Bush Warns Iran: ‘I Recently Ordered The Deployment Of An Additional Carrier Strike Group To The Region’
Bush Warns Iran: ‘I Recently Ordered The Deployment Of An Additional Carrier Strike Group To The Region’
President Bush’s address to the nation tonight included “some of his sharpest words of warning to Iran.” Bush accused the Iranian government of “providing material support for attacks on American troops” and vowed to “seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies.”
Bush added, “I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region.” Watch it:
Also today, the White House released a Powerpoint presentation with details about the president’s new policy. “Increase operations against Iranian actors” was listed in the “Key Tactical Shifts” section.
The New York Times notes, “One senior administration official said this evening that the omission of the usual wording about seeking a diplomatic solution [to the Iranian nuclear stand-off] ‘was not accidental.’”

Finally!
It appears that Congress is finally going to go toe to toe with the President about this.
All Bush wants to do is somehow save face that he hasn’t committed one of the worst disasters in the history of the country.
I finally heard Democrats and Republicans, after the President’s speech, talking about cutting funding etc.
Finally the disaster MAY be coming to an end.
January 10th, 2007 at 9:54 pmIraq is lost and has been lost… GWB is a madman.
January 10th, 2007 at 9:54 pmBush took responsiblity of all mistakes that were made….
January 10th, 2007 at 9:57 pmBush admits mistakes but sends in more troops despite what his generals, the troops, and the Iraqi and American people say. He “takes responsibility” but those words are meaningless since their are no consequences to his actions. He is a stubborn old man who needs to be forcibly removed from office.
January 10th, 2007 at 9:57 pmCongress has to stop him. We have to stop him!
January 10th, 2007 at 9:58 pmHe seems to be intent upon aggressive action against Iran. Will Congress give this president carte blanche to do what he wishes, as he did against Iraq, or will the members of Congress finally do its job by providing oversight against the executive branch?
January 10th, 2007 at 9:58 pmThe Army and Marines are tied down, but we still have air power. That’s the only way Bush can escalate. It looks to me that he’s planning to have a showdown with Congress; if Congress blinks, he’ll have a blank check for two more years.

Call and say NO!
January 10th, 2007 at 10:02 pmActually, i think a war with Iran will be easier now than in 3 years. So we should attemp to fight WW3 now while we can still afford it.
Then, when President Hillary takes over, she wont have to deal with Iran.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:02 pmThere was not one ounce of sincerity in his admission of guilt for the chaos that has become Iraq. He read it as one would read a pre-scripted speech about why carrots are orange, or how duck down is impervious to water. It was not delivered with the concession of someone with the ability to empathize or hold a regard for other human beings. And it no longer surprises me because sociopaths lack the capacity.
The only thing Bush’s speech convinced me of - is the fact that he will go down in history as a failed leader.

Time for this to stop. If our newly elected Democratic Congressmembers fail to step up to the plate, we’ll have to march on the White House in force.

Got it, looking at the deficit and the price of gasoline, better get World War Three started right away. Funny how ythe people who have no idea what war is and does to people are the most excited to get it going. Cool down, open another Bud and pop in a Chuck Norris film…
January 10th, 2007 at 10:11 pmSaudi Arabia probably does more to aid our enemies in Iraq than every other nation. They contribute fighters, weapons and millions of dollars.

Well what about all those purple fingers? You mean to say, Maliki is serving only at His Majesties pleasure? Shocking. Let’s see what Maliki says about that one tomorrow. That’s an outrageous thing for one head of state to say about another!
January 10th, 2007 at 10:13 pm“I said to Maliki this has to work or you’re out,â€
January 10th, 2007 at 10:13 pmPity GWB didn’t say “when this fails I am out”.
Bush hid his smirk tonight, but not his hard head.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:18 pmHe may have stated an oblique admittance “where mistakes were made, the responsibility lies with me†but he has not changed his stance, his approach, or his ideology.
He talks of this not being open ended, after years of “staying the course†but then he talks of more troops, more conflict and a bloody year to come.
I doubt Bush persuaded many people that his “new” course is going to work any better than any of his previous “strategeries.” Because it is impossible. He has lost Iraq, his credibility and his presidency. In stead of a good head on his shoulders, he has a chip.
No diplomacy, no statesmanship, no attempt at all to resolve anything other than with force and bloodshed and threats for more.
There is only one solution as I see it - he has to leave office.
With this new carrier task force he may be looking for his “Gulf of Tonkin”. Iran has advanced silk worm missiles that can sink one of our ships. He knows that Congress is against this so he may try to provoke a war with Iran.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:18 pmIn his speech, Bush announces the positioning of a strike force within reach of Iran.
This is one of the steps Scott Ritter said to watch for as an indication that a US attack on Iran is imminent.
Iran is the real target. The troop surge talk is a smokescreen. The fact that more soldiers will die matters not to the leader.
“We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region. We will expand intelligence sharing – and deploy Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies. We will work with the governments of Turkey and Iraq to help them resolve problems along their border. And we will work with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region.â€
January 10th, 2007 at 10:18 pm“If we increase our support at this crucial moment”
January 10th, 2007 at 10:20 pmThere has been nearly 4 years of crucial moments, milestones, turned corners. Iraq has only progressed further into chaos.
What did you think of his demeanor? He seemed stiff and ill at ease — more than usual. The teleprompter is not for him.

I was just looking at the screen capture above and it’s not the usual grotesque visage. I’m guessing they wired his crotch to an electric shock device and threatened to use it if he didn’t read the speech verbatim and without his usual smug attitude? :D
He’s really aged a lot the last year. A far cry from the man who was perpetually tan, blonde and grinning about his 7.5 pound perch… I think he might finally get the reality that he’s not getting his DC memorial like Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson… If it were instead because of the people he’s killed in Iraq, I’d feel sorry for him. But we all know better by now…

January 10th, 2007 at 10:22 pmYes, I, too am fearful of what Bush’s next step is going to be. I heard Scott Ritter in recent weeks - and he is the only guy who called this Iraq war for what it is from the first time it was mentioned. He was right on everything. The efforts to smear him personally indicated how much Bush&Co knew they needed to shut him up.
I pay attention to what Ritter says.
Thanks for bringing out the Iran angle. I think that’s why Bush was so distracted — his mind was elsewhere. Would you buy a used war from this man? Bush confirms that he is going to lurch forward with a plan that has absolutely no chance of success if judged by its supposed objectives. Where were the succinct bullet points designed to convince a skeptical nation that he knows what he’s talking about? And Bush appeared nervous, his attention elsewhere. What does he know he’s not telling us? Bush just won’t admit he lost the war. With every passing day, Bush is sacrificing more American and Iraqi lives for a classic Rovian wedge issue. Time to brush up on impeachment.

Suzanne Malveaux was giving Larry King her report from the White House and you could hear the protesters chanting pretty loudly. She mentioned them, but they never panned the camera off of her. It was definitely a crowd from the sound of all those voices.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:23 pmIt’s all a smokescreen for an attack on Iran. Staging a carrier strike group close to Iran is first necessary step, according to Scott Ritter.
The game plan is to attack Iran. He’s doing it for the Saudis, for the Saudi money. Trading our children’s blood for Saudi money.

The biggest problem is that somebody in the Bosh Administrations knows that you can sell the American people any kind of crap. They will eagerly eat lies and applaud to the greatest leaders insane moves.
I changed my opinion too.
1) Impeachment of the whole administration
2) Seizure of all assets of the Bush clan and all administration
members
3) Lobotomy for the republican leaders to prevent future
catastrophies like Iraq.
4) Nationalization of the defense and energy related industries
There is no time to waste, unless you don’t care about yourself, your children, your grandchildren, or any other human being.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:25 pmStop the brainwashing now. Ban Fox News. Seize all assets of Rupert Murdoch.
Lobotomy for all war mongerers.
Hillary Clinton just came out against escalation.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:26 pmBetter get prepared. According to Scott Ritter, when Bush attacks Iran, the first thing the Iranians will do is attack the oil fields in Saudi Arabia and cut the supply of oil to the US. The effect on our economy will be swift and intense. So get prepared.

Spot on, joe. It doesn’t matter how much Congress and the American people are against him…if he can succeed in provoking Iran into firing on our carriers, he can count on Congress falling back into line again. It will be 9/11 all over again.
Speaking of 9/11, the scene is perfect for another false-flag operation…Bush doesn’t need to count upon Iran firing on us, he can just fake it (as the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked), and presto…he’s a war-time prezinint again.

Appropriate screen name troll. One morally bankrupt person assuming the identity of another.

Therefore, better get out while we’re only this far behind.

January 10th, 2007 at 10:38 pmWhat gets me is the myriad spins the media puts out there - rather than tell the truth - which they all know - that this is the first steps towards attacking Iran - the media plays with words - for that alone the talking heads and heads of media should be put in jail.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:38 pmBush is nuts. He is hoping for an Iranian strike against the US ships in the region . If they dont strike soon enough then Bush will have the ships attacked by covert agents. This will give him the go ahead to use nukes against Iran. It is on , hold on to your asses. The lunatic must be removed from the white house, ASAP.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:39 pmIf the Madman in the White House provokes a war with Iran then I think that would be enough for the Congress to initiate Impeachment proceedings against Bush. The big problem with that is that we get Cheney. God, what a mess!
January 10th, 2007 at 10:39 pmA War with Iran easy? You’re out’a your mind.
World War 3? It would only serve to jeapordize US interestes in the Mid East and World. Talk about scuttling all that is left of US influence in the world, and taking a fist to America’s (and the West’s) global economy arrangements.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:39 pmEven Bush and Chaney know Iraq is lost-so it is off to Iran to redeem themselves. They are setting this up with–Iran is funding/fueling the problems in Iraq. Add an “attack ” by Iran against one of our warships and bada bing.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:39 pmThe Saudis summoned L’il Dick and warned that if Sadr wasn’t put in check…
…The Bush/Cheney trust fund would be effectively dissolved…
…al Maliki has issued a warning to the Mahti (Sadr) militia to either disband or face the wrath of America and Iraqi Army units…
…Bushiva sends 21,000 more troops, nd threatens Iran…
hmmmm…
January 10th, 2007 at 10:40 pmI switched channels at the wrong time, but I heard a reference to “NOW WE ARE ENGAGED” in Bush’s speech.
“Now we are engaged” are lines from the Gettysburg Address. This president takes the cake for stealing things.
I just wonder where Bush has been for almost four years? He’s had plenty of time to tweak this war, and he hasn’t. Don’t you think it’s a little late in the game to tweak this war?
Donald Trump was willing to forgive Miss America’s youthful indiscretions: drinking and partying. Yeah, she’s very, very young so the slate was wiped clean with a little rehab. That was the case, too, with George. In fact, the slate was wiped clean at the advanced age of 40 with his partying and drinking. He said he found Jesus, and all was forgiven.
THIS TIME THE SLATE CAN’T BE WIPED CLEAN. George, you just shouldn’t be allowed a second chance. George, you’re no longer young at 60; no youthful indiscretions here, and who knows if drinking destroyed your brain cells. Regardless, you had plenty of chances to change course, and you didn’t. Time is up! This time no one is going to rescue you.
You made your bed so you must LIE in it.
Isn’t it interesting to note that tonight’s speech took place in the White House “LIE”brary. What a fitting place!!!! The “LIE”brary speaks volumes about you and your speech.

I don’t have your optimism.
Unless millions of people were to pour into the streets tomorrow, nothing will stop Bush from attacking Iran.
The congress is playing with words about troop surges. Everyone is focusing on Baghdad.
That’s the sleight of hand maneuver. Look over here everyone, get all upset about a troop surge, while I drop bunker busters on Iran.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:41 pmthey don’t know what’s news unless there tenders tell them its news - Larry King didn’t bat an eye when you cold hear the ruckus in the background. He wasn’t even curious.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:42 pmHow do you like being held hostage America?
According to Failure in Chief the “direction of the war on terror and the safety of America will be determined by the outcome in Iraq” Then adds that it is up to the Iraqi’s themselves to make it a success.
There it is America, according to the preznit our destiny is in the hands of Iraqis.
LUNTAIC ALERT
January 10th, 2007 at 10:42 pmThe other alternative to Bush provoking a war with Iran is for him to get Israel to do our dirty work. Something they just might do. If that happens then the S**T will really hit the fan.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:42 pmJohn Gilpins
Thanks for the reference.
Maybe Bush’s use of words from the Gettysburg Address isn’t hutzpah -
It’s a message from him - he’s telling us he’s planning to widen the war to Iran.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:43 pmNot only did he get the Shia and Shiites mixed up (anybody else catch when he was talking about the mosque bombing? “The Shias blew up one of the most holy Shia shrines”) He outlined no plan of victory.

The mix up of Shia and Sunni is intentional to confuse Americans. The plan is to fight the Saudi Sunni fight against Shia Iran. The more he can confuse the two the more he thinks Americans will sit back and believe his bs.

“because King Abdullah told Dead Eye Dick: you’d better start blowing away Shiites or your’e both out:
January 10th, 2007 at 10:50 pmBush is a naked liar.
Of the five factions fighting in Iraq (SCIRI, Da’wa, Sadrists, Sunni insurgency, al-Queda), the first two are allied with both Iran and the US, the third and fourth oppose both US and Iranian domination, and the fifth consider Iranian Shi’ites to be infidels.
Who is Iran supporting? SCIRI and Da’wa? They’re not attacking us. Sadr? Not likely, considering he’s an Iraqi nationalist. The Sunni insurgency or al-Queda? Not a chance.
Bush is inventing Iranian agents out of whole cloth.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:50 pmWell I think this is going to end up in the streets….
January 10th, 2007 at 10:50 pmThe dilemma for Dems is that alot of them are funded by AIPAC. So they want to believe the bs from Israel and Bush that Iran is the evil axis. The Dems are going to be forced to choose between the lives of American troops and their pocketbooks. Which do they think will win? They will try to finesse this whole thing away to some minor issue about troop surges. And Bush is counting on it.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:51 pmChildrenofLir - look on the bright side he knows more about Shia and Shiite than he did in 2003… feel the pleasant glow of the soft bigotry of low expectations….
January 10th, 2007 at 10:52 pmThe fact is everyone knows the truth about this story, that it’s all about attacking Iran. Bush knows, the media knows, Congress knows, most of America knows except for a handful in a cornfield in Iowa and a few others in a cotton field in Texas. Yet we proceed on to armageddon. And for no reason.

January 10th, 2007 at 10:54 pmTerrific speech. I remember being in New York on 9/11/2001, witnessing the carnage perpetrated by the terrorists and realizing that we were at war with a section of the population of the world that was seriously dysfunctional and dangerous. I knew on that morning that we would be at military, economic, political, and philosophical war for a long time to come. Thank God we have all been blessed with a president with the courage and fortitude to pursue this war against our common enemy. At the time of the Korean War, Harry S Truman was the most unpopular president in U.S. history, according to polls. Truman has since been vindicated by history’s sober and impartial judgment. So will be the case with President George W. Bush. History’s vindication is inevitable.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:56 pmI’m glad that someone else caught that sabre rattling against Iran.

As Brent Scowcroft stated, Saddam was a problem, but not a problem of terrorism. The war in Iraq, and destabilizing the middle east would undermine the war on terrorism. The common enemy was a rag tag bunch of radical Arabs led by a construction magnates son. Now, we do have a bigger problem thanks to the radical reactionist neo-cons and their planned calsh of civilizations.

January 10th, 2007 at 11:14 pmNow, think of this from Iran’s point of view. War is inevitable. Bush will attack Iran the same way he attacked Iraq. Iran will be totally destroyed.
Would it not make sense to strike first? If Iran threw everything it had against one, or both Carrier Groups located within the narrow confines of the Persian Gulf, would it not be able to sink one or more ships with all hands on board?
Since the outcome for Iran is the same whether it strikes first or not, which course of action makes the most sense for Iran?
If they choose a preemptive strike, thousands of U.S. sailors will die in one day.
This will be part of the price for the PNAC’s determination to spread American Imperialism.

Either way, those carriers are sacrificial lambs which will bleed upon the altar of the PNAC.
At this point, war with Iran is inevitable, and as there are ZERO troops remaining in our all-volunteer army, the draft will be reinstated. When that happens, I will probably be going to Gitmo, as I will refuse to participate in Chimpy’s ’sacrifice’.

January 10th, 2007 at 11:26 pmThis is the first graph of Howard Fineman’s piece tonight:
Jan. 10, 2007 - George W. Bush spoke with all the confidence of a perp in a police lineup. I first interviewed the guy in 1987 and began covering his political rise in 1993, and I have never seen him, in public or private, look less convincing, less sure of himself, less cocky. With his knitted brow and stricken features, he looked, well, scared. Not surprising since what he was doing in the White House library was announcing the escalation of an unpopular war.
Great piece well worth reading: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16568507/site/newsweek/
January 10th, 2007 at 11:26 pmExley, 9/11 was perpetrated by 19 Saudis lead by a guy in Afghanistan.

War happens between countries, not between a country and a few hundred nuts.
If you’re itching for war, then just admit it. You don’t need an excuse. We understand you better than you understand yourself.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:27 pmExley
So by drawing a parallel between Truman’s nuking of Japan and Bush’s imminent nuking of Iran, you are saying it’s a historical certainty.
The certainty of Bush nuking IRan is directly proportional to the stupidity of Americans like you.
Historical certainty is dependent on human stupidity and the failure of humans to learn from history.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:28 pm#95, ChildrenofLir…No. My point is that during the Korean conflict, which began in 1950 — some five years after the end of World War II — and two years after Truman was re-elected, President Truman was immensely unpopular, according to the Gallup poll. As I recall, his job disapproval rating in 1951 or 52 (From memory, I believe it was 1952) bottomed out at 29%. and in the 1950 midterm elections, the Democrats got thumped, losing a net five Senate seats and 28 in the House….Yet, today, hitsory’s sober judgment recognizes that President Truman is one of the great presidents in U.S. history. So will be the case with President George W. Bush…

It does not follow logically that since one President was in disfavor and then praised by historians, that another President in disfavor will be praised. Illogical.
However, the nuclear connection between the two Presidents has a logical force. Many have argued that the Japanese had already been defeated when Truman dropped the bombs, and that the bombings had nothing to do with saving American troops.
Similarly Bush has no reason to bomb Iran, except that he’s been paid to do it.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:45 pmWhen I was in grade school, one of our homework assignments was to memorize the Gettysburg Address. Talk about dumb! Then we were graded as to our memorization skills–one-by-one. When I think about it now, it was a waste of time as I spent days memorizing the Gettysburg Address.
That’s the only reason the lines: “Now we are engaged” popped up in my mind. I certainly wasn’t there in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania when Lincoln delivered the address in the 1860s.
I hope 100 years down the road grade school kids won’t be given homework assignments to memorize any lines from Bush’s speeches. No! No!
I take that back. MAYBE HIS RESIGNATION SPEECH:
“I apologize for my misdeeds, and I have come to the realization that I was not qualified to lead our country. Officials in my administration, including myself, missed the mark in even minimal leadership skills. Am I the worst president in the history of the United States? Yes, I am the worst by a wide, wide, wide, wide margin. I totally agree. Unfortunately, Fortune 500 money bought you a bad president. I’ll now trot off to Texas wearing a black hat. Black hats are for the bad guys, and I am a bad guy.”

January 10th, 2007 at 11:55 pmChildrenofLir,
I agree with your basic premise that just because one second-term ypresident who was unpopular in his day (Truman) necessarily means that another second-term president who is lagging in the polls will similarly be vindicated by history’s judgment. But, in my opinion, given the parallels between Truman’s conduct of the Korean War and the Cold War and Bush’s conduct of the Battle of Iraq in the War on Terror , it is most likely Bush, like Truman, will be vindicated – if Iraq becomes a free and democratic state, allied with the civilized world in the battle against international fundamentalist Islamist terrorism.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:55 pmThe victoryfor which this President will be remembered in history is - the discrediting and end of the neocon warmongers frim ever having influence in the US again.
The plan laid out tonight can no more provide a stable united Iraq than I can turn lead to gold. The surge is not enough to accomplish ANYTHING militarily.
It is just more of the same coward and his tough talk (real toough with our children’s bones). They really do hope to expand this war to Iran. But after a short stint of popularity among the faithful, the American people will be so sick of these warmongers, that they all may be banished to Iraq!! — and tortured by refusing them to play Stratego, the bloodthirsty lot.

January 10th, 2007 at 11:58 pmLet’s see what actual historians (not amateurish wannabes) are saying about George Bush’s presidency:
President Bush likes to think that he is doing what’s right even if the public doesn’t. But he has misconstrued American history. Presidents get points when they take action that the public isn’t ready to accept. They don’t receive credit for sticking with an action that is clearly discredited.
January 11th, 2007 at 12:00 amAn example. Harry Truman, with whom President Bush likes to compare himself […] wisely changed course and redefined American objectives once it became clear that we could not secure all of Korea. President Bush might take note of this if he really wants to emulate his hero Harry Truman.
George Bush’s Misplaced Hope that Historians Will Rank Him Higher than His Contemporaries

Again, you’re logic is weak. It does not follow one from the other.
If you want parallels - compare Iraq war to the Vietnam war.
But you won’t will you. Because the Vietnam war was a failure, started on lies and deception, just like the Iraq war.
Several million Vietnamese died needlessly. We haven’t reached millions yet in Iraq, but if Bush has his way, we will reach that number sooner rather than later.
There’s your logical connection.

January 11th, 2007 at 12:03 amOne more article about historians’ judgment of Pres Bush’s time at the helm:
Of 415 historians who expressed a view of President Bush’s administration to this point as a success or failure, 338 classified it as a failure and 77 as a success. (Moreover, it seems likely that at least eight of those who said it is a success were being sarcastic, since seven said Bush’s presidency is only the best since Clinton’s and one named Millard Fillmore.)
January 11th, 2007 at 12:03 amHistorians vs. George W. Bush
Truman was unpopular but he was competent. He led the U.S. through the end of WWII after the death of FDR. Bush is truly an incompetent president that started a war for no reason at all and has very little understanding of history, diplomacy, or another functions of gov’t.
In fact, I imagine in 50 years when historians get to look at the totality of his administration he’ll be considered much worse then he is now.
The real issue though isn’t his place in history or popularity but that his policies have weakened the country and made the world a ore dangerous place to live.
January 11th, 2007 at 12:03 amI don’t hate Bush, I cannot hate any person.
I do think that he has lost his way. May he, the true light, that what George does not yet know, embrace him and show him the path.

I wholly agree. The outcome is inevitable: The US will eventually withdraw from Iraq, leaving Iraq in a worst state than it was when invaded.
The occupation has been an absolute disaster. The reconstruction has come to naught. The new Iraqi government is nominal. Iraqi democracy is a farce.
But Bush cultists are still in denial, thinking Iraq can be modeled after the US. Of course, asking Iraqis their opinion never crosses a true cultist’s mind.
And now, here you have them, supporting saber-rattling against Iran. Nothing has been learnt. Nothing.

In the past, I’ve often said that President Bush has been more effective in televised speeches than he has been given credit for. Not tonight. I thought he came across as stiff, nervous, and anxious to get it over with. The importance of the issue seemed to overwhelm the President’s ability to communicate. I suspect that only a few listeners absorbed more than a general impression of what the new strategy is all about.

January 11th, 2007 at 12:54 amBush is completely insane, but most in the Congress are clueless and still do not understand that Dubya and Dicky must resign or be impeached!
January 11th, 2007 at 1:19 amThis has been 6 weeks since I originally posted this prediction. I have posted it 5 times, and will continue to post it as things progress. This prediction is not in a prophetic or in a religous sense, but from a good understanding of world affairs and a greater undserstanding of natural progression and the occult. Once people start realizing that this escalation has nothing to do with oil, religion, terroism, or our troops, but instead is to destablize the region as apart of a plan to mold the world to something that you may not like, will you start to understand. And it’s going to happen.
The Military and the Iraq Commission will deliver a recommendation that 20,000 additional troops be deployed to Iraq as the Bush administration wanted. This new deployment will not be deployed to hot spots in Iraq, but will mass on the Iraqi/Iran border. A false flag operation will coincide just prior too, or during the deployment phase of this operation.
This false flag operation will be a nuclear/dirty bomb on Israeli soil that will be detonated between Hebron/Bethlehem and Jerusalem. It will be determined that Syria and Iran instigated the attack. The Temple of the Mount will be destroyed, then Israel will attack Iran and Syria, and the United States will attack Iran, concurrently. Because of the middle-east crises, oil production will cease, causing the worlds economies to collapse in a domino effect.
Once Syria and Iran have been fully engaged, China will see this as a direct threat, and enter the war. Russia will stay out of the conflict for a time.
Marshall Law will be leveled on the United States and dissenters will be processed into FEMA camps. People will try and leave the cities, but will be turned back in armed conflicts. The “American Federal Empire†(AFE) will be established, which will encompass the whole North American continent. Venezuela’s government will be over thrown during this process and it’s oil reserves will be used for the war effort. A new currency will take the place of our present currency, and it will be called the Amero-System. This new currency will be paperless, and eventually, due to fraud the AFE will move to chip implants.
