BOMB IRAN NOW BECAUSE...UH, WHAT'S THE REASON?

Yesterday morning on FAUX News Network, the morning stooges were gleefully talking about how our military could drop this big old "bunker buster" bomb on selected targets in Iran. We all know how well that has worked in the past. Well, what the heck, they're just collateral damage.

Greta Van Susteren (FAUX) seems to be unable to find any new guests because she constantly has war monger, John Bolton, as her guest. Bolton's sole purpose in life seems to be that we must "bomb Iran now." Of course, that useful fool has a powerful ally named John McCain. Remember when Sen. McCain gave his famous, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" jingle? Yeah, real funny.

How easy it is to wave the flag for war when one hears this constant chant to "bomb Iran," because if we don't, Iran will obliterate Israel by dinner time. I would ask you: Is anyone giving a thought to just exactly what this means in real time and the consequences?

New lies plastered over old wall paper and being hyped by writers all over the media: October 4, 2009. The Coming War with Iran. When not if. "War with Iran is now inevitable. The only question is: Will it happen sooner or later? Tehran's recent missile tests and war games suggest that the apocalyptic mullahs have reached the same conclusion."

Puppets of the new world order elites automatically smear anyone who questions our foreign policy with regards to Israel as "anti-Semitic." Of course, most people don't even know what that label means other than it's the kiss of death for politicians and journalists who are trying to be rational and fair in making an informed decision. Just ask the authors of 'The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy' by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt.

I read every word of that book. It is fully footnoted and scholarly. There is no "anti-Semitic" rhetoric, only facts. We the people have every right to question foreign policy of our government regardless of which countries are involved. That should not be a sin or reason to destroy someone's reputation. It is our duty because a constitutionally declared war should always be the last choice.

Someone sent me this link to a 50 minute video who wanted to let me know it was "anti-Semitic filth." I watched the entire documentary; a bit difficult because a little bit is in Dutch. However, the guests spoke English: John Mearsheimer, former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson, cofounder of the Christians United for Israel lobbying group, John Hagee, neoconservative Richard Perle and historian Tony Judt. It was quite an eye opener if you listen to what is said by Wilkerson in some very candid moments. Second, Judt is Jewish as is Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch. A bit hard to smear them with that ugly label, yet that's exactly what has been done to both of them for simply expressing their views.

How long has this drum beating been going on?

August 3, 2005. Estimate Revised on When Iran Could Make Nuclear Bomb. "Completing their first full-scale assessment of Iran in four years, American intelligence agencies have concluded that Iran is "determined to build nuclear weapons" but is not expected to possess such weapons until the early or middle years of the next decade, administration officials said Tuesday....

"An administration official, asking not to be identified because administration officials are not authorized to discuss intelligence matters, said that, intentionally or not, the new assessment appeared to play into the hands of those who argue that there is some time to try to persuade Iran to change its ways, and no need for a confrontation right now."

January 12, 2006. Iran's Next Steps: Final Tests and the Construction of a Uranium Enrichment Plant. "Though some analysts at the IAEA believe that Iran could assemble centrifuges quicker, other analysts, including those in the US intelligence community, appear to believe that a date of 2009 would be overly optimistic. They believe that Iran is likely to encounter technical difficulties that would significantly delay bringing a centrifuge plant into operation. Factors causing delay include Iran having trouble making so many centrifuges in that time period or it taking longer than expected to overcome difficulties in operating the cascades or building a centrifuge plant."

November 2007. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (US) "We judge with moderate confidence that the earliest possible date Iran would be technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) for a weapon is late 2009, but that this is very unlikely... G. We judge with high confidence that Iran will not be technically capable of producing and reprocessing enough plutonium for a weapon before about 2015."

December 3, 2007. U.S. report: Iran halted nuclear weapons drive in 2003. "Iran halted its secret effort to develop a nuclear weapon four years ago and doesn't appear to have restarted the project, a comprehensive new U.S. intelligence report said Monday. Iran's decision to stop the program in mid-2003 indicates that it's "less determined" to acquire nuclear weapons and "more vulnerable" to international pressure than U.S. intelligence agencies had previously believed, the U.S. intelligence community said."

14 December 2007. Iran hasn't a nuclear weapons programme. "An article by Dafna Linzer in The Washington Post on 27 March 2005, entitled Past Arguments Don't Square With Current Iran Policy [19], describes US nuclear policy towards Iran in the 1970s, a policy that was very different to today's. Ironically, it was pursued by some of the individuals who held jobs in the present Bush administration....

“After balking initially, President Gerald R. Ford signed a directive in 1976 offering Tehran the chance to buy and operate a US-built reprocessing facility for extracting plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel. The deal was for a complete ‘nuclear fuel cycle’ – reactors powered by and regenerating fissile materials on a self-sustaining basis.â€
