Scott Ritter: Bush's Brinkmanship with Iran

I’ve been wondering why Congress axed $2B for veterans until I heard Scott Ritter on Randi Rhodes (Air America) clarifying an erroneously written story about the potential US military preemptive attack on Iran in June, 2005. Ritter stated that in October, 2004, President Bush reviewed Pentagon plans to have a military capability to attack by June 2005, if the President so orders. When Secretary of State Condi Rice was confronted by America’s European alllies in February 2005 about this covert plan, she said that “the question [of a military strike] is simply not on the agenda at this point — we have diplomatic means to do this”. That is until June 2005, as Ritter articulated so well to Rhodes. It will be the same “either you’re with us or against us” brinkmanship, de ja vu. Here’s the article Ritter wrote to set the record straight.

Sorry Combat Veterans, you’ll just have to wait to get proper medical treatment until Bush as destroyed the world.

Late last year, in the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential election, I was contacted by someone close to the Bush administration about the situation in Iraq.

There was a growing concern inside the Bush administration, this source said, about the direction the occupation was
going.

The Bush administration was keen on achieving some semblance of stability in Iraq before June 2005, I was told.

When I asked why that date, the source dropped the bombshell: because that was when the Pentagon was told to be prepared to launch a massive aerial attack against Iran, Iraq’s neighbour to the east, in order to destroy the
Iranian nuclear programme.

Why June 2005?, I asked. “The Israelis are concerned that if the Iranians get their nuclear enrichment programme up
and running, then there will be no way to stop the Iranians from getting a nuclear weapon. June 2005 is seen as the decisive date.”

To be clear, the source did not say that President Bush had approved plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, as has been widely reported.

The president had reviewed plans being prepared by the Pentagon to have the military capability in place by June 2005…
