Tragom vijesti: "SAD planira napad nuklearnim oružjem na Iran?" George W. Bush tajno je poslao vojne snage u Iran i u napadu se planira poslužiti nuklearnim oružjem, piše The New Yorker. Američke i europske tajne službe te IAEA složile su se da Iran već neko vrijeme provodi istraživanja u svrhu moguće proizvodnje nuklearnog oružja. Iran se brani od optužbi govoreći da provodi istraživanje isključivo u mirovne svrhe. Međutim, predsjednik Bush i ostali dužnosnici Bijele kuće novog iranskog predsjednika Mahmuda Ahamadinejdžada smatraju novim Adolfom Hitlerom i pribojavaju se da bi Iran mogao imati strateško oružje za novi svjetski rat. Dužnosnik blizak Pentagonu rekao je da je Bush apsolutno uvjeren da Iran radi bombu i da mora učiniti ono što niti jedan demokrat ni republikanac poslije njega neće imati hrabrosti. Prošlih nekoliko tjedana GWB je tajno razgovarao sa svojim savjetnicima i senatorima o zračnom udaru na Iran. Prema izvoru, uopće se nije raspravljalo o tome hoće li Amerikanci izvesti napad, već se govorilo o načinu i mogućoj strategiji, dakle napad na Iran već je odlučena stvar. Detaljnije... Another Day In Empire As Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Reagan administration, notes in his latest column, the Straussian neocons are so hubris-filled and suicidally arrogant they now endanger the very prospect of life on the planet. “An article in the current issue of Foreign Affairs,” Roberts writes, “long regarded as a voice of the American foreign policy establishment, concludes that the Bush regime ‘is openly seeking primacy in every dimension of modern military technology, both in its conventional arsenal and in its nuclear forces.’ The article suggests that the US has now achieved nuclear superiority and could succeed with a preemptive nuclear attack on both Russia and China. Considering the extreme delusions of the neoconservative warmongers who control the Bush regime, the publication of this article will encourage more aggressive assertions of American hegemony” and the distinct possibility of the end of human life (cockroaches will probably survive, as they have survived for several hundred million years). “The Bush regime has succeeded in committing America to a belligerent and messianic foreign policy that means years of wars at a minimum and likely preemptive US nuclear attacks against other countries.” But even if the Russians and Chinese don’t wipe out the somnolent, American Idol worshipping masses in response to a neocon “preemptive” nuclear strike, the cost of such insanity will make life for the average American miserable, if untenable. “The classic method of war finance is inflation. The Romans destroyed the intrinsic value of their coinage with lead. When the US can no longer sell its bonds, it can print money,” thus creating decimating hyper-inflation. Neoliberal globalism continues to slow impoverish America. “The US might have nuclear primacy, but it no longer has economic primacy. The US economy has been living on debt. In 2005 American consumers overspent their incomes for the first time since the Great Depression. The rising trade deficit is cutting into economic growth. Middle class jobs for Americans are being lost to offshore outsourcing and to foreigners brought in on work visas. Salaries in the jobs that remain are being forced down. Adjusted for inflation, starting salaries for university graduates are declining. Business Week’s Michael Mandel (September 15, 2005) compared starting salaries in 2005 with those in 2001.” Most of us are locked in a downward spiral, a sort of slow-motion train wreck with horror and misery up ahead. “Polls show that Americans are opposed to open borders and amnesties for illegals. But a government willing to dictate to the world is willing to dictate to its own citizens. We are witnessing the American citizen’s loss of his voice and the rise of concentrated power. The primacy that the neocons are seeking over the world will prevail over the American people, too.” Read more... Iran Focus Tehran, Iran, Apr. 09 – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi blasted on Sunday what it described as a “psychological war” by the United States against the Islamic Republic after an American magazine reported that the Bush administration was considering carrying out military strikes against Iran’s nuclear sites. In an article in The New Yorker magazine, acclaimed investigative journalist Seymour Hersh quoted anonymous current and former U.S. officials as saying that Washington had increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack on its nuclear sites. “This psychological war is due to America’s anger and desperation”, Asefi said at his weekly press conference. “[The U.S.] does not want Iran to reach an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Europe, or Russia therefore it is carrying out a psychological war – something it has done before”, he said. He added that Tehran was willing to face the consequences of its decision to continue its uranium enrichment program. “Our red line is our right to carry out the nuclear work”, Asefi said.
