August 27, 2008 (LPAC)--American statesman Lyndon LaRouche today commented on remarks made by Russian General Leonid Ivashov at an Aug. 27 RIA Novosti press conference, where the senior Russian military analyst described the Georgian attack on South Ossetia as a NATO "rehearsal for an attack on Iran."
"In a sense, what Gen. Ivashov is saying is true, but saying it's against Iran, is a mistake," LaRouche noted. "We're looking at the edge of thermonuclear World War III. It doesn't mean it's going to happen that way, but we're on the edge of it now. Gen. Ivashov doesn't understand that we're in a situation where, from the British on down, and their U.S. stooges, are making decisions like those made on going to the Tet Offensive by the U.S. forces in 1968. The forces under the British command, which means a lot of the United States forces, which means the Democratic Party candidacy of Barack Obama, and the present state of mind of the candidacy of John McCain, are both locked in the same kind of mentality that characterized Robert McNamara and General William Westmoreland on the eve of the Tet Offensive. Only this time," LaRouche stated, "the threat has thermonuclear implications."
