Bernard Weiner: Things that go bump in my night

In the hour of the wolf, I am visited by a number of nightmarish political scenarios. No doubt, dear reader, you have your own scary visitations. Here are just ten of mine:

1. MOVING CLOSER TO IRAN WAR

That some major false-flag terrorist attack, perhaps arranged by our own black-op agencies, will be unloosed in a major American city -- maybe a dirty nuke, or some virulent toxin, or a bomb -- and the planted "evidence" will seem to lead back to Iran. CheneyBush, perhaps in coordination with Israel, will finally get their wished-for aerial assault on that country.

This could happen either very shortly or sometime before the November election. The buildup of U.S. forces in the region has proceeded apace in the past few months; the military preparations are much the same as just prior to Bush's "shock&awe" attack on Iraq five years ago. And the Saudis seem to be preparing for possible nuclear fallout from a U.S. attack on Iran's reactors. Not a good sign.

The result of a U.S. attack on Iran would be a spiraling rise in violence in the Greater Middle East, more hatred of America around the world, the dollar heading into the toilet, various holders of billions of U.S. notes calling them in, a possible economic embargo on essential resources coming to the U.S., the economy in ruins, the U.S. a pariah in international affairs.
