    Cheney Wants Another War, and He'll Get it No Matter What

    A. Alexander, August 26th, 2006

    Poor Dick Cheney! During the lead up to the Iraq War he spent many hours kicking down doors of intelligence agency offices. His objective, of course, was to bully agents into fabricating information that could be used to con the American people into going to war with Saddam. Dick would love to do the same with intelligence agents regarding Iran, but since word leaked out about his Iraq tactics he just can't be seen doing it all over again. That isn't to say, of course, that he isn't willing to have his private pretended "intelligence" crew, formerly known as the "Office of Special Plans", invent stories about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Dick's already tried that Iraq trick.

    What then, is Dick to do? Well, Dick does what Dick has always done...only a little more sneak-like! Apply indirect and yet, very palpable pressure on the real intelligence community to generate data favorable to Dick's perspective by using the media and, too, GOP shills in Congress.

    The deja vu with Iran is getting rather haunting. The leader of Iran has challenged Bush to a debate. You may recall that Saddam challenged Bush to a debate during the run-up to the Iraq invasion. I'm not implying that the U.S. is going to invade Iran, but the same type of situation is developing all over again- pressing the U.N. for sanctions, leaders challenging each other to debates, devisive rhetoric, etc.

    I still think that part of the reason Ahmadinejad got in was a response to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. People of one country tend to get reactionary when a neighboring country is invaded. Much the same happened in the U.S. after 911 with people turning reactionary and overtones of fascism appearing.

    Anyway, Bush would never beat Ahmadinejad in a debate. Bush couldn't even pronounce his name.

    My grandmother can beat Bush in a debate........ and she's dead.

    Here's a remark from Bolton. Sounds very similar to the remarks we heard about Iraq.

    "Security Council unanimity was not needed before taking action against Iran, Bolton said in a reference to continued Chinese and Russian reluctance to move quickly on sanctions."

    It does seem as the neocons are pushing for total control over the MiddleEast. I respect Iran's leader and hope he sticks to his guns. They aren't threatening anyone, they are a sovereign nation operating well within their rights. To let the media sell the western world on the fact that they are threat, is to buy into a corporate scheme that will only cost more in terms of taxpayers' money and lives. Why???? To make a few even richer?

    The President of Iran went on 60 minutes and said clearly he does not want to have a war with us and does not want to nuke us, do you neocons need anymore? But of course the neocons don't care what he says because war is about control and economics not about protecting americans.

    I saw that interview, and he was coherent and very statesmanlike. Wish we could say that for our commander in chief.

    As long as Russia and China stay their ground, and not agree with the States, and I would be surprised if Russia did side with America, Iran will not face sanctions.
