Iran war mongering
Not so fast, says Scott Shields. Utter bullshit, says Steve Gilliard.
But let's not let facts and logic impede a brilliant Republican strategy for the midterm elections. A progressive activist and organizer looks ahead to Iran.

WE MUST KEEP ONE THING VERY CLEARLY IN MIND - AND KEEP HAMMERING IT HOME TO THE MOSTLY NAIVE AND FAT AMERICAN POPULATION: BUSH'S PUPPETEERS ARE NOT FIXED ON IRAN, IRAQ OR ANY OTHER "PLACE".
THEY ARE FIXED ON THE COMPLETE DESTABILIZATION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, BY KEEPING A FEARFUL AMERICA IN A PERPETUAL STATE OF WAR, WITHIN WHICH THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WISH, AS THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
THESE PEOPLE WANT NOT ONLY THE U.S. - THEY WANT THE GLOBE! (Do any Americans vaguely remember the names Hitler, Mussolini, or Franco, and how they employed this very same ancient and simple methodology? Europeans remember, as it was their homes, families and communities which were bombed, shot and systematically exterminated, not long ago. Americans must study this history, remember it, and apply its lessons. Now!)

Ans: NONE, they are both War Lords - except for one tiny detail, Charles Taylor is now facing justice in a court of law, whilst George Bush continues his high crimes and misdemeanours which include the same crimes as Charles Taylor committed ie: Crimes against humanity.
Do we ever ask ourselves why we do not call a spade a spade?
eg:- Guantanamo Detention Centre should read Guantanamo Concentration Camp; Interrogation should read Torture ; Rendition should read Transportation by death squads; 30% approval rating should read 70% disapproval rating; Facts should read Wild Guesses - whilst Truth should read Downright Lies etc.. etc..
Why do we think that Censure is more than just a "pat on ther hand" ? At what point do we say enough is enough ? Who has got the guts to stand up and march for the cause of impeachment now? (12 million "illegals" are happy to come out of their cover !) It is more apparent every day that our electees are only there for the money - and will do nothing that might jeopardize their jobs - a curse on them!

If I made a $1 bet every time I've heard someone underestimating the zealotry of this religiously, tyrannical, clinically insane group that calls themselves "the bush administration, I'd be a rich man.
bush&co. can in NO way have either side of Congress go to the Dems - the lid would come off all the scandals, from election fraud to 9/11, one couldn't keep up with the crimes.
Nah, it's going to happen. It HAS to happen. Why? Not for the want of the betterment of man kind. No, it's because these bastards will see the World destroyed before they would admit they were wrong. It's gotten to the point they don't feel that anyone's opinion matters but theirs and DAMN the rest of us. They're that messianic. Read about PNAC, investgate Ohio, can't be done? It's BEING DONE!
Can't happen - huh? I'm sure that's what they said in pre-WWII Germany.

We live in a dangerous world that is getting ever more dangerous by the day ! To sit idly by and do nothing invites disaster and violence on a scale against us not seen by any American generation. In its defiance of the United nations resolutions, the government of Iran has in effect declared war on Israel, and by extension the United States of America and the rest of the world !
It is time to stand up for freedom, and let the Iranians know with a resounding rebuke, that this agression WILL NOT STAND ! ! ! ! It's time to put a few NUKES UP THEIR ASS !
If we fail to deter this threat, more will arise until we are entirely engulfed over our heads ! Americans need not be afraid ! As Americans, we must stand up for freedom ! We must promote democracy ! We MUST and WILL DEFEAT TYRRANY everywhere we find it in the world ! ! !
May God continue to bless the United States of America and the George W. Bush administration !
