Iran's obtaining nuclear power and the U.S. getting out of Iraq

Reader comment on item: Saddam on death row

Submitted by Lily Flacks (Canada), Nov 30, 2006 at 12:03

A confluence of events. Disasters seem to happen where there is a confluence of events that bespeak of lack of nerve. The leaders don't seem to get that there is no dealing with those who wish to do us harm.

I heard on the news this a.m., something to the effect that President Bush said the U.S. will stay in Iraq as long as the Iraqi president/government wants them there. This, to me, seems to be a setting for an official withdrawal from Iraq? In regard to the nuclear capability of Iran. During the preparation for the invasion of Iraq, there was evidence out of Israel that the weapons of mass destruction, as they were called, were moved to Syria and to Iran. (These groups may not like each other, but they are determined to work together, as the Mafia has successfully shown, when there is a common goal.)

Is it possible that the reason that Iran is suddenly so ready with this capability is that a portion of that capability., had been moved from Iraq to Iran? President Bush seems, to me, to blow in the wind with whichever person is his next best friend (Britain, France and now, even more frighteningly, Amman). Bush makes historic and principled doctrine announcements, and then seems to get lost on the way to the store. Jordan has much to lose if the Palestinian issue is made clear.

The King of Jordan is now talking to President Bush about what he claims are three civil wars going on at the same time in the Middle East and that specific strategies must be put into place to end these to safeguard the world. One of these fictitious "civil wars" is between Israel and the Palestinians. So, the questions will be as to what disastrous concession Israel going to be demanded to provide that will lead Israel further to acquiesce to its own destruction, and how will the solutions further weaken the resolve of the West. I believe, the Jewish people need to now take special note as there is a strategy being put into place by a coalition of Arab states to rob Israel of its statehood and Jewish people of their freedoms; with the active, albeit, acquiescence of the Western powers in the vain hope of attaining the security of the West, and, not to forget the continuance of profits for Western oil corporations.
