The Israel-connected neocons instigated the war in Iraq on Israel's behalf......(Cheney, Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle, Woolsey, Wurmser, etc.) Just as the war in Iraq is about oil, the attack on Iran would be about oil. Israel wants to re-establish the old British oil pipeline from Iraq to Haifa, Israel. It would take oil from the Kirkuk area, where some 40 per cent of Iraqi oil is produced, transport it via Mosul, and then across Jordan to Israel. (This proposal has gotten press in Israel, but not the U.S.) Israel and their U.S. counterparts want control of Middle East oil. Iran has a lot of it. McCain, with the grinning Joe Lieberman at his side, are their candidates. With this duo, they can continue their scheme. - skeptic Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:11:43 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/4175-rouble-crash-course-fortis-predicts-meltdown-of-american-financial-market.html#comment-5399 It looks like the US is playing chicken on Iran, but is pushing Israel to do its dirty work. It won't work, guys. To Iran, the threat is one--Israel/US. If Israel bombs Iran, Iran will go after all US ships in Persian Gulf (many military experts predict with great success), close the gulf to all shipping, attack the Iraq "green" zone, etc. The US military would probably get a really bloody nose, and the US financial markets would most likely collapse. - g.
