| Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging "terrorist" attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda? |
Thoughts?

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

| I have a better idea, its your topic, post your own thoughts and then we'll chat. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

They could come up with some non-existent threat (as they did with Iran, Iraq, and others), but I doubt that they'd get help from anyone to attack someone in the U.S., or even Americans on foreign soil.
They could get help attacking some foreign spot, but I think that would be difficult to keep quiet. |
I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
But it's alright-

You're an idiot.
Also I am an idiot for actually going to the site you indicated. I read this first line and that was as much as I needed to see.
| Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran. |

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

And, I am deemed a troll?
Anyways, is this probable or even possible?

Yes, because you are.

No, of course it is not probable.
Almost anything is possible.

Why would Paul Craig Roberts the "father of Reaganomics" and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration say such a thing?

Like I said I only read the first line in the story but he said could be not probably. So I would take him at his word and say he thinks it could happen.
