Renegade White House:

By: Anthony J. Gerst.

The clock is running out on Bush-Cheney’s global reign of terror. One of their primary objectives still eludes them, an attack on Iran. With all the saber rattling and posturing, not to mention all the ink being run about what may very well become this administration’s biggest bungle, nothing can be found related to the Chinese impact. China and Iran have negotiated extensive trade agreements and a pipeline deal for oil shipments. For that matter, the Chinese, Russia, and Iran have been working on energy related deals that tie in directly to the pipelines and oil reserves of Iran and Russia.

Unless this administration has discussed the proposed carpet bombing of Iran with China, such an attack could result in grave repercussions to the US economy.As China can bring incredible pressures upon the US, not to mention with the weakened dollar, this is the best time for the international community to act together, to establish a new corner stone for international finance.

Bush-Cheney fail to think beyond the pocket books of the oil cartel, with Israeli and Gordon Brown backing a US led strategic carpet-bombing. The White House has been actively pursuing this goal for at least six months. Despite pleas from the Republican leadership, it appears if Cheney can find a way, Iran will be attacked. Cheney’s office this past summer pushed the Joint Chief’s of Staff to redraw plans for an attack on Iran. The focus now is on a strategical strike against the Revolutionary Guards. The administration believes they can defend this, as a response to the invasive activities of Iran inside Iraq. They can site President Clinton’s strategic attacks in the Sudan and Afghanistan to quell the Democrats uproar.

From a former senior intelligence official, according to Seymour M. Hersh’s article ‘Shifting Targets: The Administration’s Plan for Iran:’ “There is a desperate effort by Cheney et al. to bring military action to Iran as soon as possible. . . But Cheney doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the Republican worries, and neither does the President.”

It is now known that at CIA headquarters the majority of the Iraq Desk, has been reassigned to the Iran task force, in order to bring about this mission of the renegade White House. Hans Blix former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) had this to say in the aforementioned article. “My impression is that the United States has been trying to push up the accusations against Iran as a basis for a possible attack-as an excuse for jumping on them.” Even our supporting allies are worried over this move. This past July British troops in Afghanistan uncovered an SA-7 missile coming into Afghanistan from Iran. They were reluctant to pass this information to the United States. A retired CIA agent who worked closely with the British had this to say, “The Brits don’t trust the Iranians, but they also don’t trust Bush and Cheney.”

There is too much at stake to allow a foolish attack upon Iran. It was our collective arrogance that created this fiasco in Iraq. Therefore, we are to blame for the rise of Iran as a regional player. Until another administration takes over Washington, we as Americans must realize that no action to unite Iraq will be forthcoming, as this administration is only interested in the monopoly interest of the oil cartel. An attack on Iran would launch a wave of terrorist retaliations across the globe. Hezbollah, under the wings of Iranian influence are ready to react with international terror strikes. The unknown response from a untied front of China and Russia are issues that cannot be ignored.

Cheney is banking on a complacent world. In case you haven’t noticed the world is no longer complacent to U.S. interests. With regret we are but one Executive Order away from a disaster that will make the invasion of Iraq look like a success. Sadly, as Commander and Chief, the Leader of the Free World, this lies in the hands of one man. In the end it comes down to this, will George stand up and be a man, or will the Puppet Master again pull the strings?
