The Pentagon has plans to take out the entire Iranian military in three days.
The media is not reporting this. All they care about is Senator Craig, Hillary and Obama’s horse race, and stupid video clips on YouTube. It’s Iraq all over again. And still — nobody will care.
This is exactly what the The Kennebunkport Warning is about. You cannot find this in the newspaper right now to save your life. But just wait. Any day now they’ll be launching a full-scale media campaign to make the case for a “pre-emptive” war against Iran (even though by then they will have probably already started dropping bombs) and people will eat up every word of it.
Today I got this in an email from Antiwar.com:
“They [the source's institution] have ‘instructions’ (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don’t think they’ll ever get majority support for this – they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is plenty.”
This comes via Barnett R. Rubin, Director of Studies and Senior Fellow at New York University’s Center on International Cooperation, and a leading expert on Afghanistan, who has it from “a friend who has excellent connections in Washington and whose information has often been prescient.” According to Rubin’s anonymous sibyl – or is that seer? – we can look forward to “a big kickoff on September 11.”
Even Fox News is reporting it now: Pentagon ‘three-day blitz’ plan for Iran, along with the Daily Kos.
I’m guessing they won’t need to make much of a case to such an apathetic and distracted public, but if we do put up any sort of a fight — you can bet they’ll give us another 9/11 to shut everyone up. And yes, that will be an inside job too.
Seriously.
Are people gonna fall for this all over again? This is perfectly acceptable behavior?
