Joe Lieberman a sponsor for regime change in Iran

[bonito]

This is their real Iran agenda imo

Returning to the issue of Iran, the US government has been wielding its saber for a while now. It has broadcasted its desire for Iranian regime change, which, as in the case of Iraq, is the real reason the neocons want war, rather than a genuine fear of terrorist WMD. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter (who was famously right about Iraq) was asked by Antiwar.com’s Scott Horton if he believed that "nuclear disarmament is the excuse" for "the policy of regime change," to which Ritter answered: "That's correct. The Bush administration has made it clear that when it comes to the Middle East, the policy is regional transformation." As for the weapons, Ritter says,

"Well, actually the government knows that Iran is not about to have an armful of nuclear weapons. When you hear someone say that Iran is ten years away from having a nuclear weapon, that means that they are at zero right now, because ten years is about how long it takes in this day and age – that's what it takes to put in place the technology, develop the infrastructure, pump out the fissile material, etc."

1. Joe Lieberman is a neocon and a fascist

[spanone]

2. Today on CNN joe said that 'Iran has all but declared war on the U.S.'

joe should be in a home

[cui bono]

3. Make that an institution. Of the mental variety. nt

4. While I have no doubt that Bush, Lieberman et al would love regime change in Iran...

I would also be very suspicious of anything from Lew Rockwell's website. He is a right-wing libertarian, who is against the war, but pretty dodgy on lots of other issues. Anthony Gregory also posted an article on the same site that was basically a violent diatribe against 'socialized medicine', which does make one wonder how reliable he is on anything else.

Of course, the point that being 'ten years away from nuclear weapons' means nothing and could apply to anyone *is* a very valid one.
