Initially written on April 8 as comment #6777 in response to the Ear to the Ground post, Scott Ritter Argues That Iran Poses No Real Threat, on truthdig.com.
To put it bluntly, the Neoconservative Cheney/Bush Administration is headed toward widening the war in the Middle East. Read Seymour M. Hersh's article, "THE IRAN PLANS: Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb?", in the coming April 17 issue of The New Yorker and now available on the internet.
The reasons leading to a war with Iran are:
1. We are losing the war in Iraq.
2. The Republicans are in danger of losing one or both Houses of Congress.
3. The Executive Branch of our government has a plan to impose martial law in order to win the war for oil in Mesapotamia and avoid going to prison and the other negative outcomes (for them) of 1 & 2.
Oh yes, and the Messianic vision of George W.—including the Second Coming of Jesus and the end times Battle of Armageddon—fits a concept that is still deeply rooted in the soul of our nation, we have been Chosen by God to fulfil a Manifest Destiny .
My bets? Heavy against the Second Coming and for the Battle of Armageddon.
