ö Surge and Mirrors - Bush's Last Stand  Paul Craig Roberts: Surge and Mirrors: What Bush Really Said Bush's "surge" speech is a hoax, but members of Congress and media commentators are discussing the surge as if it were real. I invite the reader to examine the speech. The "surge" content consists of nonsensical propagandistic statements. The real content of the speech is toward the end where Bush mentions Iran and Syria. more   Bush's Last Stand - by Justin Raimondo We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq. The last sentence ought to give us pause, because it underscores the real danger of remaining in Iraq one day longer, never mind four to six months or a year. Bush clearly sees the struggle in regional terms, and seeks to expand the conflict beyond Iraq's borders. That has always been the point of our intervention in Iraq: to establish a launching pad for the "liberation" of the Middle East. Why else are U.S. soldiers storming the Iranian consulate in Irbil, and taking six consular personnel hostage - clearly an act of war?  permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?
