from paul craig roberts, the truly alarming recipe for destruction that is bushco’s latest foreign policy fiasco in the making.

• US Navy aircraft carrier strike forces are deployed off Iran.
• US Air Force jets and missile systems are deployed in bases in countries bordering or near to Iran.
• US B-2 stealth bombers have been refitted to carry 30,000 pound “bunker buster” bombs.
• The US government is financing terrorist and separatist groups within Iran.
• US Special Forces teams are conducting terrorist operations inside Iran.
• US war doctrine has been altered to permit first strike nuclear attack on Iran and other non-nuclear countries.

really, how the flying fuck do these people really expect this to turn out? after trolling the military policy discussion boards - and none of those people are what one would reasonably describe as “doves” or “peaceniks” - it seems a lot of people on all sides are very uneasy about this. the problem is, how do we unify ourselves under one purpose to stop this madness?

it’s unclear also whether we can expect any kind of full-scale revolt by upper echelon brass against the executive push for this invasion - there is unprecedented dissent within the ranks of the upper-level military, but it’s still not more than half as far as i can tell.

the other thing to keep in mind is that while we were never able to find WMD’s in iraq, surprise surprise, we’ll have no trouble finding them in iran………..the hard way.

this whole business is enough to make one go out and stock up on cardboard, paint and duct tape…….

ADDENDUM:
Larry Johnson is a very good source of intel on this subject as well as many others.
