WHY AMERICA WILL NOT ATTACK IRAN

Patrick Buchanan: Bibi gets his war on

Target: Tehran.

And Obama may just have boxed himself in.

In return for Bibi's willingness to talk to the Palestinians, Obama agreed to a December deadline for progress in talks with Iran. If the talks are not fruitful by then, America will step on the escalator.

"I've been very clear that I don't take any options off the table with respect to Iran," said the president.

Bibi got what he came for.

By setting a six-month deadline, Obama has given an incentive to Israel, AIPAC, the neocons and even al-Qaida, which wants Shia Iran bombed back to the stone age, to provoke collisions with Iran, until December, then demand that Obama keep his word, suspend talks, impose severe sanctions and start us on the escalator to war.

And, already, the incidents are multiplying.

... Barack had best understand. The crowd manipulating him into war with Iran has in mind, first, obliterating Iran; second, getting rid of him.

The planned war on Iran is not Bibi's war, except inasmuch as Israel's interest in the overthrow of Iran's independent democratically elected regime happens to coincide with America's.

In fact, the assault on Iran will simply be the next stage in America's war of imperial expansion to be sold to Americans as a war of six million holocaust-surviving Jews fighting for their lives against an anti-Semitic Iranian horde under the leadership of the Holocaust-denying President Ahm-Mad-For-Jihad.

It's the kind of Hollywood-inspired self-congratulatory bullshit that Americans love.

Our Stevie Parrot Harper will love it too.
