US trying to provoke war with Iran
The
Insider | July 2 2004
The US military is trying to start a war with
Iran, and they have been caught trying to use the UK to do the dirty work
for them.
In July last year the US military commander in Iraq ordered
thousands of British troops to launch a full-scale attack on Iranian positions
at the border with Iran. If the British commander had not broken the chain
of command by blocking the orders, it is likely that the allies would now
be at war with Iran.
The US has tried to use the UK to trigger conflicts in
the past. Last time, during the Balkans war in the 1990s, the British commander,
Gen Jackson, refused to attack Russian positions, and is quoted as protesting:
"I am not going to start World War Three for you." The US could
have engaged the enemy themselves on both occasions when the UK refused,
but apparently they would prefer to wait until somebody else is stupid enough
to do the dirty-work for them.
A recent open memorandum published by the Project for the
New American Century under the title "Regime Change for Iran"
makes it clear what the agenda is for Iran. PNAC is a powerful group which
claims to "advise" the US government on policy and strategy, but
its members actually happen to be the decision-makers themselves.
Iran is currently surrounded by American and British forces
on both sides, with US-occupied Iraq on its Western border and US-occupied
Afghanistan on its Eastern border.
