Beating the War Drum to Iran
I’m hearing more and more about an attack into Iran. That last time things got this loud was in February/March 2007. Things quieted down for a while, but now they’re picking up. There’s speculation about an attack during the August congressional recess.
Indication of War:
-Chertoff’s Gut. There’s nothing like a terrorist attack to whip up public support. How much do we spend on the department of homeland security? And it’s a gut feeling? Like, gas? Evidence? No? Just a gut feeling. Maybe I should stock up on duct tape.
-Rice confirms Chertoff’s Gut. I’ve known privates who inspire more confidence than these people.
-Israel invasion gets thumbs up from US, EU, NATO, says Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman.
-Israeli general says time is running out.
-State Department issues travel advisory for Israel / Palestinian Territories.
-Joe “The Chicken-Hawk” Lieberman lays legal ground work for war with Iran.
-A column in Britain’s Guardian Unlimited.
-Another discussion.
Indications of Peace:
-Iran’s 30,000+ Jewish community rejects bribes to renounce their nation. Their long-standing peaceful existence, I think, stymies the warmongers.
-UN hails Iran nuclear agreement . . . and the warmongering, chicken-hawk, neo-cons, cry all the way back to the drawing board.
-Israel’s new U.K. envoy tells British Jews to put Iran on the agenda. I think (hope) this means they aren’t buying it.
My car battery died yesterday. My gut feeling is that Iran was behind it. Can we bomb them now? Pretty please?
