McGovern: Iran attack coming soonStephen C. Webster
Published: Sunday June 22, 2008



In a new editorial published by AntiWar.com, former CIA officer Ray McGovern states that he believes "a perfect storm seems to be gathering in late summer or early fall," when the Bush administration and allies in Israel will launch attacks against Iran.

"This time it will be largely the Air Force's show, punctuated by missile and air strikes by the Navy," writes McGovern. "Israeli-American agreement has now been reached at the highest level; the armed forces planners, plotters and pilots are working out the details."

McGovern further references what former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan calls Bush's "bubble."

"By all indications, Vice President Dick Cheney and his huge staff continue to control the flow of information to the president," McGovern elaborates. "... Think back on the White House press conference of Feb. 28, when Bush was asked what advice he would give to Americans facing the prospect of $4-a-gallon gasoline.

"'Wait, what did you just say?' the president interrupted.' 'You're predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline?...That's interesting. I hadn't heard that,'" states McGovern.

He ultimately concludes that a handful of senior military officers have been key in preventing an attack on Iran thus far, though their numbers are thinning thanks to administration efforts.

Finally, McGovern calls on Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, to "do what must be done."

"Does Conyers not owe at least that much encouragement to those courageous officers who have stood up to Cheney in trying to prevent wider war and catastrophe in the Middle East? Scott McClellan has been quite clear in reminding us that once the president decided to invade Iraq, he was not going to let anything stop him. There is ample evidence that Bush has taken a similar decision with respect to Iran – with Olmert as his chief counsel, no less.

"It is getting late, but this is due largely to Conyers' own dithering," he resigns.

The next stage of WWIII.

I'll believe it when I see it.

We are not going to war!!! Not until public sentiment can be swayed. When we invaded Iraq 85% of the country supported the president, not <30%.

Iraq =/= Iran....the American people's opinion is, I guarantee, different on Iran than Iraq.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if something happens--I suspect a repeat of WWII--we'll institute the Naval blockade, the EU and UN (well, us too) will have sanctions, and they'll retaliate by attacking us...which then will catalyze the American people to war.

if you keep predicting war with Iran you are bound to get it right once, even if its 50 years from now

 

[pcosmar]

We have been at war with Iran since at least 1953.
At the present time our Government is doing all it can to provoke a response.
Iran has been very careful and tolerant, but I do not expect that to continue if a strike happens.

They are well equipped to defend themselves and to return a strike of their own.
Of course the "spin" will make them out to be the aggressor.

Bad policy= bad results

I heard an interview with Alex Jones and Ray McGovern, might be of interest to some of you.

Cheney has been quoted as saying something along the lines of "it doesn't matter what the people think, we have the power and control to attack Iran if we want too."

So I know they don't care if only 10% of Americans will support a war with Iran - they will do what they wish. Vote everyone out of office and start fresh - only way to stop this train wreck that is coming.

The American people no longer control their rogue government. Maybe they can petition Israel and AIPAC?

The clock is ticking until the elections. The insane zionazis are terrified Obama will win and they will lose their chance.

Prepare yourself.

My wife asked what I would like for my birthday.
I responded with only one word.

Ammo.

Yeah and what good is "ammo" going to do for you when the military and police are out patrolling your neighborhood with tanks, grenades, and automatic machine guns with the full backing of the U.S. Airforce? Don't get me wrong I understand the whole ammo/gun thing but nowadays for "us" to be able to survive we are going to have to talk military members into taking over jets, machine guns, tanks, etc. for use by the revolutionairies. What are the chances of your neighbor's boy and your son saying fuck the U.S. government I'm gonna turn this tank around and protect the American people?

ahhh! So you are saying what we really need are truck loads of rocks and stones!























I know! I know! Bad joke...

This "we are going to war against Iran" thing is getting old. We have been hearing it for seems like years now. There is not public support and we do not have the resources to handle anything if we did attack. Our military is too busy in other places.

With statements exactly like Mr. Halliburton's, now you now why, Dick 'CHICKENHAWK' Cheney, will require Secret Service protection for the rest of his time on this planet.

It's just ashame the TAXPAYERS have the Flip the Bill for this Tyrannt

Something smells fishy...

I doubt we'll see the U.S attack Iran now. Too much dissent in the ruling classes.

Now Israel attacking Iran, that's still a possibility.

 

[canadian4ronpaul]

and if israel attacks iran, usa will immediately go to its aid. what really needs to get done is the zionists living in america need to be booted from government, hopefully without poeple calling it "racism". seriously though, hasnt enough young american men died for israel already>? let them fight their own battles.

 

[DriftWood]

I very much doubt it. I don't know how many of these internet rumored war with Iran deadlines has passed since last year. The public is already war fatigued. It would be political suicide for "them" to start another one.
