How Anti-Iran Policy Contributed to War in the Caucasus

16-08-2008 01:26 | Anti-militarism | World

Since the attacks by Georgia which sparked the fighting (which, alone, suggests Georgia had been promised the support of a larger power) took place on the day that the last two US carrier groups started for the Strait of Hormuz, it would appear that one motive (besides the pipelines from the Caspian which rival the new ones the US built in Afghanistan) appears to be tying up and/or demonizing Russia, in order to minimize its response to US/Israeli Aggression towards Iran.

The following article from the Jerusalem Post appears to support this, as does the US/Israeli line seen today, as well as the willingness of the bulk of the Western press to so horribly misrepresent this conflict.

US Armada En Route to Persian Gulf:"Naval Blockade" or All Out War Against Iran?

US sponsored war games have foreseen the possible intervention of Russia and China in the Middle East. World War III has been on the lips of NeoCon architects of US foreign policy from the outset of the Bush regime.

There is a tacit public acceptance of a diabolical and criminal military agenda, which in a very sense threatens "the community of nations" and life on this planet.

They needed a patsy to pin the attacks on and deflect the fact that this was
a false flag operation which also implicated an illegal bioweapons program.
The anthrax attack was a state-sponsored crime in search of a patsy.
