Pentagon Report on Iran "Smells Like Blair"

April 22, 2010 (LPAC)—The just-released Pentagon report on the Military Power of Iran, which says that "With sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the United States by 2015", "smells like Tony Blair," commented Lyndon LaRouche today.

The Pentagon report does not warn that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, and has no timetable on when a nuclear bomb could be built by Iran. It also says that Iran's defense policy is "deterrence," not aggression, including that it is allegedly "leaving open" the option of building nuclear weapons. That should be news, but instead, the media — including the Dept. of Defense's own Armed Forces Press — is playing up a speculative section about an ICBM capability against the US, and about an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) threat to Europe.

The report is an annual rundown mandated by Congress, and tries its best to paint Iran as an enemy and threat to the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan. The "evidence" in these cases is written by a contortionist — since the Pentagon cannot deny that Iran has been cooperating and supportive of the Karzai government in Afghanistan, and has been supportive of the al-Maliki government in Iraq. So, the report plays up dubious evidence of the Taliban possessing Iranian-supplied weapons, and support for some Shi'ite sects and paramilitaries in Iraq.

Putting a great deal of focus on Iran's "training, arming and funding" of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, it even goes so far as to claim that Hezbollah can "threaten Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide," as well as targeting Israel directly. The report is being used by the Congressional ninnies to further feed the war frenzy against Iran.

Ertu með hlekk á þessa skýrslu?

Annars, eins og þú segir, eru Íranar, með fjölmennan her, sem er staðsettur í varnarstöðu. En, í Íran er víða gott til varna, og her Írans er nógu fjölmennur, til að mann margar víglínur í styrk.

Ég myndi, ef ég væri forseti Bandar. ekki ráðast á Íran.

Hmm, LaRouche, er greinilega litríkur.

En, ég vara almennt séð fólk, við því, að binda þekkingu sína, við eina tiltekna átt.

Ekki ég, ef um sannleikann er að ræða.. Ég vara fólk við að hlusta á lygina, við höfum reynslu á Íslandi af því.

Að minnsta kost er ég hættur að hlusta á  "Íslensku" dólga lygina, þú sérð hvernig komið er, er ekki svo ?
