Pretext for war with Iran
Nov 30^th, 2011 at 6:13am

"Sh!t that was quicker than a five-legged cattle dog", thought Sergeant Mungo, as he contemplated his redeployment to the Middle East, having just returned from Iraq. "Hardly had time to take me bloody boots off" Grin

Quote:

Iranian protesters have stormed the British embassy in Tehran, smashing windows, hurling petrol bombs and burning the British flag in protest against sanctions imposed by London.

what's the bet the Iranian protesters are CIA operatives dressed up in the appropriate attire Wink

Nothing like a false flag operation to setup a pretext for war Wink

I always said that the next stop was going to be Iran and how convenient it is that Afghanistan is a neighbour of Iran. Ideal for a US military base Wink

There you have it. That is why they are still in Afghanistan Wink

No, it was about GW Bush wanting to finish what his daddy started....

Don't make the mistake of thinking the CIA 'needed' to incite the pro-government faction in Iran to attack westerns.....the Iranian president does that on a regular basis anyway....

So far they have not dropped nuclear weapons that they don't have. Just Like Iraq, they were hiding weapons of mass destruction that they didn't have. They are surrounding Iran and they are surrounding China. Who next? Iran. After Iran?....anywhere!

Well yes, we do need to 'sort Iran out'.....Simply because if they DO ever get nuclear weapons (and there are some pretty strong indications that they're trying) the current regime would actually use them....

Which is quite different to the case of Iraq...

Who would they use them on?

Israel??? Puhleez. If they dropped a nuke on israel, israel would drop 100 back, and all the nations in the world would carve up the carcass of Iran.

They're not that stupid. They are not a threat.
