The coming war against Iran - Part 15

Using strong words and accusations to underscore their military build up, the United States is gearing up to go to war with yet another country: Iran. Now that with every day passing a war with Iran is coming closer, all the parties involved are further entrenching themselves.

It is a war that seemed to be inevitable from the start. Nobody wants it, except a few. History will show if these few will get what they are aiming for.

Rethoric and military action by U.S. builds up to war with Iran
'John Hannah, Vice President Cheney's national security adviser, said during a recent meeting that the administration considers 2007 "the year of Iran" and indicated that a U.S. attack was a real possibility', writes The Washington Post. The Guardian writes: 'The present military build-up in the Gulf would allow the US to mount an attack by the spring. But the sources said that if there was an attack, it was more likely next year, just before Mr Bush leaves office.' Veteran war reporter John Pilger writes: 'The United States is planning what will be a catastrophic attack on Iran. <...> I wrote virtually this same article early in 2003; for Iran now read Iraq then.' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is threatening the U.S. in the event of an attack and Iran is drafting a shadow budget: '"We are preparing a shadow budget based on the oil price of under $30 per barrel in case an extraordinary incident happens on the international arena"'. Perhaps due to the anticipated consequences that an attack on Iran could have on the world oil market, the U.S. announced an effort to add to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: 'the US Energy Department announced on Jan 23rd, a new push in the spring to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with initial purchases of 11 million barrels. "In the spring, that is to say about two months from now, we will begin the fill.'

The Sunday Telegraph writes: 'The build-up of anti-Iran rhetoric and despatch of two US aircraft carriers to the region has echoes for some of the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, prompting suspicions about the intentions of the remaining hawks within the administration, led by the vice-president, Dick Cheney.' Le Figaro reported toward the end January: 'With the sending of the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis and its combat group to join the Dwight D. Eisenhower, already in the Gulf, the United States now has the ability to conduct an air offensive 24 hours a day for 30 or 40 days. It can rely on Bahrain, the huge al-Udaid airbase in Qatar and its operational command centre, and the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean for supply. The American satellites have reportedly identified 1,500 targets linked to the Iranian nuclear weapon programme, distributed over 18 main sites. <...>'. 'Newsweek has learned that a third carrier will likely follow'; this might be the USS Ronald Reagan that has now entered the area where the USS Stennis is already present as a warning to Syria and Iran. Another troubling sign from insider Brzezinski who is taking the worst into consideration and is issuing a grave warning.

Brzezinski: false flag operation to provoke war with Iran

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor for President Carter, warned during testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the U.S. is on the eve of war with Iran, possibly provoked by way of a false flag operation in which an attack on America will be blamed on Iran: 'If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large. A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a "defensive" U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.'

Brzezinski knows what he's talking about. It was he who in the 1970's lured the Soviet Union into the 'Afghan trap' that he had laid. As a result of U.S. support for the Mujahedeen, the Soviets were seduced into invading Afghanistan: 'The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.' It's now the view in Washington that these Islamic fundamenalists (among them bin Laden and the Taliban) are the ones who ultimately turned against the U.S. Without laboring the point too much, the question remains as to what degree this is in fact the case, and as to how successful they've been. After all, it is unproven that the attacks on 9/11 were in fact carried out at the behest of Osama bin Laden, and there is overwhelming evidence that neoconservative elements within the U.S. organized and carried out the attacks themselves. It looks like this same scenario was implemented during the attacks in London on 7/7.

Brzezinksi knows all too well how, in times of conflict, all possible means are employed to achieve the goal. In his testimony before the Senate, he describes the lies and deceit during the run-up to the Iraq war, and warns us to be alert for subversive measures that could be employed to force a new war - this time with Iran. Ever since part 1 of this DeepJournal series on Iran, the writing has been on the wall that this war is going to become a reality. It's remarkable that an insider like Brzezinski offers such an insightful view into the realm in which these kinds of important issues are decided and orchestrated. It is an ominous sign. It has been largely ignored not only by the Dutch press, but also by the American press. This is a bad deal because it's the agenda as set forth by the mass media that in large part determines what is and is not deemed relevant and in turn incites our representatives to action. Without the major media to get the ball rolling, these kinds of crucial warnings will go unheard, and the representatives in Congress will continue to chase after the whim of the day.
