07-13-07 - A Different 'Gut Feeling': Israel Attacking Iran ** It always pays to be suspicious when a U.S. official ramps up fear, but Homeland Security czar Michael Chertoff's "gut feeling" remark about an Al Qaeda attack on the U.S. this summer sparks a different suspicion ? and a similar sinking feeling: Israel is about to launch a unilateral strike on Iran. The August 2005 issue of the American Conservative featured this Deep Background column by former CIA official Philip Giraldi: "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." Cheney and the neocons have been looking for another 911-style attack to use as a pretext for an attack on Iran. Looks like they may just get one (like they did for the attack on Iraq). Israel's minions in the US, including Joe Lieberman, are already openly calling for an attack on Iran. Same with Bolton. Latest updates of this topic can be found here, compiled by yours truly.

07-13-07 - Robert Fisk: TE Lawrence had it right about Iraq Has the US General David Petraeus read this? Has Bush?

I remember how Daniel Pipes - one of the great illusionists of modern American journalism - announced in the summer of 2003 that what the Iraqis needed was (no smirking here, please), a "democratically minded strongman"......But wait, Pipes is at it again.

The neocons and thus the Bush administration have 'misunderestimated' those 'backward Arabs'. So too has Israel. They simply will not bend to someone else's will.
