"The neocons think that by bombing Iran the US will provoke Iran to arm the Shiite militias in Iraq," writes Paul Craig Roberts for Lew Rockwell. That would "destroy the US military edge, leaving divided and isolated US forces subject to being cut off from supplies and retreat routes. With America on the verge of losing most of its troops in Iraq, the cry would go up to 'save the troops' by nuking Iran." Don't put it past 'em. |
