Bush Closer to Bombing Iran
By Matthew Rothschild, March 13, 2008



The odds of Bush bombing Iran have gone up dramatically this week.

There’s just no other way to rationally interpret the resignation of Admiral William Fallon as head of Centcom.

Fallon resigned, and more likely was pushed out, after Esquire published an article on him entitled “The Man Between War and Peace.” It said he was the one standing in the way of Bush bombing Iran.

He’s not standing in the way any longer.

Actually, his rival, General David Petraeus, is now more powerful than ever. And as the Esquire article noted, Petraeus has said: "You cannot win in Iraq solely in Iraq."

Fallon seemed to understand the risk he was taking when he took the job as head of Centcom. He told Esquire: "Career capping? How about career detonating?"

Fallon’s fate as a weathervane for war with Iran has been clear since the time of his confirmation, when he told a source that an attack on Iran “will not happen on my watch.”

His watch just stopped.

He also said, a the time, “There are several of us trying to put the crazies back in the box.” .........(more)

1. I'm betting ...

shrub will bomb Iran and push for mcpain 'cause he's got military experience.

I blame Pelosi for not moving to impeach.

4. How much would you like to bet, and in what time period?

There has been non-stop predictions of bombing Iran since 2003. I'll bet it doesn't happen.

6. This is one time I sincerely hope I'm wrong. n/t

2. WWIII is coming

Bush on the way out is going to put America in WWIII

the Military is going to have to REBEL

we are at trying times

Rothschilds would know they profit on War Death and want to be the NWO this is the Only way

[Juche]

3. I hate to say it

But if this happens, then can we get impeachment? What the hell is wrong with these politicians?

Supposedly generals are going to quit en masse if Bush attacks

7. a snippet from an email I got today ...

Urgent: This Is Serious Folks, Admiral Fallon Fired To Clear Way For WW3, And Only Impeachment Can Save Us Now

Exactly what we had feared most, and had predicted, has happened.
Admiral Fallon, the man who famously said that an attack on Iran
would "not happen on my watch" was just "retired". Now, he is no
longer on the watch. And they are absolutely planning to start a war
with Iran and World War 3, against all strategic wisdom. And they are
absolutely planning on doing it before the next general election.
Indeed, they will mostly likely do it for the PURPOSE of tilting that
election, unless they are stopped first by impeachment.

We have one and only one hope.

Congress must immediately commence impeachment proceedings against
both Dick Cheney and George Bush, the shadow emperor and his
ventriloquist dummy.

And only one dynamic can force Congress to stand up for itself, the
impeachment based primary challenges now ongoing, and in particular
Shirley Golub's challenge to the speaker of the house herself, the
primary impediment to enforcing the Constitution, who has perversely
declared that impeachment will never happen on HER watch, Nancy
Pelosi.

Shirley Golub (is) taking action now. She wants to run the largest display
ad she can afford in her district's main newspaper, the San Francisco
Chronicle, calling out the Speaker of the House on her total failure
to do job number one, to protect and defend the Constitution. And if
Shirley can raise just $16,000 in the next 24 hours, she wants to do
it in the very next possible Sunday paper, in the main news section ...

5. I knew they wanted to give it everything they could so that the entire world would

be subservient and they could build safe pipelines to Exxon, BP, Israel and their offshore bank accounts and rules of law. But, I really relaxed in the last few weeks. Last night I had a horrible dream and now this resignation signal.

I wonder if the popularity of Obama affected any of this.

Please, for the sake of all humanity, we can't approve or sanction the sanctioneers who are mad and greedy beyond belief.

The Iranian people are good people. It's their religious leaders that have led them here.
The same is true in Israel.
The same is true in the U.S.

All phony religion and a relgious greed and obsession to control.
