This pullout was planned well in advance - Obama announced it in 2009.  By June of 2010 or earlier, the Israeli Air Force set up shop in Saudi Arabia, near the city of Tabuk - the closest base to Iran - at the same time, US troops are massing along Iran's border with Azerbijan (they've been there for some time).  This weekend marks the start of operations for Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor.

"Things go back, I believe, to World War II, to intimidate the opposition. We did it ruthlessly in Vietnam, and the most well-known Operation Phoenix, with the estimated number of civilians that we killed, numbered maybe 80,000. The number could have been doubled," he added.

He said the United States military presences in Iraq and Afghanistan is tantamount to war crime.
