Cutting off funding
is not itself enough as Bush can raid other budgets. Non-binding resolutions
of disapproval are meaningless to a president who doesn't care what anyone
else thinks.
-
- Nothing can stop the criminal Bush from instituting wider
war in the Middle East that could become a catastrophic world war except
an unequivocal statement from Congress that he will be impeached.
-
- Bush has made the US into a colony of Israel. The US
is incurring massive debt and loss of both life and reputation in order
to silence Muslim opposition to Israel's theft of Palestine and the Golan
Heights.
-
- That is what the "war on terror" is about.
