US Provocation and Attack on Iran Soon

Comment by Larry Ross, March 23, 2007

Karen Kwiatkowski is an ex-US Air Force Lieut. Colonel and a very perceptive well informed writer on real US military objectives and policies.

Her warnings of a US attack on Iran soon, after staging some kind of provocation that can be blamed on Iran as an excuse, must be taken seriously.

My own view, as readers know from my previous articles, is that the US will stage a 'false flag' allegedly terrorist attack on the US like 9/11, for which Iran will be blamed, to provide Bush with the kind of serious excuse he needs to get public and Congressional support for a nuclear attack on Iran. 

Unless the US public is forewarned about what false flags are, and that the US and many other governments have used such evil plots to fool their publics to support wars throughout history, Americans will be fooled again.

One of the major tasks for those wishing to prevent a very large war, is to learn about "False Flag Operations" and forward articles you judge are appropriate to friends, groups, politicians, and especially Americans and American politicians. You can start with a Google search of "False Flag Operations". Also see our site for False Flag Covert Operations. If you become knowledgeable about this evil war technique and communicate it to others, it may be possible to stop the Bush war machine. But time is running out, and the matter is very urgent.

Our Mad Mad Mad Mad Vice President Speaks

by Karen Kwiatkowski, March 19, 2007

The Cheney speech to AIPAC – reassuring militant rightwingers in Israel and the US that America is leaning forward on Iran, and that we are never leaving Iraq – was filled with honesty and conviction, and gives us a clear window into the administration's thinking.

Cheney's description of terrorists is somewhat emotional and overblown. Calling them "freedom's enemies," he comes dangerously close to describing this administration's id. His emphasis on one-side's victims in last summer's war with Lebanon, and his proud silence on the thousands killed, injured, made homeless and jobless by American weaponry is also understandable as he speaks to the AIPAC audience. His "three myths" on Iraq and the so-called war on terror are sermons to a choir that raises its voice demanding America be not a policeman in the Middle East, not an inspiration, but a blustering and imbecilic bodyguard.

But the real truth in Cheney's speech is found in his sense of urgency. Cheney exhorts Congress to remember 9-11 and damns it for failing to subsume its every decision to the maintenance of the administration's cultural mythology of that day. He rails at the idea of time limits in Iraq, and suggests that debate in Washington on the role, objectives and cost of our militarism in the Middle East is counterproductive and allows the "enemy" to "watch the clock and wait us out."

But it is Cheney – not al Qaeda – who is watching the clock now.  This former Secretary of Defense understands only too well that the deployment of two battle groups in the Persian Gulf, and the onset of this year's "spring offensive" in Afghanistan both point to a ticking clock – second-generation shock and awe forces require many months of planning, and a massive logistics tail to support even a short-lived coordinated attack.  The clock is indeed ticking, and nothing must get in the way of that.  It is not ticking for the occupied Palestinian territories, nor the fractured and dazed Iraqis living out some kind of neo-colonial nightmare.  Those efforts are perfectly on track, as hoped for, and AIPAC completely understands this.
