We will attack Iran, and it will be disastrous (for us)
I bet you haven’t heard anything about it on American news. You’ve probably heard a lot of talk about the suspicion of Iran attempting to build nuclear weapons. But I bet that’s all you’ve heard. Well, if you listen to any of the big 4 American news agencies (abc,cbs,nbc,fox).
But it goes quite a bit further than that. And it’s starting to sound quite familiar. Wag the dog.
Iran is trying to build a nuclear power plant. It requires enriched uranium. President Bush says they are trying enrich material for weapons. The bush administration is also telling us over and over that there are no plans to attack Iran.
Yet, listening to foreign news. It came up in UN meetings that plans for a US attack on Iran have leaked out. Both military and civilian targets. As well as reason for going forward for it. These reason include “Reasonable belief that Iran is developing nuclear weapons” and “Iran is supplying the insurgency in Iraq with weapons.”
What happened on the news recently? Oh yea, An “anonymous” source held a press conference showing several weapons that had to have come from Iran that were captured in Iraq.
It all sounds too staged to me.
Iran has a nuclear reactor they purchased from Russia. It requires enriched uranium. So why would Iran not try to enrich uranium? I believe there are thoughts of nuclear weapons on their side, who wouldn’t in their position. But otherwise, they do have justification for enriching nuclear fuel.
Iran was in a war with Iraq for nearly 40 years. Why wouldn’t there be weapons in Iraq that are from Iran. What about the largely unprotected border between the two countries. What about plain old smuggling. Insurgents would be paying top dollar for weapons to use against us. Whose to say that a single person in the Iranian military, some lowly quartermaster in charge of these things sold a few of these things for a buck. We also don’t hear just what the source of these weapons is. Were they captured? Bought? Turned over? Or did a couple of our CIA operatives go steal them from Iran (there really weren’t that many).
Tiny reasons for us to attack. Sounds a lot like the justification for the attack on Iraq to oust a leader we put there in the first place, ironically to be an opponent to Iran.
Should we actually attack Iraq, the results would be disastrous. The United States is already looked upon as the most hated country in the world by most of the world, and only tolerated by the rest. An action like the plan to attack Iraq would bring about an unleashing of power from several countries around the world against us.
If history repeats itself, we will attack Iran.
