But this perspective is an Illusion: - the United States and NATO now escalating the hopeless and unwinnable Afghan war, and is preparing to send US and NATO forces on the ground to seize parts of Pakistan, a country which is almost 3 times more populous than Iran, and possesses a nuclear arsenal and the means to deliver it.

Victory in Iraq and the 2008 Election: If we really are facing a convergence on the future - if we'reclose enough to victory in Iraq that victory could now survive evenan Obama presidency - then John McCain may truly have lived up tohis mantra, losing an election while winning a war. But there's noreason why the party that has been solely responsible for settingour course in Iraq should suffer from the success of that endeavor.If McCain believes that he can make a responsible case that victoryreally is at hand, he should not hesitate to make it, and use it todrive home the point that with the nation still at war inAfghanistan and still threatened by radical Islamism in Iran andaround the globe, the man whose strategy for finishing the job inIraq should be trusted over the man who counseled retreat when itturned out we were one final surge from victory.

[Chrisy58's Weblog] Essay from James Petras: AIPAC’s entire agenda has been endorsed by the US Congress, the Executive and both parties, including a military blockade of Iran, harsher world sanctions against all global oil and gas corporations, banks and industries dealing with Iran, the immediate transfer of the most advanced missile and attack technology to Israel to facilitate an attack on Iran, and a substantial increase in yearly US military grants to Israel totaling an additional $30 billion dollars over the next decade. The top Israeli officials present, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Prime Minister Olmert took the opportunity to reiterate and re-affirm their will to use military power to force Iran to submit or face destruction, to standing ovations and wild cheering from the ecstatic AIPAC delegates, deriving delirious pleasure from these blood thirsty calls for US military and economic sacrifice!

[The Congress Blog] Iran Shows Its Cards: While there has been some improvement in the U.S. military’s counter-missile capability, one must never forget that in 1991 not a single Iraqi Scud missile was successfully interdicted by any aspect of American military action (airstrike, ground action or antiballistic missile), and in 2003 the U.S. military had mixed results against the far less capable Al-Samoud missiles.
