hopefully this meets the criteria for posting here (Syria)

Having just recently participating in a thread titled something like "Give Obama a break" i thought this was of interest.

"We have been down this road before – with President George W. Bush, to whom we addressed our first VIPS memorandum immediately after Colin Powell’s Feb. 5, 2003 U.N. speech, in which he peddled fraudulent “intelligence” to support attacking Iraq. Then, also, we chose to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt, thinking he was being misled – or, at the least, very poorly advised."

It's not really a repeat. It's an extension, an escalation, a moving forward of a predatory agenda that will destroy all of us. Only two countries left on the PNAC list.

One of them is Iran.

Just look at how this country has changed just since 2001. The middle class and our treasures of education and social safety structures hollowed out and millions of us slaves to debt, our free society twisted into an authoritarian surveillance state, journalism strangled and replaced with incessant Orwellian droning for war...and fat bankers buying private islands and jets with the money that is supposed to feed and educate our children.

Just imagine what this country will look like in ten more years, if we let them get away with this.
