Good God! They’re at it again. Poking their stupid fat noses into other people’s business, when they haven’t the commonsense or ability to sort out their own country’s problems.

Yes – I’m talking about America in general, and the US Congress in particular.

The United States Congress has recently passed a resolution calling on Japan to apologize for the country’s use of sex slaves during World War II. No American women were involved. They were mainly Chinese, Korean, Philippine and Indonesian captives.

Why doesn’t America learn to mind its own damn business?

Perhaps the rest of the world should pass a resolution calling on the United States to apologize for the war crimes committed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

While NBC Nightly News was prattling on tonight about “new wars in Iraq” and how well Americans care for their aging parents – oh, and don’t forget the “significant new findings on heart attacks in women” that turned out to be just a rehash of factors already known and well publicized – they completely forgot to inform Americans that their government has now finalized battle plans for the attack on Iran.

Fortunately, the BBC was able to broadcast the details to the rest of the world half an hour before NBC Nightly News came on air.

A US assault on Iran could be triggered, the BBC has learned, by any perceived nuclear threat from Iran, or a major attack on US forces in Iraq that could be traced back to Tehran. Strikes would not be limited to the country’s nuclear facilities, but would include most of its military infrastructure.

There are already thirty US warships stationed in the Gulf region and a second carrier group is on its way.

According to the BBC report:

“The US insists it is not planning to attack, and is trying to persuade Tehran to stop uranium enrichment. The UN has urged Iran to stop the programme or face economic sanctions. But diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran.”

All now required is for the President of the United States to give the word.

But, we all know peace-loving, caring, born-again Christian, George W Bush would never do that.

Don’t we?

Perhaps, after all, NBC just didn’t want Americans to know?

As a postscript, the BBC reporter on the video is Frank Gardner, who was shot six times while reporting from a suburb of Riyadh, Saudia Arabia in 2004. His cameraman was killed in the attack. One of the bullets pierced Gardner’s spine rendering him paralyzed from the waist down.

There’s a new war in Iraq, according to NBC. Tonight Brian Williams and Richard Engel – NBC’s “man in Iraq” – agreed it was a whole new war.

They should try telling that to the Iraqis.

This new war has come about because Sunni insurgents (colloquially referred to as “Al Qaeda”) have begun targeting American soldiers whose commanders have, in their wisdom, decided to barrack in Iraqi police stations. Today, two suicide car bombers blew their vehicles up outside one such establishment, killing two Americans and wounding seventeen others.

Perhaps Admiral Fallon and General Petraeus might have considered the possibility of such an occurrence, given that Iraqi police stations have long been popular targets of suicide bombers. It might also have occurred to them that insurgents suppressed by US troop levels in Baghdad could possibility shift their theater of operations to other areas.

After all, it’s what insurgents do. It’s called guerrilla warfare. Isn’t General Petraeus America’s foremost expert on guerrilla warfare?

This latest incident occurred in Tarmiya, a small Arab Sunni town about twenty-five miles north of Baghdad.

It is not a new war, at all. It’s a four year old war that will get a great deal older and bloodier before it is through.
