[QUOTE]A strong statement from General David Petraeus about Iran's intervention in Iraq could set the stage for a US attack on Iranian military facilities, according to a Whitehall assessment. In closely watched testimony in Washington next week, Gen Petraeus will state that the Iranian threat has risen as Tehran has supplied and directed attacks by militia fighters against the Iraqi state and its US allies.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]There are signs that targeting Iran would unite American politicians across the bitter divide on Iraq. "Iran is the bull in the china shop," said Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the Armed Services Committee. "In all of this, they seem to have links to all of the Shi'ite groups, whether they be political or military."[/QUOTE]
And something else to consider:
[QUOTE]On April 3 the International Herald Tribune reported that senators and representatives have made millions of dollars from their investments in defense companies totaling $196 million. Rep. Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is already on board with the attack on Iran.[/QUOTE]
This would be funny if not for the fact our "world" may be about to change drastically. Our economy is riding a very fine line right now, the Middle East is a powder keg and one very small spark could set it off. Our government doesn't care anymore about whats in our best interest, only what fills their pockets. Our top commanders have already said that at our current level a "all volunteer force" is not going to work much longer. Draft anyone? Wonder how long before those REX-84 exercises, are no longer exercises.
