Iran 96

We weten nu dat het Amerikaanse geweld in het Midden Oosten volstrekt illegaal was/is en niet gesteund wordt door de wereldgemeenschap in de VN. De terreur tegen Irak was en is in strijd met het internationaal recht. De dreigende aanval tegen Iran is eveneens in strijd met het internationaal recht. Desondanks lijkt de Europese Unie hieraan steun te gaan verlenen. Waarom nemen onze politici hiertegen geen stelling? En waarom accepteren wij dit?

'America ‘poised to strike at Iran’s nuclear sites’ from bases in Bulgaria and Romania.
Report suggest that ‘US defensive ring’ may be new front in war on terror.
By Gabriel Ronay

PRESIDENT BUSH is preparing to attack Iran'snuclearfacilities before the end of April and the US Air Force's new bases in Bulgaria and Romania would be used as back-up in the onslaught, according to an official report from Sofia.
"American forces could be using their two USAF bases in Bulgaria and one at Romania's Black Sea coast to launch an attack on Iran in April," the Bulgarian news agency Novinite said.
The Americanbuild-upalongthe BlackSea,coupled with the recent positioning of two US aircraftcarrier battle groups off the Straits of Hormuz, appears to indicate president Bush has run out of patience with Tehran's nuclear misrepresentation and non-compliance with the UN Security Council's resolution. President Ahmeninejad of Iran has further ratcheted up tension in the region by putting on show his newly purchased state of the art Russian TOR-Ml anti-missile defence system.
Whether the Bulgarian news report is a tactical feint or a strategic event is hard to gauge at this stage. But, in conjunction with the beefing up of America's Italian bases and the acquisition of anti-missile defence bases in the Czech Republic and Poland,the Balkan developments seem toindicateanewphase in Bush's global war on terror.
Sofia'snewsofadvancedwar preparationsalongtheBlackSeais backed up by some chilling details. One isthesettingupofnewrefuellingplaces for US Stealth bombers, which would spearhead an attack on Iran. "The USAF's positioning of vital refuelling facilities for its B-2 bombers in unusual places, includingBulgaria,fallswithinthe perspective of such an attack." Novinite named colonel Sam Gardiner, "a US secret service officer stationed in Bulgaria", as the source of this revelation.
Curiously,the report noted that although Tony Blair, Bush's main ally in the global war on terror, would be leaving office, the president had opted to press on with his attack on Iran in April.
Before the end of March,3000 US military personnel are scheduled to arrive "on a rotating basis" at America's Bulgarian bases. Under the US-Bulgarian military co-operation accord, signed in April,2006,anairbaseatBezmer, a second airfield at Graf Ignitievo and a shooting range at Novo Selo were leased toAmerica.Significantly,lastyear'sbases negotiations had at one point run into difficulties due to Sofia's demand "for advance warning if Washington intends to use Bulgarian soil for attacks against other nations particularly Iran".
