Reply #10: Everything Cheney says has a purpose, and this is no exception...

[Blackhatjack]

I have serious concerns over this type of proclamation by Cheney(that did not need to be said BTW) as it appears to be laying the groundwork for justification for an attack on Iranian interests.

Why say this now? The only way to accurately answer this question is to look back a couple of months from now and see what ensued AFTER Cheney made this statement.

Does everyone realize there has been a steady buildup of troop numbers in Iraq and the region for months now? The so-called 'surge' appears to be a cover story for the massing of the maximum number of troops available in the region.

If we are lucky, somehow Cheney will be deprived of the power to 'pull the trigger' on Iran. How? IT will take massive public opposition. However, the MSM is already 'calming' the public interest by saying that the 'surge' won't be reevaluated by the White House until Sept.

For those who attempt to read the tea leaves, Cheney's trips, comments and actions bear close scrutiny. I for one do not like what I am seeing.
