'The US Has The Moral Authority to Annihilate Iran Because They're Evil' (and vid)

'Tucker Carlson says that the US has the moral authority to annihilate Iran because they're evil.."
He tries to clarify in an e-mail exchange with Glenn Greenwald:
http://ggdrafts.blogspot.com/2012/02/email-exchange-with-tucker-carlson.html
It's my fault that I got tongue tied and didn't explain myself well last night. I'm actually on the opposite side on the Iran question from many people I otherwise agree with. I think attacking could be a disaster for the US and am worried that Obama will do it, for fear of seeming weak before an election. Of course the Iranian government is awful and deserves to be crushed. But I'm not persuaded we or Israel could do it in a way that doesn't cause even greater problems. That's the main lesson of Iraq it seems to me.
That's my sincere view, but I'd rather take some lumps and be misunderstood than seem like I'm reversing myself due to pressure from Twitter.

Ex Israeli Security Officer Praises Harper Stance on Iran

"Israel's former national security advisor, also a seasoned ex-spy, says Stephen Harper's assessment is 'eloquent' said Uzi Arad, a former national security adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a member of Mossad, the country's intelligence service for 22 years prior to that.
'I thought that he, at the same time, took the high moral ground as well as the perceptive strategic view of the matter. This is my humble reaction to the leader of a great nation,' Arad told the Canadian Press Thursday.
Arad said any military attack on Iran would be a 'surgical business' far less complicated than the attempts at regime change and democracy building in Afghanistan and Iraq.
'That is a job that can be done efficiently and effectively with no collateral damage,' he said..."

President Barack Obama warned that he is not bluffing about attacking Iran if it builds a nuclear weapon, but in an interview published Friday, Obama also cautioned U.S. ally Israel that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good.
In his most expansive remarks on the issue thus far, Obama told The Atlantic magazine that Iran and Israel both understand that "a military component" is among a mix of many options for dealing with Iran, along with sanctions and diplomacy.

There is no proof Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.
There is no proof the US will attack Iran unless it builds a nuclear weapon nor does it support an Israeli attack for other than that reason (Iran BUILDS a bomb). The President Obama has said both and he IS NOT campaigning on a "attack Iran" platform; he's campaigning on economic issues. A war with Iran will not help the economy, it would hurt it.
The only people I see saying the US is going to first strike Iran for no real reason is right and left winged groups on both sides of the fence. Fortunately they are not the Commander in Chief nor are the ignorant NASCAR masses that think Iran has a bomb.

If there is, to cite that odious phrase, no sunlight between Obama and the Israeli state, then why is Mr. O. going to perform the annual act of obeisance to the Zionist establishment and speaking at AIPAC?
It's beyond "de rigueur" and it doesn't come across as perfunctory theatrics-- it's a ritual of self-abasement for the U.S. Unless the POTUS this time makes a strong firm statement in favour of Palestinian rights and international law and against Israeli adventurism in Iran, he's showing himself as no better than AIPAC's Step N Fetchit.
All the high-ranking US officials who loudly broadcast their deference to Israel-right-or-wrong may well, in the opinion of some experts, be the genuine voice of the Empire, but I doubt it. As people on commondreams.org keep saying: Remember the U.S.S. Liberty (1967).
IMHO, for AIPAC a U.S. leader is essentially no more than a "shabbos goy".
You seem to have swallowed whole the Mearsheimer/Walt thesis that the United States is being led around by the nose by Israel; whereas in reality the United States is a willing partner. In fact it supplies enormous military and financial aid to Israel, without which it would not be able to be the US's power proxy in the mideast.
Obama takes no orders from Israel or AIPAC. He speaks at their conference because he applauds and supports their activities.
And I object to the racial slur at the end of the second paragraph.

So can you speculate on how the blood for oil gang will end up bombing Iran? Medieval siege for ten years, like Iraq? Will the Gladio Gang decide that weakening millions by hunger and lack of medical supplies worked well enough against Iraqis in order to get to one man that it should work in Iran, too? Will news reporter Leslie Stahl be asking the same question of another cosmetic government employee as to whether the deaths of half a million children was worth the effort?

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ - A bipartisan group of former U.S. political and military leaders is calling for the U.S. State Department to remove a prominent Iranian dissident group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran/Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (PMOI/MeK), from its list of terrorist organizations, saying the classification is unjustified and 3,400 Iranian dissidents housed at Camp Ashraf in Iraq cannot be safely resettled until the change is made.
"What troubles me is the politicization of the national terrorist list," former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-RI, said at a conference attended by more than 1,000 Iranian-Americans and community leaders Saturday in New York. "I call on the State Department of the United States to be honest, to be truthful, and to follow the facts."
LIFG was previously listed by the U.K. as an al-Qa'eda affiliated terrorist group, too. Not anymore. And now they want to delist MEK, another al-Qa'eda/al-CIA'da affiliated terrorist group.
The Obama Administration has attempted to distance themselves from the murders of Iranian scientists and general all around terrorism in Iran over the past two years, the mujahideen-e-khalq is protected by the U.S. Military at Camp Ashraf in Iraq since 2003.
The U.S. Government, Mujahideen-e-Khalq and al-Qa'eda leader Ayman al Zawahiri are covert allies in the Middle East working to destroy Iraq, Libya, Syria, and hopefully for them, Iran, too. It's a huge covert operation dating back to the 1980's. Charade they are.

"The global empire, with a Jewish-dominated Palestine, beholden to England for its tenuous survival, surrounded by a balkanised group of squabbling Arab states, was foreseen by Halford Mackinder as a key linchpin. 'If Arabia, as the passage land from Europe to the Indies and from the Northern to the Southern Heartland, be central to the World-Island, then the hill citadel of Jerusalem has a strategical position.' Mackinder realized that this one last formal colony was necessary to complete the empire geopolitically. Though Zionism already had its following in the British political elite, his inspiration was not Zionist but rather imperial, and by putting Jews in a Palestinian homeland, he was assembling the pieces in today's imperial order.."

Iran, Canada and the Petro State - by Andrew Nikiforuk
http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2102/03/05/Iran-Petro-State/
"...Canada's foreign minister John Baird recently invoked the Holocaust and Mein Kampf when talking about Iran's petro politicians. His wild rhetoric helps to keep the price of oil high, a driver of costly bitumen production. It is instructive that Baird has not denounced Sinopec's human rights violations in Sudan, its links to terrorist supporting governments, its dark intrigues in Myanmar and Anglola; or its charges of abuse of temporary workers in Alberta.
By now most Canadians know why Baird's invective is so selective. According to the prime minister's ethical oil office, every communist or gangster investor becomes as white as snow when they buy a cheap chunk of Canada's oil patch. By this reasoning, it is truly Iran's great misfortune not to have invested in the tarsands months ago and taken advantage of its miraculous diplomatic upgrading process.."

'..it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the US would be...any military operation against Iran will likely be unpopular around the world and requires the proper international context..'"

"McClatchy has a great three part series by Sheera Frenkel on Israel and its nuclear Iran scare campaign. There are at least three major points to take away from it:
The systematic campaign to incite war on Iran started, more or less secretly, immediately after Iraq was defeated in the first Gulf war. When in 2006 the US war was on the verge of defeat in Iraq the anti-Iran campaign was turned into a public one. Israel's plans are political, not military. Israel will not attack Iran but wants the US to do the job. But the piece missing is the strategic points why the nuclear issue is played up at all.
The nuclear issue is not the real issue. The real issue is to achieve regional hegemony in the Middle East for the US as much as for its junior partner Israel. That requires to destroy Iran's military and economic capacity (see Iraq) or regime change towards a US friendly dictatorship. Here are some excerpts from these pieces..."

'It's part of a game being played,' Ruth Klein, national director of advocacy for Bnai Brith Canada told QMI Agency on Wednesday from Toronto.
Klein added it's 'absurd' that Nelson - former chief of Roseau River First Nation - and three other current or former First Nations chiefs from Manitoba are trying to arrange a further meeting with leaders of Iran's 'oppressive' regime in that country to discuss the struggles facing aboriginals in Canada.
Nelson and Chiefs Frank Brown of Canupawakpa and Orville Smoke of Dakota Plains Wapeton, as well as former Sioux Valley Chief Ken Whitecloud met Monday with officials of the Iranian embassy in Ottawa. Nelson later said that their requested meeting with the Iranian government in Tehran is likely 'going to happen pretty quick.'.."
