More Color-Coding from the Neo-Cons

With the foundation of lies and propaganda laid solid, U.S. Defense Dept. officials now claim that Bush is poised to support a unilateral Israeli strike on Iran. Allegedly, the Chimp in Chief has given the "amber light" on the utter annihilation of Tehran.

Could the Neo-Cons be any more fascinated with assigning hues to all things related to "terror" and the Middle East? Before I sat down to write, I probably should have double checked what shade of al-Qaeda threat we're currently under. Not that it matters anyway, but I'm sure I'll find it soon enough. No doubt it's streaming minute to minute on the Fox News ticker.

Incidentally, "Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready," the [Pentagon] official said.

Bush's blessing comes right as Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak visits Washington this week for "consultations" on Iran. Last week, it was Mossad chief Meir Dagan in town. Two weeks ago, it was U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael Mullen, in Israel.

Maybe it's all just a straight run of coincidence, but this seems like an awful lot of coordination if there's nothing on the immediate horizon. Even the Iraqi government had to scold the U.S. late last week for using Iraq airspace and U.S. bases in Iraq to take off, land, and run drills.

This is rather reminiscent of our massing troops and weapons in Afghanistan's neighbors like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan days before 9/11 - knowing the attacks were coming, and knowing we were going to invade. Who knows if there's a false flag operation in store for us, as a pretext for bombing the heck out of Iran, but there are just way too many State visits back and forth for all of this to amount to nothing.

Can we say $400/barrel oil?
