Top US General Martin Dempsey, the likely next Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, today threatened unspecified “reactions” from the United States against Iran to punish the nation because violence is rising in neighboring Iraq.
The comments, made to a Senate committee, reiterated the claims that Iran is “sponsoring” Iraqi Shi’ite militias in the growing number of attacks against US forces. As with past claims by other officials, Dempsey’s claims did not include any actual evidence.
This is entirely unsurprising, as the State Department admitted earlier this month that no evidence to back up the allegations actually exists, and that the claims are simply based around what top officials believe to be true.
The death toll in Iraq has been rising for months, but is just now being felt in rising US death tolls, with last month the deadliest in years. Blaming Iran for problems in the Iraq War is a time-honored tradition among US leaders, and it is unclear how seriously it is taken behind the scenes, particularly in the absence of evidence.
There are two type of idiots in this world.., one who is truly idiots so when they do or say something idiotic you can forgive them knowing that they don’t mean anything.., the other one is the one who act as a idiot laying to their teethes and the last thing for them to do or say is to blame others for their idiocy.
Just what America needs – for the Zionists who control America to LIE US into yet another war.
I find it amazing that the morons who got us into Iraq were clueless that once your put your troops into an area you had to keep your army there. We will have to have real soldiers or the new armed thugs of the secretary of state for as long as we desire to own Iraq. The USA is just a colonial power looking to steal the wealth of other nations. Israel is just an excuse. The wealthy of Israel clearly benefit from our military attacks but the nation of Israel is rushing into civil war between the orthodox and secular jews. The arabs who have been under the boot of the jewish majority will support both sides of the argument as long as they kill each other. Things are not getting better in the middle east. It is just a matter of time till a regional war breaks out with Israel unable to avoid actual conflict. I wonder how long bibi will last when they have large numbers of idf being returned in body bags. Can Israel support thousands of crippled veterans? Not a pretty picture especially how easy it would have been to create real peace for Israel. The problem with real peace is their is no profit for the death merchants.
"Can Israel support thousands of crippled veterans?…"
Easy. They'll just call their US benefactors and beat them into guilt…"If you don't support our/your brothers and sisters who have been injured in our/your war of survival then your are guilty of aiding the anti-semites (not to mention Arabs) who want to destroy us…" Well, you get the drift. Meanwhile the American troops, the thousands of American troops, who come home in need of serious caretaking end up in the depths of the VA, if they're lucky, or out on the streets.
As for Dempsey, he's just a tool.
" I wonder how long bibi will last when they have large numbers of idf being returned in body bags"
The most moral army in the world (so i've heard) got too soft from decades of picking on Palestinian children and old ladies and Lebanese civilians that when they actually have to engage in a somewhat fair fight (Hezbollah 2006) they get a beating. It's about time these overhyped cowards get their hands dirty, and one can only hope for a trail of bodybags from Ben Gurion airport all the way to the Knesset – EFF THEM
Pathological. These control freak war mongers will never go away. Iran has already been sized up for their yoke, welcome to the Farm.
It’s all part of the PsyOps being conducted on the US public by the Empire. Before any planned war with Iran, they need to thoroughly demonize the country.
They’re playing the same WMD game they played to “justify” the conquest of Iraq, only now it is with Iran.
Saddam Hussein was the “New Hitler” and now it’s Ahmedinejad.
From the point of view of the propagandist, it makes no difference if there is any evidence or not. What matters is to keep endlessly repeating the lie and eventually it will be accepted as true.
Once again, the US is using the Kurds to stir up trouble, this time, against Iran. They must be really stupid to allow the US to play them that way. Considering the rumors going around that Israel is ready to invade Iran in September (no doubt to derail and delegitimize the Palestinians' petition to the UN for statehood), the US is lining up its ducks in a row in order to justify running to Israel's side to aid and abet in the illegal invasion of yet another sovereign Arab nation.
An excuse to keep American troops in Iraq past the 2011 deadline, and further reason to join Isreal in any future attack on Iran. Two birds, one shot. Did the general ever consider that if American troops were not in Iraq they would not be being attacked?
The American government is full of neocons that are proffesional liers.They don't follow the constitution that millions of Americans have bleed and died for.They should be ashamed but thats the last felling they have.If they attack Iran in another illegal war Israel wqill most likely not survive.Also if the US gets involveds so will Russia,China.,North Korea,Pakistan and all the countrysa that they are illegaly invading and fighting in right now.WW3 will be the outcome its hard to undersatand how even the rich will benifit from the destuction of the earth.American government are the real terrorists not the people they fight they are freedom fighters juyst like America called them when they were fighting the Soviet Union.Israel will be a waist land due to the fact the country is so small.America with spending money on there military that is more than the rest of the world combined would not stand a chance against the countrys they will face.They can't even win in Afganistan or Iraq let alone cou8ntrys that include China and Russia.Eroupe is no help they coul;d not even deal with Lybia wiothout Americas help and still are having big problems.
The real American patriots will overthrough there illegal corrupt government the first chance they get with many inm the military fighting for the law thjey bswore to uphold the constitution that millions have died for only to be stabed in the back fighjting for what is now a fauls sence of freedom.The government is pathetic cowards think them or therte children go fight in there illegal wars hell no they are as much of a coward as Bush how was a draft dogger but is quick to send others top die.The Americans that are not awack yet must now the truth thats out therte if they just look.Hopefully it will be peacefull but if they turn it violent America has the most armed citizens in the 3entire world trust me the government is more scared of its sheeple than they should be of it.
I'd say war with Iran is looking like a better and better bet these days. Iraq and Afghanistan are stale and Americans aren't afraid of the "enemy" there anyway and haven't been for years, despite every effort by George W. Obama to keep us scared shitless. Those places are now boring. So the best way to keep the American street–hey, WTFN?, if the Ay-rabs can have a street, why can't we??–from going bread riot on rich people's arses is to lob a few bombs onto Tehran and let the festivities begin. But Barrack O'Bush better hurry. What if Palin or Bachman or even some greater numbnut like Spooky-shorts Romney takes over? Those people are so fucking stupid they'd blow up Pearl Harbor because it worked so good the last time and blame it on Ahmahdinnerjacket and the Misty Mountain Mullahs.
