Ray Mcgovern predicted the attack on Iran - the timing slipped but hey, he no longer has an access to all the info from inner circle of CIA.
I am utterly frustrated at the spectacle of Bush's Administration playing the same propaganda moves that preceded Iraq and not being challenged by the pliant media. I read somewhere that one of the strategies that Israel admired the British Empire for was our ability to fracture and anger the "locals" and then sit and enjoy when they spent time, money, blood and life, fighting each other out.
What is happening in Iraq? Sunnies are angered and frightened by sudden removal of power from their hands. They are not even given enough power to protect themselves from vengeful Shia masses, have organises themselves into the militia force. They are using their military and police expertise to create enclaves that they control and feel safe in, and from those basis strike at American forces who brought their fall from position of privileged minority to persecuted, scattered minority without protection from the multiple enemies that they made for themselves when they ruled Iraq in the past. So we have Iraq fractured into the three areas (lets not forget Kurds). We have Saudi's making fantastic profits on their oil ( as Iraq is hardly producing any), military - industrial complex getting fat on Saudi profits that are spent on arms ( Saudis are very worried about Shia crescent), Lebanon and Palestine on the brink of civil war and Israel thanking God because he granted them virtually every wish they ever made.
To sum up:
Military Corporations are making the fattest profits for a quarter century.
Saudis are again rolling in it. Israel's potential enemies are fractured and engaged in internal strife.
Still to do:
Involve Iran and Iraq in another war, so that they quietly bleed and weaken.
Pressure is temporarily off Syria, but the chances that it will remain uninvolved in the Iraq-Iran fighting is slim.
