| UNIORB: REALITY CHECK: POLITICS |
The most revealing fact that Wayne Madsen provided in his breaking
news report on the leak of B-52 fighter carrying nukes to the Middle East
(Code operation: BENT SPEAR) is that there exists a revolt among “various echelons within the Air Force and
intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and
conventional weapons.”
He mentioned several top-secret operations — BENT SPEAR, OPERATION ORCHARD and PROJECT CHECKMATE — that were actually coordinated covert efforts by the US and Israel to bomb Syria and Iran. Even Defense Secretary Robert Gates who seems to be out of the loop of Bush/Cheney cabal’s secrecy has asked an outside inquiry board and former Air Force Chief of Staff, retired General Larry Welch, to lead a Defense Science Board task force to investigate BENT SPEAR incident.
In the last year or so, more
and more retired
generals (20 of them to date) have stepped up to speak against the war in
Iraq – breaking military tradition, rarely happened in the nation’s entire
history. It’s known that active-duty generals follow procedure without ever
disobeying orders – but former generals no longer bound by their pledge to
silence could voice their dissent when they deemed necessary. AND IT WAS
NECESSARY FOR THEM TO SPEAK UP. The generals know more about wars on the ground
than any of the officials in the White House plotting strategic games on the big
screen in the war room.
There are two significant
points to draw from these events:
First, since Bush and Cheney
have been trying to pull off this sneak attack on Iran without Congress
permission or any top government officials’ knowledge, why couldn’t they have
done the same with the 9/11 attacks? They had plenty of motives for doing so —
oil, enrichment for their corporate supporters, world domination by the US
military — these are just a few major ones. Pulling off 9/11 attacks was to
pursue their pipe dreams, changing America forever, as Bush has often claimed in
his speeches. And in legitimizing the pursuit of waging preemptive wars around
the world, Bush coined the phrase: “war on terror”.
Bush’s choice of words -
“war on terror” - was not misspoken as so many journalists mocked his gaffe in
calling terrorism as “terror.” His words meant exactly that: Bush is waging a war not on ‘terrorism’ but a war
on ‘fear.’ The definition of terror is “intense, overpowering fear”. He is not
fighting a war against actual terrorists who target innocents for political
reasons; instead he’s been creating an atmosphere of ultimate fear in societies
where innocents feel the constant threat by acts of terrorism.
Unfortunately, Bush’s “war
on fear” is succeeding. On the domestic front, overwhelming fear has gripped
society to allow the nation to emerge as a “police state” removing civil
liberties one by one. On the international front, so many global leaders have
bowed in fear to the terror Bush created by accepting illegal rendition flights
or making deals in exchange for personal gains as the U.S. patsies to be later
removed once their purposes have been served. Moreover, Bush’s “war on terror”
wouldn’t be complete without his massive and expansive army of thugs - mercenaries and
private contractors - that have wreaked havoc in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and
Latin America.
Second, if Bush and Cheney
intentionally created “war on fear” around the world, then would they be aware
of a possible breakout of World War III by attacking Iran? The answer is — of
course. They are insane to start one but they are sane enough to prepare for
one. They expect the weak Congress to continue bankroll their illegal wars as
well as NATO and loyal allies to offer strong support. The U.S. world war
theatre preparedness is evident in its building of a military base near Iran’s border
(expecting an ongoing conflict), installations of US missile defense to be built
in Europe, namely Poland and Czechoslovakia, and recent increase of the
US-allies military exercises around the world. Considering the vast network of American bases
(850)
on every
continent except Antarctica and allies
in every corner of the globe, not to mention advanced space war defense
technology and a huge stockpile of nuclear weapons for deployment, Bush and
Cheney have carefully calculated the possible outcome of a world war scenario
even before embarking on their Armageddon crusade.
As more and more evidence
leaked to the press, their true intentions become clearer — Bush and Cheney
don’t just want regime changes in the Middle East, they want world domination at
all cost!
Now the crucial question is — how can Americans and the world stop them?
