ABCNEWS.com : U.S. Weighs Iraq Attack Without Allies

The German ambassador to Washington, Wolfgang Ischinger, told ABCNEWS: The United States must answer many questions, he said. "If military force is used, what kind of exit strategy would we have? How long would U.S. and possibly allied forces need to stay in the region? Would we get bogged down for the next decade with an unresolved question of instability in Iraq?"

 

It's already a generational war.

""By announcing its hostility to Iraq under false pretexts, America is seeking to camouflage the truth and use the Iraqi issue to terrorise the world and force it to bend to its wishes," the party's Ath Thawra newspaper said.

"A US attack against Iraq will be the prelude of a fragile new order in the region in which Arabs and Muslims will gravitate in the orbit of a strong Zionist entity," the paper warned."

 

Still denying WMDs. And trying to call in friends. Looks like anytime soon, they'll be attacked. Stealth bombers at night.

Yahoo!: Iraq Invasion Would Reshape U.S. Foreign Policy

"Now, it is contemplating a far more massive military action, not simply to knock out a single installation but to change an entire society.

"The breadth of this doctrine is breathtaking, going far beyond any claim made by previous American governments. None of our military interventions since World War II has required such a wrenching revision of international law," Yale University law professor Bruce Ackerman wrote in The Washington Post on Sunday."

 

What's law got to do with it? There's angry Arabs out there and they're coming, with bad shit in their bags.

"Iraqi Vice Presedent, Taha Yassin Ramadan warned in Dubai, that a strike on Iraq would only be the beginning of a widescale US military campaign against the oil-rich region.

"Iraq is not the target, it is only the beginning of a US plan to gain hegemony over the region and control its resources.""

Details of FEMA's national security role first emerged during the Reagan-era Iran-Contra scandal. Iran-Contra involved the clandestine selling of weapons to Iran, illegally using the proceeds to fund US-backed Central American insurgents, the Contras. It was an episode that led to felony convictions for some of the Reagan administration's key figures, such as John Poindexter and Elliott Abrams, both of whom are in the Bush Administration.

As one of his last acts as president, George Bush Snr pardoned those still implicated by the scandal. Others had convictions reversed.

According to the Washington Post, the creation of a US "shadow government" was also a part of the Reagan initiatives.

 

Sure they have the rightest of right wing plans under consideration. This better not piss of the US public. These are tight times.
