War Drums in Washington or Bush’s Last stand
By Alan Woods
Thursday, 15 February 2007

The sound of war drums is once again reverberating in the corridors of power in Washington. Despite all the official denials, there are clear signs that the clique in the White House is seriously contemplating air strikes against Iran.

This website never believed that the USA would invade Iran. If it did so it would be met by an aroused people who would fight to the death to drive them out. Moreover, Iran has a powerful army that would be quite capable of taking on the US forces and giving them a bloody nose. Teheran has recently purchased missiles that would be capable of hitting US warships in the Mediterranean. An attack on Iran would be fraught with unforeseen consequences.

A ground war in Iran is therefore ruled out. But air strikes are another matter. Both Washington and Tel Aviv are alarmed at the prospect of an Iran armed with nuclear weapons, and Saudi Arabia is even more alarmed. George Bush and the right wing clique that advises him are publicly advocating a "first strike" against installations in Iran that they claim are manufacturing nuclear weapons. It is quite likely that at some stage they may well carry out these threats, either directly, or, if they could get away with it, using the Israeli air force. LINK
