SA Radio - Neocon Follies: Is Iran a Threat?

[xtremejohnny69]

Not trying to defend neocons here, but reports just came out saying Iran has been caught selling weapons to terrorist organizations that wish to do harm to the US 10 times. Not making a claim for war, but I do think we need to take some kinda action like diplomacy or sanctions.

[bdmenne]

Ron Paul, Rand Paul, The Constitution, Libertarian values, the Founding Fathers ALL HAVE a chance. We will always have a chance to change, to improve our lives. It all adds up, Truth always builds, never dies.

[MrAbolitionist]

and bombing Iran will make them not hate us......right? (obvious sarcasm)

[bdmenne]

@MrAbolitionist How true. People get so emotional that they can't even think straight anymore.

Thanks for pointing out the absurdity of the caller's "solution" to them hating. Brilliant!

Is that irony or what?

[rtgoodson]

LOL! He has no legal power within Iran. The clerics have all the power, and the US spends more on the military than the other top ten powers combined.

[arbighookasian]

if westerns and so called shit bag jews are the ones who want world wide peace then why do they invade other contries, i just wounder what is gonna happen the day when they come across china or india i just want to see how many hours they would last before they run out of man power 6 million DIRT BAGS

[PanzerKampfWagen29]

@arbighookasian That is what I love about true conservatism, they attract flies like you like a pile of dog doo. You are a just a Nazi lowlife

[CreepyLizard]

"Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, every Arab country over there..."

Pakistan is not an Arab country.

[rhfyr91]

@CreepyLizard Yeah i caught that too.

[Franco20055]

I love the southern Avenger, a true patriot

[jakefake1]

What is your suggestion? Do nothing? Make friends wtih them? This governmental regime wants us and our allies dead. Their religious theocracy views us as Satanic.

I say leave them alone, but keep an eye on them. Don't let a crazy guy hyped up on power get a nuke.

[tattypatty]

Over half the population is under 30. America can reach them without blowing them to pieces.

[Odyssey54]

Why is it that no one ever mentions how Ahmadinajahd wanted to lay a wreath at ground zero, Americans pissed and moaned and turned down his obvious peace offering? There is also no mention that the Ayatollah can veto anything the President wants there, and he says that he will not allow Iran to attack. If there is a war, Iran will NOT be the aggressor, don't believe the Neo-conservative and Zionist propaganda.

[CheiniBzzz]

America and Israel provokes Iran to show the World that they can defend them selves.

Those who want to fight Iran should go there and fight it them selves.

BUSH, Stop killing the Youth of America, Arabia and Persia!!

It seems like it's just a game to you. You against the World.

That's most of the Europeans wiev anyway.

[Whoo69]

I'm sick and tired of neocons and Zionists forcing us to be Israel's babysitter. It's true that some of these people seem to forget Washington D.C. is the capital, NOT Tel Aviv. I'm pro-Israel on the conflict, and I think the Palestinians, for the most part, are a bunch of whiners and a lot of them do support terrorists, but I'm not about to die for Israel anytime soon.

[roht5]

Amen, brother. The first thing we need to stop? That 3 billion dollars in welfare money we send to Israel every year. That's 500 dollars in a blank check to every Israeli citizen. As an American, do I get that money from my government? Does the Israeli government reciprocate the favor? Hell no. I call that treason on behalf of our elected officials.

[Whoo69]

Let Ahmadinejad stir up anti-American and anti-Israel sentiment all he wants. At the end of the day, we both know that the Iranians are weak compared to us and could never take us or Israel out. Why are we so worried about Israel anyway? Can't Israel handle itself?

In the 1980s when Saddam was building a reactor, the Israelis, out of desperation, bombed that reactor and prevented (for a limited time) further nuclear enrichment.  I think Israel can do the same if they want.

[Whoo69]

We really need a return to the Just War doctrine. I have always believed it is the true path, and I know this in my heart to be true. Times change, but our foreign policy doesn't have to radically change with them. These idiots who think we should go to war with Iran must also have the same conceptions about Iraq: that it has no army, no defenses, no nothing. That it will be a cakewalk to go into Tehran and take over.

That is a dangerous assumption. No expert believes that.

[Whoo69]

The real problem, though, is that politicians and leaders are basing too much of their foreign policies and beliefs on pure rhetoric and views rather than the facts. Fact is, Iran couldn't take us out even if they tried!!

I always think about Mike Gravel at the DNC primary whenever someone says "Let's bomb Iran": "Who are you gonna nuke?!" "Who are we afraid of? Who are you afraid of, Brian?"

We need a real man as pres, not some pansy neocon who underestimates our power.

[Whoo69]

We should base our policy decisions on what the experts say in the State Dept., the CIA, and intel community, NOT a bunch of imperialist former Democrats and Stalinists and Trotskyists. Experts do NOT recommend a war with Iran at all! The neocons base all their foreign policy on ideology, not facts and real analysis. We must not go down that road. The Just War doctrine works, and it will always work. War should never be a first or 2nd resort. Besides, it's setting a dangerous precedent.

[Whoo69]

A military invasion of Iran and attempt to "disarm" them would be incredibly dangerous, not to mention grossly immoral. Who are we to punish the entire nation of Iran for the idiocy of its leaders in trying to obtain a nuke?? And who are we to be afraid? We have 1000s of nukes! Them getting one nuke isn't gonna change anything. What about missile defense? If the war hawks are so concerned about an Iranian attack, why not invest in missile defense to PREVENT the attack and not go to war??

[Whoo69]

That guy on the phone was a complete moron, Jack. "He's stirring up the people" So the hell what?? WTF does that hafta do with anything? You really think the people in Iran have that much power in the first place?? You can't even run for office in Iran without being prescreened by the Guardian Council, which is very pro-sharia.

[roht5]

He was just worried that Americans might think twice about sending its OWN men and women in uniform to fight a war to protect Israel. I'd bet good money that the caller was a treasonous AIPAC warmonger. If he's so worried about Israel, tell him to get on a plane and go live there. America will be just fine on its own.

[GiveItOrLoseIt]

holy shit|!!!! all these comments are soooo fucking informative. thank you guys and thanks for the video. hope to see you guys join the campaign for liberty

[Peraj82]

Bush needs a better reason to attack Iran

most probably there will be another terrorist attack in US much bigger let say a Nuke bomb in a city of US (one of those Nuklear bombs which was missed in september)

and this time another false flag opperation and this time blame on Iran. then WW3

do you know whats the reason of all of these wars who is benefiting? US? no UK? no these 2 lost all reputation and face in the world

Israel? yes

if you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

[HungKiet]

damn right Iran is a greatest to the USA!!!

[MentalReserve]

The Truth

[BOMangles]

Iran is only a threat to us because they are trying to get OPEC to sell oil for something other than the U.S. dollar. Search youtube for the Petrodollar.

[shiftstart]

You are right on the money Bomangles. One of the reasons why we had to start the war in Iraq was because Saddam was no longer taking our Petrodollar. On Youtube Dr. Paul give a speech on end of dollar hegemony. It is also another reason why Iran is targeted next. Once they develop the nuclear plant they will minimize usage and reject our petrodollar. This would threaten our dollar in Middle East as every other country my decided to move away from the dollar.

[shiftstart]

Even Iran and Venezuela declared the best to combat U.S. is through is monetary system. When dollar is backed by worthless paper you'll have to do everything even war to protect it.

[bbbbboi68]

Well said!

Too many morons have fallen for the anti-Iranian propoganda: Hook, line and sinker. People need to learn how to think for themselves instead of having George W. Bush, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and many other neo-cons spoon-feed their thoughts to them. People like the caller are incapable of seeing the broader picture.

[blacksteel25]

Ahmadinejad was elected because he was promising democracy to the Iranian people, but instead he's made it worse on the Iranian people by making a police state. It's true that a small group of people have daily hate rally's in their capital, but the majority of Iranians are good people and in fact share a lot of culture with the US.

[metalmike06]

Good point. I know actually there is something like 3-400,000 Christian Armenians living in Iran and they also have a practicing Jewish population of about 30,000, as well as many Christians and a Jew in the Iranian parliament. Now obviously religious minorities aren't respected as much but its not like they are denied rights or murdered or that they are living under severe oppression. They are people just like us, and Iran is a fairly westernized country, religion aside.

[UGOTDAJACK]

umm...Ahmadinejad TRIED to create democracy with america. The fucked up wicked treasonus media will never report this but in the early stages of the Afghanistan war Iran was an ALLY to america. It's not until the state of the union speech leading up to the war with Iraq does that puppet by the name of George Bush put them on the axis of evil list. Why Bush chose to do this has still not been coverd to this day. Noone brings it up, everybody sweeps it under the rug as if it were unimportant.

[cfpa1]

Iran is no threat to us YET and probably never will be. But in the not too distant future they will be a threat to Israel and you can be sure Israel WILL take care of that threat just as they have in the past.

[shiftstart]

What a neo con tool LOL!! Iran is not a threat but the president of Iran has this lip and mouth on him that's worth bombing the whole country LOL!! Imagine if your neighbor didn't like the lip on your face only to have him burn down your house!! And since when is it a crime to excite people? Notice the caller was also worried more over Israel than U.S. Next time tell your callers if your so worried about Israel, why don't you pack your bags and move over there.

[Robotor77]

LOL @ the caller saying that Iran is full of hatred. The powers over there are even more disconnected with their people than the Shah. And they kicked his ass out the country.

[UnhealthySalad]

Didn't Iran try to help us after 9/11? I guess being grouped with the "Axis of Evil" is the thanks they get.

Ahmadinejad isn't even popular in his own country. Do you think that peon would be a better unifier, or do you think a US attack would be a better unifier of the Iranians against American? The answer is obvious. Invading or bombing thing is the most foolish thing we could do. We can't dismiss Ahmadinejad, but he really isn't much of a threat, to us or our ally Israel.

[Jattmafia313]

yea the only muslim countries that helped america were pakistan and saudi arabia

[veronesedissident]

We do have enemies, but they're in Washington D.C., Israel, China, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico!

[boygenis]

WOW.... That is exactly correct, Go Radio Guy.

[axisboldas]

SA is 100% correct. Besides, Ahmadinejad won't get re-elected.

[paleocrat]

This is great! Man, I wish I could hear your program in MI! Keep up the good work.

[anyusmoon1]

Who is that adorable child, the redhead, she is adorable!?

[loveiran2]

islam is for arabs and the rest ho want too be muslim not persians ,,,,,hahaha their you see muhamad was a arab invider of persia and our persian culture long live iran ............

[veronesedissident]

So, you're saying that the natural inclination of the Persians would not be a gravitation towards Islam?

[shiftstart]

Preach on Southernavenger!!! I've always said that the true conservative movement has always been the brains behind common sense.

This caller clearly does not have the brain or a common sense.

[linwooddeaton]

Does anyone here remember the open letter that Iran sent to the u.s.a. citizens?

He tried to talk to us then.

[judoskeleton]

I read the whole thing. It has some valid points. I don't trust that it was completely genuine though. Ahmadinejad is purposely misquoted often but he does seem to have two faces.

[benjie2429]

Ahh crap too bad we couldnt get that whole thing

[greenback001]

spank!

[VoteYourConsience]

lol he flip flopped at the end

hahahahaha

[Stephanreyu]

Talk about being schooled... Great job SA.

[mrgrieves9876]

ahh no i want more neocon bitch smacking

[Phrozenbot]

The fact is if Iran nuked Israel, they would have hundreds or more coming back at them. Iran would be a glass crater.

And if I recall, the missiles Iran has (no nuclear warhead yet) can reach Europe, and not us. Let Europe deal with Iran. It would just make as much sense for the EU to be talking tough on Mexico if they had nukes, instead of the US.

[sLeepPastNooN]

And that is why Ron Paul is winning! SA does it again.

[tonebonetone]

The last time I checked, America has not invaded Iran. You're getting all worked up for nothing. Iran doesnt have nukes and America hasnt invaded Iran. However, look at the life of an Iranian. Instead of using all your hate on George Bush, maybe you could share some of it for Ahmadinejad.

[judoskeleton]

It is really hard not to get angry when arguing with a victim of demagogy.

[redgalaxy4]

Great video, possibly your best one yet. You just completely tore the neocons a new one.

[leojauregui]

But guys, do you really think that Ron Paul got any chance?

I mean real chance

[southernavenger]

Yep

[lordaltay5]

woo! You post here! I found out about you through "stumble upon" and I thought your video on Lincoln was very well thought out and showed me a perspective I had NEVER even considered before (I'm a Turkish American who was raised in the North where I was taught Lincoln was demi-god in school) since that video, I've watched all your videos, showed them to many of my friends and even predicted your endorsement for Ron Paul before the release of any Ron Paul related videos by you ; )

[atchisrj1]

@leojauregui Now he has the best chance he ever has had.

Ron Paul/Gary Johnson 2012!
