Neocon Strategy: The Military Solution Against Iran is The Final Solution
Neocon Strategy: The Military Solution Against Iran is The Final Solution


By David Fiderer, Huffington Post

Did anyone actually read the study, released to RawStory.com, that lends legitimacy to the idea that Bush can take out Iran's nuclear capability with massive air attacks? It was like something out of Dr. Strangelove. It also fits seamlessly into the fabric of White House rhetoric and takes neocon ideology to its inevitable conclusion.

"U.S. policy is regime change by political means and prevention of nuclear weapons acquisition by all means," write Dr. Dan Plesch and Martin Butcher, who have impressive resumes but offer superficial crackpot analysis. "By all means," is a euphemism. Translated into English, it means unilaterally launching war aimed at total destruction of Iran as a nation state (yes, nuclear weapons may be necessary). "By all means," also answers the inevitable, "Yeah, but then what?" question. After we bomb a nation of 70 million people into the stone age, we keep them permanently subjugated.

This is no exaggeration. Look at their own words:

<snip>

If you stand in "the shadow of a nuclear holocaust," to use George Bush's words, then anything is justifiable.

I knew Plesch and Butcher were delusional right away, when I jumped to the section titled, "And How Could This Affect the Gulf States and Combatants." You would think after our debacle in Iraq, any military analysis would address the threshold question, "How will people react?" Plesch and Butcher don't go there.

<snip>

If Considering a War with Iran: A Discussion Paper on WMD in the Middle East, is an approximation of what our military leadership is thinking, then we all have a moral duty to try and stop this notion from going anywhere.

1. I can think of another "final solution" for the neocon scum.
What ever happened to the practice of running our cowards and traitors up to the frontlines of a battle for cannon fodder? All the neocons need infantry gear and a gun and placement on the Iranian/Iraqi border if they succeed in getting Israel to pressure the US into fighting their "Holy War."

3. Bush MO: Bomb Iran first, then tell the American people why it happened then
walk away from the podium when he's asked too many annoying questions. Bush not only would Bomb Iran he will do it to maximize the timing of it to benefit republicans before the 2008 elections.

5. Bizarre times
When people call themselves pro life while pushing the nucular button. There has to be a way to stop them.
