War Planning

  Let's see if we can connect some dots here surrounding Iran, Jeb Bush, neocons, The Cotton letter, and Netanyahu's House speech.

  First it's important to recall that the neocons have expressed an interest in an Iran War way back when, even before Bush 2, GW, assumed power from the 2000 'election'. Cheney brought on board that administration's neocon team, just think Paul Wolfowitz. Read over the Project For A New American Century documents, a neocon device as it were, and you will clearly see the signees and the intentions for war. The Iraq War came out of this neocon influence during Bush 2.

  Now recall that Bush 3, Jeb, has hired Paul Wolfowitz, neocon, onto his foreign policy team. The neocons fell out of favor publicly with the election of Obama and the rejection of the uber war neocon stance which would have carried on under McCain. This is in 2008. Bush 2, GW Bush, of course left office with incredibly low popularity ratings given his 'deft' handling of the Iraq war and the economy. However with the arrival of Bush 3, Jeb, there is an interest to retrieve the neocon project, and let us not forget that part of that project is an Iran War.

  Enter Netanyahu into Congress to essentially spell out one thing. That one thing is an intent to go to war with Iran. This interest is from the hard line right wing section of both the neocon view and the Israeli view. So we have Netanyahu setting the stage as it were, probing it, selling it. He comes in and creates a little fear note, a very effective right wing device, and says war.

  Now we have Arkansas Senator Cotton writing a letter to Iran with 46 additional GOP Senators signing on essentially denouncing a 'peace' agreement between Obama and Iran on Iran's nuclear issues. Once again the point of the letter is that there is only one solution, war. A quick study of Cotton's words indicates his hawkish stance and let us not forget Cotton's $700,000 for his senate campaign from the Emergency Committee for Israel, curious bedfellows indeed.

  The stage is being set for a new war, that would be the Iran War. The war already has the tacit support of the GOP 47 at least, plus the neocons, plus the right wing hardliners in Israel. Recall McCain's 'humorous to the loyal' bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran Beachboy parady.

  As an observer to this situation one primary thing that comes to mind is - the vast majority of American people don't connect these dots. This is the beauty of modern politics where the trail although not beyond simple ordinary human intelligence is well hidden and unclear and simultaneously gets that tacit approval of party supporters.

I got news for all these GOP Chickenhawks. You want more War, send your own kids to fight them, not everyone else s!

Well, they're not going to send their own kids. That happens rarely. The military in my opinion are made of honorable people who follow orders to a T, it's the leaders like these neocons that lack honor.

A very concise article concerning the new "war planning". Thank you for connecting the dots. It's all very disheartening to say the least.
