Gus > ...the Iranian crisis' timing is set by Israel, not by Washington, and Prez Bush knows it. And Sharon knows that, should he and his staff deem it timely, he can start the war against Iran any time... For no US President will dare fail Israel. No US President will leave Israel in the lurch. The White House's unspoken motto is, Israel, right or wrong.
But how many wars can the US undertake (allegedly) for the benefit of a bunch of right-wing, Zionist fanatics? Iran will be no walk in the park and although it might be deemed "doable" by the power-crazed neocons to drop a few nukes or whatever here and there, what happens after that? By no stretch of the imagination can the US of I deal with Iran on the ground. So, as with Iraq, it may be easy to start but, unquestionably, even harder to finish.
Which makes me think that China, Russia, France, Germany & Co would be delighted if the US were to become embroiled in another long and bloody campaign. And they will see to it that it is as long and bloody as possible.
For this reason among others, although the oil price is saying that the attack could start soon, I take a contrarian view. |
