Global Sentiment Builds to Attack Iran By: Arnaud De Borchgrave
There is no better illustration of the futility of the $1 trillion Iraq war than news photos of a long line of gasoline tankers lined up bumper to bumper as they leave Iraq to enter Iran...leave Iraq's defeated government unable to act.
The Iraq Study Group, led by Lee Hamilton, the prominent Democrat who heads the Woodrow Wilson International Center, and James Baker, whose Institute for Public Policy is at Houston's Rice University, warned in 2006 that Iran, now rid of erstwhile enemy Saddam Hussein, already was wielding more influence in Iraq than the United States...Officially, all the Arab rulers of the Persian Gulf and other Arab leaders strenuously oppose any Israeli or U.S. airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. But that opposition is eroding rapidly...The temptation for Obama to double down on Iran will grow rapidly as he concludes...recipe for success at the polls in November. ...the bombing of Iran may give Obama a three-front war — and a chance to retain both houses of Congress.***Finally, an argument that might appeal to Obama ( loyalty to allies and the security of the U.S. not being sufficient.)***
