Cheney Plots New War against Syria To Save His Hide - Jeffrey Steinberg

[populistdriven]

As one Israeli source put it: "Cheney has told Ariel Sharon that the American people will never tolerate the removal of a President or Vice President during wartime. He is pressuring Sharon to back up U.S. war plans, targeting Syria and Iran. Cheney sees his political days numbered, and he is desperate for a war to save his political hide."

The Israeli source reported that the Vice President roused Sharon out of bed recently at 3 AM, Israeli time, to press him for support for possible military actions against Syria and Iran. Israeli military intelligence has weighed in strongly against "regime change" in Damascus, warning that any post-Bashar Assad government would be more dangerous, and could possibly involve the Muslim Brotherhood or other radical Islamists, far more hostile towards Israel. Despite this opposition, the source indicated that Sharon is under enormous pressure from the United States to deliver.

The source noted that any military action against Syria would have to occur prior to the end of November, when the rainy season begins, making both ground and air operations almost impossible.
The Israeli source also reported that there are warnings coming from Washington about a possible series of major terrorist attacks on the United States around Thanksgiving.

In July, former CIA analyst Philip Giraldi had written in The American Conservative that Vice President Cheney had ordered the Strategic Command (STRATCOM) to prepare war plans against Iran, involving a large number of air strikes, possibly using mini-nuclear weapons to take out alleged hardened nuclear weapons research facilities. According to the Giraldi story, which was subsequently confirmed by scores of top U.S. military and Congressional sources, the trigger for a Cheney-ordered strike on Iran would be a "911-type" terrorist attack on the continental United States...

1. So dick is planning another

9/11 attack on the usa? I thought their big hold on the masses was that they were "protecting us from terrorists' attacks?

Please tell me they can't get away with this, again?

4. If there is a 9/11 type attack, it would prove to me 9/11 was by design,

in cahoots with the Bin Ladens? No wonder they have not "found" Bin Laden...
