Previously he floated the conspiracy theory that we were duped into invading Iraq in the first place (though I would add the Taliban regime was another enemy of theirs we took out) by Iranian agents.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513679299375736828.post-71078456271923755872008-03-31T10:14:00.000-07:002008-03-31T10:14:00.000-07:00Disagree Saker.Israel's main interest was to de-fa...Disagree Saker.<BR/><BR/>Israel's main interest was to de-fang Iraq and this has been done. Saddam is no more, the large Iraqi army is no more, the country is in chaos and a 4 way civil war and probably total anarchy Mad Max style - so they are currently not a threat to Israel.<BR/><BR/>Israel has nothing to gain from American soldiers being in Iraq other than destabilizing it further, which is not needed at this point.<BR/><BR/>Israel DOES, however, have a HUGE interest in America attacking Iran, to de-fang that country, turn it into a Mad Max movie and stop their fledgling nuclear program as well as disband their pretty powerful (in the region) military force.<BR/><BR/>That is why the neocons (read - pro-Israel activists in the USA government) are so desperate to strike at Iran before George W Bush leaves office, or failing that, to elect either McCain (bomb bomb bomb Iran) or Hillary Clinton (she of AIPAC donations). <BR/><BR/>Electing Obama would put a MONKEY WRENCH (no pun intended) into their strategic plans.AmericanGoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865892490752172185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513679299375736828.post-18409095648801902752008-03-31T09:38:00.000-07:002008-03-31T09:38:00.000-07:00well, there is another explanation for what is goi...well, there is another explanation for what is going on: as part of the so-called "redirection" the USA has been arming, training and financing the Sunni Resistance to strengthen it. Now, in order to weaken the Shia, the USA pushed Maliki to attack Sadr in the hope that the resulting chaos who 1) weaken Iran's influence in Iraq and 2) further strengthen the Sunni relatively to the Shia.<BR/><BR/>I am not saying that this is actually what has been going on, nor am I saying that if that was the plan that it was smart or that it worked. All I am saying that there could be a twisted neocon logic to all this and that American soldiers dying there might not be dying for Iran, but for *Israel* (what else is new?!)VINEYARDSAKER:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12570841380033481032noreply@blogger.com
