Clawson: need a false flag operation to justify a war against Iran

Perhaps its the amatuer psychologist in me, but the following statement by Patrick Clawson of the pro-Israeli WINEP think tank quite telling:

"It's a lot better to have a fight" that Iran provokes, Clawson replied, before adding: "Better to enter World War II after Pearl Harbor, and World War I after the sinking of the Lusitania."

This was his reponse to a question about why the sanctions on Iran's nuclear program has not thus far succeeded. He's not even making an attempt to hide the fact that they're using the nuclear issue as a pretext to launch a war.They're just hoping for a way to blame it on Iran.

I like this Maloney quote:

Washington's "embrace of open-ended pressure means" the United States has effectively backed itself into a dead-end "policy of regime change," Maloney continued.

That's not accidental, Suzanne. That was the plan all along. That's why Clawson leaves out a third option: engagement
