Washington
- The
US Administration was foiled last week when it was discovered that the “secret” Iranian nuclear facility they were about to reveal to the rest of the UN Security Council had already been reported to the IAEA, by Iran, as legally
required. But no one seemed to notice. The Western media still crowed about the “uncovering” of a secret facility by the Obama Administration and ran several stories questioning the ramifications in the lead-up to this week’s
talks.
Despite the US intelligence community saying they
aren’t, despite the IAEA saying they have seen no proof that they
are, pretty much everyone takes Iran’s “nuclear
ambitions” for granted, and are just split over whether or not its worth going to war
over. If facts don’t matter the war mongers can ALWAYS scare the public into war.
It worked in Iraq… and 6+ years after the occupation a non-trivial minority of Americans still think Iraq had
WMDs.
The US has already 130,000+ troops in Iraq and will likely have over 100,000 troops in Afghanistan very
soon.
Thursday’s talks will be about lining up international forces on Obama’s side for sanctions or worse against Iran, and the media will gleefully report the official line, no matter how little sense it
makes.
