Dear World Can't Wait Supporter,
The following made Headlines in the Guardian UK on Monday July 16, but not in the US:
Cheney pushes Bush to act on Iran
"The balance in the internal White House debate over Iran has shifted back in favour of military action before President George Bush leaves office in 18 months, the Guardian has learned.
The shift follows an internal review involving the White House, the Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although the Bush administration is in deep trouble over Iraq, it remains focused on Iran. A well-placed source in Washington said: "Bush is not going to leave office with Iran still in limbo."
As I travel around the country, people I’ve spoken with have been at turns unaware of the Bush regime’s open plans to attack Iran, with some sure that it would not happen because of Bush’s difficulties in Iraq. Bush is telling us his plans; he is unconcerned with the public’s opinions, with the votes of Congress. I think he’s telling us what he will do if he’s not removed from office, and that direction rebuked.
This fall, developments in Iraq and preparations for war on Iran are likely to come to a head. Making Declare Yourself! Wear Orange go viral before then, together with the sharp and intensifying developments of the Bush program, can give rise to the situation where people make a stand against what’s intolerable, and began to see themselves as an independent political force.
Sincerely,
Debra Sweet, Director, The World Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime
