Get Ready for World War III
Get Ready for World War III
By Paul Craig Roberts
08/17/05 "LewRockwell" -- -- With every poll showing majorities of Americans both fed up with Bush’s war against Iraq and convinced that Bush’s invasion of Iraq has made Americans less safe, the White House moron proposes to start another war by attacking Iran. VP Cheney has already ordered the US Strategic Command to come up with plans to strike Iran with tactical nuclear weapons.
Bush refuses to meet with Cindy Sheehan, instead using his vacation time at the Crawford ranch to talk war with Israeli television. In a recent interview with Israeli TV, Bush said: "All options are on the table" with regard to Iran.
Israel’s Likud government is Bush’s last remaining ally in his war against "Islamic terrorism." Israel, which is loaded with nuclear weapons and is not a signatory to the nuclear pacts, is the accuser against Iran, asserting that Iran’s nuclear energy program is just a veil behind which to produce weapons. Iran, however, has signed the nonproliferation pact and is willing for the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the nuclear energy program.
Bush, however, dismisses all facts and assurances and is willing to attack Iran based on nothing but paranoia.
Bush can ignore the American public, because the Democrats, like the Tory Party in the UK, have completely collapsed as an opposition party.
The only check on Bush is the lack of US troops. Bogged down in the Iraqi quagmire, US commanders are stating that a third rotation of our exhausted and demoralized troops in Iraq can be avoided only by troop withdrawals by next spring.
However, on August 11 Bush nixed the military’s talk of reducing US troops in Iraq. The next day the commander of US logistics in Iraq announced that the number of insurgent attacks on US forces along supply routes has doubled in the last year, making it clear that far from winning, the US is not even holding its own.
Cindy Sheehan has the right question for Bush: What noble cause is being served by all this suffering and destruction?
Bush is in hiding from Mrs. Sheehan, because he knows only ignoble causes are being served. According to the CIA, the main beneficiary of the war is Osama bin Laden’s recruitment drives. While America’s military recruitment falters and US generals announce that the war has broken the Reserves and National Guard, the cause of Islamic extremism basks in the Iraqi war.
Gentle reader, do you realize the danger of having a president so disconnected from reality that he plots to attack Iran – a country three times the size of Iraq – when he lacks sufficient forces to occupy Baghdad and to protect the road from Baghdad to the airport?
Despite all the high profile "sweeps" of US forces through insurgent strongholds, US commanders report a doubling of insurgent attacks.
The Bush administration is insane. If the American people do not decapitate it by demanding Bush’s impeachment, the Bush administration will bring about Armageddon. This may please some Christian evangelicals conned by Rapture predictions, but World War III will please no one else.

HE CAN'T HIDE IN CRAWFORD,
HE CAN'T HIDE IN WASHINGTON
Dear All
With support for his war in Iraq plummeting and a massive protest against the
war looming, Bush has been forced to do a little "work" this week. The White
House has announced that he will take a break from his five-week vacation for a
"five-day push" to try to shore up support for the war. But now the tide has
turned decisively against his administration's criminal war - and there is no
going back. This powerful sentiment has been stated most firmly - not by the
loyal opposition of the Democratic Party, but from the people themselves. The
Democrats have taken to the airwaves to announce that they support even more
troops going to Iraq! It is the people that have mobilized to stop the war and
it is the people who are mobilizing to force Congress to introduce articles of
Impeachment against George W. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and their partners in war
crimes.
While Bush tries to hide at his ranch in Crawford for five weeks, pretending
world opinion isn't against him, reality is bearing down. And when he returns to
the White House, that reality will appear in front of him in a massive display
on the streets. His advisors have said that he won't meet with Cindy Sheehan
(who rode to Crawford in a bus emblazoned with "Impeachment") because, according
to the Washington Post, "he does not care to meet with protesters or to reward
them." The fact is, he and his administration can't hide. The tide of opposition
is overwhelming them, along with their arrogant plans for conquest abroad and
destruction of civil rights at home.
ImpeachBush and VotetoImpeach members are organizing contingents from around the
country to be at the White House on September 24 to join in the huge anti-war
protest and march. We have learned that the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, which is
organizing the anti-war protest at the White House, has obtained permits to
rally on both sides of the White House and has secured the first march permit in
years to go on Pennsylvania Avenue directly in front of the White House! If you
haven't made your transportation arrangements yet, you can go the national
transportation page set up by A.N.S.W.E.R. (with whom we're coordinating
transportation) to get your bus tickets or find out about cars and vans coming
from your area. You can easily buy NY to DC tickets online and if you are
already organizing transportation, you can list it on the national board. Let's
make the Impeachment call resound throughout Washington. Let's fill the streets
with our yellow and black t-shirts and signs.

We are printing thousands of signs and flyers, doing impeachment outreach,
reserving buses, and arranging central locations near the DC rally where
ImpeachBush/VotetoImpeach.org members can pick up Impeachment placards. We need
your help today, as we organize in these final five weeks for the demonstration!
