We’re at war and if the wimps that call themselves democrats want to keep us from getting into a war with Iran they better grow some balls quickly. I’m reading more and more articles on the internet from various credible sources such as Scott Ritter that the situation is dire. Just yesterday I read an article on alternet.org about Daniel Ellsberg who was instrumental in the release of the pentagon papers. There was actually a movie about this in 2003 with the same title. The movie shows how Ellsberg was at first a staunch supporter of the war but when it became clear to him that many of the facts about the Vietnam War were being kept from the American public, he leaked the pentagon papers to the press and it was made public what a mess this war really was.
Scott Ritter and Ellsberg both fear that if we don’t impeach Bush and his henchman very quickly they might still go to war with Iran. The fact is that all the preparations have already been made. In his last state of the union address President Bush again restated the threat of Iran and its nuclear program. I’ve said this all along that so many levers have already been pushed that it really won’t be hard for the President to go forward with some type of unilateral action.
I could spend 10 pages here describing the fact that there isn’t enough evidence to support the fact that Iran is a threat to us. Aside from the fact that it makes absolutely no sense to be denying a country like Iran the nuclear technology, but selling it secretly to countries such as Pakistan and Turkey he keeps pressing on forward with the notion that Iran’s acquisition of such technology would seriously impact our security. It’s bullshit- just like it was bullshit that Iraq was a threat, so is this statement. As you can see by watching the documentary in this article we currently have a government that is so utterly imcompetent that it really undermines my thinking that they could have had any involvement in 9/11 – and that’s saying something. The documentary deals with the fact that up until the actual fall of Baghdad, whether you were a supporter of the war or not, things were going well. Militarily speaking the whole mission was a breeze. What followed unfortunately where failed policies, unwillingness to act and an overall level of ignorance to the severity of the situation that is just mind boggling. Just the idea that Rumsfeld was able to committ all these crimes to then get exchanged for Robert Gates when it was hard to keep Rumseld on due to the political back lash drives me up the wall.
After reading all the facts surrounding our preparations for a war with Iran and after having looked a lot of information in regards to what brought us into the war with Iraq all I can come up with is that the goal really can’t be stability. If stability really was the goal in Iraq then literally everything that we did was wrong. It came to no surprise for me that shortly after the invasion the only thing we secured, was the oil fields. I don’t know why that fact alone didn’t make it obvious enough for everyone what are real intentions were. What this drives me to believe is that what we’re really interested in is chaos. Chaos that will bring the people of that region to wage war on against each other and that will bring instability and danger to the rest of the world for generations to come. The people that profit most from this are the large corporations. While normal people in the US don’t have health insurance, while veterans return from the Iraq war without the proper care attention they need and deserve, while our public education system slips more and more in the global ranking – we’re spending billions of dollars to perpetuate war. Wake up people, they’re tapping our phones, watching us on cameras, reading our emails, tracking your financial transactions, checking which books you’re reading – and this is what you call a free country? Don’t believe the hype!!!
