Bush Is About To Attack Iran -
Why Can’t Americans See It?

The American public and the US Congress are getting their backs up about the Bush Regime’s determination to escalate the war in Iraq. A massive protest demonstration is occurring in Washington DC today, and Congress is expressing its disagreement with Bush’s decision to intensify the war in Iraq.

This is all to the good. However, it misses the real issue ­ the Bush Regime’s looming attack on Iran.

Rather than winding down one war, Bush is starting another. The entire world knows this and is discussing Bush’s planned attack on Iran in many forums. It is only Americans who haven’t caught on. A few senators have said that Bush must not attack Iran without the approval of Congress, and postings on the Internet demonstrate world wide awareness that Iran is in the Bush Regime’s cross hairs. But Congress and the Media ­ and the demonstration in Washington ­ are focused on Iraq.

What can be done to bring American awareness up to the standard of the rest of the world?

In Davos, Switzerland, the meeting of the World Economic Forum, a conference where economic globalism issues are discussed, opened January 24 with a discussion of Bush’s planned attack on Iran. The Secretary General of the League of Arab States and bankers and businessmen from such US allies as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates all warned of the coming attack and its catastrophic consequences for the Middle East and the world.

Writing for Global Research, General Leonid Ivashov, vice president of the Academy on Geopolitical Affairs and former Joint Chief of Staff of the Russian Armies, forecasted an American nuclear attack on Iran by the end of April. General Ivashov presented the neoconservative reasoning that is the basis for the attack and concluded that the world’s protests cannot stop the US attack on Iran.

There will be shock and indignation, General Ivashov concludes, but the US will get away with it. He writes:

"Within weeks from now, we will see the informational warfare machine start working. The public opinion is already under pressure. There will be a growing anti-Iranian militaristic hysteria, new information leaks, disinformation, etc.... The probability of a US aggression against Iran is extremely high. It does remain unclear, though, whether the US Congress is going to authorize the war. It may take a provocation to eliminate this obstacle (an attack on Israel or the US targets including military bases). The scale of the provocation may be comparable to the 9/11 attack in NY. Then the Congress will certainly say ’Yes’ to the US president."

The Bush Regime has made it clear that it is convinced that Bush already has the authority to attack Iran. The Regime argues that the authority is part of Bush’s commander-in-chief powers. Congress has authorized the war in Iraq, and Bush’s recent public statements have shifted the responsibility for the Iraqi insurgency from al-Qaeda to Iran. Iran, Bush has declared, is killing US troops in Iraq. Thus, Iran is covered under the authorization for the war in Iraq.

Both Bush and Cheney have made it clear in public statements that they will ignore any congressional opposition to their war plans. For example, CBS News reported (Jan. 25) that Cheney said that a congressional resolution against escalating the war in Iraq "won’t stop us." According to the Associated Press, Bush dismissed congressional disapproval with his statement, "I’m the decision-maker."

Everything is in place for an attack on Iran. Two aircraft carrier attack forces are deployed to the Persian Gulf, US attack aircraft have been moved to Turkey and other countries on Iran’s borders, Patriot anti-missile defense systems are being moved to the Middle East to protect oil facilities and US bases from retaliation from Iranian missiles, and growing reams of disinformation alleging Iran’s responsibility for the insurgency in Iraq are being fed to the gullible US media.

General Ivashof and everyone in the Middle East and at the Davos globalization conference in Europe understands the Bush Regime’s agenda.

Why cannot Americans understand?

Why hasn’t Congress told Bush and Cheney that they will both be instantly impeached if they initiate a wider war?

  • Iran is the problem. The bombs going off in Iraq are not fire crackers, they are sizable explosive devices. They come from Iran. It is in Iran’s best interest to get us to leave. They could then simply walk in and take over. When Bush landed on the carrier and declared that the major fighting was over, Iran was gearing up. The war with Iran has already started, the front lines however, are still in Iraq. By the way, do you still like to drive your car? Hello!

    • by the way in 1900 1/3 of all cars manufactured were electric. the women simply did not want to pull the burdensome crank to start them. since then many advancements have been made.you could be driving a solar powered electric vehicle, we have the technology , they work very well, but heres the reason you want be. 0 costs for maintenance and 0 cost to operate. need i elaborate further?

    • You and your wife would look mighty silly driving esentially a 1900 solar powered car today. The automobile business is a worldwide enterprise. Worldwide manufacturers offer products to a market that is interested in buying those product. Your statement is nothing more than a well intended dream. It is simply not where it is at. Addtionally, it is a lot more than auto fuel. We live in a hydrocarbon envronment that includes plastics, textiles, chemicals etc. Our very life depends on OIL!

  • I think Bush and Cheney are preoccupied with leaving us behind. The Apocalypse is meant to trigger Jesus’ Second Coming. So naturally all the Christians want to see all the End Times bloodshed, which is basically the Crusades done over.

    P.C. Roberts is a fine writer and his article recognizes the flaw among Americans to not question what they are told. This is odd considering just how independent Americans like being.

    I don’t know if we will have war with Iran. Cheney and Bush would like to start something off. Clearly any terror strike between now and the late spring would be a false flag operation; there’s no way Iran or any terrorist would encourage the counterstrike.

    The mil-ind complex is feeding off of Iraq and pleasantly connected. And the Senate is barking at Bush, it may have the guts to do more. The top priority for Bush is to get the price of oil up, but not too far or fast. If the Saudis can’t control the security environment, instability might spread.

    Iranian overtures have been rejected; after all it is a sponsor of terror. Anything Iran does will be interpreted as an act of aggression against the US. Their best bet to head off an attack is to do a backroom deal to accept some level of claim by the US to Iraq’s oil. Perhaps profit-sharing will keep the Sunnis in line.

    Unfortunately Iran is extending its influence (predicted and predictable, some have said.) There is no way for the US to use the democratic system it instilled to prevent a rise of Iranian influence. And unfort for the US, the situation in Iraq will explode if it attacks.

    A limited conventional strike won’t purge the weapons. As we approach high noon, it may make sense for the Iranians to talk. However, if it is like Iraq, they are in fact being set up.

    If the US attacks, Israel really does set US policy. It’s unclear how far Congress will go to prevent from becoming a useless debating society. Bush has no respect for them. They—like Iraq and all the little people—are meant to be used to further their global aspiration of glorious victory over the Muslims. Bush and Cheney do believe they are fighting God’s war, but unlike the "terrorists" they aren’t willing to sacrifice themselves, others do their fighting for them.
