Target: Iran

It seems that President Bush's speech on January 10, 2007 was not so much an address on Iraq, but rather, it was an announcement of his intentions to attack Iran.

Item #1

This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region.

We will expand intelligence sharing, and deploy Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies. We will work with the governments of Turkey and Iraq to help them resolve problems along their border. And we will work with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region.

--President Bush, January 10, 2007

Why the hell do our troops need Patriot Missile Systems in Iraq? They don't stop IED's or "insurgents".

Item #2

Jan. 11, 2006 (Toronto Daily News)
Shortly after U.S. President Bush addressed the nation on the increase in military presence in Iraq, U.S. troops raided an Iranian consulate in northern Iraq and detained several people.

Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency reported today that U.S. military entered the Iranian consulate in Irbil and seized computers, documents and other items. The report said six staff members remain in custody.

U.S. officials have not confirmed the consulate raid, but did say that they had taken six people into custody in Irbil during the course of "routine security operations."

The Iranian foreign ministry appealed to the Iraqi government to obtain the release of its personnel.

It is a clear provocation of Iran.

Item #3

On January 5, 2006, Admiral Fallon was named the new Commander of Central Command to replace a General Abizaid. Admiral Fallon has experience in air and naval warfare.

Wait a minute, Iraq doesn't even have access to the sea. On the other hand, Iran does have a navy.

President Bush is hell bent on triggering war with Iran. The man has gone fucking apeshit.

Good luck, folks. We are going to need it.

Thanks for reading the crap i typed.
