Evidence of War Lies Pre-War This Time!!

When President George W Bush was pretending to avoid a war on Iraq, while constantly pushing laughably bad propaganda to get the war going, we had a feeling he was lying. After all. he was a Republican, but it was after the war was raging that we came on things like the Downing Street Minutes and the White House Memo. Now President Barack Obama is pretending to want to avoid a war on Iran and to want Israel not to start one, while constantly pushing laughably bad propaganda to get that war going. We might suspect a lack of sincerity, given the insistence that Iran put an end to a program that the US government simultaneously says there is no evidence exists, given the increase in free weapons for Israel to $3.1 billion next year, given the ongoing protection of Israel at the UN from any accountability for crimes, given the embrace of sanctions highly unlikely to anything other than greater prospects of war, and given Obama's refusal to take openly illegal war "off the table." We might suspect that peace was not the ultimate goal, except of course, that Obama is a Democrat. However, we now have Wikileaks cables and comments from anonymous officials that served as the basis for a report from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested that the United States approve the sale of advanced refueling aircraft, as well as GBU-28 bunker-piercing bombs to Israel during a recent meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a top US official said on Tuesday." The American official said that US President Barack Obama instructed Panetta to work directly with Defense Minister Ehud Barack on the matter."
