Geheim Bush dat verwijdt Oorlog op Iran „vindt“
Vrijdag, 2 Mei, 2008
Behandelt de geheime richtlijn van Bush acties over een reusachtig geografisch gebied - van Libanon aan Afghanistan - maar is veel ook vegend in het type van acties die onder zijn richtlijnen - tot en met inbegrip van de moord van gerichte ambtenaren worden toegelaten. Dit verwijde werkingsgebied ontruimt de manier, bijvoorbeeld, voor volledige steun voor het militaire wapen van mujahedin-E Khalq, de groep van de cultish Iraanse oppositie, ondanks zijn verdragende positie inzake de lijst van de Afdeling van de Staat van terroristengroepen. Op dezelfde manier kunnen de heimelijke fondsen nu zonder beperking aan Jundullah stromen, of „leger van god,“ de militante Sunni groep in Iraanse Baluchistan - enkel over de Afghaanse grens - de waarvan leider niet zo lang geleden op Dan Rather die Reports gekenmerkt werd zijn broer in de keel van de wet snijdt. Tot onlangs, zag het beleid een ernstige hindernis voor actie tegen Iran in de vorm van Centcom bevelhebbersAdmiraal William onder ogen Fallon, die geen geheim van zijn contempt voor officiële bepaling maakte om ons aan oorlog te nemen. In wijd bekend gemaakt inherent laatste Januari, benaderden de Iraanse patrouilleboten de V.S. schip in wat het Pentagoon als „taunting“ manier beschreef. Volgens Centcom personeelsambtenaren, stond de Amerikaanse bevelhebber ter plekke brand te openen op het punt. Op dat punt, de V.S. was dicht bij oorlog. Hij hield slechts toen Fallon opdracht gaf tot hem persoonlijk en uitdrukkelijk niet op om te ontspruiten. Het witte Huis, volgens de personeelsambtenaren, was absoluut woedend „“ met Fallon voor het onschadelijk maken van het incident. Fallon has since departed. His abrupt resignation in early March followed the publication of his unvarnished views on our policy of confrontation with Iran, something that is unlikely to happen to his replacement, George Bush’s favorite general, David Petraeus. Though Petraeus is not due to take formal command at Centcom until late summer, there are abundant signs that something may happen before then. A Marine amphibious force, originally due to leave San Diego for the Persian Gulf in mid June, has had its sailing date abruptly moved up to May 4. A scheduled meeting in Europe between French diplomats acting as intermediaries for the U.S. and Iranian representatives has been abruptly cancelled in the last two weeks. Petraeus is said to be at work on a master briefing for congress to demonstrate conclusively that the Iranians are the source of our current troubles in Iraq, thanks to their support for the Shia militia currently under attack by U.S. forces in Baghdad. Interestingly, despite the bellicose complaints, Petraeus has made little effort to seal the Iran-Iraq border, and in any case two thirds of U.S. casualties still come from Sunni insurgents. “The Shia account for less than one third,” a recently returned member of the command staff in Baghdad familiar with the relevant intelligence told me, “but if you want a war you have to sell it.” Even without the covert initiatives described above, the huge and growing armada currently on station in the Gulf is an impressive symbol of American power. Armed Might of US Marred By Begging Bowl to Arabs Sometime in the next two weeks, fleet radar operator may notice a blip on their screens that represents something rather more profound: America’s growing financial weakness. The blip will be former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin’s plane commencing its descent into Abu Dhabi. Rubin’s responsibility these days is to help keep Citigroup afloat despite a balance sheet still waterlogged, despite frantic bail out efforts by the Federal Reserve and others, by staggering losses in mortgage bonds. The Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund injected $7.5 billion last November (albeit at a sub-prime interest rate of eleven percent,) but the bank’s urgent need for fresh capital persists, and Abu Dhabi is where the money is. Even if those radar operators pay no attention to Mr. Rubin’s flight, and the ironic contrast it illustrates between American military power and financial weakness, others will, and not just in Tehran. There’s not much a finding can do about that. See More:BushHave Your Say: Secret Bush “Finding” Widens War on Iran Please note, only selected comments will be published.
