Netanyahu Accuses Iran Of Being Behind Bulgarian Bus Explosion, Promises "Strong Response"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The number of casualties in the Bulgarian bus explosion (reported earlier) is not even known yet, but Israel already knows just who is behind it:

  • ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER SAYS SIGNS THAT IRAN BEHIND BURGAS BOMBING -RTRS
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "Iran is responsible for the terror attack in Bulgaria, we will have a strong response against Iranian terror." - Haaretz

Elsewhere:

  • CARNEY SAYS OBAMA BRIEFED ON BULGARIA BLAST THAT HIT ISRAELIS
  • CARNEY SAYS US NOT IN POSITION TO SAY WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUS ATTACK

And here we were wondering why crude spiked above $90 for the first time in months earlier today.

Look into odigo archives while you're at it.

when it comes to bombs, planes, etc exploding our politicians seem to always know who is behind it.  when it comes to corruption, mass theft, price fixing etc our politicians are always shocked to find out it was going on and have no idea who did it.

If you're going to make stuff up, at least try to make it believable. The US embassy in Iran was operational for most of 1979, even after the overthrow of the shah.

There's also the IAEA inspectors there.

Unless you know who supplied the credentials for the bomber, you wouldn’t be able to identify his country of origin -  which suggests the question: How would you know the credentials unless you supplied them?

The state of Israel is trapped in a crisis of credibility that it created and it has only one friend left: not the American people but the people who control the American government. Today’s example of this is that the United Nations’ proposed sanctions against Syria was not fast enough so the American government goes even further with sanctions of its own.  If the world won’t do Israel’s bidding, only Israeli foreign policy carried out by the U.S. is left.

Philip Giraldi in his July 5 Antiwar.com column, America Adopts the Israel Paradigm, says: “Israel has not only shaped America’s perceptions, it has also supported policies both overseas and domestically that have fundamentally shifted how the United States sees itself and how the rest of the world sees the United States. This is most evident in failed national security policies, damaging interactions with the Muslim world, and the loss of basic liberties at home because of legislation like the PATRIOT Act. Israel and its powerful lobby have been instrumental in entangling Washington in a constant state of war overseas while at the same time planting the seeds for a national security state at home. In short, the end product of the relationship is that the United States has abandoned many liberties, constitutional restraints, and its rule of law to become more like Israel.”

At the same time, Giraldi in this comprehensive essay on Israeli/US relations points out that “Jeff Stein cites a poll of CIA officers (in 2010) that ranked Israel ‘dead last’ among friendly countries in intelligence cooperation with Washington.”

You guys must have missed the Iran attacks in India and Thailand recently. This one in Bulgaria is not isolated incident. You can put those conspiracy hats back in the closet.

"All the signs lead to Iran. Only in the past few months we have seen Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places," Netanyahu said in a statement.

Do you really think they would go trough the trouble of faking all these attacks?

Iran is sponsoring Hezbollah who fires rockets into Israel on daily basis.

The amount of hatred put forth on this otherwise intelligent and often intellectual forum is indeed disturbing. Espousing beliefs as 'truth' IS the rhetoric of the war makers. Unfortunately, belief is often not based in truth. Rather, belief is based on complex emotions and selective filtering of information. All of us are aware of our lack of control over the events unfolding. Hate speak and group think are not the answers and should be condemned by those of higher education levels and intellect.

It would seem illogical to me to blame any one group as the source of our problems or problems in the region as a whole. Particularly when that group represents a miniscule fraction of a percentage point of the worlds population. Injustice is not a jewish phenomenon - it is a human phenomenon in a world with finite resources and growing population.

Branding the criticism of a foreign influence taking over one’s country as hate speech is not an American language characteristic.

I am glad that you favor the use of truth; for if you are an American as I am, we both need to agree that the truth is that the tiny, tiny percentage of Jewish people in the world has produced the most powerful and effective Fifth Column warriors the world has ever known.

They have produced a legion of American politicians who have forsaken their country to serve the singular interests of the Israeli state; and those interests are inhumane, vicious and expansionist beyond belief. And when the Israeli head of state addresses our Congress in a joint session, a rare occasion, and receives more adulation than Stalin before a large district Party conference, you are way, way out of line when you call the accusations that are written here as hate speech.

D. Rumsfeld:

Private media does not get up in the morning and say what can we do to promote the values and ideas that the free Western nations believe in? It gets up in the morning and says they’re going to try to make money by selling whatever they sell… The way they decided to do that is to be dramatic and if it bleeds it leads is the common statement in the media today. They’ve got their job, and they have to do that, and that’s what they do.

We need someone in the United States government, some entity, not like the old USIA . . . I think this agency, a new agency has to be something that would take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that exist today. There are multiple channels for information . . . The Internet is there, blogs are there, talk radio is there, e-mails are there. There are all kinds of opportunities. We do not with any systematic organized way attempt to engage the battle of ideas and talk about the idea of beheading, and what it’s about and what it means. And talk about the fact that people are killing more Muslims than they are non-Muslims, these extremists. They’re doing it with suicide bombs and the like. We need to engage and not simply be passive and allow that battle of competition of ideas.

 

You think what you know is truth, is really truth?

Always, always follow the money and ask : Qui Bono?
