I can't believe that an editorial in today's The Washington Post is calling for U.S. military action against Iran and its Revolutionary Guard.
"In effect, the Revolutionary Guard, a radical state within Iran's Islamic state, is waging war against the United States and trying to kill as many American soldiers as possible. In response, the Bush administration is considering categorizing the Guard as a "specially designated global terrorist" organization under a post-Sept. 11 executive order aimed at blocking terrorists' access to their assets. The measure is reportedly part of a package the administration is considering to increase pressure on Iran at a time when it is defying U.N. orders to freeze its nuclear program and is showing no hint of flexibility in talks with the United States and the European Union.
"This seems to be the least the United States should be doing, given the soaring number of Iranian-sponsored bomb attacks in Iraq. What's puzzling are the murmurs of disapproval from European diplomats and others who say they favor using diplomacy and economic pressure, rather than military action, to rein in Iran." (Emphasis added).
This is the same garbage and unsubstantiated charges that George Bush and Dick Cheney have been spewing out against Iran, assisted by Joe Liebermann. There has been no evidence produced by these war mongers that Iran has been killing American soldiers, or that the Revolutionary Guard has been at war with the U.S. It is all innuendo and whispering, without firm evidence or solid intelligence.
This is all that Bush/Cheney need to see - the WashPo supporting their military aggression vis-a-vis Iran. We have all seen this transpire before, i.e., in the run-up to the unjustified War in Iraq. First plant rumor that Iran (Iraq) is a threat to the United States, then appear to run out of diplomatic overtures, then field an army and a navy and an airforce, then give Iran (Iraq) some sort of deadline, then attack.
The Washington Post is an out-and-out enabler of George Bush and Dick Cheney in their plans for military aggression against Iran. Don't let them start a war against Iran!
