I read this article in the news today. I think Bush may fabricate a story to get support for attacking Iran. I've read alot of anti-Iran propaganda in the news. Do you think Bush would lie to attack Iran to steal their oil or to stay in office after elections?

Quote:
The US accused Iranian forces of threatening to blow up three US warships in an encounter last week. Iran has denied the claims and has released a video it says proves the encounter was routine.

Some US naval officials have now cast doubt on the original claims that Iranian Revolutionary Guards threatened to blow the US ships up.

It looks like Bush plans to sell $20 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries to counter Iran's growing military clout. I thought the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and not from Iraq or Iran so why is Bush giving them weapons? I think Bush is trying to start World War 3.

Iran vs Saudi Arabia, interesting. And yet it does not pose a threat to the US directly, but to the US strategic dominance in the middle east.

The propaganda buildup to war in Iran would take a bit longer- any actual attack is more likely to occur under Hillary. Also, since Bush has done a pretty decent job of humiliating himself in Iraq, very few people would accept the legitimacy of an attack on Iran while Bush is still our "leader." The power behind the throne knows that it will be easier to deal with citizen opposition to war if that war does not appear to come from W.

Bush doesn't care about what people think of him. If he thinks he can get away with it, he's likely to attack them... he obviously wants to very badly.

Iran's been on the cards for years. Syria will be after that.

Rove would never let him. It would be poor strategy right now.

Iran supplies a huge amount of natural gas to China. The US won't attack Iran because of what China will do to the US if it's gas supply is interrupted.

That's a very "DUH" question.

NO

he'll get someone else to do it for him.

or rather; someone else will tell someone else to tell him to get someone else (army/mercs/fronts etc) to do it for him.

This is a decent possibility, because the NWO can work in ways like that and it is an international agenda behind all this so this is how they've always worked. So it's possible they could use other nations to take out Iran. That would put much strain on European citizens like it is with people here in the US (lets be honest, if they used this strategy, they would use mostly powerful white nations). Our politicians are basically well-groomed puppets. Most of them are represented by zionist cut-throats in Israel anyhow......
Contrary to popular belief (on a side note here) I do not believe zionism has much to do with jews, I think it's more about certain "elite" bloodlines coming together to rule the world. So don't go biting my head off calling me anti-semetic, I've got no problem with jewish people, I think theyr very intelligent people. As a matter of fact jews were like aspies before aspies in a way. But not all jewish people are good because not all of any type of person are good, including aspies.

I doubt it. I also doubt any damn thing that comes out of Iran. If you spit at the mouth of the White House, why swallow what the Iranians are giving you? Because they're not Bush or Cheney? Just read/listen to the crap that comes out of the Iranian political elite.

Blame Israel for existing. That is the vital reason the whole area is a mess. There's nothing that can be done about Israel. It is stupid for the Arabs to still claim it is their land. It isn't anymore. The Iranians just want to enter the little debate so they can show their Arab friends "Hey, we're Muslims like you, and will have your back. Now support us against the West." What is different from what the U.S. is doing other than you wouldn't want Iran to actually wield the bigger sword. Disappointingly, that shift occurred when you knocked off the tyrant Hussain.


I guess it is time to prepare ourselves for the Final Judgment. Read your scriptures, guys :study:

You can add the Russians into the mix as well. They've been giving support to Iran and may not sit around if it is attacked. In a worst case scenario, I can see WWIII starting if the U.S. invades Iran.
