Neocons Ready Fall Campaign to "Pearl Harbor" Iran

[Purveyor]

It's still summer but the word in Washington is that, come fall, the neocon crowd that helped lie us into Iraq will be out trying to do the same thing with Iran.

Commentary, the magazine which invented neoconservatism, is already announcing that sanctions have failed and it's time for the next step.

And this neocon manifesto argues that war is bad, but a lot better than no war. Of course, nobody takes Commentary seriously (it is too open about its "Greater Israel first" agenda). But it still is valuable because of what it tells you about neocon thinking.

But Jeff Goldberg of the Atlantic is something else. He writes for Atlantic and Atlantic (both the magazine and the blog made famous by Andrew Sullivan) matters.

In late August, the influential Goldberg will be coming out with a cover story urging the United States to attack Iran so that Israel doesn't have to. Goldberg, an American who served in the Israeli army as a guard at a Palestinian prison camp, is about as close to the "pro-Israel" lobby as one can be without actually working at headquarters.

1. Crystal ball time

There will be a survivor of this attack. And that survivor or his/her heirs will make it his/her life's duty to retaliate against this country. All you need is just one person. This "Pearl Harbor" attack will not humble Iran, its friends, and its enemies. It will unite them.

2. Pearl Harbor...

...didn't work out quite the way the Japanese intended it to, did it?

3. Shh, don't point that out, it ruins everything.

The fact that these morons refer here to Pearl Harbor as though it was a good thing tells you all you need to know. Pearl Harbor was a disaster for the USA and a disaster for Japan, a disaster even for Germany, but these morons think WWII was great and they would love to do it all again.

4. Shouldn't that headline read "PERLE Harbor"?

Of course PNAC already had their first PERLE Harbor almost 9 years ago. The one their agenda specifically called for. And war with Iran is something they have been demanding since Perle, Feith and their buddies first sat down with NuttyYahoo and started plotting this bullshit out way back in 1995
