> Syria, Iran and possibly Saudi Arabia still need enforced "democratization" and regime change guardian.co.uk >>The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, yesterday tapped into deepening international concern about a clandestine nuclear programme in Iran, warning that Tehran was actively working to develop a bomb. Mr Rumsfeld's remarks, delivered during a visit to Germany, appeared to be aimed at exerting pressure on Tehran and the UN's nuclear monitoring agency, which meets next week in Vienna to decide how to respond to Iran's failure to honour nuclear safeguards. His intervention also appeared to advance the next project of Pentagon hawks: regime change in Tehran. <<

Searle. Powell has a has been for over a year--ever since it was clear to everybody that they couldn't find any WMDs or even risk planting some. But Powell is not suddenly a fool where as many of the others are life long examples. As for Iran I doubt anyone in the US wants another war.

> the neocons' PNAC agenda isn't anywhere near completed yet and that means Syria, Iran and possibly Saudi Arabia still need enforced "democratization" and regime change. reuters.myway.com >>The United States has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran to help identify potential nuclear, chemical and missile targets, The New Yorker magazine reported Sunday. The article, by award-winning reporter Seymour Hersh, said the secret missions have been going on at least since last summer with the goal of identifying target information for three dozen or more suspected sites. Hersh quotes one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon as saying, "The civilians in the Pentagon want to go into Iran and destroy as much of the military infrastructure as possible." One former high-level intelligence official told The New Yorker, "This is a war against terrorism, and Iraq is just one campaign. The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign."<<
