Alexis Debat (ABC liar) and the push to invade Iran (circular screaming)

The Moving Finger Writes

United States and Iran Danger signals

US blitz to destroy Iran army? Pentagon plans massive air strikes to wipe out Tehran’s military in three days, screams a headline in The Times of India (September 3). One rubs one’s eyes wondering whether one reads correctly. There is no need to wonder. The paper has merely reproduced a report that appeared in Sunday Times of London—a paper not given to exaggeration—and the latter merely quotes what was said at an important meeting by an American expert on Terrorism and National Security, Mr Alexis Debat—and there was no misquotation of any kind involved here.

According to Debat, the Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive strikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, including its nuclear assets. The very thought is frightening. The Pentagon reportedly thinks this is “a very legitimate calculus” and American military planners seem determined not just to give Iran ‘pin-pricks’ but “taking out the entire Iranian military”. This is international criminality at its worst.

1. Perhaps if the 2008 "anti-war" dems had been anti-war in 2003
We would be in a better place.

I really don't care what Edwards or Hillary has to say about Iraq. Their only mission now should be to avoid war with Iran.

Peace takes courage. Lets see some courage in regards to war with Iran.
It takes no real courage to rally against a mistake (the Iraq war)that you were a cheerleader for.

3. A challenge to DU - suspend all election threads and concentrate
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 10:16 AM by higher class
on the legality of and ability to get Congress stop the Bombing of Iran.

Make Congress do something or make Congress tell us what to do.

Suspend talk and direct the energy to what happens if elections are ended in this country starting with another catastrophe in this country that kicks off another round of patriotic killing and the death and maiming and undercare of our children.

The urgent situtation is that Congress is the key. Deny every person involved in elections the attention until we are safe.

It's all about getting the priorities straight. Elections follow stability.

We are in a most unstable situation.

The crisis of an event leading to the bombing of Iran is now through October - the air is thick with talk of October - time is our enemy.

2. Here is another "Headline" for you...

"Pentagon plans massive strike to wipe out London." and "Military planners have active plans to nuke Chinese army!"

They have plans... yup, they do. They have plans for almost every possible scenario. That is their job.

The Pentagon does not (I continue to hope) make policy. They have plans for executing whatever policy the President and the Congress agree to. What we need to stop (this being a democracy and all) is the policy, especially the "unitary executive" theory of government.

The Pentagon is just doing what we pay them to do. Plans are not actions. Nor are they intent. They are just plans.

4. Everyone looks at the WH and the Pentagon brass. Back it up.
The barons state the goals.

The politicians (the ones whose face you see and voice you hear are the messengers)
and lawmakers (even when it is a law onto a politician)
are key in presenting it and making it somewhat legal for those who might speak out.

PNAC drew up the outline.

It's the think tanks who came up with all the various schematics to figure out how it would work ALONGSIDE their parallel planners and strategizers in the Pentagon and intelligence units.

They involve many, many more to test their strategies and numbers.

It is a vast destruction and takeover force.

This Alexis guy is an intense and loyal player on the public relations and support team.

Not to be forgotten, some are involved intensely because of an Israel first agenda.
