Entry: Pulling the Trigger on Iran Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pulling_the_trigger_on_iran#980 Post contents: While this is the scenario that Bush and Cheney would like - especially that last part about their revenge being complete - the reality is that Iran will counterattack in Iraq along with their Shia allies, as well as probably activating Hizballah and other groups against Israel. The US will lose its entire army in Iraq as the Shia militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards cut the US supply lines. Thirty days later, the US forces, out of food, water, ammo and fuel, will be forced to evacuate Iraq under fire. The price of oil will jump to at least $150 per barrel as the Iranans cut the Straits of Hormuz off from oil shipping and bombard the oil depots and shipping points of those Gulf States who allow the US to operate from their territory. The US economy will evaporate as China, irritated at losing Iranian energy sources, dumps the US dollar. Terrorist groups will start blowing themselves and car bombs up in New York Times Square at rush hour (the US is MADE for car bombings!) The US will attempt a land invasion of Iran in order to seize the Khuzestan oil province (the real target of all this), and the Iranians will employ the "Vietnam strategy" - as updated by Hizballah last summer - and bleed the US to death militarily, economically and geopolitically for the next ten years. Ten years from now Bush and Cheney will be tried by the international courts for war crimes and imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives. Unfortunately that won't do the rest of you any good since the damage will have been done. Sent at: 2008 07 06
