Headlines : GovernmentBush's Rush to Armageddon
George W. Bush’s shakeup of top military and intelligence officials for the Middle East may have a worrisome subtext. Though widely viewed in Official Washington as routine personnel changes, the removal of key critics of military escalation give Bush a freer hand to implement options that could include expanding the conflict to Iran and Syria. Possibly with the help of Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear targets, Bush could be charting a course to Armageddon.

George W. Bush has purged senior military and intelligence officials who were obstacles to a wider war in the Middle East, broadening his options for both escalating the conflict inside Iraq and expanding the fighting to Iran and Syria with Israel’s help.
On Jan. 4, Bush ousted the top two commanders in the Middle East, Generals John Abizaid and George Casey, who had opposed a military escalation in Iraq, and removed Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, who had stood by intelligence estimates downplaying the near-term threat from Iran’s nuclear program.
Most Washington observers have treated Bush’s shake-up as either routine or part of his desire for a new team to handle his planned “surge” of U.S. troops in Iraq. But intelligence sources say the personnel changes also fit with a scenario for attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities and seeking violent regime change in Syria.
Bush appointed Admiral William Fallon as the new chief of Central Command for the Middle East despite the fact that Fallon, a former Navy fighter pilot and currently head of the Pacific Command, will oversee two ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

wouldn’t it also be perfect if those 30 000 troops came just when a broader war started?
Perhaps with the army away, Canada, Mexico, et al can invade Washington and institute a regime change. Considering the general attitude toward policital involvement in the U.S., most folk’ll probably just see the invading Allied troops and say “meh”, and point them in the direction of DC…
Ominous Sign of a Wider War: ‘‘The recent replacement of General Abizaid by Admiral Fallon, along with other recent moves announced by the defense secretary, should give deep pause to anyone concerned about the prospect of escalation in the Iraq War. Contrary to the advice given by the Iraq Study Group, Bush appears to be planning for a wider war – with much higher risk of catastrophic failure – not a gradual and dignified withdrawal from the region,’‘ writes Michael T. Klare.
