Wars and conflicts International USA
If you were President George W. Bush with all available US troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war with Iran?
Yes, you would.
Bush’s determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does not make sense.
First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a country approximately three times the size in area and population.
Second, Iran can respond to a conventional air attack with missiles targeted on American ships and bases, and on oil facilities located throughout the Middle East.
Third, Iran has human assets, including the Shi’ite majority population in Iraq, that it can activate to cause chaos throughout the Middle East.
Fourth, polls of US troops in Iraq indicate that a vast majority do not believe in their mission and wish to be withdrawn. Unlike the yellow ribbon folks at home, the troops are unlikely to be enthusiastic about being trapped in an Iranian quagmire in addition to the Iraqi quagmire.
Fifth, Bush’s polls are down to 34 percent, with a majority of Americans believing that Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a mistake.
If you were being whipped in one fight, would you start a second fight with a bigger and stronger person?
That’s what Bush is doing.
Opinion polls indicate that the Bush regime has succeeded in its plan to make Americans fear Iran as the greatest threat America faces.
The Bush regime has created a major dispute with Iran over that country’s nuclear energy program and then blocked every effort to bring the dispute to a peaceful end.
In order to gain a pretext for attacking Iran, the Bush regime is using bribery and coercion in its effort to have Iran referred to the UN Security Council for sanctions.
In recent statements President Bush and Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld blamed Iran for the Iraqi resistance, claiming that the roadside bombs used by the resistance are being supplied by Iran.
It is obvious that Bush intends to attack Iran and that he will use every means to bring war about.
Yet, Bush has no conventional means of waging war with Iran. His bloodthirsty neoconservatives have prepared plans for nuking Iran. However, an unprovoked nuclear attack on Iran would leave the US, already regarded as a pariah nation, totally isolated.
Readers, whose thinking runs ahead of that of most of us, tell me that another 9/11 event will prepare the ground for a nuclear attack on Iran. Some readers say that Bush, or Israel as in Israel’s highly provocative attack on the Jericho jail and kidnapping of prisoners with American complicity, will provoke a second attack on the US. Others say that Bush or the neoconservatives working with some "black ops" group will orchestrate the attack.
One of the more extraordinary suggestions is that a low yield, perhaps tactical, nuclear weapon will be exploded some distance out from a US port. Death and destruction will be minimized, but fear and hysteria will be maximized. Americans will be told that the ship bearing the weapon was discovered and intercepted just in time, thanks to Bush’s illegal spying program, and that Iran is to blame. A more powerful wave of fear and outrage will again bind the American people to Bush, and the US media will not report the rest of the world’s doubts of the explanation.
Reads like a Michael Crichton plot, doesn’t it?
Fantasy? Let’s hope so.

Why explode it out to sea? Considering the lack of fellow feeling and the callous way the troops are being misused in Afghanistan and Iraq, plus the use of DU, a known radioactive source, it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that a nuke had been exploded in some small American city, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths. Then, America would be so blinded by fear, that the nuking of Iran and martial law throughout America would be instantly approved. Unfortunately, I believe that the average American is that stupid and paranoid!

Paul, I TOTALLY believe they are planning more false flag attacks on U.S. and will probably blame Iran for them! I pray I am wrong but I don’t think so! I have been warning anyone who will listen to stock up on canned food and bottled water as FEMA is NOT going to help our asses! Look at Katrina! I HATE BUSH REGIME AND OTHERS IN CONGRESS WHO KEEP THIS CRAP UP AND ARE IN BED WITH REAL TERRORISTS! Bush regime WANTS more attacks on U.S. because he wants to become a TOTAL Dictator and be able to call out U.S. troops on our own people! I would bet my life on this! He/they and others in our gov’t were behind and involved in 9-11! I pray I am wrong about more attacks on U.S. but I don’t think so! Even good Rep. Ron Paul says there are those in our gov’t who don’t put America first but are Int’l thinking and NOT about America! I would STRONGLY URGE ALL reading this to call your Reps. and Senators and DEMAND Bush, Cheney, Condi and Rummie and John Bolton and rest of evil PNAC group to be arrested immediately for TREASON, several times over, war crimes and war profiteering too! Plus, the money going for these wars is indirectly going to fund the REAL terrorists, as Saudi’s own stock in Carlyle group who own defense contractors when more military spending goes up, Saudi’s make $$ and are KNOWN to funnel $$ to AlQueda and Bin Laden, also with Halliburton I believe, so our own tax dollars are indirectly funding terrorism! Which we MUST STOP and NOW! NOT ONE MORE DAMN DIME FOR WARS, PERIOD! IT IS BANKRUPTING AMERICA AND IS MORE SERIOUS THREAT TO U.S. THEN THE TERRORISTS ARE! I MUST take back our country and our media, and demand ALL our politicians put America FIRST, AND SCREW THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND GET GOOD PEOPLE TO RUN AGAINST NOT ONLY MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS WHO AREN’T LISTENING TO "WE THE PEOPLE" BUT ALSO GET PEOPLE TO RUN AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN LITES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE DLC ONES TOO! What we desperately need in America is a 2nd AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND NOW! I TOTALLY BELIEVE ANOTHER 9-11 ATTACK IS ON IT’S WAY, I PRAY NOT BUT I BELIEVE IT AND AS SUCH, I TELL PEOPLE TO STOCK UP ON WATER AND FOOD AND DEMAND THE WHOLE BUSH REGIME AND JOHN BOLTON AND REST OF EVIL PNAC GROUP BE ARRESTED ASAP FOR TREASON,ETC. How can I email you personally Paul, do you have an email address?

All Americans or anyone else has to see and read about is the Dubai port deal and other deals in the works with Dubai to realize that Bush regime and others are in bed with the REAL terrorists! The Alqueda for God’s sake wrote a letter in 2002 to UAE bragging about infilatrating their security. I would like to KNOWN why in hell that letter is just NOW surfacing? If you go to www.thinkprogress.org and go back in archives a little ways you can read the letter from ALqueda! I TOTALLY believe the worldwide war on "terrorism" is TOTALLY bogus and is REALLY state sponsored terrorism, meant to frighten the citizens of each nation into giving up their freedoms,etc. while being fleeced ROYALLY by RICH AND POWERFUL in SOMETIMES THEIR OWN COUNTRY, AS IN CASES OF ENGLAND, AND U.S. OR OTHER COUNTRIES HAVING U.S. TROOPS DO THE DIRTY WORK OF HELPING TO PUT IN PLACE DICTATORS THAT ANSWER TO EVIL BUSH REGIME AND WASHINGTON! LOOK AT AFGHANISTAN, NOW THERE IS A PUPPET GOV’T THERE WHO ANSWERS TO BUSH! GET A CLUE, SHEEP, BUSH REGIME AND BLAIR AND OTHERS ARE IN BED WITH REAL TERRORISTS AND ARE TRYING TO RUN THE WORLD, ALONG WITH BIG BUSINESS AND EVIL, SECRETIVE CARLYLE GROUP TOO! ALONG WITH HALLIBURTON, BOTH OF WHOM INDIRECTLY GIVE $$ TO Alqueda!

It may not be exploded at sea or in a small american city. It may very well be exploded in a large american city...either L.A., N.Y., or Detroit. The government has run through several practice scenerios of what to do if a nuke, smuggled in from one of our ports, is exploded in a major city (one of those that I mentioned). I would hope that they would try to reduce casualities and explode it at sea. If they are going to do so...I hope that is the method they will use. I believe that the individuals who orchestrated 9/11 attempted to minimize death during those attacks. For one...many people were told not to come into work that day...so there was a minimum amount of people in the buildings to begin with..secondly, the incindiary devices that collapsed the towers were a precaution against the towers toppling over sideways...instead of falling straight down. A sideways collapse of the towers would have inflicted much more death and damage than the controlled demolition we all witnessed.
