Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Monday that the United States feared Iran was drifting toward a military dictatorship, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps seizing control of large swaths of Iran’s political, military, and economic establishment.
It looks more and more like the stage is being set for a military attack on Iran. This will not be pretty.
Here's what fascinating about that foreign policy goggledegook. The US military--Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Army--totally and completely surrounds Iran, from our positions and bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and the Saudi peninsula. And then we have the gall to talk about 'defending ourselves'?“We will always defend ourselves, and we will always defend our friends and allies, and we will certainly defend countries who are in the Gulf who face the greatest immediate nearby threat from Iran,” she said. “We also are talking at length with a lot of our friends in the Gulf about what they need defensively in the event that Iran pursues its nuclear ambitions.”
How crazy is that. It shows how totally distorted our foreign policy has become. Not a republic but an empire.
