Tony Cartalucci: Corporate Fascists Clamor for Iran War!

While US politicians grapple over the credibility of using the US DEA's bomb plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador as a pretext to escalate tensions with Iran, America's unelected, corporate-funded policy makers have already announced their long, foregone conclusion. The DEA's entrap -ment case is decidedly to be used as a pretext for war with Iran. The Foreign Policy Institute (FPI) just one such elected, corporate-funded think tank, has released two statements calling on Obama to use force against Iran. FPI director William Kristol states: "It's long since been time for the United States to speak to this regime in the language it understands - force. And now we have an engraved invitation to do so. The plot to kill the Saudi ambassador was a lemon. Statesmanship involves turning lemons into lemonade. So we can stop talking. Instead, we can follow the rat lines in Iraq and Afghanistan back to their sources, and destroy them. We can strike at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and weaken them. And we can hit the regime's nuclear weapons program, and set it back." Likewise, FPI's executive director Jamie Fly claims, in tandem with Kristol's unqualified, corporate-funded opinion, "It's time to take military action against the Iranian government elements that support terrorism and its nuclear program. More diplomacy is not an adequate response." Know your enemy. It is not turban-wearing cave dwellers that threaten America. It is unelected, corporate policy pimps like those lurking in the halls of the Foreign Policy Initiative. They seek to mislead Americans into supporting an agenda that literally bleeds them to death, while they and their corporate-financier sponsors continue to consolidate both wealth and power on a global scale.
