September 16, 2007 (LPAC)--The weekend British press, from the Fabian Sunday Observer to the neoconservative Sunday Telegraph, and yellow press baron Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times, celebrated the arrival of autumn weather by peddling new wars across Southwest Asia: An American bombing of Iran's alleged nuclear weapons sites, and Israeli attacks on both Syria and Iran, to prevent a major swing in the nuclear balance of power in the region. The propaganda pouring out of the London media in support of Vice President Dick Cheney and his Washington war party, ran in perfect synch with Murdoch's American flagship poop dispenser, Fox TV, which peddled all-day disinformation about Syria's secret nuclear weapons caches (courtesy of North Korea) and Iran's terror operations inside Iraq.

The headlines in the Sunday British press told the tale in vivid color. From the Sunday Times: "Israelis' Blew Apart Syrian Nuclear Cache'—Secret Raid on Korean Shipment." From the Sunday Telegraph: "Bush setting America up for war with Iran," and "Move Troops to Iran border, Brown told." From the Sunday Observer: "Was Israeli raid a dry run for attack on Iran?" and "Time is running out to avert war with Iran."

The most lurid assertion of boldfaced war disinformation came from the Sunday Telegraph's Philip Sherwell and Tim Shipman, who claimed that the Pentagon has set 2,000 bombing targets in Iran, that Vice President Dick Cheney has insisted that the U.S. use nuclear bunker buster bombs to take out Iranian nuclear weapons sites, and that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has decided to throw in the towel and go along with Cheney's dizzy war schemes. To quote Sherwell and Shipman: "Miss Rice's bottom line is that if the administration is to go to war again, it must build the case over a period of months and win sufficient support on Capitol Hill. The Sunday Telegraph has been told that Mr. Bush has privately promised her that he would consult 'meaningfully' with Congressional leaders of both parties before any military action against Iran on the understanding that Miss Rice would resign if this did not happen."

Murdoch's Sunday Times also continued to peddle radioactive poop, claiming that Syria had secretly obtained a nuclear weapon from North Korea, on a recently-arrived ship, supposedly delivering cement. The possible uses of the nuclear bomb? According to the Sunday Times fabricators, the Syrians could have been stashing the bombs for North Korea, which has promised to dismantle its nuclear program; or planning to use the nuke on a North Korean-made Scud-C missile to obliterate the Jewish state; or pass it on to Iran or even the Hezbollah.
