For OpEdNews: Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo - Writer Is Washington Attempting to Dupe Us About Iran? Looks That Way! Iran On The Hot Seat? The views expressed in this article are the sole responsibility of the author
As Bushite Rhetoric Grows more Hysterical, some citizens become more suspicious. Here we investigate the rhetoric and separate it from the realities, with a boost from Congressman Kucinich. We contacted his owffie and spoke to a Top staff member who okayed our use of his memo which was released today.
On Thursday February 2, 2006, at 10:02 AM Sally Buzbee of the AP wrote from Cairo a chronological study of Iran's Nuclear Program and America's reaction to it. I quote
"At a decisive moment in the struggle over Iran's nuclear program, Tehran's true intentions -- and the West's real options -- remain murky. Even such basic questions as "Who calls the shots?" are open to debate. One thing is known: Iran has vast amounts of oil and plenty of ways to retaliate, whatever the world decides to do."
Most of the reports by other, which I have surveyed, cover much the same ground so I have assimilated here as many as possible to make a cohesive whole ranging across the spectrum of views and ideas.
The creditable ones outline Iran's position and America's reaction including the fact that the Bushites claim, a claim we are all too familiar with because one must hold their nose when they hear it, so much does it reek of death for oil, that the entire plan displayed to others is false and the purpose of their haste is nefarious at best. Israel agrees with that assessment. Perhaps had Iraq not happened first and had the Bushites not labored in every possible manner to fight tooth and nail desperately for occupation forces to stay in Iraq, we might have listened less suspicious of the Bushites true motives there and here.
Those of us with even a moderate measure of ability to make projections based upon past behavior of those we are examining and their impact on the future of our nation, (which is most of us here at OpEdNews and other similar sites and a growing number of Americans of commonsense and alert mindedness), might not be so negative, if we had not witnessed the rape and slaughter of Iraq by mercenary interests.
We know why the Bushites are so eager to continue to occupy Iraq, it is because the Iraqi's, now know that the purpose of the Invasion had less to do with "evil-doers" and more to do with, OIL, and the fact that the present Iraqi congress and president are thus far taking their own lives in their hands by refusing to sign-off on an oil deal which would hand over to the Brit and American oil Companies 99% of the royalties from Iraqi Oil, making her a nation of peasants and near slaves, if they are at all allowed to live.
Some see the American goal for Iraq is to make her a US colony, in which all of her native businesses and lands and natural resources are confiscated or forced to capitulate to US/Brit commercial demands (stealing their businesses and homes) by the US and Brits under the threat of Mercenaries murdering them and taking what they want. It reminds one very much of the films, Shane, The Violent Men and any of dozens of American westerns in which the Texans come and intimidate everyone in the valley to sell out or die and they steal all the land.
Sally Buzbee's outline is not much different from all the others we have seen; The International; Atomic Energy Commission insists that a three year investigation displays no evidence that Iran is attempting to build nuclear weapons, however, it refused to rule out such plans. The US says that they believe that the Iranians are lying and covering up their real intentions, making WMD's!
It is refreshing to see that the motivation/excuse is a bit different from the excuses the Bushites gave for attacking Iraq. There they said that the Iraqi's already had WMD's, which, of course, some of us did not buy into, despite the fact the we had no way of knowing the truth, we only knew we'd seen the corruption within the Republican Party, which was taken over by War Criminals, mass-murderers, avaristic slime and misdirected, misguided demoniac so-called "Christians" which they give no real evidence of being.
Iran says its nuclear program is purely for generating electricity and that it does not intend to develop nuclear weapons.
The United States says that Iran's January 10 decision to reignite (What a word choice!) small-scale uranium enrichment, followed by it's claim publicly that Israel should be wiped off the earth has caused their credibility to be sharply called into question at the very least. And that comment does have some validity and the Bushites ought to know about such deceptions, they were making similar comments about the Iraqi's just something over six years ago and now Iraq is very close to becoming a nation of paupers, with their only major industry asset about top be stolen, and their population rapidly diminishing; minus about 6,000,000 people, four million have left the country and 1,100,000,00 are injured, wounded or otherwise disabled, and nearly 700,000 are dead. Add to that 4,000 American dead and 50,000 casualties and you have a depopulation, economic, genocidal disaster. Not much else can go wrong with a nation in one fell swoop, in such a short period.
The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been engaging Iran in discussions with concerning its nuclear goals and as a result, some time back it claimed that Iran was failing to comply with a 23rd of May deadline to stop the enrichment of uranium as required by the Security Council and thus imposed sanctions on Iran, but the US wants to impose more.
The IAEA hopes to achieve a negotiated end to the mounting conflict, by having Iran suspend its enrichment program and enter negotiations. It also wants Iran to comply fully with its demands for full disclosure about past activities. Sound familiar? It should it bears an amazing resemblance to the UN pressuring Iraq to comply with searches for WMD's. How could they prove they had no WMD's? There is no way, and they, in fact, did not have any because if they had they would have used them when they were attacked and since and they have not.
Iran's position is that it is entitled to enrich uranium and that it intends merely to create power for domestic needs not for nuclear weapons.
