The Build Up To War With Iran

   Oh yes! How the plot thickens!

   It looks as if the White House is going all out to get the American public convinced that we have to do something with Iran. This attack on Iran will be done because they "put our people at risk."  I am assuming that the White House is referring to our troops in Iraq.

    National Security adviser Stephen Hadley said,"We are going to need to deal with what Iran is doing inside Iraq."

    Vice President Dick Cheney:"Iran is fishing in troubled waters inside Iraq.We do not want them doing what they can to destabilize the situation inside Iraq"

Stephen Hadley: "We know there are jihadists moving from Syria into Iraq. ... We know also that Iran is supplying elements in Iraq that are attacking Iraqis and attacking our forces.

What the president made very clear is these are activities that are going on in Iraq that are unacceptable. They put our people at risk. He said very clearly that we will take action against those. We will interdict their operations, we will disrupt their supply lines, we will disrupt these attacks."

    Hadley was on "This Week" on ABC while Cheney was on "Fox News Sunday."

    Though it is always possible, if not probable, that the spin doctors at the White House are right about Iran, I question their intelligence. We have heard many times before from the Bush gang that we needed to go on the defensive before terrorist strike and of course we all know about the claims concerning Iraq. None of those claims were true. I would take any reports from the White House with a grain of salt at this point in time.
