Today marks the first day of spring as well as the first day of Persian New Year (year 1392). It also coincides with Obama’s trip to Israel and his meeting with Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. For the occasion of this meeting and the tenth anniversary of invasion of Iraq by US forces (of a few days ago), an article is published by Juan Cole in Informed Comments, stating with one other reason for the invasion, something that many of us never knew about. The article discloses many documents representing the involvements of Israeli government in persuading US to attack Iraq. One of these documents is a quotation from a news article published in Jerusalem Post on March 10, 2003: “…the foreign ministry has received reports from the US telling Israelis to cool their jets because ‘the US media’ is portraying Israel as ‘trying to goad the administration into war.’” Whether Israelis coaxed US government, the article endeavors to make a case in support of it. All we know is that the administration ultimately attacked Iraq under the pretense of “weapons of mass destruction”, which proved to be a lie. Coincidently, the same type of slander (as weapons of mass destruction) has been used, this time by the legislators instead of the administration. It is claimed that Assad used chemical weapons on the rebels. This is of course a prelude to a more direct training and arming Syrian rebels (who have been covertly supported and armed by the military in the past two years).
