On the brink of yet another war

New war brewing: US, Israel take dangerous steps

This article connects all of the dots — links every recent news article about the Israeli, US and Iran situation. Put it all together and I think it says, "Oh shit!"

We've been here before — all last year, in fact — but who can bet against the stupidity and mindlessness of George W. Bush. Check out this excerpt:
 
According to Israel’s media, President Bush even told Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that he could not trust America’s intelligence community and preferred to rely on Israeli intelligence.

Plus, Congress — headquarters for some of the stupidest, most ignorant, bigoted warmongers in the US — is about to act:
 
In Washington, Congress, under intense pressure from the Israel lobby, is about to adopt a resolution calling for a naval blockade of Iran, an overt act of war.

Also this:
 
The highly regarded American journalist Seymour Hersh just confirmed that the U.S. Congress authorized a $400-million plan to overthrow Iran’s government and incite ethnic unrest. This column reported a year ago that U.S. and British special forces were operating in Iran, preparing for a massive air campaign. Israel’s destruction of an alleged Syrian reactor last fall was a warning to Iran.

This week a Pentagon official claimed an Israeli attack on Iran was coming before year end.

Other Pentagon and CIA sources say a U.S. attack on Iran is imminent, with or without Israel. The Bush administration is even considering using small tactical nuclear weapons against deeply buried Iranian targets.

Senior American officers Admiral William Fallon and Air Force Chief Michael Mosley recently were fired for opposing war against Iran.

Even if the war doesn't start this year, the propaganda campaign has been non-stop, especially on Fox News. It all adds up to an act of state-sponsored terrorism, with George W. Bush as its cheerleader. The Iranians don't seem to be terrified, yet, but there is still plenty of time before the elections in November!

Got oil?

These conscience-deprived motherf*ckers Bush and Cheney, with their co-conspirators in both parties in Congress, are going to take the US into a third war... 'cuz a million dead people just isn't enough for them...

DISCLAIMER FOR DUMMIES  

Our front page is free from nudity and profanity, but interior pages and external links may not be safe for work, and you may be shocked, offended, or in trouble with your boss. A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.

Anything sent to Unknown News
may be published. If you don't want
   it published, say so plainly. Of course,
   we publish all incoming hate mail.
Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.

Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.

We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.

You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.

But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.

Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.

If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.

If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).

We try not to whine too much or too loudly, but we are poor and this site eats a lot of time
