WAR AGAINST IRAN: HILLARY CLINTON’S BIG LIE

Whilst in Saudi Arabia yesterday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a press conference:

With respect to Iran, we had an opportunity to discuss the P-5+1 negotiations – what we expect, what we are intending to present when the meetings begin. We’re going in with one objective: to resolve the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. And I had a chance to talk with our friends here about how we are approaching these talks. I also reiterated what the President has said, that our policy is one of prevention, not containment.

This is pure nonsense.

First, if the ‘international community’ have any ‘concerns’ about Iran’s nuclear program, it is only because the ‘international community’ has accepted the propaganda about Iran having a nuclear weapons program and has done so without seeing any hard evidence whatsoever to support these claims.

All of these claims about Iran’s so-called ‘nuclear weapons program’ have originated from the US, Israel and their Western allies. The claims are being believed – or at least supported – by the governments of other nations around the planet that have a vested interest in supporting US foreign policy.

One should also note that the rhetoric has taken a subtle turn in the terminology. As we can see above, Clinton doesn’t actually mention ‘Iran’s nuclear weapons program’; it’s simply referred to as ‘Iran’s nuclear program’ as she now relies on presumptive inference to allow her audience to assume she’s talking about a nuclear weapons program. It seems that earlier references in the rhetoric about a ‘nuclear weapons program’ have done its job and the presumption is now firmly planted in our minds. The reality, of course is; Iran has never denied that it has a nuclear program. It has, however, always denied having a nuclear weapons program and has always insisted that its nuclear program is solely in pursuit of peaceful uses such as power generation and the production of isotopes for cancer treatment.

Secondly, when Hillary Clinton says, “We’re going in with one objective”; it most definitely isn’t to “resolve the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program”. The real objective is simple; regime change in Iran through war and to provide an excuse for Israel to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The fact the US are far more interested in pushing for war is illustrated by Clintons reiteration of US policy as far as Iran’s nuclear program is concerned which is ‘prevention, not containment’. If Clinton isn’t interested in ‘containing’ Iran’s nuclear program then, it seems, they will be preventing it – even if the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Clearly, one way or the other, the US, Israel and their Western allies are not interested in listening to Iran’s claims that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only and war for Israel is the real is the ‘one objective they’re going in for’.


UPDATE

This interesting piece in The New York Times today illustrates how the ‘Iran has a nuclear weapons program’ meme is juxta-positioned with the ‘Saddam has WMD’s’ rhetoric in the run to the invasion and destruction of Iraq. It shows how the intelligence community are struggling to come to terms with the nonsense over the Iraq intelligence failures yet still maintain their professional dignity in the face of political pressures to repeat those failures within the Iran context

What’s particularly interesting about this piece is how ultra-neocon John R. Bolton concedes that, “The intelligence analysts I’ve dealt with have always been willing to engage in debates on their conclusions, but there is top-down pressure to make the assessments come out a certain way”.

And isn’t that what’s happening now?

The country has faced a number of political and economical crises since very inception of its foundation, but luckily people do emerge on top and one name that does ring bells is Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich, an entrepreneur who has given the country a new sense of direction. He has not only successfully completed a multibillion dollar agreement with Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan who is the son of the president of UAE but along with that he even gave a lot of positive attributes to Pakistan. [url=http://www.mohsinhabibwaraich.com]Mr. Mohsin Habib Waraich[/url] recently signed an agreement which is giving him the opportunity to emerge as an entrepreneur to be in foreign market and there he practices his entrepreneurial skills bringing it to his own mother land, Pakistan. The construction project would bring in a lot of fruits to the Pakistan economy and also strengthen the ties between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Originating from a political background[url=http://www.mohsinhabibwaraich.com] Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich[/url] is believed to have this vision in him as his father was also in the defense ministry. The politically groomed entrepreneur took the vision along and set a groundbreaking deal with the Sheikh of UAE. In this project he will be 49% share holder, whereas the Shaikh would be 51%. This entrepreneurship will definitely will be setting offices in UAE but rest assure this is not all, as pointed out previously about the vision that this man possess, he did even pursue the people and the Shaikh of UAE to invest in his own home land Pakistan. Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich with his struggle and determination did convince Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan to see Pakistan as a land of opportunity. This shows that Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich has a belief that the country does hold a lot of potential in itself.
