That is a fascinating article, and an eye opener how
a handful of
powerful men can wield America to achieve their own
self serving agenda.

Bamford puts together a lot of stuff some of us
have seen before, but
he's a pretty good writer with a lot of facts and
an absorbing case that
Iran duped the neocons (via Chalabi) into the Iraq
invasion so Saddam
would be ousted and Iraq would fall under Iran's
control ... But that
the neocons have long been working on getting us to
invade Iran ... and
how very close we are to doing exactly that. That
is, the plan is very
much alive and in motion, witness all the reminders
of where Hezbollah
is getting weapons and money from.
In a nutshell, the ME war is going to widen,
perhaps with Syria first,
but ultimately the neocons are targeting Iran. The
article ends with a
neocon (Ledeen) saying: "Only the United States can
accomplish it," he
concluded. "There is no other way." Then you'll see
Ledeen's rebuttal to
the article, and Bamford's response to the
rebuttal.
I don't know if anyone else sees this writing all
over the wall, but
that ME war is going to expand to include at least
Iran and at most
several countries. In case anyone hasn't noticed,
we don't have the
troops to invade a country of 60 million people, so
that leaves just one
choice: nukes.
If you're like me, this whole thing has been
absolutely unbelievable
since the very beginning, yet it actually happened
anyway. Now it's
becoming clear that all we've seen so far is just a
preclude.
