Will US Allow Bush To Bomb Iran Soon?

Comment by Larry Ross, July 29, 2007

Dr Frank gave us an important insight into the mental workings and decision-making of George Bush (below). Unless impeachment proceedings begin very soon, Dr Frank predicts Bush will attack Iran. It is not so much a matter of Bush deciding not to take this course, as the US Congress deciding to stop him before he can do it, and/or the US military deciding not to implement a Bush command to strike Iran, because their loyalty to the US Constitution trumps Bush commands.

Unfortunately both possibilities are not strong and Bush has surrounded himself with yes men who will obey his every command.

I will mention other important factors which strengthen Dr Frank's analysis and prediction. They are:

(1) Dangers of Fundamentalism  As a born-again Christian Fundamentalist Bush believes he is in communication with God and that his inspirations and decisions are approved by God. That helps explain his immunity and distain for criticism and enduring optimism in the face of severe setbacks. With God on his side he can't be wrong. Also, Bush favours 'End Times' fundamentalism, which welcomes a final battle between 'good and evil', and a fiery end to this world. This is followed by the 'Rapture' of the faithful to heaven and perpetual burning in hell for all others. 'End timers' may be a minority, but they are a rich, dedicated minority working and tithing to achieve the final Armageddon they believe is prophesied in the Bible. Fundamentalists are Bush's people. He loves them and they love him because they believe he is God's agent sent to the world to implement God's will. Constant re-enforcement and pressures from this sector helps strengthen Bush's resolve to make war on Iran . Religion and Bush is a subject that most people and the media avoid because it seems too nutty to take seriously. Also, the media don't like to criticise religious piety, however it may be expressed, particularly if it is rich, powerful and enjoys the blessing of the President.

(2) A second factor is the basic plans of Bush's neocon administration. The wars on Iraq and Iran, which were condemned as 'Axis of Evil' states by Bush, were planned before he took office in 2000. The 2001 attacks enabled the implementation of Bush-neocon plans and wars. From 2001, Bush could do as he pleased Plans for US military domination of space and imperial conquest of the world are also very much part of the neocon agenda Seeming set backs to the Bush Administration, as mentioned by Dr Frank, may be part of the desired chaos. If Bush seems optimistic it may be because his neocon plans and consequent chaos are proceeding as expected. His war with Iran decisions may have already been made and no longer be a subject for debate and discussion. So long as Bush and his neocons are not actually prevented from exercising power, they will likely continue to implement their plans. Although there is some public opposition, Congress continues to fund his illegal wars and accept his assumptions. They know but never question Bush's litany of lies to justify these wars. Most Americans, the media and Congress accept and repeat his new list of lies making the case for a war with Iran. They are conditioned and ready for the war as indicated in the following article:
US Republicans Favour Iran Nuclear Strike

(3) A third factor is how Bush plans to sell the disillusioned public and get them to support a war (perhaps nuclear) with Iran. The US Congress gave Bush the power to initiate pre-emptive nuclear war on his own authority. He doesn't need Congressional or public approval. If the war becomes God's final Armageddon, then 'He' will be responsible for the result - not Bush who is only acting our his 'divine' guidance. Once it is started then there will be no going back. A nuclear war can quickly escalate to a World War III holocaust and end humanity. Bush knows he won't have to worry about public opinion in that event. With the other faithful, Bush believes he will be raptured to heaven.

A less likely result is that a US nuclear attack does not trigger a nuclear World War III. If the US succeeds in conquering Iran, and murdering millions, Bush may have a plan that gives him a hero status with the American public and a longer reign as a revered, far-seeing American dictator President and saviour. As Republican Paul Craig Roberts and many others predict:

False Flags May Start Iran War and Bush Dictatorship   - a comment by Larry Ross, July 19, 2007
Paul Craig Roberts knows what's really happening and likely to happen in Washington . He was a top official in the Reagan Administration and assistant editor of the Wall Street Journal. His dire warnings about the disasters to follow if Bush, Cheney and others are not impeached should be a spur to action.
All the indications are for a US war on Iran and all the machinery is in place for Bush to declare a crisis situation and make the US his dictatorship.
Of particular importance is Roberts warnings that Bush will stage a 'false flag' covert attack on the US and then blame Iran as a justification for war and a US dictatorship.
Impeach Now or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy - by Paul Craig Roberts, July 17, 2007
Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran .
Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of "executive orders" that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency. Recent statements by Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff, former Republican senator Rick Santorum and others suggest that Americans might expect a series of staged, or false flag, "terrorist" events in the near future.

Bush Empire Policies provides more details.

Bush may see unfolding before him either a heavenly rapture and reward in heaven, or a glittering future on earth as a revered dictator-president of an America that has become conqueror of the world. It's a huge risk, but not to a Christian Fundamentalist who believes that only God (and his agents) will bring on a final Armageddon. This is welcomed as a form of fulfilment.

I know this scenario sounds very crazy. But look at the facts, do some research and draw your own logical conclusions.

Dr Frank has done that and hopefully opened up a whole new dimension of the problem we all face Let us hope that this motivates more people to help by participating or financing to: Do-It-Yourself Impeachment

Dangers of a Cornered George Bush

by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity & Dr. Justin Frank , July 27, 2007

The “new” strategy of surging troops in Baghdad has simply wasted more lives and bought some time for the president. His strategy boils down to keeping as many of our soldiers engaged as possible, in order to stave off definitive defeat in Iraq before January 2009.

Bush is commander in chief, but Congress must approve funding for the war, and its patience is running out. The war – and the polls – are going so badly that it is no longer a sure thing that the administration will be able to fund continuance of the war.

There is an outside chance Congress will succeed in forcing a pullout starting in the next several months. What would the president likely do in reaction to that slap in the face?

What would he do if the Resistance succeeded in mounting a large attack on U.S. facilities in the Green Zone or elsewhere in Iraq? How would he react if Israel mounted a preemptive attack on the nuclear-related facilities in Iran and wider war ensued?

Applied Psychoanalysis

The answers to such questions depend on a host of factors for which intelligence analysts use a variety of tools. One such tool involves applying the principles of psychoanalysis to acquire insights into the minds of key leaders, with an eye to facilitating predictions as to how they might react in certain circumstances.

For U.S. intelligence, this common-law marriage of psychoanalysis and intelligence work dates back to the early 1940s, when CIA's forerunner, the Office of Strategic Services commissioned two studies of Adolf Hitler.

We call such assessments “at-a-distance leader personality assessments.” Many were quite useful. VIPS found the 2004 book Bush on the Couch, by Washington psychiatrist Justin Frank, MD, a very helpful assessment in this genre. We now have two more years of experience of observing Bush closely.

As we watched the pressure build on President Bush, looked toward the additional challenges we expect him to face over the next 18 months, and pondered his tendency to disregard the law and the Constitution, we felt very much in need of professional help in trying to estimate what kinds of decisions he is likely to make.
