Blaming The Intended Victim
The warmongers have had sights set on Iran since Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard in 1998 and beyond. Iraq was just a money making stepping stone to get at the real prizes - destroying all of Israel's regional rivals and grabbing the resource rich areas of south asia.
They've been straining for a plausible reason to go to war with Iran. They had that Brit hostage situation but the sailors were let go too quickly. Proxy terrorists are funded and armed by the US and have operated inside Iran for years, trying to provoke the country into retaliation. The world yawns while Israel and the US jump up and down like chimpanzees screaming about Iran's power plants, which as a signee to the Non Proliferation Treaty they have every right in the world to operate.
What should have been a slam dunk as casus belli was the insinuation that Iran was indirectly killing american troops going about their job of occupying Iraq. We've heard endless yammering in the ever supine MSM about Iranian weapons flowing across the border to Iraq. Justification for sending cruise missiles slamming into Tehran was there for the bellowing, but there was one tiny problem - it was all made up.
"A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran."
The military seems to have quite a bit of trouble pulling these show and tell news events off. A year ago they tried convincing journalists that some weaponry was Iranian but jeez, the writing on them was all in english, which may have explained this:
"The BBC's Jane Peel attended the briefing in Baghdad, at which all cameras and recording devices were banned."
strange looking Farsi
In any case, the Iraqis who are fighting against the occupiers do have weapons, they just aren't coming from the country that our mass murderers hope next to destroy. Their arms are left over from the Saddam era, made in Russia, or some of the massive caches that the US military somehow lost track of. That last source was a pretty convenient way to prolong the fighting, thereby creating justification for never leaving the broken hellhole. The guy who was in charge of those disappearing arms is the same scumbag who's lying about Iranian weapons - Gen. Petraeus.
Arming our own enemies in Iraq
"June 6, 2008 In recent months, Gen. David Petraeus charged that Iran has supplied powerful rocket-propelled grenade launchers to Shiite militias in Iraq. But according to the U.S. government's own reports, there is no evidence to support that charge. In fact, the vast majority of RPGs in the hands of Shiite militants have come from either U.S.-purchased weapons intended for Iraq's new security forces, or from Saddam Hussein's old stockpiles, which the U.S. failed to secure when it took control of the country.
The Bush administration has long sought to create the impression that Iran has been playing a major military role in Iraq by supplying arms to Shiite militias, including the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's powerful Mahdi army. But to date, U.S. military officials have offered scant or even dubious evidence of Iranian military involvement in Iraq -- and Petraeus' allegation about the RPGs is a clear-cut case of unsubstantiated charges."

Well, hopefully someone learned something about the depths of lying and deceit these folks will go to to incite a war -- and it won't work twice.
It's depressing to see the new democratic leadership (not that I expected toooo much from them) roll over like lap-dogs on the whole "bring em home" issue when they got their hands on the reigns. I mean, I knew it would happen, because the same people who were in charge of the last group of leaders are in charge of this group of leaders, so you can't expect their mission to change much. But, I'll admit, I had a tiny hope they'd be able to follow through with at least part of their overwhelming mandate.
What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, the second try to incite war with bullshit evidence.
Anyway, many of the big power brokers who pulled off the last lie are now not in public positions of power, so it's also crippling the war machine a bit.
Not a ton, but a bit.
Oh those spineless dems. They're even worse than the repugs in some respects because at least the repug dripping slime don't pretend to be sanctimonious.
No, all the bullshit reasons have been laughed out of the room but that only leaves their favorite tactic - the false flag attack. Risky now that so many have caught on at this point, but they've repeatedly shown that psychopathic monsters will do anything.
