PLEASE PLEASE READ George Bush Plans Attack Of Iran George W. Bush Lied

[PennyMan]

George Bush ordered military plans drawn up for Iran. George Bush wants to invade Iran within one year. George Bush’s plan to invade Iran consists of more than just air strikes as reported by Seymour Hersh on Sunday. A source within the Bush Administration claims George W. Bush ordered invasion plans for Iran. George W. Bush’s goal is to take control of the Middle East. George W. Bush has a plan that is not limited to only Iraq and Iran.

It appears that George Bush has learned from the past and plans to make sure no one will be around to question any military action he authorizes in the future. I was also told that Iran is on a short list of countries in the Middle East that George Bush plans to take military action against. George Bush believes he is untouchable and can take whatever action he deems necessary without being held accountable.

1. "Our Source"???

Not really disagreeing (or agreeing) that he may want to attack Iran, but I'm sick of seeing "our source" and such phrases in articles.

2. Its time for a mass media appeal to the nation with this info.

3. I am sure those plans have been made for several years. Just

like the Iraq plans. I have been gone most of the day and when I DUed I had hoped to hear news on here that a monstrous crowd had stormed the WH with pots of tar and bundles of feathers, but alas, I guess it is not true. I think we are up the proverbial creek.

6. What Hersh describes is different...

... than the contingency plans that have always been drawn up beforehand. He's talking about an effort to develop actual war plans, which, to his knowledge right now, only include air strikes. The original post suggests something a great deal more than just that, which isn't corroborated elsewhere.

As for the tar and feathers, when Hersh has been giving talks lately, he always mentions the joke that's going around Washington offices now: Condi Rice runs into Bush's office, yelling, "they're at the barricades, they're storming the walls! They're almost inside the White House compound!"

Bush says, "So? Call out the 82nd."

Rice moans, "They are the 82nd."

Cheers.

4. The Hersh article...

... referred to was five weeks ago. This article is a month old.

Who's "Huck" to have sources equal to or better than Hersh's?

Just asking.

Now, I have little doubt (more like make that no doubt) that Bush is planning something with regard to Iran. I don't think he's stupid enough to do a full-scale invasion, but if he's planning that, there will other tell-tale signs--lower-level generals departing for early retirements, grumblings from retired generals and a hell of a lot more detail from the few reporters like Hersh.

Their question about invading Iran would be with what. The Army says they have twelve divisions, and ten of them are either in Iraq, preparing to go, or packing up to come back here. Even by putting everyone we have in the Middle East and keeping them there, and emptying out the reserves, that allows perhaps a number equal to the number of personnel already in Iraq--150,000 or so, in a country with a regular and irregular force of almost 900,000.

M'self, I think the Israelis will target the reactor being built before the fuel rods go in and hope for just a diplomatic outcry from Iran--they've already done that once before in Iraq and gotten away with it--and, perhaps, the US will try to bomb some other facilities.

But, I'd need to know a lot more about this guy at s5000.com before I get excited about what he says about invading Iran.

Cheers.

5. I have to agree with you, Pun.

I think that Bush gets foam at the corners of his mouth at the thought of taking Iran. He can just feel that black gold, right under the surface of the Iranian sands, pulsating like blood in his arteries. He wants it. He knows he can pull it off.

No one can deny, he's had a spectacular string of successes.

However, this one will be a little harder to pull off. The rest of the world is moving in quickly to stop him. Russia has announced publicly (just to make sure there's no ambiguity) that it's selling missiles to Iran AND Syria. China is no doubt in the background, supplying the two countries with arms.

Stan Goff wrote that "Cheney and his cabal want to attack Iran, but they know it's too difficult, and it would be political suicide".

So it's Check Mate. Bush is reduced to bluffing, hurling threats and taunts, but he knows he can't move forward.

7. I don't think all of the above will deter an air attack...

... either by the Bushies, or by Israel. However, for all the reasons you mention, I don't think a full-scale invasion and occupation is likely.

Unless one of the neo-cons comes up with the incredibly stupid idea of putting Iraqis in uniform and using them as occupation forces in Iran. I never underestimate the simplemindedness and singlemindedness of this bunch. The real limitation is not money--Congress gives them everything they've asked for, even on absurd terms, even if it's all deficit spending--but, rather, it is bodies.

Cheers.

8. Two points:

punpirate: I would refer to those "early retirements" and "grumblings" as "purges." One of the first thing BushCo did was to purge the military. That's what dictators do, and BushCo has been doing exactly that since the stolen 2000 "election."

cliss: The Stan Goff quote about "political suicide" presumes the existence of "politics." However, the FACT of TWO stolen NATIONAL elections proves that there is NO "politics" now.

Bush can do whatever he wants to do whenever he wants to do it. He knows that. Some people do not know that yet.

9. G, thanks for the input.

I agree with you about the Old Boy having a new set of rules, which are no rules. And maybe Stan Goff is thinking in the "old mode" where he's just taking for granted that the Administration is subject to some kind of accountability, when in fact it's not any more.

It's hard to imagine, isn't it? I think after 2 centuries of living a certain way, and then having everything change. Also, this fact is swept under the rug....it's hidden. I think most people in the US don't get it yet. Outside the US is a different matter. They see what has happened.

Now as far as Bush being able to do anything he wants, I think he's still subject to limits. The rest of the world is resisting the Bush administration's naked greed and power grabs. And consider the power of the majority of the world against you. It's no small thing.

There are also financial limits to what he can do. We simply can't continue like this indefinitely. We will run out of money at some point. We cannot continue having Americans killed on an increasing scale. Our population is not at a replacement level.

We need our young people to fund Social Security for the huge cohort of baby boomers who are getting ready for retirement. Instead of protecting these people, the fools in Washington are sending them to their deaths.

The US only represents 3.8% of the world's population. Here's where the delusion really hits home: Bush thinks he can jerk around the other 96%?
