Making An Iranian Sandwich

I read an interesting article in USA Today. In the article, the newly appointed Secretary of Defense tours Afghanistan, and he spoke with several members of the American military leadership who are now stationed in that country. According to Mr. Gates, the Generals are requesting additional troops to help counter a Taliban uprising. Problem is, no one has witnessed such an uprising, nor do they have any clear indication that an uprising is looming on the horizon. At best, they can only speculate. Regardless, Mr. Gates is making his case for an increase in troop strength in Afghanistan. Perhaps, fielding the argument that an increase in troop strength will help us find Osama Bin Laden faster.

Now, I could not help but to noticed just how quickly this announcement came on the heels of the President's decision to increase the troop strength in Iraq. The President's argument is that it will allow us to stabilize Iraq and have our troops home by November. I honestly hope you are not holding your breath for that event to happen.

In case you are stuck in the slow lane, or perhaps had experience in riding the short bus, Bin Laden has not been visible for more than 3 years now. Although it may be likely that he is still alive, his Taliban force is no more credible and a group of Boy Scouts attempting to defeat Godzilla. In a nut shell, if we do not have Osama in custody yet, then we are merely spinning our wheels. Oh? You doubt that assessment? Ok, allow me to introduce another more credible theory. Osama Bin Laden was never a target for us in Afghanistan, he is an excuse. The White House is using Osama Bin Laden as an excuse to keep US forces in Afghanistan, and to provide justification for an increase in our troop strength.

G. W. Bush has America so convinced that we are going to catch the man who attacked us in 2001, that most of us have become blind to the truth. The real target in Afghanistan is not Osama Bin Laden, just as the real target in Iraq was not Saddam Hussein. The real target is Iran, and if you do not believe me, look at your map of that region.
Bush knew that if Saddam Hussein was executed that the resistance in Iraq would escalate to the point that we (America) would be "Forced" to send additional troops to help stabilize the country. Further, Bush is now painting a picture of no confidence in the ability of the puppet Iraqi Government to effectively police the nation. Bush's solution? Pump 21,000 extra US fighting men and women into that country. Let's stop there for a brief moment, and look at this decision from an alternate perspective.

When we consider the Iraqi insurgency, we notice that we are dealing with poorly or untrained people who just want the outsiders to leave their country. They are not well equipped and to be honest, this insurgency is but a fly on the neck of the American Giant. In a sense, it is like the Klu Klux Klan going toe to toe with LA Police Department; it simply is not any kind of a contest. With that thought in mind, 21,000 additional troops is like taking an ocean to extinguish a match. So what will these extra troops be used for?

How many of you enjoy sandwiches? You do know how to make a sandwich, right? You take two slices of bread, and put something in between and boy oh boy, if that ain't some good eating. People, G. W. Bush and his hired group of thugs have their eyes set on making an Iranian Sandwich. This is not too difficult to do, all it takes in one slice of Iraq, one slice of Afghanistan, and Iran in the middle. Here is how the scenario is going to play out:

1. American troops are deployed to bolster the forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. The additional forces in Iraq will simulate engaging the Arab Insurgency, while the forces in Afghanistan will continue to hunt for Bin Laden.
3. G. W. Bush and crew will continue to slander the nation of Iran with trumped up lies about alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction.
4. US Intelligence will indicate that Osama Bin Laden has been located and that he is being hidden inside of Iran.
5. G. W. Bush will plead to the United Nations for a resolution to have Iran surrender Osama Bin Laden, and cease their nuclear ambitions.
6. Iran will insist that they do not have Osama, and that their nuclear program is strictly for energy purposes only.
7. As a precaution, G. W. Bush will order forces in Iraq to head to the Iranian border to prevent the possible escape of Osama Bin Laden, and to safeguard again a possible Iranian surge into Iraq.
8. B-52 and B-1 bombers will be ordered to Diego Garcia, and the 6th and 7th Fleets will deploy additional carrier battle group assets into the region.
9. The time limit for the resolution will expire, and G. W. Bush will order a full assault on the Iranian nuclear facilities, followed by an invasion of the country of Iran.
10. This will all take place within the next 3 to 7 months.

Now, it may not happen in that order, but let's be realistic here; there is simply no other justifiable reason for the United States to commit additional troops into either country. Bush merely wants an Iranian sandwich, and he is willing to get it at all cost. The Bible indicates in these times the Anti-Christ will walk amongst us. I am here to say that not only has he been walking amongst us, but he has been calling the shots from the throne of the world’s only remaining superpower. Those who continue to follow Bush will follow him right into Hell, for that is where he is leading our country.
