Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta of the Obama administration thinks that it's very likely that Israel will strike nuclear facilities in Iran in 'April, May or June'. He called the chance of an attack greater than fifty percent. That's because Israel, which has an estimated amount of 75 to 400 nuclear bombs, thinks Iran is the evilest country in the world since Saddam Hussein's Iraq. If Israel will attack Iran it wil have the support of the U.S., which holds an estimated amount of 10.700 nuclear warheads.
The explanation for the military attack on Iran, which hasn't directly attacked any country for centuries, will be that Iran might be able to get nuclear weapons soon and might get agressive towards it's neigbors, Israel or the West in the future. Something that peaceful but militarily weak countries like the U.S., Israel and the Netherlands, who recently attacked and/or occupied Iran's neighbor Iraq, fear immensely.
After the attack Israel will be supported by the UK (200 nuclear bombs) and France (300 nuclear bombs). Also the Dutch government - which very likely has 22 American nuclear bombs on Airbase Volkel - will support the attack.
Since almost all of the American media will support the attack, with Fox News urging the Obama administration for American forces to join Israel in bombing Iran, almost all Americans will support the attack on Iran. The result will be that a big majority of Americans will support the Obama-administration and Barack Obama - winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2008 - will be reelected as president for a second term.
End good all good!
Remember this?
Less lies maybe but the similarities with Iraq are great. This was the other important plot similarlity between the wildly successful original and the sequel:
And there's more writes Glenn Greenwald:
Is there anything those Persian Monsters aren’t guilty of? The worst part of all this may be the fact that National Security officials don’t even have enough respect for the American public and media to create a new propaganda script; like some budget-strapped studio executives eager to push a worthless sequel to the market, they instead just lazily haul out the last script that was used with only the most cosmetic changes:
Weekly Standard, Septemeber 2003:
Jeffrey Goldberg & Eli Lake, The Atlantic, June, 2010:
Eli Lake, New York Sun, March, 2008:
Laurie Mylroie & ABC News‘ Brian Ross, November, 2001:
Fortunately, though, those responsible for the last tawdry script have been stripped of all influence, while the American media learned its lesson from the role they played in the Iraq debacle and will be much more skeptical of these claims this time around. Actually, neither of those things is true — see here and here and here — which is exactly why government officials know they do not need even to bother with producing anything new.
