Kucinich: Bush Wants More War
Kucinich: Bush Wants More War
This Time With Iran


10/25/07 "ICH" -- -- WASHINGTON, DC - October 25 - Today, the Bush Administration announced additional sanctions on Iran and labeled the Revolutionary Guard Corps as proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and a unit of the Corps – the Quds Force – as a “specially designed global terrorist.” Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) charged the Administration with drumming up support for a war with Iran.

“The Administration has been dramatically increasing its efforts in the last several weeks to go to war with Iran,” Kucinich said. “This latest stunt is nothing more than an attempt to deceive Americans into yet another war—this time with Iran.”

Last week, President Bush stated in a news conference: “So I’ve told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them (Iran) from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”

In a speech Sunday to the Washington Institute for Near East Studies, Vice President Dick Cheney said that if Iran continues on its current course, the United States and other nations are “prepared to impose serious consequences. Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions.”

U.S. bunker-buster request prompts Iran attack fears
By Susan Cornwell

Pete, Nancy, George and WWIII
By Cindy Sheehan


BushCo has over 14 more months to sew their demented seeds of destruction all over the planet. We must all join Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh) in his call to remove them from office not only for their past, but for their future, illegal wars of aggression, possibly even doing the unthinkable: using a nuclear weapon. The terrorists that wear Brooks Brothers and Armani and live and work in the big white house on Pennsylvania Avenue are more dangerous to our way of life and safety than any others.

2. Although numerous rightists and dem's...
Still relegate the notion to the "tinfoil" heap. So, it's not quite a "duh" statement afterall.

3. Attack Iran and you attack Russia
Attack Iran and you attack Russia
By Pepe Escobar


10/25/07 "Asia Times" -- -- The barely reported highlight of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Tehran for the Caspian Sea summit last week was a key face-to-face meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A high-level diplomatic source in Tehran tells Asia Times Online that essentially Putin and the Supreme Leader have agreed on a plan to nullify the George W Bush administration's relentless drive towards launching a preemptive attack, perhaps a tactical nuclear strike, against Iran. An American attack on Iran will be viewed by Moscow as an attack on Russia.
