星期天， 2007年7月15日
对国防开支票据谴责的伊朗的一个一点公开的校正为？谋杀？ 在星期三美国战士在伊拉克由独立民主党·约瑟夫Lieberman在美国参议院提议并且一致同意通过了。 共和党人和民主人士所有排列支持白宫？s无确实证据的指责德黑兰是资助，训练和武装伊拉克民兵， ？谁对伊拉克的不稳定贡献并且负责对美国军队的成员谋杀？。 为所有他们非战摆姿势，不是唯一民主党，包括主导的竞选总统者Hilary克林顿，营房Obama和约瑟夫Biden，反对校正。 支持布什政府？s罪行在伊拉克，民主人士是借贷瞄准的可信度到谎言另一次竞选，半真半假的陈词和假情报辩解一次新的军事冒险。 表决再次显示出，在白宫和民主人士之间的区别是纯粹作战的。 什么团结美国政治创立的所有派别是他们的美国帝国主义的战略和经济利益的防御在中东。 如果它在这个关键区域，将促进美国控制权他们都没有任何原则性反对到对伊朗的美国军事攻击。 在他的讲话， Lieberman指向介入的部下的美国战略上的兴趣。 ？他们中的一个是防止伊朗伊拉克的控制的部分。 另是保存我们的可信度在这个区域是重要对我们用许多方式的…。 在直接方式…我们继续太多取决于来自中东的石油和气体，因此我们有兴趣在保留它上槽枥， ？ 他宣称。 当它不要求行动在规则报告之外对国会时， Lieberman校正有效地支持布什政府？s宣传反对伊朗。 在几个月，白宫和五角大楼维护了平稳的鼓声： 伊朗革命卫兵训练，财务和供应的胳膊，包括致命的装甲穿甲设备，对是杀害美国军队的民兵。 具体证据未在民兵成员据称做的伊朗制作的胳膊和声明之外偶尔的显示提供锁在美国拘留。 伊朗官员一再驳回了指控。 Nevertheless the accusations have steadily escalated. On July 2, US military spokesman Brigadier General Kevin Bergner for the first time accused the highest levels of the Iranian government of direct involvement in attacks on US forces, specifically the killing of five American troops in Karbala in January. The outrage and righteous indignation of Lieberman and others over alleged Iranian ?meddling? in Iraq is staggering for its hypocrisy and arrogance. The Bush administration has 160,000 troops inside Iraq waging a criminal neo-colonial war for the domination of the country?s resources. It has endorsed covert operations inside Iran aimed at destabilising the regime and has repeatedly declared that in dealing with Tehran all options are on the table, including the military one. The amendment was only passed 97-0 after Lieberman agreed to include a proviso that nothing in the measure ?shall be construed to authorise or otherwise speak to the use of armed forces against Iran.? But this purely legalistic caveat will not prevent the Bush administration from taking military action against Iran and could well be exploited to justify a US attack in the name of ?self-defence?. In fact, US accusations of Iranian support for Iraqi militias have become increasingly shrill as it has become clear that the UN Security Council is unlikely to authorise the use of military force over a second pretext?Iran?s nuclear programs. Lieberman, an unapologetic supporter of the Iraq occupation, makes no bones about his stance. In a comment in the Wall Street Journal last Friday, he bluntly accused Iran of waging a ?proxy war? against the US not only in Iraq, but also in Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon. While calling for diplomatic efforts, he declared: ?The fact is, any diplomacy with Iran is more likely to be effective if it is backed by a credible threat of force?credible in the dual sense that we mean it, and the Iranians believe it… It is time to restore that fear [of US retaliation], and to inject greater doubt into the decision-making of the Iranian leaders about the risks they are now running.? ?A credible threat of force? can only mean one thing: the willingness to attack Iranian military units and installations allegedly involved in Iraq. As Lieberman told CBS?s ?Face the Nation? last month, the US government must ?be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians?. The Pentagon has already provocatively stationed two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Persian Gulf and reinforced the military capability of US regional allies. A third aircraft carrier group led by the USS Enterprise is currently heading towards the Middle East?reportedly to replace the existing two. Whether or not the Bush administration will authorise military strikes on Iran remains unclear. What attitude the US will adopt towards Iran is part of the debate raging in ruling circles, including in the White House, over the catastrophe in Iraq. Lieberman speaks for a considerable layer of the American political establishment that advocates the unrestrained use of US military might to pursue its strategic and economic ambitions. Far from being held back by the Iraqi quagmire, the advocates of ?regime change? in Tehran propose to extend the war into a broad regional conflict against Iran and its ?proxies? throughout the Middle East. At stake is the control of the region?s oil and gas. Any back down or compromise over Iran would leave America?s Asian and European economic rivals holding all of the stakes in that country?s resources. Likewise any US retreat from Iraq would leave the field open for other powers to fill the vacuum. The alternative is a macabre and reckless gamble that a war against Iran would establish US domination over the region as a whole. What was significant about Wednesday?s vote was the willingness of the entire US Senate to endorse the pretext for a new war. It is a clear signal that the Democrats would rapidly fall into line with any military adventure in Iran, despite the overwhelming antiwar sentiment among the American population as a whole.
