Fox anchor claims Iranian missile could possibly ‘hit some military installations’ in the U.S.

In an interview with former UN ambassador John Bolton today, Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett asserted that Iran’s Shahab missile “could actually hit — I think — some military installations in the United States.” “Absolutely,” replied Bolton, clarifying that it was “U.S. forces stationed in the region” that could be threatened by such a missile.

Watch it at link~

The current range of Iran’s Shahab missiles is said to be 1,200 miles, but the United States and Iran are much more than 1,200 miles apart. The approximate distance between Tehran and Washington, D.C. is actually 6,340 miles.

2. I respectfully suggest

that anchor man goes back to doing something more constructive like playing with himself.

3. Scare Scare, Fear Fear...Facts Be Damned

Welcome to one part of the GOOP's kitchen sink...the first is racism, the other is fear. The other day I heard Bloody Mary Matalin recting the debunked bullshit of China drilling off of Cuba (the latest Red China fear for the Lou Dobbs set...bonus points for working in Cuba and Hispanics)...and some other meatpuppet saying how "vulnerable" this country was as "thanks to Democrats raising the price of oil" (yes, he said that) that this was giving Iran more money to build bigger and more lethal weapons. It's pure fantasy, but it's the game the right wing media plays like a fiddle...say the rumor, scare the viewer and then jumble things up so even if its debunked, the rumor/lie has been thrown around so much it's never truly debunked.

13. Look How Many Believed It About Iraq...

Never underestimate the short-term memory of the American sheeple. Remember, they've been building up this Iranian boogie man for years and it's red meat for those who benefit from endless war and turmoil. It's always good business. :crazy:

They don't even TRY to be logical, do they?

Message #1 is FEAR.

5. Gregg Jarrett needs to put down the Pipe

And enter Rehab

[Echo In Light]

10. The crack pipe, certainly not the "peace" pipe

...if you follow :hippie:

[saigon68]

23. Yes that makes sense

The crack pipe





Addicts have found that these 4-inch-long glass tubes with tiny fake roses make good crack pipes. They’re sold in many convenience stores across the nation, sometimes from a hidden cache behind the counter.


The release goes on to describe the rose tube and its common use with the scouring pad. In Chicago, a city alderman and the Rev. Michael Pfleger stood on the steps of City Hall for a press conference, lobbying to wipe out rose tubes. The rose, Pfleger told the Chicago Tribune in 1999, was essentially a ruse, a "backdoor approach" to sell drug paraphernalia over the counter. The tubes are now banned in the city, Pfleger says.

And in Milwaukee, two district attorneys got store owners to sign good-faith agreements saying they would not stock rose tubes and some other possible paraphernalia items, including small plastic bags, also called gem packs, used by dealers to package crack for street sales.

6. faux lies constantly and pretends it was a mis-speak or and error in all actuality

'tis easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission' which is what their pundits continuously do, that and just float lies in order to conjure any emotion they think is necessary at the time. :grr:

[marmar]

7. If you're going to make some bullshit up, at least try to make it sound somewhat believable.....

..... But in the Fauxian land of single-digit IQs, they can't even do that!

:dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

9. As opposed to ours...

...which can most definitely hit anyplace in Iran, military or civilian.

Not to mention that if we "only" dropped one a day, we could keep it up for years.

[spanone]

11. after 8 years, pigs like bolton are still free to spew this shit on teevee

[whistle]

12. John Bolton is a neocon fear mongering militaristic fascistic lying sack of dung

...that should clear up any thoughts about his credibility

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Now tell us the bad stuff about him...

:evilgrin:

[Lint Head]

16. Yea. Sure. And Saddam had nuclear submarines and aircraft

carriers off the coast of Florida. :dem:

[tanyev]

17. Oh no! Time to start having drills in schools again, so students

learn how to hide under their desks to protect themselves from the nuclear explosion. :scared:

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. They're saying this AGAIN!? They said that about unmanned Iraqi drones with chemical warheads.

19. This must be like how Saddam could strike us in 45 minutes

despite having no air force or navy.

20. Well, what's stopping them from strapping 6 or 7 of them together?

They could make it go 6 or 7 times further. We're all doomed!
