In a story appearing in the Sunday
Telegraph, the newspaper once owned by the Canadian criminal finagler
and neocon “Lord” Conrad Black, amoral strategists “at the
Pentagon are drawing up plans for devastating bombing raids backed by submarine-launched
ballistic missile attacks against Iran’s nuclear sites as a ‘last
resort’ to block Teheran’s efforts to develop an atomic bomb.”
If not so deadly serious, the idea that the Straussian neocons will shock and
awe Iran only as a “last resort” would be comical. In fact, they
have long planned to bomb Iran—imaginary nukes or not—and kill as
many Iranians as possible and decimate the civilian infrastructure, as they
have done in Iraq (some estimates put the death toll thus far above 130,000).
“Central Command and Strategic Command planners are identifying targets,
assessing weapon-loads and working on logistics for an operation, the Sunday
Telegraph has learnt.” In fact, the Pentagon has long mapped out its targets, including “secondary
targets,” usually civilian airports, radio and TV installations, telecommunications
centers, government buildings, conventional power plants, water and waste treatment
plants, highways and bridges, and rail lines. In Iraq (twice) this sort of “targeting”
resulted in massive suffering and death (coupled with sanctions after the first
Bush Iraq Invasion, more than a million Iraqis died of starvation and disease,
a stunning crime against humanity). These criminal strategists, basically no different than the German Wehrmacht
strategists who planned Operation Barbarossa, “are reporting to the office
of Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, as America updates plans for action
if the diplomatic offensive fails to thwart the Islamic republic’s nuclear
bomb ambitions.” Of course, this “diplomatic offensive” is
designed to fail, as the “diplomatic offensive” prior to the Iraqi
invasion failed (and the “diplomatic offensive” in Afghanistan failed,
even though the Taliban were ready to turn over Osama bin Laden, if only the
Americans were able to provide evidence of his complicity in nine eleven, something
the Americans were unable and unwilling to do because they did not have compelling
evidence and, besides, they had planned to invade Afghanistan well before nine
eleven, as plenty of evidence attests). “This is more than just the standard military contingency assessment,”
a senior Pentagon adviser told the Telegraph. “This has taken on much
greater urgency in recent months.” Indeed, the shock and awe dismemberment of Iranian society is considered more
“than just the standard military contingency assessment,” as the
PNAC Straussian neocons have long told us. It has “taken on much greater
urgency in recent months” because the Bush administration, a front for
the Straussian neocon nihilists, is winding down and it will take months to
obliterate Iranian culture and civil society. Moreover, the neocons need to
fit in Syria, at minimum—they would prefer to do Lebanon, Saudi Arabia,
and Egypt, but this is obviously too ambitious, that is unless they can figure
out a way to keep Bush in office. “The prospect of military action could put Washington at odds with Britain
which fears that an attack would spark violence across the Middle East, reprisals
in the West and may not cripple Teheran’s nuclear program. But the steady
flow of disclosures about Iran’s secret nuclear operations and the virulent
anti-Israeli threats of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has prompted the fresh
assessment of military options by Washington. The most likely strategy would
involve aerial bombardment by long-distance B2 bombers, each armed with up to
40,000lb of precision weapons, including the latest bunker-busting devices.
They would fly from bases in Missouri with mid-air refuelling.” Nonsense, Tony Blair is fully onboard with the plan to reduce the Middle East
to a simmering cauldron of violence and dead, mutilated bodies. Bush, Rumsfeld,
Rice, et al, are ecstatic over Ahmadinejad’s highly suspect anti-Semitic
(or rather, anti-Ashkenazi, since the majority of Jews in Israel are white Europeans
and not Semites) declarations, leading more than a few people to believe he
is a Mossad agent or has an as of yet unknown reason for egging on the Israelis
and Americans. Either way, Ahmadinejad is courting disaster. As former CIA intelligence analyst Philip
Giraldi told the American Conservative last July, the United States plans
to nuke the be-jesus out of Iran. “The Pentagon, acting under instructions
from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States
Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed
in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The
plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional
and tactical nuclear weapons.” All of this despite the fact Iran is a
non-nuclear country, a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and
working with the IAEA, although the latter reported Iran to the UN Security
Council last week. So itchy is the Pentagon to use nukes against non-nuke countries,
they wrote the “policy” in their “Doctrine
for Joint Nuclear Operations” (pdf doc). “Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, [said] Mr. Bush is expected to be
faced by the decision [to criminally bomb Iran] within two years.” More
balderdash—the United States plans to bomb Iran next month, or soon thereafter.
It wants Iran wasted sooner before later. Last week Vladimir
Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Russia, told the Ekho Moskvy
radio station “that the Muslim [cartoon] riots were orchestrated by the
US to garner European backing for the military strike” and the “war
is inevitable because the Americans want this war. Any country claiming a leading
position in the world will need to wage wars. Otherwise it will simply not be
able to retain its leading position,” as well spelled out by the PNAC
maniacs who have captured the flag in Washington. ________________ Read from Looking Glass News US prepares military blitz against Iran's nuclear sites
