Cheney, Neocons Considered Killing Americans in Pretext to Attack Iran

**dragonoverlord** · 08-02-2008 08:49 PM

According to Hersh, this meeting occurred after the neocons failed miserably to stage a rehashed version of the Gulf of Tonkin incident in the Strait of Hormuz, mostly because it is no longer 1964 and such Big Lies — thanks to the internet and bloggers — are far more difficult to float. “For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there,” quipped LBJ about the imaginary act of North Vietnamese boats supposedly attacking U.S. ships, leading to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and undeclared war in Southeast Asia, ultimately resulting in the death of nearly 60,000 Americans and around 3 million Southeast Asians.
In an exclusive Think Progress story, we learn the meeting took place in Cheney’s office and the subject on the table was “how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,” part of an ongoing effort to provide an excuse to attack Iran. “There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war,” Hersh explains. “The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.”

I'm speechless, the neocons never stop dreaming up ways to start wars, I don't think it will work this time around, or next time.

The neocons have failed.

Please, don't believe this

I have said it before, we don't need to do this to be able to start a war. Also, anything from Alex Jones has no credibility. :p

Well you're right in a way, they can start wars without excuses.

Why does jones have no credibility?

To me he has "some" left

A government not intending the best for its citizens? This cannot be!

What all this jibber-jabber about neo-con plans, conspiracy theory wacko's if you ask me. Next you're gonna tell me that 9/11 was an inside job, and aliens actually exist.

Insane wacko jibber-jabber. Sounds like either the big bang theory or a yellow belt move.

911 was done by the industrial military complex and Extraterrestrials are known to exist. Oh no I said just what you said I would say next! Because you didn't like it.

All this jibber-jabber about how conspiracy everyone is becomes the wacko behavior. A conspiracy nut under every rock and David Letterman conspiracy.

You know how you have a leak in the titanic and you can't stop the leak? That's peoples awareness your fighting now.
