Further Evid Iran Attack Planned -- Rawstory LINK
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 01:46 PM by Blackhatjack
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/US_has_contingency_plan_to_strike_0201.html

The evidence that Bush intends to strike inside Iran just keeps 'leaking out'.

This article gives us the parameters of a likely attack since British assistance will be required and Tony Blair is leaving office in April. Without Blair, the Britsh would never go along with this, so the attack will have to happen between now and when Blair steps down.

The fact that the Joint Chiefs have proceeded to 'branches and sequels' analysis means that a plan has been agreed upon.

Congress needs to ACT and DO IT NOW. Before it is too late.

Editted to correct typo.

1. You mean Iran, don't you?
The first sentence reads, "The evidence that Bush intends to strike inside IRAQ..."

Just checking for clarity. :hi:

4. You're welcome...
Although I realize it's hard to keep all of Georgie's wars separate.

5. I keep reading about the investigation into Blair 'selling commissions' ....
... and one of his top officials was arrested this last week in connection with that investigation.

Blair's popularity in Britain is about as good as Bush's in the US.

You are exactly right -- his own party may 'push him out' before April. Especially if they think he may be planning another George Bush special attack on Iran.

7. If you know, why has his party not forced Blair out before now?
I understood party officials were insisting on a specific date from Blair when he would resign,and that it had to be within six(6) months. The reason given was that they needed to put a new face out there to run at the next election and distance themselves from Blair and his failed policies.

THis was Blair's own party .... so you can imagine how unpopular he is.

The arrest of one of his top officials for what amounts to graft/corruption would seem to put him in a similar position to Nixon during Watergate.

So what does Blair do if Bush strikes Iran? Step down voluntarily? I don't think so.

Remember the Parliment insisted and has pulled their troops out of Iraq, leaving the US all alone.

9. No, I only saw that he (Tony) was questioned again by the POLICE
either yesterday or the day before (for the second time) and is basically refusing to answer any questions from the press now. So far, two of his staff have been arrested...I believe a his campaign manager and his campaign communications person.

Selling seats in the House of Lords in return for campaign donations is apparently frowned upon.

And I am puzzled to the dickens as to why this is getting absolutely ZERO press here and it is ALL the rage in the UK...kind of explains the terrorist plot arrest diversion thingy the other day.

13. It would be interesting if resigned around February 25th...
When "The Queen" is up for best picture in the Oscars, which depicts him as a sympathetic main character in it.

8. I was just going to write - why don't the British help us by
strapping him down since we can't seem to do much here.

I condemn our military. I have said it before and I haven't said it recently - THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN INNOCENT SOLDIERS AND THE BRASS. I support our kids - I don't support co-partners with brass and gold on their chest who work for death on behalf of coporations, foundations, organizations, and Israel and their military co-agenda of testing new theories and toys.

I always argued in favor of a military for defense. That's not what we have.

12. There are so many reports about Iran Attack coming out that it
would seem that the "White Hats" here and in the international community are pulling out all the stops to try to keep Bush from attacking Iran.

The network of "Black Hats" must be hugely powerful,though, that Bush/Cheney haven't been stopped before now. It's mindboggling what they've gotten away with so far.

14. What is scary is the multiple sources of 'Iran attack coming' are highly credible...
The government officials and news sources in Israel are highly credible when it comes to this type of reporting.

The other sources in the Middle East and in Europe also seem to be credible on everything else they are reporting.

It makes you wonder why the MSM in the US does not pick up any of this reporting outside the US.

15. If * wanted to reinforce his poodle's behaviour
he should have thought earlier to reward it after its impressive display of obedience in 2003.

Blair hoped (foolishly) he could buy influence by participating in the invasion of Iraq.
I don't think he will make that mistake again with Iran.
