Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 8, 2008

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has described an alleged recent meeting in the Vice President?s office to discuss ?a dozen ideas ? about how to trigger a war? with Iran.

?The one that interested me the most [Hersh continued] was [the suggestion that the US military] build ? boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.? After all, ?if you get the right incident, the American public will support? military retaliation.

Far-fetched as this might seem, we should recall that n a January 2003 meeting with then-British Prime Minister Tony Blairi, George Bush suggested that the US could goad Saddam into firing on a U2 reconnaissance plane in order to justify war with Iraq.

Were our rulers genuinely seeking to defend our nation, they wouldn?t be devising pretexts for unnecessary wars.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
