US war and Iran

It was gathering speed for the last year or so shouting and threatening Iran about their Nuclear ambitions, by Bush and Cheney. But yesterday Bush gave a speech and said:
"The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that was issued on Monday, reflecting the assessments made by 16 US spy agencies, reversed the conclusion made two years earlier that Iran was seeking to develop nuclear weapons and instead claimed the country had “halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.”
It also expressed the opinion that Iran would be unable to produce a nuclear weapon, if it were to attempt to do so, before the year 2015."

It is nice to see that happen as the petrol prices are going to go down now as the imminent war with Iran is not there any more. Mmmmm not really as the Dollar is going down against the Euro the prices might go up. It is crazy init? The European central bank is going to raise the interest rates by 0.25% and the US Feds going to lower the interest rates in 11th this month according to Jim Jubak.

But it does not stop there as the US are preparing the Sunni communities in Iraq to keep the Iraqi Shiites who are friendly with Iran from attacking USmilitary in case of war with Iran. The plan has already been drawn for the US military to stay in Iraq for a long time. Have a look at this:

"According to figures cited by McClatchy Newspapers on November 28, the US military in Iraq has recruited 192 Sunni tribal councils and “local citizens groups” to put more than 77,500 Sunni militiamen onto the streets of a number of Iraqi cities and towns, including areas of Baghdad. The fighters, many of whom were previously part of anti-occupation guerilla cells, receive a salary of some $US300 per month. American officials told McClatchy Newspapers last month that they intend to enlist at least 100,000.

Those who have embraced the US occupation form a wealthy stratum of Sunni tribal leaders, former state officials and army officers who were loyal to Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party. They are hostile to Iran, the Shiite parties and the Sunni fundamentalist movements such as Al Qaeda in Iraq that emerged after the US invasion and challenged the Baathists’ authority over the Sunni population. They represent a sizeable layer of the Sunni elite who have concluded that their best prospects for restoring their power and privileges is to collaborate with the very foreign force that overthrew them.

The Sunni militia forces have been assembled completely outside the authority or control of the Iraqi government and the new Iraqi military. Given that the US government pays them, they are quite literally American mercenaries."

Then I found this:

"In the summer of 2005, senior American intelligence officials began traveling the world with a secret slide show drawn from thousands of pages that they said were downloaded from a stolen Iranian laptop computer, trying to prove that Iran was lying when it said it had no interest in building a nuclear weapon."

My thoughts are like this. Remember Pakistan went a bit awry last moonth when the President declared emergency and started locking up the opposition members and the Judiciary. Then the US sent military inside Pakistan and took over the Nuclear facilities so that if a rogue took over as the head of the army the things will not go wrong. Now we know the US helped Pakistan, India and Israel to get the nuclear bombs. So US can take over these facilities in case of trouble. But then again if there is a World War or something then the US have got a arsenal of nuclear bombs not just in US but in many countries. Does not matter these countries side with US or not, they will be used by US for their own way. Now what are the Russians and the Chinese doing now?

When you look at this you can see a better picture of it.

"Is Iran currently developing nuclear weapons? No. Could it do so sometime in the future? Sure. According to ElBaradei, some forty-nine countries “now know how to make nuclear arms,” including Japan, South Korea, and other U.S. allies. Neither the United States nor the UN Security Council can militarily prevent each of those countries from making a Bomb, said ElBaradei. “We are relying primarily on the continued good intentions of these countries, intentions which are in turn based on their sense of security.”41"

On the same note the Jews do not like the report. They say Iran will make the first bomb in 2009. They been trying to push Bush into bombing Iran all this time. Mr Lieberman has come into the scene.

"The very fact that Lieberman was brought into the cabinet by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last year was calculated to inflame tensions with Tehran. Lieberman, a right-wing nationalist and racist, is notorious for his calls for the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Arabs, the bombing of Palestinian civilians and the targeting of Egypt’s Aswan High Dam. Olmert handed him the specially created post of strategic affairs minister, dealing with threats to Israel, with a particular focus on Iran. In 2001, Lieberman openly advocated the use of nuclear weapons against Iran."

I don't know; if another country had a Deputy Prime Minister, who is a rascist and a blood thirsty proxy-killer, we in UK and US people will be howling to put sanctions on that country or do a regime change.
