Could we see another 9-11 as an excuse to attack Iran?

[Ugnmoose]

It worked the first time why not an encore performance by the Bush Cabal. I have previously posted that the main threat from Iran is the attack on our dollar that will result from their March 26th conversion to Euros to be traded on a bourse (exchange) they will create. Make no mistake this is a serious threat, just as it was when Saddam converted his petro-dollars to Euros.

The neocons know that he who controls the currency controls the global economy. We are a sinking ship right now. Our dollar is hanging on by a thread and this action by Iran might just be the event that triggers a global run on the bank and the ultimate collapse of the dollar. Translated kiss our economy bye bye. Further translated the staw that broke the camel's back and the demise of the Neocons.

Desperation reigns and desperate people will take drastic and desperate actions. The one ace in the whole the Neocons have is 9-11. Most people still cling to the belief that this was an attack orchestrated by a well organized international terrorist network. For the past four years anytime things get tough these thugians roll out the terrorist banner and wave the flag of patriotism at the American people.

Ask yourself this question. If you were an average uniformed American and one of our cities was savagely attacked ala 9-11 and you were advised that we have definitive proof that it was orchestrated by the Iranian government. How would you feel? It wouldn't take much to get people to back the Neocons in an immediate retaliatory attack against Iran, now would it. The cowards up on the Hill would fall all over themselves rushing to grant an act of war. This is not rocket science folks. It is human nature to want to right a wrong and seek vengence against the alleged perpertrators.

I hope for one I am dead wrong in this scenario. But I know too much and so do you. This is our curse. We know too well that the Neocons will stop at nothing to attain their goals. Absolutely nothing. They have very limited options and they are getting very desperate. Listen to the war drums being sounded in the MSM and by the talking heads. You know something is about to happen. So what are the options? It is political suicide to launch another preemptive attack like we did in Iraq. It is most unlikely that the U.N. would sanction any military action against Iran. So what would need to happen to justify a military strike = Bingo!

3. your not wrong...its a fact...911 was an inside job and the baby

born that dreadful day is like ROSEMARY'S BABY...THE FUCKING DEVIL..PNAC was its name,and world domination is
its game.. to hear the scumbag bush and cheney and rove say,it we were able to spy on americans prior to 911 we could have prevented the tragedy,what bullshit and on 911 I gave bush the benefit of the doubt,"he didn't know who crashed those jets" as the weeks and months passed it became evident they were hiding something.now 4 years later and enough evidence to hang the bush crime family literally they want more war,Iran...but for the reasons you state,oil bourse and the demise of the dollar. saddam went off the dollar chavez flirted with the euro and now iran..get ready for martial law..kbr just received 400 million to dust off those empty concentration camps and make them ready for inmates,be it mexican (I doubt) or american dissidents. nevertheless our greatest fears have come to pass.. now if we do a civil war here maybe nations from overseas will come to our rescue..I will join them in should they come to the usa to arrest the bush crime family and bring them to the hague,,,

4. well

they don't need another 9/11.

enough people on this board think Iran is a threat already.

so you can imagine the wingnuts.

the us population isn't even close to forcing concessions from this administration.

bombs were going off, underground resistance groups were robbing banks to fund civil disobedience, college campuses were riotous before the people caused change in the vietnam policy.

where is the resistance these days?

9/11 is still more than enough.

12. They have to know that they can't take Iran on now

All the data from Iraq point to extreme over-extension now. Iran's military is in much better shape than Iraq's was prior to the invasion. This is brinksmanship on both sides, pure and simple.

5. Absolutely, but

I don't think the next major terrorist attack carried out by the BFEE will be on US soil. That would make the little chimp look as though he hasn't done his job very well.

Paris might be an attractive target for them. After all, the French were "against us" last time around, and by hitting a major European city hard, well, that might be enough to devalue the Euro.
That's just my hunch. Of course I sure hope I'm wrong and that we never see another large scale terrorist attack any place ever again. :scared:

7. interesting theory

that would explain Chirac's speech. See my post below.

6. you don't need it

this time it's different, the stakes are higher than Iraq and other countries are involved.

Even the European countries leave somewhere that option on the table. Chirac made it clear : "don't try anything or we nuke you". The difference between the Iranian leadership and Saddam, is that they are a REAL threat to the regional stability. The nukes story is of course BS, the Iranians won't have nukes (if ever) before 5-10 years. It's only a pretext.

The real stakes are the oil flood in the Hormuz detroit, the threat on the US army in Iraq (by backing a Shiite insurrection) and the pressure of the Sunni world against Iran. A suicide attack on Israel cannot be dismissed either even if it is unlikely.

a single tactical mistake from Iran, and hell breaks lose. The only brake on this now is China who needs the Iranian oil.

8. 9/11 took years of organization & planning & an unsuspecting public

Some group was likely toiling away in the bowels of the Pentagon on black box money for years to pull it off. They have to know that people are way to suspicious now to let it ever happen again. And besides, they're a little, er, preoccupied, what with Iraq falling apart and all.

14. You're right. We'll need China's help to prevent the China Syndrome
