Iran was dangerous. Iran is dangerous. Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge to make a nuclear weapon
If I tore a piece of hair from my head every time I hear something from the Bush administration that utterly boggles my mind I’d be wearing a good ole meat helmet I think. It’s pretty unbelievable that the president didn’t face a barrage of questions after the briefing. Realistically it surprises me nobody just laughs out loud and starts holding their stomach because they can’t believe the horse manure coming out of the white house.
Let’s take a short step back here for a second and examine what’s going on. Bush and Cheney are hell bent on bombing the crap out of Iran. They have probably already put the CIA into the country to pick out strategic targets, come up with a flawed contingency plan and all the other proper prep work that went into the preparations for the Iraq war. As reported before here the dangers of striking in the middle east are very clear.
Also, for those of you that aren’t quite aware of it, we already attacked Iran this century. Not directly of course, but with the help of our CIA we helped spark a revolution in that country which turned the country into the radical islamic state it is today. As a matter of fact they’re not even that radical. As Obama mentioned at a presidential debate today in Iowa, the majority of people in Iran oppose the ruling Elite and are much more likely to lean towards the west, if given the chance. Instead of galvanizing the people of that country behind their government we should do everything we can not to have them see the US as an enemy, if that’s even possible.
I understand that we live in times where every bit of information that comes out is accused of being politicized by either party. However how can anyone claim that when the current National Intelligence Estimate gets releases, which is comprised of the contribution of 16 different intelligence agencies that this isn’t serious information.
John Bolton, our former UN ambassador who’s known around the world for his diplomatic skills (I kid) was interviewed on Fox News where he said that the report shouldn’t be taken the wrong way and that by all means we shouldn’t let up on the pressure with Iran.
So, to sum things up what we’re talking about here is that we are on the road of denying countries the “idea” of having something. Last time I checked that’s pretty comparable to the thought police. I just find that the intellectual integrity of this discussion has dropped down so low that a fifth grader could make a better argument than our government can currently.
Don’t believe the Facts, just believe us. That seems to be the current mantra. Doesn’t matter that tons of other countries in the world have nuclear weapons, we’re supposed to be worried about Iran. Surprisingly O’reilly today on his ‘factor’ even agreed that the last thing we need right now is another war to get sucked in to. How sad is it that I say it’s a good thing that O’reilly agrees on something. Wow.
