U.S. and ISRAEL WAR with IRAN APPROACHING
EXPECT ANOTHER 9/11 - provoked or 'black oped'

 

"The Bush regime has created a major dispute with Iran over that country's 
nuclear energy program and then blocked every effort to bring the dispute 
to a peaceful end.  In order to gain a pretext for attacking Iran, the Bush 
regime is using bribery and coercion in its effort to have Iran referred
to the UN Security Council for sanctions."

"Another 9/11 event will prepare the ground for a nuclear attack on Iran.
Some 
readers say that Bush, or Israel...with American complicity, will provoke 
a second attack on the US.   Others say that Bush or the neoconservatives 
working with some 'black ops' group will orchestrate the attack."

insider who knows the Washington scene and has worked at just about all the
major 'conservative' think-tanks over the years.  In the Reagan years he was
an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.  Now he spends his days not only
warning about what the Bush/Cheney/Neocon/Zionist/Evangelican Republican
regime is planning but warning that they are trying to provoke, or even
'black op', the next 9/11, in order to be able to pursue their
extraordinarily dangerous designs.



Is Another 9/11 in the Works?

By Paul Craig Roberts

03/15/06  -- If you were President George W. Bush with all available US
troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control
Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war
with Iran?

Yes, you would.

Bush's determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does
not make sense.

First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot
successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a
country approximately three times the size in area and population.

Second, Iran can respond to a conventional air attack with missiles targeted
on American ships and bases, and on oil facilities located throughout the
Middle East.

Third, Iran has human assets, including the Shia majority population in
Iraq, that it can activate to cause chaos throughout the Middle East.

Fourth, polls of US troops in Iraq indicate that a vast majority do not
believe in their mission and wish to be withdrawn. Unlike the yellow ribbon
folks at home, the troops are unlikely to be enthusiastic about being
trapped in an Iranian quagmire in addition to the Iraqi quagmire.

Fifth, Bush's polls are down to 34 percent, with a majority of Americans
believing that Bush's invasion of Iraq was a mistake.

If you were being whipped in one fight, would you start a second fight with
a bigger and stronger person?

That's what Bush is doing.

Opinion polls indicate that the Bush regime has succeeded in its plan to
make Americans fear Iran as the greatest threat America faces.

The Bush regime has created a major dispute with Iran over that country's
nuclear energy program and then blocked every effort to bring the dispute to
a peaceful end.

In order to gain a pretext for attacking Iran, the Bush regime is using
bribery and coercion in its effort to have Iran referred to the UN Security
Council for sanctions.

In recent statements President Bush and Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld
blamed Iran for the Iraqi resistance, claiming that the roadside bombs used
by the resistance are being supplied by Iran.

It is obvious that Bush intends to attack Iran and that he will use every
means to bring war about.

Yet, Bush has no conventional means of waging war with Iran. His
bloodthirsty neoconservatives have prepared plans for nuking Iran. However,
an unprovoked nuclear attack on Iran would leave the US, already regarded as
a pariah nation, totally isolated.

Readers, whose thinking runs ahead of that of most of us, tell me that
another 9/11 event will prepare the ground for a nuclear attack on Iran.
Some readers say that Bush, or Israel as in Israel's highly provocative
attack on the Jericho jail and kidnapping of prisoners with American
complicity, will provoke a second attack on the US. Others say that Bush or
the neoconservatives working with some "black ops" group will orchestrate
the attack.

One of the more extraordinary suggestions is that a low yield, perhaps
tactical, nuclear weapon will be exploded some distance out from a US port.
Death and destruction will be minimized, but fear and hysteria will be
maximized. Americans will be told that the ship bearing the weapon was
discovered and intercepted just in time, thanks to Bush's illegal spying
program, and that Iran is to blame. A more powerful wave of fear and outrage
will again bind the American people to Bush, and the US media will not
report the rest of the world's doubts of the explanation.

Reads like a Michael Crichton plot, doesn't it?

Fantasy? Let's hope so.
