TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Tuesday, August 02, 2005

In light of the installation of lying imperialist warfreak John Bolton as UN ambassador and the nuclear-attack-on-Charleston drill being run out of Fort Monroe, this item from Patrick Buchanan's American Conservative August 1 is troubling:

In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.

Will Cheney et al gin up a nuclear attack on the old Confederacy and immediately nuke Iran while Congress is out of session this month?

Make sure to notify the Charleston News & Courier about the drills.
