Paul Craig Roberts: Neo-con Lackey Gen. Betrayus's Gonna Try To Talk US Into Iran, Again

From The Online Journal:
Saturday the London Daily Telegraph reported that "British officials gave warning yesterday that America’s commander in Iraq will declare that Iran is waging war against the US-backed Baghdad government. A strong statement from General David Petraeus about Iran’s intervention in Iraq could set the stage for a US attack on Iranian military facilities, according to a Whitehall assessment." [British fear US commander is beating the drum for Iran strikes - Telegraph, By Damien McElroy, April 5, 2008]

The neocon lacky Petraeus has had his script written for him by Cheney, and Petraeus together with neocon warmonger Ryan Crocker, the US governor of the Green Zone in Baghdad, will present Congress tomorrow and Wednesday with the lies, for which the road has been well paved by neocon propagandists such as Kimberly Kagan, that "the US must recognize that Iran is engaged in a full-up proxy war against it in Iraq." (Emphasis supplied.)

Don’t expect Congress to do anything except to egg on the attack. On April 3, the International Herald Tribune reported that senators and representatives have made millions of dollars from their investments in defense companies totaling $196 million. [AP]

Rep. Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is already on board with the attack on Iran. The London Telegraph quotes Skelton: "Iran is the bull in the china shop. In all of this, they seem to have links to all of the Shi’ite groups, whether they be political or military."

All Skelton knows is what the war criminal Bush regime tells him. If Iran really does have all these connections, then it behooves Washington to cease threatening Iran and to make nice with Iran in order to stabilize Iraq and extract the US from the nightmare.
Roberts is a former luminary in the Reagan regime who finally saw the light. I just LOVE the way Roberts so utterly and thoroughly loathes and detests the fucking Busheviks.

I guess we knew it was coming. What else can they do but excite the screwballs once again with war? They will not allow a dem president and will do anything to stop it. Can anybody stop them? I reckon not.
