US to Strike Iraq--soon?

by Allen
Recently Pres. Bush met with Gen. Franks regarding attacking Iraq, and US military build-up continues in the Gulf. Do not be fooled, the US will attack Iraq soon. Then what will become of the Middle East.
Below are links to two stories regarding the situation in the works for the Middle East. I am predicting, that despite the claims that the US is hesitant, or taking its time to attack Iraq, that in fact there will be war before Christmas. More than this, what will Israel's reaction be? I suspect that the actual operations in the Middle East will be an assult by the US, Britan, and Israel. This will, in the end, be a land grab where, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq will be spliced up between the three invaders.

These are mere predictions based on careful and cynical readings of press announcements and actual events.

At minimum, it is pretty clear that the ruling classes in the US, Britan, and Israel, whatever they may say publically, are actually working together pretty well. They are all, (Pres. Bush, Tony Blair, and PM Sharon) working AGAINST the majorities in their countries toward the same end, which is an expanded, devasting war in the Middle East. The fact is they each name the same enemies, and have agreed to assist each other in military ways. There is nothing that Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, or Syria can do to prevent this. They are all going to be attacked by the most modern armies in human history--soon.

Bush was perfectly honest when he spoke of an "Axis of Evil" last Spring. Only thing he left out was that the three "stooges" were Ariel, Tony & junior himself!

Allen, you are placing too much importance to mainstream news story. Much of this stuff is missinformation from the pentagon.

We will only bomb Iraq when is makes sense from a political point-of-view. There is no hurry at this time as long as President Bush has poll ratings of about 70% approval.

For the moment trying to make the Israeli/Palestinian conflict look better for voters has priority.

About next September 11, is probably the planned date. The new wave of flag waving this would produce (following the creation of an incident to further demonize Sadam) will help to elect republican politicians.

Israel will be involves in only the propaganda part. They will send their warmongers to flood our compliant media with anti-Arab/Muslim hatred.

The U.S. taxpayers are now willing to pay for all this absurd war stuff. Perhaps a time will come when low-cost peace will look better than expansive wars to a majority of Americans .

Karen,

I do not think attacking Iraq is a political question. Besides, Bush does not need politics--look at how he became President. Bush is contemptuous of the American people, he is not cow-towing to us.

The plan to attack Iraq has been long in the making, and it is part of a much greater "war." The fact is that the US is gunning for the World. It has nothing to do with politics, and its nothing personal. It is simply a power grab for the puppet masters.

Did you hear the President speak last night? He basically said that he wants a whole list of things from the Palestinians, and merely asked nicely that the Israelis wait to build more settlements for a while. Once again affirming his loyalty to Israel.

USA-Britan-Israel, this is the axis of imperialism. The ball is rolling, the pins are set up, the clash is just around the corner.
