November 15, 2007 (LPAC)--Extraordinary comments from leading Saudi figures were reported on in today's Le Figaro indicating that these figures, including Saudi Prince Bandar, know that an attack on Iran by the Cheney/Bush Administration is "on."  American leaders Lyndon LaRouche, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, and intelligence veteran Ray McGovern have all warned in recent days that such an attack can be prevented only by impeachment action against Vice President Cheney. LaRouche said in response today, "When an Iran War starts, Nancy Pelosi will be blamed, because that attack is unstoppable without impeachment against Cheney, and Pelosi has blocked impeachment action."

The headline reads, 'Riyadh Worried About an American Attack Against Iran', and the article begins with the kicker, " Fearing retaliation from Teheran on its oil installations, Saudi Arabia has made a rapprochement towards Moscow, whom the Iranians listen to in this nuclear crisis."

After having supported diplomacy, the Saudi officials seem, "resigned to the inevitability of the American war against Iran," writes Le Figaro's special envoy to Riyad.  “We are coming closer and closer to a confrontation," says Abdel Mohsen Hakas, the Saudi minister of social affairs.  Prince Bandar's right-hand man, Rihad Massoud states, "The tone of George Bush makes us think that he has decided what he wanted to do."

While the Saudi monarchy is officially opposed to a new conflict, it will tacitly support it if it ignites because they fear the growing Iranian influence, and especially because they fear the Iranians would retaliate against their oil installations. "If the Iranians want to hurt the U.S., they will seek to block our oil provision lines by attacking the terminal of Abqaia or the Ras Al Tannoura refinery." It is those fears which apparently have lead to the extreme prudence of Saudi diplomacy on Iran. Even though the French and the British are pressuring the Saudis to join their move for increased sanctions against Teheran, the Iranians are rather insisting on potentially successful outcomes of Russian mediation.

"But", says Rihad Massoud in a final thought, “"the Russians told us that the ambiance in Teheran reminded them strangely of the atmosphere in Baghdad in the months that preceded the 2003 war."
