I call upon him to resign his commission or to resign his position!
An Attack on Iran?
We who support Ron Paul want to end this war. They want to expand it.
The last time Cheney visited the Middle East, we attacked Iraq. This time may presage an attack on Iran. A Saudi newspaper has reported that the kingdom has been warned to prepare to cope with “sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards”, the source no doubt Cheney himself.
Estimates of casualties run as high as 1 million dead Iranians and as many as 35 million collateral casualties in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, who will incur cancer as a result of exposure to radioactivity.
If we—or “our ally”, Israel—undertake such an action, it will be the greatest act of mass murder in history, which will inevitably lead to attacks in kind on the US and on Israel, leading to its annihilation.
Those who would attack Iran are betraying this country. As a former Marine Corps officer, I remind commissioned officers of the American military that they not only have an obligation to refuse illegal orders but have the duty to take into custody those who issue them.
Iran is not in Iraq. Our own National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran abandoned its development of nuclear weapons in 2003. It has the right to develop nuclear energy.
Even if it had a bomb, Iran could not use it for offensive purposes without committing national suicide. Israel alone has more than 200 nulcear weapons. Did we learn nothing from the Cold War?
I call upon the officers of our armed forces to take into custody those who would direct the commission of further war crimes.
Parting Reflections
Here in Washington, we have a crime syndicate masquerading as an administration.
And Bush is talking about another 9/11, even suggesting its source!
Someone should sit down and ask him how he could possibly know.
I say, Support the Constitution! Stand with Ron Paul! End these wars!
Study 9/11! And remove these liars, cutthroats, and thieves from office!
The Commander-in-Chief is marching our troops off a cliff!
