Washington Post article causes alarm that U.S. Bush administration is talking peace while planning World War III against Iran

Edited by Peter Tremblay

Washington Post writer Robin Wright reports that "America's allies are increasingly concerned about the Bush administration's plans to unilaterally escalate pressure on Iran, fearing that an evolving strategy may also set in motion a process that could lead to military action if Iran does not back down, according to diplomats and officials of foreign countries."
"Although they share deep concern about Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions, European and Arab governments are particularly alarmed about new U.S. moves, including plans to cite Iran's entire Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "specially designated global terrorist." The move would block the elite unit's assets and pressure foreign companies doing business with its vast commercial network", Mr. Wright further adds.
Allies are less concerned about that step than they are about the new momentum behind it, and the potential for spillover in a region reeling with multiple conflicts. "If the region is strewn with crises, then there's potential for real disaster. There's a fear that they will all merge into a super-emergency bigger than any one country can deal with," a leading Arab envoy said.
Language from the U.S. State Department has triggered further alarm. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters: "We are confronting Iranian behaviour across a variety of different fronts on a number of different 'battlefields,' if you will.
"The Bush administration has confirmed that it contemplates the possible use tactical bunker buster nuclear bombs to "take out" Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons' facilities," reports Canadian Professor Michel Chossudovsky, who is a learned expert who has written extensively about the U.S. Bush administration's military expansionist agenda.
An operational plan to wage aerial attacks on Iran has been in "a state of readiness" since June 2005. "Essential military hardware to wage this operation has been deployed."
The Bush administration appears to be emulating the strategy used by Adolf Hilter leading up to World War II, in which he talked peace, but planned for the launching of wars, toward an oppressive Nazi Globalization agenda. It is interesting to note that BBC4's investigative journalist Mike Thomson has linked the grandfather of current U.S. President Bush who supported Adolf Hitler's racist and fascistic military expansionist policies and the rise of Nazi Germany, to an attempt in 1933 to launch a coup to violently overthrow the then U.S. President FDR administration.
