It's Started
This story is related to the NYC bombing which is an obvious Black Op to discredit the anti-war movement. Read the AP story about the letters received. This scare tactic has CIA fingerprints all over it.

its still about the OIL
Greetings
Iran in March of this year opened a Bourse, an exchange, that will trade oil and petroleum products valued in Euros NOT Dollars.
Suddenly we discover a million reasons to invade this country and by amazing coincidence, the other major terrorist Chavez supports Iran's Euro OIl Bourse...
Its always about the oil with Dubya our 'coward in theif', just follow the money...
Enjoy the journey

Never Make Your Move Too Soon
Let the terror alerts begin! I would echo the info in the first letter here, and would just add that while everything surrounding the New York recruiting office incident and those strange bedfellows (the Christian Right and AIPAC) who would love nothing more than to see us plunge into a third war for purely religious reasons (or so they would have us think, since it plays better than the Oil Game with the rubes), have begun frothing at the mouth owing to the very shakey prospect of a McCain Presidency, but they may have been unable to conceal their leer of "pure, educated evil" and so may have blown their wad. It is already clear the Times Square bombing was committed by American agents, and even though it's impossible to pin it on the CIA yet, it does, indeed, have the MIC's fingerprints all over it. Meanwhile, Mossad and CUFI can barely camouflage their mutual masterbation over the prospects, which is vaguely amusing, considering these groups will one day, given the right "signs" set about killing each other with gusto. A little premature ejaculation may have occurred, though. Some things become more transparent with time. Put Mad John McCain into the mix and we have the potential to actually blow up the warmongering plot --if the sane among us will only stay calm, collect the facts and then dare to speak them when the timing is right. Unlike the "Iran hawks", who just can't seem to keep their hands off their own schlongs.
Timing is everything -- especially when it's bad.

Nearly Complete Alternate Fantasy World
Now they are trying to do this sort of thing with Venezuela as well. They speak as if these places were far-off exotic devil-lands. Even when we have beloved Magglio Ordonez and other Detroit Tigers stars recently arrived from nearby Venezuela.
Americans: Iranians and Venezuelans are regular folks. Please do not bomb them.

i wish this nonsense were the product of conspiracy nuts.
but it's hard to tell who's insane anymore. the bush cabinet has certifiable megalomaniacs, the christian(so-called) israeli supporters are in it to bring on the end of the world. the cia is doing what unchecked secret police do: justifying their existence by finding plots, creating plots, falsifying plots- and failing to see real plots.
and poor old iran is in the hands religious nutters whose only claim to respect is that, for historical reasons, they happen to be right when they declare that the usa is the great satan.
i'd be worried, if i were an israeli. their brilliant foreign policy of making themselves hated by several hundred million neighbors is having consequences that are not necessarily to israel's advantage.
i blame harry truman: he could have stopped the zionist invasion of palestine, but he needed the jewish vote in '48.

The Alternative to McCain
Just may be changing the focus to renewing the Cold War with Russia since that can be sold as a credible threat to initiate higher end defense spending. You really cannot justify big ticket items going after low level warfare with IEDs and terrorism. You need someone with missiles, jets, bombers and ships to get the big money flowing again to defend ourselves from a more credible threat.
The Al Qaeda thing is wearing thin. Time for a new enemy. An old enemy. They will sell it and people will buy it.
Now guess which candidate will be doing that if they are elected. You won't have a clue from the mainstream media.

Hillary and her hawks have their eyes on Iran
The heir apparent to the Leiberman doctrine, wants to be president, and wants to be the woman to bring regime change to Iran. Get ready for a bigger mess than you ever imagined or bargained for if she becomes president.

Strange Article by Salon Standards
I have to say I found the structure and tone of this article unusual in comparison to others of it's ilk on salon. I say this because it presented a lot of information which was ultimately damning to the Israeli and American view of Iran's supposed threat without actually editorializing the fact that this information was damning within the article.
In contrast, most articles on salon display their writer's point of view quite nakedly, and to such a degree that they often lapse into unwarranted polemicism, however this particular piece may give the readership too much credit. For my own part, when I read something like this I read it in the context of knowing that Iran has not in fact ever launched an aggressive war against any nation on the globe at any point in its rather long history (Iran is the oldest nation on earth, older even than Egypt).
I also read the article knowing that the US fomented a coup in Iran in 1953, a coup which resulted in the overthrow of the democratically elected (and progressive) government and resulted in the installation of a murderous dictator who terrorized the civillian population (with military, financial and propoganda aid from the US) over the course of the following quarter century. So draconian were the Shah's methods that the only people who had the nerve to stand up to him ultimately were a bunch of religious fanatics for whom even death was not a concern.
Not to belabor the point but my ex-girlfriend's family moved to the US after the Shah fell and she has got some truly chilling stories about family members being flogged in public square's by the Shah's secret police in Tehran for such seditious practices as holding student demonstrations against the government. Several of those same family members were later consigned to fight and die in a war between Iraq and Iran (a truly meaningless war which the US funded, armed and supported on both sides and which resulted in the death of over one million people).
In short, while Iranian foreign policy has been abhoerent many times in the past, this foreign policy should be taken in the context of a largely peaceable country which has never attacked its neighbors and which has received an incredible amount of completely undeserved ill-treatment from the US.
Mr. Levey's article starts off by quoting an Israeli intelligence agent's take on the NIE report about Iran. Given all of the above, and given the fact that Israel has a belligerent and largely dishonorable history I can only hope that salon readers will take this man's opinions with a considerable grain of dead sea salt.
