Talk of Imminent War Against Iran Amid anAttack of 'Coincidences'By Len Hart 

The "coincidences":

• A series of internet disruptions due to cuttelecom cables that has cut Iran off theInternet!

• Israel is not affected.

• An Iranian Oil Bourse, where oil, petrochemicalsand gas will be traded in various non-dollarcurrencies, is set to open this month.

• Israelis have been told to prepare for war,presumably with Iran

Before leaving the Middle East, Bush is reported tohave promised Benjamin Netanyahu that the US wouldjoin Israel in a nuclear strike on Iran. In Israel, there istalk of a "...a rain of missiles" for which Israelis mustprepare now.

Speaking on radio as part of a military propaganda offensive, retiredgeneral Udi Shani said: "The next war will see a massive use of ballisticweapons against the whole of Israeli territory."

Shani was tasked recently with drawing up a report on the way the militaryauthorities operated during Israel's 2006 summer war against Hezbollah inLebanon.

During that conflict thousands of rockets hit Israel, but were limited to thenorth of the country from where hundreds of thousands of people wereevacuated.

The character of war has changed, said the general.

"Strikes to the rear must now be taken into account -- that is what will

come and we must prepare in a totally different way for this eventuality,"he said.

--Israelis told to prepare 'rocket rooms' for war

By the time the following dispatch hit what was left of the internet, it was clear: theworld is under attack by organized coincidences:

DOHA (AFP) - An undersea telecoms cable linking Qatar to the United ArabEmirates was damaged, disrupting services, telecommunications providerQtel said on Sunday, the latest such incident in less than a week.

The cable was damaged between the Qatari island of Haloul and the UAEisland of Das on Friday, Qtel's head of communications Adel al Mutawatold AFP.

Cables were also damaged last week in the Mediterranean and off thecoast of Dubai, causing widespread disruption to Internet and internationaltelephone services in Egypt, Gulf Arab states and south Asia.

The cause of the damage is not yet known.

--DOHA (AFP) - Qatar reports new damage to Gulf undersea cables

It is amazing how much damage can be done by a rogue coincidence.

A repair ship was expected to begin work to fix the two cables in theMediterranean Sea on Tuesday. They were damaged on Wednesday,rupturing connections not only in Egypt but also thousands of kilometresaway.--Qatar reports new damage to Gulf undersea cables

The sub-plot that ties all these "coincidences" together is the planned opening of theIranian oil bourse where petrochemicals, oil and gas will be traded in non-dollar

currencies. Iran Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari has said that the bourse will beopen during the Ten-Day Dawn, ceremonies marking thevictory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. There's moreat: Oil Bourse 

Making these developments especially ominous are Bush'srepeated threats and promises to Israel that he will join anuclear attack on Iran. I wonder if this improbable attack of the cable killing coincidences, denying oil traders access tothe net, is enough to delay the opening of Iran's planned oilbourse.

Given the precipitous fall of the dollar, only idiots will notconsider the effect that an Iranian oil bourse will have on awar-mongering US.

Bush, of course, denies that his wars of aggression have anything to do with oil and, in avery, very narrow technical sense, perhaps not! They are, in fact, motivated by the factthat over the course of a century, the US economy was utterly dependent upon theavailability of cheap energy, initially from West Texas, but later, the Sheikhs!

One wonders what goes on inside the heads of blithering idiots, primarily those whowage war upon their own people, those idiots who threaten the world from atop aprecarious perch. So precarious the American position --one wonders if impeaching andremoving this blithering idiot now is simply too little too late. Even now, however, goodpeople are morally bound to oppose Bush even if it is with a dying breath beneath amushroom cloud!
