“SECRETIVE BRIEFING OFFERS CREDIBILITY
Eagle news services
Officials claim weapons came from Iran, targeted Iraq, U.S.
BAGHDAD -- U.S. defense and intelligence officials, seeking to lend credibility to allegations that Iran is providing weapons to Shiite militants in Iraq, on Sunday displayed munitions and fragments of weapons that they said constituted solid evidence that Tehran was contributing to Iraq's violence.
They also alleged that a group under the command of Iran's supreme leader was behind the smuggling of the weaponry across the Iran-Iraq border.”
Now the big question is what will President George Bush do? The US has been an imperialist power since President Teddy Roosevelt took office around the turn of the last century. Actually we were imperialist to some degree, before that, but we have been a major imperialist power since then and we are not the main imperialist power.
Bush is probably the most ignorant of empire builders. It’s no surprise the US is fighting to control the last of the worlds main oil fields, but starting a military conflict with Iran at a time like this is just plain stupid even for a blatantly imperialist president.
The war is costing us young men’s lives, a work force shortage, a huge spending deficit and stretching our military to an all time record level since World War II. To get in a tiff with Iran at a time like this is pure insanity. But then we’re talking of Bush, the most ignorant, unintelligent president we’ve had, possibly in the history of the country.
Iran has seasoned guerillas who had battled both the Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi regime and then the Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini government. An attempt to occupy Iran will make Iraq look like a minor scrimmage.
And yet our leader is a man who listens to know one and has already proven an ability to destabilize and plunge our country into a new Vietnam.
