Former CIA Agent Bob Baer: We Will Attack Iran Within Six Months

This is getting serious now. Baer has pretty good contacts in his former agency I would suspect.

He talks about The Bush Administration's not using ground forces, but just bombing, with the expectation that this will be enough for us to defeat the Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Btw, this fits right in with our specifically declaring the IRGC a terrorist group, so that we can hit them and not the rest of Iran, and claim we only attacked terrorists and not a sovereign nation. Ok here is the even more frightening part:

Strengthening the Administration's case for a strike on Iran, there's a belief among neo-cons that the IRGC is the one obstacle to democratic and a friendly Iran. They believe that if we were to get rid of the IRGC, the clerics would fall, and our thirty-years war with Iran over. It's another neo-con delusion, but still it informs White House thinking.

And what do we do if just the opposite happens - a strike on Iran unifies Iranians behind the regime? An Administration official told me it's not even a consideration. "IRGC IED's are a casus belli for this administration. There will be an attack on Iran."
So how many problems can you find in these two paragraphs. Let's see:

1) "There's a belief among neo-cons." Ok, so we are still trusting this intellectually dormant band of foreign-policy retards to predict what will happen in Iran? I mean, after their stunning success in predicting what would occur in Iraq...

2) Get rid of the IRGC and everything will magically fall into place. A democracy will flourish! Just like in Iraq--we got rid of Saddam and it all just worked out peacefuly.

3) There is NO PLAN for the aftermath because they assume everything will work out. Sound familiar?

There is only one solution: They must be stopped. We at Brave New Films aim to do that, with our new Fox Attacks Iran! video and site. We are aiming to once again expose one of the top GOP propaganda machines and stop them from pushing for more war. So go to the site. Watch the video. Sign the leter. Stop another senseless America-weakening war.

Ok, I think we may have found the t-shirt slogan here:

OH - and are there any better pics of Cliff around anywhere? Not that he doesn't look absolutely ADORABLE in the picture on this site, but we need something else.

Between this and Sy Hersh's stuff, among a couple of others' who I can't remember, I'm freaking out.

This bunch of self-indulgent, destructive sado-masachists needs to go...NOW.
