8. Iran is essential to the PNAC/neocon plan...

All you have to to is read the PNAC plan, which the neocons so graciously put on the Web for all of
us to see. http://www.newamericancentury.org/index.html

They list the countries that they desire--for their resources and/or geopolitical advantages.

So, they will have them. PERIOD.

Iraq was first on their wish list. In fact, when Clinton was President, the neocons demanded
that he invade and take out Saddam Hussein. These reptiles have been wanting this real
estate for a long, long time. Here's the 1998 letter from the neocons, urging President Clinton
to go to war with Saddam. http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

The neocons also list Syria, Libya and Iran as targets. Iran will be a tougher "get" but
they'll get it. We human beings seem to lap up the manufactured crises, lies and reality
twisting--in order to help the neocons justify actions that they take in these countries.

They've been iteratively conditioning us to soften up on the idea of plundering Iran. That will be
the toughest battle, because unlike Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq--the population is very
well educated and more modern. The must justify the horrible consequences of taking
Iran--with equally horrifying stories about what will happen if we don't obliterate that
country.

If you ever wonder what is driving our foreign policy--or what will happen next--just
refer back to the PNAC plan. It's all there.

We're not doing a damn thing about it--and no President since George W Bush has
wavered from their plan. All of their dreams are coming true--with each and every
country that they wish to dominate and plunder.

No doubt, the "Iran is going to blow up Israel and also Wisconsin" malarkey will continue and exacerbate--just as the "Saddam has WMD" and "Saddam is part of Al Queda" lies were slowly ramped up before we invaded Iraq.
