布什爬上反伊朗修辭
星期二， 2007年10月2日
由 巴爾尼搬運工 它報告美國也許移動了步離軍事行動較近反對伊朗，但也有在潛在目標上的一個變化。 一個新的報告建議所有攻擊的目標是伊朗的革命衛兵，而不是國家的核設施。 普利策得獎的新聞工作者Seymour Hersh書寫關於美國罷工的可能性在伊朗在過去18個月。 在他的最新的文章上為 紐約人 雜誌和在電視採訪，他聲稱澳洲有「表達的興趣」在概念。 公眾值得懷疑在他的最新的文章上為 紐約人 他爭論布什政府承認了美國公眾不是說服伊朗姿勢每臨近核威脅。 同時，他說有一個更新的焦點在攻擊的增長的數量對聯合力量的在伊拉克，并且聲稱伊朗軍火扮演一個關鍵角色。 這是講話的一部分由喬治・ W布什總統在八月下旬。 「對我們的基地和我們的隊伍的攻擊由伊朗由供應的軍火在最近幾個月內增加了，儘管承諾由幫助的伊朗穩定安全情況在伊拉克」，布什先生在講話說。 「我在伊拉克將採取行動必要保護我們的隊伍，我批准我們的軍事司令員面對德黑蘭的凶惡的活動」。 hersh先生援引這修辭作為從布什政府出來的改變的口氣的證據。 「比賽的名字曾經是他們是一個核威脅，伊朗很快有炸彈，我們必須做它，我們有戰前在伊拉克有點兒的同一場比賽」，他說。 「什麼發生是那最後幾個月他們來了到是它不賣的認識，美國人民沒有擔心伊朗作為一個核威脅，一定，他們關於伊拉克，那裡是正義的一些懷疑。 「如此他們交換了，真正地」。 hersh先生說他相信現在有公眾輿論在的美國公眾之內，如果伊朗活躍地追求計劃開發核武器，他們是外至少五年從他們的目標。 他說在管理的方法中打翻了轉移。 “Instead of trying to sell it, not only to the American people but to its allies, the notion of a massive bombing against the infrastructure, what they call counter-proliferation against the infrastructure of the Iraqi bomb, hitting the various facilities that we know exist - instead, they’ve now decided that they’re going to hit the Iranians, payback for hitting us,” he said. “They’re going to hit the Revolutionary Guard headquarters and facilities, they’re going to tone down the bombing, they’re going to shift it. It’s going to be more surgical.” Mr Hersh says the new strategy involves a subtle change of targets. “We’re threatening Iran, we’ve been doing it constantly, but instead of saying to the American people and instead of saying internally, ‘It’s going to be about nuclear weapons’, it’s now going about getting the guys that are killing our boys,” he said. “We’re going to hit the border facilities, the facilities inside Iraq that we think are training terrorists, we’re going to hit the facilities we think are supplying some of the explosive devices into Iraq. “This is the administration’s position.” Australia on board?He also claims the Bush administration’s new focus is getting support from its allies, including Australia. “The Brits are interested in this idea, there have been expressions of interest from Australia, other countries, the Israelis of course have gone bananas, they’re very upset about the idea of not going,” he said. “If you’re going to go into Iran, the Israeli position is very firm, they want us to go, and they want us to hit hard. … An Israeli told me, if you run into a lion, you either shoot it, or ignore it, you don’t pluck out its eyebrows. “Going in and taking out the Revolutionary Guard and not taking out the nuclear facilities, for the Israelis is it a non-starter. “But that’s the plan, the plan is to be more surgical, more careful, and they’re getting some of their allies on board.” Last week, Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer said he called on Iran to stop supplying weapons to militias in Iraq during a recent bilateral meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister. A spokesman for the Minister’s office declined to respond to Mr Hersh’s latest claims. ‘The opening gambit’Dr Michael McKinley, a senior lecturer in International Relations and Strategy at the Australian National University, says a US attack would lead to war. “If the United States was to engage in surgical strikes, as some people are once again talking about, you would have to say that Iran could very well behave in such a way, and there’d be a broad scope of possibilities here, where a widely escalated war would need to ensue after that, because I cannot imagine that Iran would just allow itself to be attacked without taking some sort of forceful reaction,” he said. He is unconvinced an attack on Iran would stop with ’surgical strikes’. “You have to challenge the logic of it, because if you attack Iran because it seems to be supporting activities inside Iraq, then by the logic that everybody in the decision-making framework seems to have, Iran would then speed up its alleged nuclear weapons program,” he said. “That would be the logical way of regarding an Iranian reaction, which would then of course require a further and much stronger reaction on its nuclear sites from the United States. “So this would appear to be only the opening gambit, rather than a one-off, if you take everybody’s logic at face value.” Dr McKinley says he believes there there is a disposition in the US administration to take some form of military action against Iran. “I would be more surprised rather than less surprised if there was not an attack sometime before the Bush administration leaves office,” he said. Mr Hersh agrees. “What I do know, is he wants to do something,” he said. “He will not leave Iran in a position to be a nuclear power and a position to be a threat.” Have Your Say: Bush steps up anti-Iran rhetoric Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
