Is the Bush administration behind the bombings in Iran?

The most recent attacks again raise questions about the activities of the US military and CIA inside Iran as the Bush administration intensifies its preparations for war.

Cheney Tries to "Checkmate" the Joint Chiefs on Iran

The fact that Iran hasn't attacked or threatened us in any way, thus making an attack an international War Crime, isn't an obstacle for CheneyCo. The fact that Congress hasn't been consulted, thus making an attack illegal under U.S. law, isn't an obstacle for CheneyCo. The fact that oil prices would double and create a global depression isn't an obstacle for CheneyCo. (After all Cheney's cronies would just get richer.) There's only one obstacle: the entire military chain of command thinks the idea is insane.

But, contrary to the administration's claims, no hard evidence exists that Iran ships arms to Iraq. Nor does the International Atomic Energy Agency believe it's capable of developing nuclear weapons in the foreseeable future. While only a fool would put such behavior past Iran, as pretexts for war they're at lest as threadbare as those the administration used on Iraq.

Generals opposing Iraq war break with military tradition

In op-ed pieces, interviews and TV ads, more than 20 retired U.S. generals have broken ranks with the culture of salute and keep it in the family. Instead, they are criticizing the commander in chief and other top civilian leaders who led the nation into what the generals believe is a misbegotten and tragic war.

According to Petras, a sociologist at Binghamton University, New York, the pro-Zionist "power configuration" is not just the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee(AIPAC).

Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths

How come the government numbers of 3,777 as of 9/7/7 are so low? The answer is simple, the government does not want the 73,000 dead to be compared to the 55,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam Iraq = Vietnam. What the government is doing is only counting the soldiers that die in action before they can get them into a helicopter or ambulance. Any soldier who is shot but they get into a helicopter before he dies is not counted.
