http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11743.htmGSS7881 said:The administration has no hope of securing the votes needed for sanctions or punitive action. The trip to the Security Council is purely a ploy to provide the cover of international legitimacy to another act of unprovoked aggression. The case has gone as far as it will go excluding the requisite “touched up” satellite photos and bogus allegations of unreliable dissidents.
We should now be focused on how Washington intends to carry out its war plans, since war appears to be inevitable.
Those who doubt that the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld team will attack Iran, while so conspicuously overextended in Iraq, are ignoring the subtleties of the administration’s Middle East strategy.
Bush has no intention of occupying Iran. Rather, the goal is to destroy major weapons-sites, destabilize the regime, and occupy a sliver of land on the Iraqi border that contains 90% of Iran’s oil wealth. Ultimately, Washington will aim to replace the Mullahs with American-friendly clients who can police their own people and fabricate the appearance of representative government. But, that will have to wait. For now, the administration must prevent the incipient Iran bourse (oil-exchange) from opening in March and precipitating a global sell-off of the debt-ridden dollar. There have many fine articles written about the proposed “euro-based” bourse and the devastating effects it will have on the greenback. The best of these are “Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar” by William R. Clark, and “The Proposed Oil Bourse” by Krassimir Petrov, Ph.D.
The bottom line on the bourse is this; the dollar is underwritten by a national debt that now exceeds $8 trillion dollars and trade deficits that surpass $600 billion per year. That means that the greenback is the greatest swindle in the history of mankind. It’s utterly worthless. The only thing that keeps the dollar afloat is that oil is traded exclusively in greenbacks rather than some other currency. If Iran is able to smash that monopoly by trading in petro-euros then the world’s central banks will dump the greenback overnight, sending markets crashing and the US economy into a downward spiral.
if history means anything,
we have at least a decade and about 15 resolutions to go before war is a possibility.
and then, we can hear how Bush is a war criminal for doing what the UN failed to do.
Apparently so. I was intrigued so I peeked under the rug so to speak.oldreliable67 said:Re: the first post...shades of Canuck! He has been reincarnated!
Meh...it's not a matter of stupidity, rather a matter of saftey. The Iranian president has made some rather disturbing comments lately, such as saying that Israel should be "wiped off the map" and other such statements. He has also continued to deny the existence of the Holocaust. Iran as a whole is very Anti-Israel and what with their new nuclear "research" program, Israel can't just sit there and wait to be attacked.sasho said:eurhmm,well to tell u the truth ,i dont think Israel is THAT dumb to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.Israel knows the consequences of such a strike.If Iran gets attacked,Israel's northern part will get hit by hundreds of primitive Katyucha missiles( or i think its spelled this way lol )from Hizb Allah in lebanon.Some of you would say that well see Iraq got attacked, hizb Allah did not retaliate.Now there is a difference Iraq did not support hizb allah in lebanon, Iran did.So a major move against Iran would create Havoc in the Cities bordering southern lebanon.

war with Germany was preventable.
war with Japan was preventable.
And as for the terrorist threat here in the U.S. forgive me if I doubt the seriousness of it...
