Watching the Sunday talk shows, it's just like 2002 with a N instead of a Q.

Watching the Sunday talk shows, it's just like 2002 with a N instead of a Q.

I think our Owners have already decided to attack Iran. You can tell by the amount of blatant anti-Iran propaganda that is on EVERY news show. The decision has been made, and they're now trying to scare/fool the American public into supporting it.

Last night I had a discussion with a friend about Iran, and finally I just had to bluntly say "The same people saying Iran is a threat to us, are the same assholes that said Iraq had WMD, so forgive me if I don't believe a word of this lie."

Watching Wes Clark on Bill Maher was another indication that the Owners have already made up their minds. I lost a great deal of respect for Clark with his ultra-hawk behavior. It made me realize how naive I was. Here is a 4 star general running around pretending to support liberal causes, but when the rubber hits the road he played the shill for his Military Industrial Complex pals...

Be careful who you support. Many of the people asking us for their support, enabled Bush to invade Iraq, and are now actively enabling him to invade Iran.

2. It is a lot of blatant manufactured fear.
Like Iraq-talk in 2002, just ask "why now?"
They are grasping for reasons to bomb, just the same. There is absolutely no reason for us to be talking about an Iranian threat, right now. It's ridiculous. It was ridiculous in 2002, and it is now.

5. Actually it had to do with his words on Bill Maher.
But I guess you didn't really bother to try to get my point.

You Hillary worshipers are fucking sensitive.. Jeez...

4. Beware
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU HAVE CONTINUING-TO-EVOLVE REASONS TO BRING OUR COUNTRY TO WAR?

The reason to go to war is not something malleable and evolutionary.

IT IS ABSOLUTE BY ITS VERY NATURE!

These guys are once again throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks to the American public!
