Fasten your seatbelts for another cakewalk- Iran

The impending Cakewalk in Iran 

By Mike Whitney 

09/26/05 "ICH" -- -- "Top-ranking Americans have told equally top-ranking Indians in recent weeks that the US has plans to invade Iran before Bush's term ends. In 2002, a year before the US invaded Iraq, high-ranking Americans had similarly shared their definitive vision of a post-Saddam Iraq, making it clear that they would change the regime in Baghdad." Calcutta Telegraph 9-25-05 

The UN's nuclear watchdog agency, the IAEA, officially signed Iran's death-warrant yesterday. By passing a US-backed resolution that refers Iran's nuclear program to the Security Council, the member states have endorsed America's genocidal Middle East policy and paved the way for another war. Even though Tal Afar, Samara and other civilian enclaves are still under a withering attack from American forces, and even though reports of rampant prisoner abuse and torture continue to surface around Falluja, and even though increasing numbers of young Sunni men, who've been beaten and shot in the back of the head, are being fished from the Euphrates River every day; the sycophantic Euro-allies have thrown their support behind a resolution that will unavoidably lead to another war. Everyone who signed on to this treacherous pact is equally culpable of the misery it will inevitably produce.

The handwriting is on the wall. It's just a matter of whether Iran "will go peacefully into that good night" or not. The ground has already been cleared for another larcenous crusade; another monstrous, unprovoked aggression against a peaceful nation. The red-herring of "non-compliance" will be brandished to the world while Washington gears up for its next bloody campaign. The plan to reshape the Middle East is moving forward at breakneck-speed and unsuspecting Iran just entered the imperial crosshairs.

The 101st Airborne Division is once again answering the call to serve in Iraq.

Around 20,000 soldiers got their final briefing Friday afternoon at Ft. Campbell. It's been two years since the division was last deployed to Iraq.

Soldiers will board planes and be heading off Friday to do numerous duties, including helping train Iraqi law enforcement. Families took the afternoon to say goodbye.

This is just the 5th time in the history of the 101st that the entire division has been deployed all at once. The soldiers will be gone a year.

= Another savage cakewalk.

[sarcasmo]

1. The question is will it be mid 2006, or early 2007 for the Invasion.

If this happens make sure you have more than three days supply of food and water.

[louis-t]

3. It will surely be after 2006 elections.

Doing it before then would doom every Repub aligned with *.

[sarcasmo]

4. Don't you think it would force a DRAFT

[mnmoderatedem]

15. no question

we couldn't possibly mount a ground campaign against Iran without a draft. And if a draft is instituted, all hell is going to break loose in this country.

I can't believe the administration would be so clueless as to mount a campaign against Iran at this point, but we've all learned never to underestimate the cluelessness of the Chimperor...

edit: spelling

[buzzsaw_23]

7. My prediction

is pre-2006 election if bush's poll numbers stay in the dump. if things get marginally better for Chimperor than Feb-March 2007. Who knows if Cheney's health gets much worse he may call for an assault on everything. Sick men.

It's gonna happen. The natural gas situation in America is much worse than the oil and one rough winter could us out the door. Iran's natural gas reserves are more the issue than the oil and they are massive.

8. I'll do my best to keep everyone informed

my brother is with the 101st he leaves friday

[MichiganVote]

2. US stirring the turd

[Der Blaue Engel]

5. There can't be a single American who supports this

(outside of the 20 fuckbats over at Free Republic).

Okay, perhaps I underestimate the number of shit-stupid fuckbats in this country, but there's no way this fascist bunch will get the American people to support another war.

[htuttle]

13. Most Americans didn't support the last invasion

Yet they did it anyway.

[tanyev]

17. The "fuckbats" say they support it,

but there aren't many of them signing up to fight it, either.

[neverforget]

6. An invasion of Iran is going to require far more than a light infantry

division. It will require every bit of armor and infantry we have plus much, much more. An invasion is highly unlikely. Having said that, this is the Bush Administration and they defy logic and don't listen to experts consistently so they just might do it. I think it's more likely they will bomb Iran from the air and the shit will hit the fan from there.

[buzzsaw_23]

9. Agree

I don't see the US ever actually invading Iran with massive ground troops, the war weary US public, as torpid as they can be. wouldn't stand for this.The casualties would be enormous. I do think we will see a gradual increase in bombings and special forces ops that may try to destabilize.

Who knows? Cheney and Rumsfeld are unpredictable psycopaths.

More planned chaos.

[political_invader]

10. Well you said it these

asshats do what they want when they want. The more lives they take the happier they all are.

This will be my brothers 2nd tour to Iraq he told me after his first tour "it seems the powers to be are just looking for a reason to push the button."

Please I hope we get Dummy away from the control of any of that.

[sarcasmo]

11. If we are stupid enough to invade Iran, IMHO.

China will invade us from the west to collect their DEBT.

[buzzard]

18. At some point an invasion of some kind or just the decline of empire.n/t

[Flying Dream Blues]

12. NOOOOOOOO! I'm with the guy who had the sign that said,

"I can't believe we still have to protest this crap!"

[underpants]

19. LOL was that from the march on Saturday?

That's too funny.

[Flying Dream Blues]

21. Yep. I liked it, too! nt

[txaslftist]

14. Wonder if this is related to the recent uptick in USAF recruiting?

Cross into the Blue, Nuke an Iranian, too.

[cire4]

16. Hitler stood a better chance against Russia than....

The US does against Iran.

I doubt these neo-con idiots even know just how difficult an invasion of Iran is going to be, especially when they cannot even contain the relatively mild Iraq.

There's a reason why Western colonial powers dared not touch Iran....

[HereSince1628]

20. I'll wait for more evidence before I buy this.

The US doesn't have the military capacity to get into this.

The day that we initiate conscription I'll think about this again.

We can bomb Iran like crazy, but there is absolutely no reason to believe that we can bomb them into political change.
