America could lose its entire army in Iraq if it continues with plans to attack Iran, according to military expert William Lind.
The third and final act in the national tragedy that is the Bush administration may soon play itself out. The Okhrana reports increasing indications of “something big” happening between the election and Christmas. That could be the long-planned attack on Iran.An attack on Iran will not be an invasion with ground troops. We don’t have enough of those left to invade Ruritania.
It will be a “package” of air and missile strikes, by U.S. forces or Israel. If Israel does it, there is a possibility of nuclear weapons being employed. But Israel would prefer the U.S. to do the dirty work, and what Israel wants, Israel usually gets, at least in Washington.
The Democrats taking either or both Houses of Congress, if it happens, will not make any difference. They would rather have the Republicans start and lose another war than prevent a national disaster.
Politics comes first and the country second. Nor would they dare cross Israel.
Along with the disruption of oil supplies and its consequences to the world economy, Lind foresees the possibility of "military encirclement" which would be disastrous.
The danger arises because almost all of the vast quantities of supplies American armies need come into Iraq from one direction, up from Kuwait and other Gulf ports in the south.
If that supply line is cut, our forces may not have enough stuff, especially fuel, to get out of Iraq. American armies are incredibly fuel-thirsty, and though Iraq has vast oil reserves, it is short of refined oil products.
Unlike Guderian’s Panzer army on its way to the Channel coast in 1940, we could not just fuel up at local gas stations. There are two ways our supply lines from the south could be cut if we attack Iran.
The first is by Shiite militias including the Mahdi Army and the Badr Brigades, possibly supported by a general Shiite uprising and, of course, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (the same guys who trained Hezbollah so well).
The second danger is that regular Iranian Army divisions will roll into Iraq, cut our supply lines and attempt to pocket us in and around Baghdad. Washington relies on American air power to prevent this, but bad weather can shut most of that air power down.
If the U.S. were to lose the army it has in Iraq, to Iraqi militias, Iranian regular forces, or a combination of both (the most likely event), the world would change. It would be our Adrianople, our Rocroi, our Stalingrad.
American power and prestige would never recover. One of the few people who does see this danger is the doyenne of American foreign policy columnists, Georgie Anne Geyer.
In her column of October 28 in The Washington Times, she wrote,
"The worst has not, by any means, yet happened.
When I think of abandoning a battleground, I think of the 1850s, when thousands of Brits were trying to leave Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass and all were killed by tribesmen except one man, left to tell the story.
Our men and women are in isolated compounds, not easy even to retreat from, were that decision made.
Time is truly running out."
the military nightmare that might unfold with North Korea any day now and you have some pretty gruesome times ahead for America's armed forces.
Our men and women are sitting ducks while our corrupt politicians play chicken with their lives.
Afraid we're running dry on the Miller High Life....Ever heard of "Compulsory Draft" ? We're temporarily out of it, but I heard they were tryin' to reinstate a whole new tap for it, down at your friendly neighborhood selective service recruiting hole...Right around the corner, take a hard right, by the dawn's early light.
It's coming. I suggest all Americans (and hopefully not Canadians, but with Zionist Stephen Harper, who knows...) to prepare your survival skills.
That is stock up on food, clothing, fuel, supplies, heat/fire source, ammo? (in case they start coming for you and your family if you refuse the Draft), etc.
The Zionist Jews (White Ashkenazi Khazars) use the language of threat and force --- It's about time you return the "favor" using similar language ;)
Please, PLEASE don't be a stupid, ignorant sheep.

PS: By the way, QRS you need to add the awesome collection of links from the old site here.
But, may I suggest you organize it into CATEGORIES. This way, our readers can more easily decifer/access what they want when they need it.
Also, have daily recommended websites -- with a brief description about what each website offers. Say about 5 websites at a time is good.
If you need help with this, let me know. ;)
Thanks!
I've been fearing a draft would come for quite some time now. This could and probably will get ugly.
Do we need anymore evidence that these corrupt politicians and our government does not care a fig about American men and women in Iraq?
Is America and Israel so blinded to think to attack Iran when they couldn't defeat Hizbollah?
I swear it is mind boggling. But they say that arrogance blinds, and this is the case here.
I never believed though for one minute that the plans were not being made to bomb out Iran. Like Geyer said, the worst has yet to come.
But what I ask of Americans is not to allow them to force you to kill others and yourself.
Stand up people! If all of us make a stand no government can stop us, especially when our numbers our large.
If we allow them to draft us, then we can only blame ourselves.
I am a female and a Muslim, so I will probably not get drafted, but who can say for sure amid this madness that we call our government.
I can say now though that I will not be going if I do get a draft. There is no way I'm going to take part in murder, and that is the question to ask ourselves.
Are you prepared to murder innocent people for oil?
