Iran Invasion to Occur Before April

As the US media once again becomes preoccupied with child abduction stories, the latest Bush administration bamboozlement of the American people moves forward at full steam - this time with an invasion of Iran on the horizon, an act which could spark a much larger and deadly conflict in the region and perhaps beyond.

There is little room for doubt any longer - the US and Israel will strike at Iran, and they will do so within just a couple of months. In fact, an honest reading of the tea leaves can render no other conclusion, and it is all creepily reminiscent of events that occurred in late 2002/early 2003, when the Bush administration was laying the foundation for its illegal and incredibly disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq.

It could be that the whole infusion of troops into Iraq, or "augmentation" as Condi refers to it, is really just part of a bulking up of resources for a conflict with Iran. Just as they did in the months before invading Iraq, Dick Cheney is beginning to weave his web of confusion, saying in a Fox News interview with Chris Wallace this weekend that, "Iran is fishing in troubled waters inside Iraq.... We do not want them doing what they can to destabilize the situation inside Iraq."

Iran is destabilizing Iraq?? Ohhh, and all this time we thought it was the massive US invasion that did that - but I digress.

During his interview, Cheney's own words in regard to a "message" the US is sending Iran, are a good indicator of our intentions, and the true reason for the troop increases in Iraq. Cheney says that, "The presence of U.S. military out there, not only in terms of what we're doing in Iraq but also with our carrier task forces, for example, is indicated as reassurance to our friends in the region that the United States is committed to their security and that we're a major presence there now and we expect to continue to be one in the future."

Cheney also states a few moments later that, "There's no reason in the world why Iran needs to continue to pursue nuclear weapons.", despite the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever of an Iranian nuclear weapons program.
