(After the first successful testing of the Atomic Bomb)
"A single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all of the allied air forces in the Second World War". -President John F. Kennedy - Commencement Address at American University in Washington, 10 June 1963
"A bomb can now be manufactured which will be 25.000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima." - Bertrand Russell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway here we go again as the U.S. prepares to go to war against Iran & so the “ SPIN ” & propaganda begin with almost an unending barrage of negative reporting on Iran by the President & the Neocons & all those Media Personalities who pretend to be “ real journalist”.
The hypocrisy & duplicity of the Bush administration knows no bounds . While criticizing Iran’s government for being ruthless, brutal & inhumane; the Bush administration defends & condones the use of torture, renditions, mass bombings of civilian populations & the use of Death Squads to carry out assassinations & the indiscriminate use of Incendiary bombs to melt the bodies of innocent civilians . Meanwhile they continue to lie to the world & to their own citizens about why they invaded Iraq & claiming that all is going as planned & that everything is just Hunky Dory in Iraq except for a few malcontents .
Meanwhile on the Home Front they justify investigating & wire-tapping & monitoring computer activity of anyone who dares to criticize the Bush administration ‘s policies & labeling all such critics as unpatriotic . Now Rumsfeld characterizes many of the administration’s critics in the Media as being dupes of the massive & sophisticated propaganda manufactured by Al Qeda & America’s other elusive enemies .
But now in their manufactured crisis against Iran the Bush administration is planning to attack & invade Iran & claims that it is justified in using Nuclear Weapons in a pre-emptive strike on a country which has no nuclear weapons. They are trying to soften up the public in order to make “ the Unthinkable ” thinkable and therefore as an acceptable option.
In my last post I discussed the long & credible career of investigative journalist Seymour Hersh & it is to his recent writings that much of the plans & agenda of the Bush administration in regard to Iran have been revealed & he seems to have hit a nerve & stirred up a “hornets’ nest ”.
As Seymour Hersh says, in a recent article in the New Yorker,
“ The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups. The officials say that President Bush is determined to deny the Iranian regime the opportunity to begin a pilot program, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium.
And “...that President Bush’s ultimate goal in the nuclear confrontation with Iran is regime change. ”
And he goes on to report that:
“ in the event of an attack, the Air Force intended to strike many hundreds of targets in Iran ...“ninety-nine per cent of them have nothing to do with proliferation. There are people who believe it’s the way to operate”.
And further that “ the ( US covert operations) units were also working with minority groups in Iran... to “encourage ethnic tensions” and undermine the regime. ”
But what is also troubling about what’s taking place is that it is another move on the Administration’s part to consolidate more power to the White House as Seymour Hersh says:
“ The new mission for the combat troops is a product of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld ’s long-standing interest in expanding the role of the military in covert operations...Such activities, if conducted by C.I.A. operatives, would need a Presidential Finding and would have to be reported to key members of Congress.
“ ‘Force protection’ is the new buzzword,” the former senior intelligence official ...referring to the Pentagon’s position that clandestine activities that can be broadly classified as preparing the battlefield or protecting troops are military, not intelligence, operations, and are therefore not subject to congressional oversight...”

THE IRAN PLANS
Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb?
by SEYMOUR M. HERSH
Issue of 2006-04-17
Other journalists & military insiders have confirmed that there is a lot of credible evidence which supports Hersh’s assertions about the Bush administrations plans for attacking Iran. And the planning of the attack & invasion of Iran has been in the works since 2002 .
For instance :
from the Turkish Press.com
Pentagon declines comment on report of Iran strike plans
Published: 4/17/2006
http://www.turkishpress.com
William Arkin, a well-connected military analyst writing in the Washington Post on Sunday, said the planning has been conducted under the codename TIRANNT, an acronym for Theater Iran Near Term.
It includes a scenario for a land invasion led by the US Marine Corps, a detailed analysis of the Iranian missile force and a global strike plan against any Iranian weapons of mass destruction, Arkin wrote.
Army General John Abizaid, the commander of the US Central Command, was given the task of planning military options for Iran in 2002 and by May 2003 the planning was underway in earnest, according to Arkin.

But the rationale for going to war with Iran is , in fact, questionable & is reminiscent of the accusations that Saddam Hussein had “ Weapons of Mass Destruction ” & was linked to Al Qeda & the 9/11 attack which turned out to be just lies the Bush Administration told to justify attacking Iraq .
As Director General Mohamed Eibaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency has said that Iran is not a nuclear threat to the world & urges calm & diplomacy in discussing the issue.
As Eibaradei said ,
Iran’s “ nuclear program was not "an imminent threat" and that the time had come to "lower the pitch" of debate.
And he added:
"The issue of [uranium] enrichment right now, as emotional as it is, is not urgent," he said. "So, we have ample time to negotiate a settlement by which, as I said, Iran's need for nuclear power is assured and the concern of the international community is also put to rest."
