Thus Brzezinski opined that a US military attack on Iran would be an aggressive action, presented as though it were a defensive response to alleged Iranian provocations, and came close to suggesting, without explicitly stating as much, that the White House was capable of manufacturing or allowing a terrorist attack within the US to provide a casus belli for war.
It is self-evident that such testimony at an open congressional hearing from someone with decades of experience in the US foreign policy establishment and the closest ties to the military and intelligence apparatus is not only newsworthy, but of the most immense and grave import. Any objective and conscientious newspaper or news channel would consider it an obligation to inform the public of such a development.
Yet neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post carried so much as a news brief on Brzezinski’s testimony in their Friday editions. Nor did USA Today or the Wall Street Journal . All of these publications, of course, have well-staffed Washington bureaus and regularly cover congressional hearings—especially those dealing with such burning political questions as the war in Iraq.

This war will be no different. And they are already are on the path to war - make no mistake. There will be war with Iran. We can see the EXACT same things we saw before the Iraq war happening again. The release of information smearing Iran, implementing Iran in this or that, the nuclear pretext, their involvement in terror etc etc etc. We see the same corporate American media repeating the jingo and lies without question. We see the American politicians all pandering to the war machine and refusing to challenge what is about to happen - apart from a few like Republican Ron Paul of Texas for example.
It's a done deal. I'm glad I work from home, and my university is within a five minute drive. I'm planting a giant garden this year because when the war starts inflation is going to be a bitch. Oil and gas prices are going to make the 1970's oil shock seem like a mere tickle.
Bush is going to leave his legacy alright - possibly the idiot who starts WW III.
If the world doesn't go nuclear in this war, then there could be some mild side-benefits as odd as it is to say all things considered. But when the average Canadian cannot drive to work or heat their home, or no longer afford the price of food we should and can expect a nationalization and domestic pricing scheme for our own oil and gas - America and their corporate greed be damned.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.
