Bombshell from London
Posted by seumasach on September 16, 2010
This looks like an outbreak of realism amongst the British elite but for the continued demonization of Iran who would be central to any resolution of the situation in Afghanistan. This could be interpreted as follows: they know the game is up in Afghanistan but they can’t do without an enemy, namely Iran and the “Islamic threat” in general. This ties in with the deployment of the imbecile Blair to hype the Iranian threat. So the message is that we have to withdraw from Afghanistan because we’re losing but the war against terror, i.e. Iran goes on. It remains to be seen whether they are mad enough to attack Iran: in all probability their bark is worse than their bite.
