TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

From Rock Creek Free Press Jan 27, 2007:

"PEACE MOVEMENT MUST MAKE 9/11 TRUTH THE LEADING EDGE OF FIGHT AGAINST IRAQ-IRAN-SYRIA WAR
Webster G. Tarpley

The escalation announced in Bush's January 10 television speech was much bigger than many expected: the threats he made against Iran and Syria threaten a wider US aggression, quite possibly carried out with nuclear weapons. In addition to his 21,000 extra GIS, Bush is sending an additional carrier battle group and Patriot missiles to the Gulf. Admiral Fallon, the new Centcom commander, is a carrier admiral trained in air attacks, not land warfare. John "Death Squads" Negroponte, Rice's new deputy at the State Department, is said to be assembling a team of private contractors to prepare the attack on Iran. Russian intelligence reports indicate that there are four US missile-fi ring submarines in the Gulf. The London Sunday Times says that the Israeli air force is actively drilling for a sneak attack on Iranian military facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Bushehr. The ING international banking group is telling its clients that the Israelis may attack Iran in February or March. February 17 or March 18, the preferred sneak attack times of the new moon, may thus mark the beginning of a regional Middle East war, a war tending to slide into World War III.

THE 9/11 MYTH IS THE EXPLICIT BASIS OF ALL THE WARS

Bush's bedrock motivation for this pattern of lunatic escalation is the racist, militarist, and fascist offi cial explanation of the events of September 11, 2001, especially as codifi ed in the discredited Kean-Hamilton 9/11 commission report.

The premise of Bush's argument in his escalation speech is this: "On September the 11th, 2001, we saw what a refuge for extremists on the other side of the world could bring to the streets of our own cities. For the safety of our people, America must succeed in Iraq." A few days later, Dick Cheney evoked the offi cial nightmare vision of 9/11 in when he told an interviewer that legislators who want to cut the funding for the Iraq adventure are playing into the hands of Bin Laden and al Qaeda.Senator Lieberman, the most extreme Democratic warmonger, cited the offi cial 9/11 myth not once but twice when he appeared on Meet the Press the Sunday after Bush's speech. On the day after Bush spoke, fascist talk show host Rush Limbaugh spouted a lengthy tirade about 9/11 and the 3,000 dead – a sure indication that these themes were mandated by the notorious Karl Rove faxes, which are known to go out to the leading right wing extremists of the airwaves.

Peace activists often ask why the 9/11 truth movement insists on making the truth about terrorism a central component of anti-war agitation. One answer is that we bring up 9/11 frequently because Bush and Cheney do – they incessantly parrot slogans about the "global war on terror" and "the lessons of 9/11." Bush claims that he is fi ghting terrorists in Iraq so that the US will not have to fi ght them over here. He raves that, if US forces pull out of Iraq, the terrorists will follow them back home and launch attacks on US territory. There can be no doubt that 9/11 is the foundation of Bush's castle of warmonger lying – the fountainhead, motivation, and legitimation of the entire policy of unilateral aggression. To ignore the centrality of 9/11 to Bush's every move is like trying to fight Hitler without mentioning anti-Semitism.

Attacks on Bush that do not include 9/11 truth are simply impotent, and will not be effective.
