US Distances Itself Publicly From Israeli Drive for Iran War
03-07-2008 23:59
Can Israel start an attack on Iran all on its lonely?Probably, yes.
But can it finish such an attack without the help of US air power?
Probably not.
And remember: Bush has promised that the US will support Israel military, no matter who starts the shooting.
It looks as though Israel's plan is to start an attack, and expect that the US will finish it for Israel.
I'd love to believe that there are some in congress, the military, and the executive who would be willing to throw cold water on such foolishness, but unfortunately, considering the stranglehold Israel has over this government, that's not about to happen.

03-07-2008 19:09
Via the corrupt Arroyo regime, Bush/Pentagon is planning deeper intervention in the "killing fields" of its former colony, in the name of the war against "terrorism." But this is bound to resuscitate the Furies of the Filipino-American War of 1899-1902, and arouse the revolutionary energies of 90 million Filipinos against US imperialism and global capital--a future that Washington is not yet prepared to contemplate.G8 and The War Against Torrentism
