America Drops Atomic Bomb on Iran (almost)

Brent Scowcroft, former general and National Security Advisor to President's Ford and Bush (and serving in the White House as far back as Nixon) and Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter and wanna-be successor to
Kissinger as America's foremost foreign policy expert, have (almost) dropped the

BOMB on Iran.

In a startling and shocking move, Scowcroft and Brzezinski, acting as an indirect
protocol for President Obama, announce to the world and Iran, that Israel is now under America's nuclear umbrella. In a bold move to counter Iran and the prospect that a nuclear first strike by Iran would wipe out Israel, thereby negating any retaliatory action against Iran, America is making clear that indeed a retaliatory nuclear strike on Iran would take place by the United States. Clearly this move is intended to block Iran and any notions it had of using a first strike against Israel which without American retaliation, would leave Iran otherwise unharmed by such a move against Israel.

Reported in today's press

WASHINGTON —" The United States should extend its nuclear umbrella to its Middle East allies and offer enriched civilian-use uranium to Iran and other countries in the region to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, two respected former presidential national-security advisors told senators Thursday.
Brzezinski suggested that before any serious discussions with Tehran , the United States should say that it's prepared to extend its nuclear umbrella to friends and allies in the Middle East ."

It's well known that both Brzezinski and Scowcroft are strong and early supporters of Obama and have been closely advising him since early on in the elections last year. The weight of both these men add legitimacy and credibility to this new major policy move by the United States. It is a clever move by Obama because using Scowcroft and Brzezinski as a "secondary protocol" it allows this bold counter-move by the US to be announced without a presidential directive, order or vetting through the State Department or Congress. It is also a policy which, being delivered via secondary protocol, can be denied distanced or denied by the White House, if Obama wishes so. However, Iran will clearly get the message of the new strategic stance of the US vis-a-vis Israel and this move might be enough to halt Iran in its tracks in regards to its nuclear first strike plans against Israel. This bold stroke is also intended to forestall an impending Israeli attack on Iran by extending the US nuclear umbrella to Iran has America has done for Japan, South Korea and other allies.

It should also be noted that both Scowcroft and Brzezinski are prominent members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council for Foreign Relations, thereby further emboldening their statements by virtue of the de facto approval of America's two most powerful foreign policy entities outside the White House.
