Urgent Letter from Dennis Kucinich about Bush Administration Plans for a US War vs. Iran

Dear Friends,

The Bush Administration is preparing for war against Iran, using an almost identical drumbeat of weapons of mass destruction, imminent threat, alleged links to Al Queda, and even linking Iran with a future 911.

In the past few months reports have been published in Newsweek, ABC News and GQ Magazine that indicate the US is recruiting members of paramilitary groups to destabilize Iran through violence. The New Yorker magazine and the Guardian have written that US has already deployed military inside Iran. The latest issue of Time writes of plans for a naval blockade of Iran at the Port of Hormuz, through which 40% of the world’s oil supply passes. Other news reports have claimed that an air strike, using a variety of bombs including bunker busters to be dropped on over 1,000 targets, including nuclear facilities. This could obviously result in a great long term humanitarian and environmental disaster.

Earlier this year, I demanded congressional hearings on Iran and was able to secure the promise of a classified briefing from the Department of Defense, the State Department and the CIA. When the briefing was held, the Department of Defense and the State Department refused to show and are continuing to block any congressional inquiry into plans to attack Iran.

Just this past week, the International Atomic Energy Agency called “erroneous, misleading and unsubstantiated” statements relating to Iran’s nuclear program which came from a staff report of the House Intelligence committee. Other intelligence officials have claimed over a dozen distortions in the report which, among other things, said Iran is producing weapons grade uranium. The Washington Post wrote: “The IAEA called that ‘incorrect’ noting that weapons grade uranium is enriched to a level of 90 percent or more. Iran has enriched uranium to 3.5% under IAEA monitoring.”

3. Again - using money from other things to plan an invasion is illegal.

The invasion of Iraq started at $1 billion a week and was things improved the price tag went to $2 billion. Can you imagine how much an invasion of Iran will cost? And the number of people killed? And maybe even get us in a war with Russia and China? How stupid is our gov't? How stupid are the American people?

Scott Ritter said * is going to do it. A Democratic takeover in November will slow it down. Maybe even stop it but not likely. So many of our representatives should be arrested and jailed in that country club Gimo for treason. This is all so unblieveable.

4. Let the world know, this is a Republican attack - it is not a

an attack by the people of the U.S. A stand alone plolitical corporate military religouus attack is being planned that will affect all of us drastically and horribly and the Republicans are excited and can't wait and ust plow ahead.

Who is going to stop them?

7. I'm afraid

the world may not differentiate and may see apathetic American political consumers as complicit in their silence and inability to act directly to stop their government from committing wholesale slaughter as guily participants.

There's a track record here.

9. That's the smartest comment I have ever heard

Seriously. This government has been hijacked by a core group of imperialists, fascists, whatever you want to call them, but they do not represent America or it's character. Labeling this as what it is, a REPUBLICAN attack on Iran, and Iraq, and wherever they choose to rain death and destruction, is only telling the TRUTH.
