Q2N Relentless: Bush Plotting ‘Surgical Strike’ in Iran

All the reasoning (Sadr, Quds force, yadda yadda) from those ever so helpful unnamed sources is of course as fanciful as ever, from Murdoch Times (all war pimping, all the time)-

The US military is drawing up plans for a “surgical strike” against an insurgent training camp inside Iran if Republican Guards continue with attempts to destabilise Iraq, western intelligence sources said last week.

The CBS television network reported last week that plans were being drawn up for an attack on Iran, citing an officer who blamed the “increasingly hostile role” Iran was playing in Iraq.

The American news reports were unclear about the precise target of such an action and referred to Iran’s nuclear facilities as the likely objective.

According to the intelligence sources there will not be an attack on Iran’s nuclear capacity. “The Pentagon is not keen on that at all. If an attack happens it will be on a training camp to send a clear message to Iran not to interfere.”

President George W Bush is known to be determined that he should not hand over what he sees as “the Iran problem” to his successor. A limited attack on a training camp may give an impression of tough action, while at the same time being something that both Gates and the US commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, could accept.

Erm Iran problem? You mean the one of Bush’s making, and the training camp is this time arounds WMD, even Maliki is kicking back against the war pimping (although not surprising he is much closer to IRI than Sadr)-

Iraq said on Sunday it has no evidence that Iran was supplying militias engaged in fierce street fighting with security forces in Baghdad. Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said there was no “hard evidence” of involvement by the neighbouring Shiite government of Iran in backing Shiite militiamen in the embattled country. Asked about US reports that weapons captured from Shiite fighters bore 2008 markings suggesting Iranian involvement, Dabbagh said: “We don’t have that kind of evidence… If there is hard evidence we will defend the country.”

That’s the Empires own puppets kicking back against the ignorance and belligerence of the occupation’s imperial ambitions. In other words everything the Bush regime has done has been an abominable murderous catastrophe so what do they intend to do now? More of the same- Kill, dominate, sow sectarianism and steal.
