US hawks smell blood
Here We go................


07/19/06 "IPS" -- -- WASHINGTON - Seeing a major opportunity to regain influence lost as a result of setbacks in Iraq, prominent neo-conservatives are calling for unconditional US support for Israel's military offensives in Gaza and Lebanon and "regime change" in Syria and Iran, as well as possible US attacks on Tehran's nuclear facilities in retaliation for its support of Hezbollah.

In a Weekly Standard column titled "Our war", editor William Kristol called Iran "the prime mover behind the terrorist groups who have started this war", which, he argued, should be considered part of "the global struggle against radical Islamism".

He complained that Washington recently had done a "poor job of standing up and weakening Syria and Iran" and called on President George W Bush to fly directly from the "silly summit in St Petersburg ... to Jerusalem, the capital of a nation that stands with us, and is willing to fight with us, against our common enemies".

"This is our war, too," said Kristol, who was also a founder and co-chairman of the recently lapsed Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

6. So why hasn't * responded with threats against Iran?
It isn't like he has the brains to arrive at a competing theory. After all these are the guys who got him to attack Iraq. Who is tuggin him in the other direction? Have Rummy and Cheney grown disillusioned with neocon thinking? Or is it just that nobody has yet told * how he is supposed to react?

18. They just won't give up
Their foolish, simplistic ideas have been totally discredited by the Iraq debacle, and yet they still keep pushing those ideas.

Perhaps at this point it is psychologically impossible for them to do otherwise. If they admit they were wrong then they killed a lot of people for nothing. Better to argue that we just need to keep going and take it to the next level. We just aren't trying hard enough.

19. This is just like pre-invasion of Iraq. People all over the
country seem to be getting hyped up about the Israelis wiping out Palestine and Lebanon with sights on Syria and Iran. Don't we ever learn? BuschCo has lied and manipulated us on EVERYthing, yet, he and his guys are on the verge of taking us to another war.
