Tony Cartalucci: Withdrawal of Troops From Iraq HIGHLY Suspect!!

Think-tank designs for Iran leave only Israeli attack & coaxed provocation for total war on the table: For ten months the "Obama" administration has presided over the "Arab Spring,"a geo -political gambit years in the making, and executed simultaneously in multiple nations throughout the Middle East and North Africa in the beginning of 2011. The regional conflagration was stoked by a steady stream of first, denial, even feigned surprise, with covert support for US-backed opposition groups, then more overt support, and finally NATO airstrikes, weapons and support sent to Syria's militants. These collective efforts stretching from Tunisia, and leading up to Iran's doorstep serve a singular agenda, that is, to contain and ultimately overturn the reemergence of Russia as well as containing the rise of China. Integral to this stated agenda is the toppling of Iran's government, and its integration into the Wall Street-London "international order." Efforts to topple Syria's government by US-backed, and now apparently armed opposition groups aim to isolate and even provoke the Islamic Republic into a suitable justification for US or Israeli (or both) retaliation. As reported extensively, the literal playbook from which these stratagems are drawn is the Fortune 500-funded Brookings Institution's "Which Path to Persia?" report. In it, it specifically states: "It would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be." Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it.
