'WHITE HOUSE INSIDER' CLAIMS TO HAVE
SEEN PLANS TO ATTACK IRAN
FROM THE AIR BEFORE
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
BUSH'S RESPONSE SPEECH
ALREADY WRITTEN, HE SAYS
TBR News ¨C October 11, 2004
Voice of the White House
In recent past issues, we have carried comments from a reporter assigned to the White House press corps. Some of these remarks, most especially one about Bush¡¯s physical and mental problems, drew an enormous number of viewers and hundreds of inquiries, most especially from foreign press entities. The reporter advised us by email that there was rampant fury in the White House and security was becoming very tight. As a result of this, he decided to lay low for a few weeks and see how the wind was blowing. Yesterday, he sent us the following material which we are now posting. Some of it is outrageous in the extreme but to date, no one has proven him wrong.
Our source was the first to expose and we were the first to make public, the accusations that the President of the United States was a man that suffered from serious psychological problems. Since our initial publication of what we call the Madness of King George, there has been increasing interest in the subject and herewith, we present additional input from inside the White House.
October 10, 2004: ¡°This time, friends, I have some very important news for all of you. Unlike the usual silly gossip that goes on around the White House, intermingled with loud praying, this is really news. We are about to embark on another war! Yes, it has been decided and carefully planned. Who are we going to war with? Iran. Background here: (I am taking this from a paper which I have to return)
Thesis: Iran hates the United States and Israel. Iran has atomic weapons and missiles (the Shahab, courtesy of North Korean/Russian technicians) It can easily reach Tel Aviv. It can also reach US troop concentrations in Iraq. Israel is scared shitless. Their pressure groups have leaned on the White House, with a great deal of assistance from Cheney and the Neocons. The actual plan is this:
The U.S. has no troops available for an Iranian adventure and the Israelis would rather not lose any warm bodies so¡it has been firmly decided that both Israel and the U.S. will launch a surprise attack against 1., Iranian missile sites, 2. Iranian nuclear facilities and 3. the leadership of Iran located in and around Tehran. How will this be done? By aircraft attack using U.S. developed ¡°smart bombs¡± and the so-called ¡°bunker-buster¡± bombs designed to destroy underground reinforced concrete facilities .We just sent these to Israel. Because of the political ramifications, the Israelis will conduct the main strikes, supported by U.S. aircraft as needed. The aim will be to wipe out any vestige of nuclear weaponry, its delivery system and all the Iranian leaders capable of starting any attacks on Israel (mostly Tel Aviv¡too many fellow Muslims in Jerusalem.) Since it would be a problem for Israeli Air Force units to fly round trip from Israel, the solution will be to launch these
attacks from U.S. aircraft carriers located in the Persian Gulf area.
As I write, the super carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) is now in the Persian Gulf along with the so-called Essex Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) [31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) (SOC)] which consists of:: USS Essex (LHD 2) USS Juneau (LPD 10) USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) USS Mobile Bay (CG 53USS Hopper (DDG 70) USS Preble (DDG 88) The initial attacks will be an early-morning surprise attack launched to coincide with religious services in Tehran¡¯s Muslim mosques with the idea of catching not only the leading Mullahs inside but a large number of their congregations as well. One attack will concentrate on these religious centers and the other will hit both the underground nuclear facilities and identified (courtesy of U.S. satellite shots) missile launching sites. The U.S. will supply observation and radio surveillance aircraft with radar-jamming capacities operating out of Turkey and Italy. T
The entire attack is scheduled to last no more than one hour with at least three waves of Israeli aircraft utilized. No warning will be given to the Iranians and no declaration of war. The possible deaths of foreign diplomats in the attacks has been discussed and accepted as part of the price. This attack has the full support of the President who wants it launched before the elections. He can then make a speech to the American people stating that the evil Iranian nuclear weaponry has been destroyed by the Israelis with the full cooperation of his government as part of his heroic war against terrorists. Believe me, that speech has already been written and I have seen a copy of it. The brass here feels that this will have a tremendous impact on the American people, just before the elections. No U.S. ground troops will be used; Bush will stress that this is a joint U.S.-Israeli anti-terrorist project.
Part of the speech deals with ongoing Shiite Iranian physical support of their Shiite brethren in Iraq and that by knocking out the Iranian nuclear weaponry, at the same time, they are protecting GIs from ongoing guerrilla warfare. The brass is literally rubbing it's hands and drooling over what they see as Bush's Final Victory. I have seen a negative report copy from someone in the Pentagon [who is not going to get promoted] that says if the Iranians get wind of this little game, they might strike first and they might also realize that large numbers of vulnerable American troops are concentrated inside Iraqi cities, prime targets for a nuclear tactical attack. These people are literally insane and I really hope you don't delete this. Something really has to be done to stop these maniacs before we all die of radiation sickness! | |  | | Alpha | | | | Alpha | | | | Alpha | | | | Alpha | | Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2004 7:24 am Post subject: New War Dangers if Bush Re-Elected |
| BUSH RE-ELECTION COULD LEAD TO IMPERIAL DREAMS -- If the president wins, he will oversee a more radical administration than his first and take the win as carte blanche to go ahead with pre-emption - -
By Georgie Anne Geyer, from Washington - Chicago Tribune - October 15, 2004
The most repeated observation about the outcome of the presidential election is that the policy on the Iraq war will turn out essentially the same, no matter which candidate wins. Either President Bush or Sen. John Kerry, the reasoning goes, will be forced to work through Iraqi elections, the continued use of military force and a gradual withdrawal of American troops, probably over a period of years. The corollary argument is that because neither can afford a precipitous change in the pattern already in place, Americans can expect much of the same, post-election. >From the traditional non-neocon conservative right, this "behavioral equivalence" presumes that Bush will be forced, by events and his own realization of the disaster that Iraq has become, to return to a less radical stature. Farewell, dreams of empire! >From the left and moderate Democratic and Republican centers, the senator is seen as a man who, despite his opposition to the Iraq war and his severe differences with the neocons, will find himself obliged not to lose another American war. Farewell, dreams of peace! The only problem is that these suppositions are simply inaccurate -- and we Americans should start thinking now about what will really happen in the crucial days after Nov. 2. If Bush wins again, he will oversee an even more radical administration than his first. With his all-or-nothing temperament, he will take re-election as carte blanche to go ahead with his program of pre-emption and imperium. Rather than pulling back from future Iraqs, he will rush ahead, feeling ordained by history. In a second Bush administration, virtually all the moderates will disappear. Almost surely, Colin Powell will leave as secretary of state, and with him many of his allies. Donald Rumsfeld may leave as defense secretary, and although he is no moderate, he is also not a neocon. His leaving would open the Pentagon to the neocons just below him, none of whom shows the slightest embarrassment or regret about the mess they've made in Iraq. All of them can be expected to push ahead with more crazy schemes after Nov. 2. Talk around town is that National Security Council adviser Condoleezza Rice would be in the secretary of state slot, thus substantially decreasing any opposition from there to Bush's expansionist dreams. Also, there's talk that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz would be named secretary of defense, cementing the power of the radical neocons in the defense establishment. No group with counter ideas has in the last four years been allowed to flourish, mainly because the president is so attuned to their pugnacious ideas and dependent on their flattering attention. The idea that a dependent yet stubborn president could suddenly change seems quite improbable. In fact, as numerous indicators attest, the neocon group around the president is already readying for the next step: to force the U.S. to take on Iran as well as Iraq, and perhaps then Syria. The ideas being bandied around from Washington to Jerusalem involve Iran's growing nuclear capacity, which would be the target of an air attack by Israeli forces with the complicity of the United States. Indeed, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations said publicly at this fall's General Assembly opening that the terrorist threat was not to be found in Iraq but in Iran (an old fear). But the Iranians, hardly unaware of these public musings, have already taken their, shall we say, precautions. Since the beginning of the American occupation of Iraq, foreign intelligence services say, between 1 million and 3 million Iranians have crossed over into Iraq (many of these are Shiites who were expelled during the 1980s wars; nevertheless, they greatly enlarge the Iraqi Shiite population). Even more important, the Iranians say that if Israelis attack them, they are ready to send three Iranian divisions across the border into Iraq to attack American and coalition forces, who would then be fighting wars on three fronts, if you include Afghanistan. There are those in the neocon camp making policy around Bush who talk of "eternal war," supposedly as a way to transform the world. With the perceived national approval of re-election--at the same time that the American military has said it will wage an all-out attack to reclaim the cities of Iraq--it would be expected that an inflated Bush would march deeper into conflicts he has identified from the beginning. But Iran is far from the only next stop for the neocons, with their intimate relationship with the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Besides Iran, in a second term their intentions are to oust Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and overthrow the Syrian Baathist regime. If the United States is to have another four years of this kind of foreign policy, it will come to be considered an outlaw in the world, most of its historical standards and principles in tatters and its future unknown. In a first Kerry administration, on the other hand, there would, at least at first, be few miracles. His would be the hard business of extricating us from Iraq without leaving behind a shameful period of history. His would be the formidable job of building up American stature and values in the current absence of them in the world. But at least we'd have a chance. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
