DICK CHENEY ORDERS MASS MEDIA TO SELL ATTACK ON IRAN
SEPT 6 2007
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
Following yesterday's revelation that Dick
Cheney has ordered top Neo-Con media outlets to unleash a PR blitz to sell a
war with Iran, Fox News has already responded with two prime time slots
devoted to all out warmongering propaganda in favour of a strike on Iran's
facilities.
The New Yorker magazine reported yesterday that Barnett Rubin, the highly
respected Afghanistan expert at New York University, had a conversation with a
member of a top neoconservative institution in Washington, who told him that
"instructions" had been passed on from the Office of the Vice-President to
roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day.
"It will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall
Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects,
writes Rubin, "It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to
knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained.
Evidently they don’t think they’ll ever get majority support for this—they
want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is “plenty.”
The onslaught has already begun on Fox News with both the FOX & Friends and
Hannity & Colmes shows devoting extensive segments to discussions on attacking
Iran.
The former show featured arch Neocon, Weekly Standard Editor and PNAC Chairman
Bill Kristol who gave not one but two reasons for bombing Iran. Kristol stated
that the US will have to take action either to eliminate the Iranian nuclear
program or in order to quell alleged support of Iraqi insurgents by Iranian
forces.
"We may have to do more to stop Iran, at least with respect to Iraq, leave
aside the nuclear program." Kristol stated.
He neglected to mention the fact that Iranian support of Iraqi insurgents has
not been verified by any intelligence and has been flatly refuted by the
Iranian government. In addition it is so called "Al Qaeda affiliated insurgent
groups" that the U.S. government is openly funding and supporting in order to
carry out bombings in Iran and destabilize Ahmadinejad's power base.
The Iranian government is also diplomatically allied to the current Iraqi
government, where as the Neocon White House has recently been implicated in
the actual overthrow and replacement of the Iraqi administration.
Later the same evening Hannity and Colmes featured Michael Ledeen whom Hannity
announced as one of his favourite authors, calling his newest book on how Iran
needs to be attacked "terrific".
Ledeen spouted that “It could be almost any day now where we have two terrible
choices to make, do we accept the existence of a nuclear Iran, with all that
implies or do we attack them militarily, which is also a terrible choice."
Hannity then suggested that there is a modicum of gender inequality in Iran,
as if that provides reasoning for attacking the country with military force,
and stated that he "views them as the rise of Nazi-ism in our time".
An organized mass media campaign to propagandize for a military strike on Iran
mirrors exactly what happened in late 2002 in preparation for the invasion of
Iraq and would be seen as par for the course in anticipation of an attack that
presidential candidate Ron Paul amongst other expert observers fear will take
place within 12 months.
All indications are that an attack is imminent. The London Times reported on
Sunday that the Pentagon had finalized plans for a 3 day blitz designed to
annihilate 1,200 targets in Iran and destroy the country's military
capability. in addition President Bush has warned of the risk of a "nuclear
holocaust" if the Iran is allowed to acquire nuclear capability, French
President Nicolas Sarkozy has intimated that an attack is on the cards, The
White House has declared the Iranian army a terrorist group, and the U.S. has
stationed three aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf.
