New Effort Needed to Prevent Impending Attack on Iran
This seems some kind of surreal nightmare from an apocalyptic comic book story, but alas, it is true. The war criminals currently grasping the levers of power in the American government are in the throes of finalizing plans to attack Iran and plunge the world into complete turmoil (birth pangs of a new Mideast and all, you know. Dawning of a New World Order). And these people call themselves ‘Christians’. So much for ‘Blessed are the Peacemakers’ I guess. But then, that is sooo Pre-9/11 mindset. Don’t you know, 9/11 everything changed. Everything. Even our values and principles. Or so say the neo-con artist ‘christians,’ the ultimate apocalyptic post-modernists.
As reports circulate of a sharp debate within the White House over possible US military action against Iran and its nuclear enrichment facilities, The Nation has learned that the Bush Administration and the Pentagon have issued orders for a major “strike group” of ships, including the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower as well as a cruiser, destroyer, frigate, submarine escort and supply ship, to head for the Persian Gulf, just off Iran’s western coast. This information follows a report in the current issue of Time magazine, both online and in print, that a group of ships capable of mining harbors has received orders to be ready to sail for the Persian Gulf by October 1.
The ironies in this report abound. A military spokesman named “Kafka” and the ship leading the attack armada is the Eisenhower, named after the President and war hero general who warned us that the greatest danger to our republic lay within from the monied interests of the military-industrial-congressional complex. It is truly tragic that his name is being used as a moniker for a weapon to initiate the kind of process he warned us most emphatically against.

Bush is so simple minded that he does not even realize his condition. However, this simplimindedness allows him to come up with this possible outcome, never mind that we do not have the proper military even if it would be the right thing to do, which it is not.
