Only a Psychopath Would Approve Atomic Genocide of Iranian People

By Willis A. Carto — AFP

Although it would be unconstitutional, genocidal and a war crime, President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their inner circle of “Neo-Con Israel First advisors are determined to attack Iran (Persia) because Israel wants it. This is documented in a series of exposes by London’s Sunday Telegraph.

Bush’s inner circle has decided for “the Great Decider” that he does not want to leave office without having a “Mission Accomplished in Iran” photo op. Pentagon bureaucrats have mapped out 2,000 targets in Iran to be bombed.

A bonus, they hope, would be the killing or injuring of Iran’s gutsy president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, considered a no-compromise enemy of Israel.

A group of retired military officers urged war against Iran at a conference in Washington sponsored by the Iran Policy Committee. Saber-rattlers included Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney and Navy Capt. Chuck Nash.

To everyone’s surprise, Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central Command (CENTCOM), has been the lone hero preventing, so far, a disastrous attack on Iran. Fallon, who realizes that American military action against Iran would hurt America more than Iran and wants to bring American troops home as soon as possible, vowed that there would be no war against Iran on his watch. Inspired by this 35-year Navy veteran, patriotic Pentagon and CIA officers - foreseeing a debacle far worse than Americas experiencing in Iraq - are leaking the news that the White House has begun a carefully calibrated program of escalation leading to war with Iran.

A senior intelligence officer said to watch for stories of “Iranian meddling” in Iraq to soften up public opinion for U.S. attacks on Iran. (more…)

Ron Paul Raises Over 5 Million Dollars!!

By Charles Coughlin– EURO

Ron Paul has raised five million dollars in the third quarter. This is a 114 percent increase over the amount raised in the second quarter. Ron Paul is the only major Republican candidate, who has increased his fund-raising from the second quarter to the third quarter. (Fred Thompson wasn’t officially running during the second quarter.)

Ron Paul has won 11 straw polls and placed in the top three in all the straw polls with just a few exceptions. Only Thompson and Romney have come close to Paul’s straw poll successes.

Most of the “celebrity” candidates got a big rush of donations at the start of their campaign. McCain got a big pile of money at the start and his donations have been dropping off ever since. Giuliani got a HUGE pile of donations early on and his fund-raising has been dropping off.

Romney didn’t have the celebrity status of McCain or Giuliani and has had to keep dipping into his bank account to stay in the top tier. His fund raising also dropped badly in the third quarter.

Ron Paul wasn’t that well-known to begin with. He started off with little money and is the only candidate who is INCREASING his ability to raise money while everyone else in the GOP is slipping.
