You About To Nuke Iran?

The
ramp-up rhetoric to an Iran attack now issuing from the White House
is reaching an all too familiar fever pitch. Can anybody doubt that
BushCo. is preparing to attack Iran? From what we've heard before, the
White House Neocon cabal is telling us very clearly that they have planned,
and are about to execute an attack on Iran any day now. We've all heard
this same rhetoric before, which culminated in the unilateral 2003 attack,
invasion, victory declaration, subsequent occupation and ongoing torture
and masssacre, and now spiralling descent into the morass of the BushCo
forces in Iraq. The history of BushCo. tells us that, having lost its
case for multilateral action at the UN Security Council, the USA will
proceed, once again without UN sanction, to attack. This attack may
well include a nuclear
component for which they have been preparing. Two weeks
ago, British and American physicists detonated a brand new kind of nuclear
blast, "Operation
Krakatoa" in Nevada.
Do Americans really
want to be responsible for another nuclear attack??
A quick comparison of today's
swirling current of spin demonstrates clearly that America is, RIGHT
NOW, being sucked into the vortex of an imminent, mushrooming maelstrom
over Iran.
First, check out what the
Neocon architects of the Iraq quagmire, Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld,
Powell, Wolfowitz and and their quisling counterparts, Hillary Clinton
and Joe Lieberman said leading up to the Iraq-attack in this 2003 CounterPunch
compilation.
And here's the manufactured consent:

Today, Poll February 7-9 2003:
POLL QUESTION: Would you
favor or oppose invading Iraq with U.S. ground troops in an attempt
to remove Saddam Hussein from power?
Yes: 63%
No: 34%
Here's what these
same Neocons are saying NOW leading up to an attack on Iran:
~George "Newcuelar"
Bush, speaking in Afghanistan, March 1st, 2006:
BUSH: Iran must not have
a nuclear weapon. The most destabilizing thing that can happen in this
region and in the world is for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
~Condoleeza "Mushroom
Cloud" Rice, US Department of State Briefing, January 12, 2006:
RICE: We're gravely concerned
by Iran's long history of hiding sensitive nuclear activities from the
IAEA, in violation of its obligations, its refusal to cooperate with
the IAEA's investigation, its rejection of diplomatic initiatives offered
by the EU and Russia and now its dangerous defiance of the entire international
community.
~Dick "Chickenhawk"
Cheney AIPEC speech, March 7, 2006:
CHENEY: The Iranian regime
needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international
community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences. For our part,
the United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing
the irresponsible conduct of the regime. And we join other nations in
sending that regime a clear message: We will not allow Iran to have
a nuclear weapon.
~Donald "Rubberstamp"
Rumsfeld at the World Nuclear Panel Security Conference, Munich, February
4 2006
RUMSFELD: The Iranian regime is today the world's leading state sponsor
of terrorism.
The world does not want, and must work together to prevent, a nuclear
Iran.
~John "Mad Dog"
Bolton, UN Security Council debate, March 15, 2006:
BOLTON: "Every day that
goes by is a day that permits the Iranians to get closer to a nuclear
weapons capability."
~ Joe "Bush Buddy"
Lieberman CBS "Face the Nation."January 22, 2006:
LIEBERMAN: The U.S. is prepared
to deal with the Iranian nuclear crisis militarily - even if the war
in Iraq continues to require a substantial American troop commitment.
We have the most powerful military in the history of the world. We are
capable, if necessary, of continuing to pursue our aims militarily in
Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere and, if necessary, conduct a military
attack on Iran.
~Hillary "Hawk"
Clinton, Princeton, January 23, 2006:
CLINTON: I believe that we
lost critical time in dealing with Iran, because the White House chose
to downplay the threats, and to outsource the negotiations. I don't
believe you face threats like Iran or North Korea by outsourcing it
to others, and standing on the sidelines. We cannot, and should not,
must not, permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons.
And here's the manufactured
consent:
~USA "Bush Spinmeister"
Today Poll -February 14, 2006
USA TODAY POLL: Americans
not only think Iran will develop nuclear weapons but also use them against
the United States. Americans fear the Bush administration will be too
quick to order military action against Iran. 8 out of 10 respondents
predicted Iran would provide a nuclear weapon to terrorists to attack
the United States or Israel. Six out of 10 respondents said Iran itself
would deploy nuclear weapons against the United States.
Will someone please
ask Bushco these questions??: ... ... ... ... ...

~Time Out~

(Not a Joke)
With America at the brink
of unleashing unspeakable violence and terror on the world, and to fully
reflect the immense gravity of this situation, Bush's handlers must
give him the basic language coaching he needs to discuss this issue.
Here's a basic language training
lesson suggestion:
"Mr. President say the
word "new." Repeat again, "new." Goooood!! Now Mr.
President, say the word "clear." That's right, "clear."
Once again, "clear." Gooood! Now put them together, "new+clear."
No Mr. President, not "newcuelar," "new+ clear,"
Goooood!! "new+clear, again, new+clear, once more, new+clear, now
try "newclear" again, newclear, again, newclear, great!! You're
doing it!!! One more time. -Noooooooooo, NOT NEWCUELAR!!!!, OK, Mr.
President, start again...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Here's the questions:~
Mr. President, will the USA attack Iran?
Mr. President, will Israel
attack Iran?
Mr. President, will the USA
or Israel attack Iran's nuclear installations?
Mr. President, will you use
nuclear weapons of any kind in an attack on Iran?
Mr. President, will you discuss
the use of nuclear weapons on Iran, beforehand, with the American people?
Mr. President, will you warn
the people of Iran before attacking them with nuclear weapons?
Ingmar Lee believes
that Iran's intention to start selling its oil in Euros next week will
precipitate the collapse of the American economy.
