<P><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "steve ash" <STEVEASH_2001@YAHOO.CO.UK><BR>To: pagan-magik@lists.aktivix.org <BR>Subject: [pagan-magik] FWD Iran / Iraq <BR>Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 06:23:25 +0000 (GMT) <BR><BR>> <BR>> Scott Ritter Says US Will Attack Iran In June <BR>> by Mark Jensen <BR>> <BR>> Scott Ritter delivered two shocking bombshells in a <BR>> talk to a packed house in Olympia's Capitol Theater in <BR>> Washington State at the weekend. The ex-Marine turned <BR>> UNSCOM weapons inspector said that <BR>> - George W. Bush has "signatured" plans to bomb Iran <BR>> in June 2005 <BR>> - knowledgeable sources say U.S. officials "cooked" <BR>> the results of the Iraq elections. <BR>> >> well, surprise, surprise!! my fren jeff would be <BR>> utterly shattered. i think i won't tell him. <BR>> <BR>> The principal theme of Scott Ritter's talk was <BR>> Americans' duty to protect the U.S. Constitution by <BR>> taking action to bring an end to the illegal war in <BR>> Iraq. But in passing, he stunned his listeners with <BR>> the two pronouncements. <BR>> <BR>> Iran <BR>> The purported goal for the planned aerial attack is <BR>> the destruction of Iran's alleged program to develop <BR>> nuclear weapons. However, said Ritter, <BR>> neoconservatives in the administration also expected <BR>> the attack would set in motion a chain of events <BR>> leading to regime change in the oil-rich nation of 70 <BR>> million - a possibility Ritter regards with the <BR>> greatest skepticism. <BR>> <BR>> Iraq Elections <BR>> Called by Bush "a milestone in the advance of freedom <BR>> in Iraq," the former Marine said they were not so free <BR>> after all. U.S. authorities, he said, had manipulated <BR>> the results to reduce the United Iraqi Alliance’s <BR>> percentage from 56% to 48%. <BR>> >> no, no, this can’t be true! manipulate elections, <BR>> naw, they wouldn’t even know HOW to do it! <BR>> <BR>> His source, he said, was an official involved in the <BR>> manipulation, and it would soon be reported by a <BR>> Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in a major <BR>> metropolitan magazine - an obvious allusion to New <BR>> Yorker reporter Seymour M. Hersh. <BR>> <BR>> In January the New Yorker posted an article by Hersh <BR>> entitled The Coming Wars (New Yorker, JAN 24, 2005) in <BR>> which he claimed that the Bush administration’s “next <BR>> strategic target is Iran." Hersh also reported that <BR>> "The Administration has been conducting secret <BR>> reconnaissance missions inside Iran at least since <BR>> last summer. <BR>> … Defense Department civilians, under the leadership <BR>> of Douglas Feith, have been working with Israeli <BR>> planners and consultants to develop and refine <BR>> potential nuclear, chemical-weapons, and missile <BR>> targets inside Iran. <BR>> … Strategists at the headquarters of the U.S. Central <BR>> Command, in Tampa, Florida, have been asked to revise <BR>> the military's war plan, providing for a maximum <BR>> ground and air invasion of Iran. <BR>> … The hawks in the Administration believe that it will <BR>> soon become clear that the Europeans' negotiated <BR>> approach [to Iran] cannot succeed, and that at that <BR>> time the Administration will act." <BR>> <BR>> Although the peace movement failed to stop the war in <BR>> Iraq, Scott Ritter said it had a chance to stop its <BR>> expansion to other nations like Iran and Syria. He <BR>> held up the specter of a day when the Iraq war might <BR>> be remembered as a relatively minor event that <BR>> preceded an even greater conflagration. <BR>> <BR>> Before Ritter spoke, Dahr Jamail narrated a slide show <BR>> of 100 vivid photographs taken in Iraq, mostly by <BR>> himself in Fallujah. Many showed the horrific <BR>> slaughter of civilians. Jamail was, until recently, <BR>> one of the few independent, unembedded journalists in <BR>> Iraq. His reports have gained a substantial following <BR>> and are available online at <BR>> dahrjamailiraq <BR>> UP! <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Parallel YOUniversity, Box 833, London NW6, UK <BR>> fraser@parallel-youniversity.com <BR>> www.parallel-youniversity.com <BR>> <BR>> www.parallel-youniversity.com/fraser <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ___________________________________________________________ <BR>> ALL-NEW Yahoo!
