Here’s today’s headline from MSNBC today [1]:
U.S.-Iran tensions could trigger accidental war
Here’s what is going on, according to this article:
Citing Iranian involvement with Iraqi militias and Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, the Bush administration has shifted to offense in its confrontation with Iran — building up the U.S. military in the Persian Gulf and promising more aggressive moves against Iranian operatives in Iraq and Lebanon.
The behind-the-scenes struggle between the two nations could explode into open warfare over a single misstep, analysts and U.S. military officials warn.
If a war broke out with Iran, that war would be the least accidental thing that has ever happened. A plan to attack Iran has been in place for many months, as reported at least two years ago. [2]
My question tonight is why this headline characterizes any war that might result as “accidental.” We’re only an flimsy excuse away from bombs dropping, just in time so Bush can start thinking about cleaning out his things, retiring back to his ranch as the fake cowboy he is, and leaving this country and the middle-east in a much bigger mess than it already is.
