Will Israel Pull America Into Another Quagmire in Iran

It appears that GW Bush is once again going to allow Israel to pull America into another quagmire in two areas, in Iran and possibly in the Syria/Lebanon region.

Let me state as I did months ago, if America or Israel attacks Iran, they will not succeed in doing anything but stirring up another mess in the Middle East. There is no way Israel can conquer Iran, nor can America. This week a military investigation team in the U.S. stated that the American military is stretched too thin and is unable to function properly because of that.

What can America possibly gain from an attack on Iran? Iran has made clear, as its allies, Russia and China, that it is going to make nuclear use for civilian consumption—even the head of the IAEA, Dr. Mohammed Al Baradei has made clear that there is no conclusive evidence that Iran is preparing to make nuclear weapons with its facilities. Yet, Bush and his team of liars keeps telling the media, and the media keeps printing the lies and broadcasting them on our national networks, that Bush is right though it is clear he is lying—just as he and his team lied about Iraq.

Israel has a lot to lose also, because Iran now has missiles that can hit Tel Aviv and any major city or facility in Israel. Thus, if Israel goes in and attacks, by missile or by plane, Iran, Iran will retaliate. This will put big mouth Bush into trouble because he’s vowed to “defend Israel, our ally.” What can he do, bomb Iran some more. Then Iran will become involved in the Iraq war, and can send thousands of troops in to attack our already exhausted and beleaguered U.S. troops, and this will lead to more American deaths.

There is also another problem in this whole nonsensical situation—Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons and refuses to cooperate with the IAEA and with the non-nuclear proliferation pacts in the world at the UN. So why is Bush making such a big deal out of Iran possibly possessing nuclear power? None other than the interest of Israel to dominate the whole of the Middle East. First, Israel dragged America, with false in! formation from Mossad, its Mossad moles, and the neo-cons like Wolfowitz, Feith, Rove and others, into a losing war in Iraq, now Israel is trying, with the help of the neo-cons and the U.S. media, into pulling us into a no –win situation in Iran.

Remember this when thinking about warfare—Iran was called Persia—they have 5000 years of military history behind them—with a lot more wisdom than these upstarts and uneducated men who are running our military. If this is the best that West Point and our other military academies have to offer for leadership—then we’d be ready to revamp those institutions and get some wiser an! d cooler heads to run our armed forces and maybe some men with courage enough to tell the president that he doesn’t know a damn thing about war or strategy.

As I said months ago, if Israel or the U.S. attacks Iran, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” Bush has already lost a war in Iraq, he has no victory in Afghanistan, and it seems his only solution is to start another war that he can’t win—thus destroying our image as a democratic peace-loving nation, getting thousands more Americans killed in needless wars, totally busting the economy so that his friends at Halliburton and Blackwell and other firms can make money, and in the meantime, with his legal team in place, he’s preaching democracy while destroying democracy and dissent at home in America.

Does all of this sound like it’s a madhouse? A friend of mine, Marvin X wrote a book recently, The Crazy House Called America. I’m afraid he’s right, we’ve become a crazy house, led by an idiot, a man who should be treated for mental disorders and possibly dry alcoholism or worse, according to some prominent psychologists and psychiatrists in America and in the world. If he’s not run out of office soon, the craziness will get further out ! of hand, and what is left of America as we knew it will be lost.
