  • You don't get the oil even though it is your shores, the oil companys get the oil! If they want to sell it all to Japan you can't do jack shit about it. Drilling more in the mexican gulf would lower the oil prize a cupple of percents, but thats it.

  • wow this guy makes liberals look terrible and i assure you this does not account for all of us. why do you say "these people" when this is just the madness of one guy, that's hypocrisy 101 man, you're making a generalization just as he is.

  • drill in our own shores?? HA HA HA yeah go ahead and do more drilling in our shore HA HA you pathetic moron

  • A perfect example of why I distance myself from the 2 party system.

    Everyone is a clueless berk

  • then they call the conservatives the conspiracy theorists...

  • educated conservatives their need to be more of us...

  • Look, I didn't vote for Obama, but I vowed that I would treat him w/the utmost respect, civility, and propriety.

    Still, McCain is a man of honor and character and yes, so is Obama. If either one of them decided on war w/Iran, I would give them the benefit of the doubt that they had justified grounds for it and not selfish reasoning. & Frankly, same w/Bush.

  • Wow, I knew the young turks were pretty dense, but this is insane.

  • Young jurks XD

  • BullShit! Fuck osamabama & his ilk!

    GOD BLESS, ALL TRUE PATRIOTS!

    Pres. Bush! Did His Job!

    osamabama, won't be 1/2 The president!

    sieg hail osamabama? HELL NO!

    FUCK him!

  • dude the ms 13, the crips, the bloods, the serenos , the nortenos,18th street, the Latin kings, los avanetas, the kkk, and the nazi skinhead extremists, are in the usa military due to the 2nd amendment right of association so next time you pass by that bad neighborhood watch out for purple heart wearing gangsters instead of some racist rightist people spoutin about the war

  • I Do!

    ALL IL-legal Aliens & gansta's, SHOULD BE COUGHT.

    TAZED, Then Tazed Again!

    Then Deported!

    osamabama & his liberal socialist friends are Full of LIES!

  • I absolutely cannot stand this drooling pompous Obama-bot.

    Yes, "if Obama attacks Iran it's from a point of view that is considerate". lolol. Here that Iran? If Obama attacks you it's OK because he's only being "considerate".

    This is EXACTLY the mentality of the Left that drives me nuts. They think their motives are so pure that ANYTHING they do is OK because their intentions are noble. Even invading another country...it's automatically OK f the Left does it.

  • oh yeah a liberal right im neither god has no say in the usa it seems like the us is the modern day sodom and gamorum

  • Yes, because we all know a war with a D after it is much better than a war with an R after it.

    This guy is an a-clown.

  • Are we fucking serious? we still have ppl that defend bush and the republicants?

  • Big government is a pretty loose term. Tell it to millions of right wings who support it that fascism is left-wing agenda :)

  • You've just disqualified yourself from being taken seriously. You don't even know what Fascism is.

  • grow up kid

  • This guy talking (Cenk) is a libertarian not a democrat...He used to be a Republican (pre-Bush years)

  • No he's not a libertarian. I'm so sick of people who push Big Government calling themselves libertarians.

  • It is so non-libertarian to impose labels on others. If someone claims to be a libertarian or socialists another libertarian should be the last one who not to accept it. Let's me try: I assume you are hard-core right wing who try to avoid the bigot label and realized libertarians have more credibility left then the other sects of the party (nationalists, theocrats, fascists, etc). On the other hand I agree with you he is not libertarian -nobody is. It is not an American nature to be tolerant.

  • Fascists are part of the Leftwing first of all.

    Moreover, nobody can call themselves a libertarian if they support Big Government programs.

    he's not a libertarian.

  • actually he is the wingman who died for our sins and god is the creater and lord jesus is the savior and jesus was born in Israel in the fall ..another thing Christmas started as a paegen sacrificial tradition look it up

  • I am an atheist because I know too much about the lies of religion. The dusty old books should never be used as justification for the killing of Palestinian children by Zionists today.

  • yeah really lies of religion which ones the one about hitler directly in revalations read up on that one religion is an excuse people use who arent really religious and athiesm is a religion too supposedly scientific or some bullshit you will never know all the truths from the lies of your own religion

  • Cult of personality you say??...hmmm....isn't campaign trail politics all about nothing but personality?...personality...t­hat's why that empty toolbox Sarah Palin was taken aboard the McCain ticket?..she has nothing to bring to the table but her winking personality to appeal to idiotic voters.....your attack logic here is all wrong my friend...Obama isn't even in the white house yet...therefore he is nothing but personality and promises yet to be fulfilled...

  • nope he did an interview where he told the soldiers would be out of the place we blew up in 1 year and 1 month the other guy promises he would be a racist white warmonger who would see the Asa go into 100 years of war than to have world peace which America has immediate diction over

  • Why would installing a democracy in the middle east be for oil? We have as much if not more oil in Colarado than the middle east.

    But the ignorant, selfish politicians on capital hill won't let us have it under the false flag of "global warming" seriously folks lets put the science fiction reading aside and do whats best for us.

  • If there is oil in Colorado that is viable, it would be drilled.

  • It is viable, but it is being kept from us by greedy asswhipes in power. They use lies like "it would take up to ten years to start drilling" while at the same time an actual Oil CEO says they could beginning drilling in a few months. It's a complete farce.

  • Who says it would take ten years to start drilling? I never did. It is not relevant when you can start drilling - what is relevant is when you can bring financially viable quantities of oil to the market.

  • What is the reason for attacking Iran again? They support terrorists? So does the U.S. by supporting Israel when it butchers Palestinians.

  • 4 days gone by and nobody wants to take the bait on this one?...anybody?....here fishy fishy...it's fresh and for the taking!....

  • Israel is not the people were against we are against terrorists not the Israel. you dumb piece of shit and other than that the war has been over for the bulk of 08 despite a few issues Israel is not even in the war plan

  • Look at how Israel sends hellfire missiles into Gaza killing dozens of women and children at a time. The Israeli response is disproportionate. Israel continues to bombard Gaza even though it knows that this will result in the killing of dozens of women and children. This terrorism is Israeli policy. This is state terrorism.

    But Zionists think that Israeli lives are dozens of times more important than Palestinian lives.

  • yeah and nations will come against the nation of israel and the final war will be fought there..

  • "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find some Muslims and Jews to throw rocks at. "....

    How many Jews and Muslims are in Nebraska? - you might have to cross state lines.

  • the muslin end time prophecy they need to kill many people and themselves to bring about the apocalypse but the difference between that religion and Christianity is scientists try to disprove the holy bible and have failed for the last 60 yrs the only thing proved wrong was the burial cloth of jesus which is from the dark ages but have proved from genesis-revelations when it says that the ww2 would happen and the so called lies of religion are actually leftist lies if ya didn't know now ya know

  • You can disprove the delusion of a deluded person. You can no more prove that the bible is untrue than you can disprove a dream. It does not mean that I believe either...but then, I do not require Haloperidol whereas you do if you believe in the bible. If you did not know this already, now ya know.

  • ok then im gonna shoot you in the face thats what in nomine patris et filli espiritus sancti means so go end your worthless life by any means necessary. and you speak in stupid or something why didn't they send people like you to the middle east ya know people who in the grand scheme of it all don't matter

  • Well...Rahm Emanuel the chief-of-staff is a pit-bull Zionist. Here's hoping that he keeps his pro-Israel mouth shut. But as his dad said, Rahm isn't an Arab, scrubbing the White House floors. He'll be pushing for Israel.

  • typical politics. one side says something is good and the other side immediately says it's bad until THEY do it and then it's good...

  • Mmmm, yeah I had a negative gut reaction too. But listening to what he said he was speaking of intent, and not the relative value of the outcome.

    If someone scammed me in the past and they tell me thing (X), and then a relative stranger (who answers questions in a thoughtful intelligent manner, or whatever) told me thing (X); I would be more confident in the stranger's assessment and intentions too, regardless of the inherent value or consequenses of (X).

  • I'd be thinking, "There goes Israel, shoving more X's up my ass again!"

  • I'd never seen this before....

    My opinion of TYT is MUCH lower now than before:(

  • Liberals most certainly do.

  • *You're

  • You are the being brainwashed hypocrite. Can't even admit you started off wrong? k.

    Tell me how my views being an Individualist make me brainwashed? hmmm

    watch?v=y0o2GCT0z4Q&NR=1

  • because you conform to the dumbest level of sheep out of all you are a miserable fuck who is dead inside and tries to hide it with "cool"ideas somebody else put in your head

  • Yep you got that right. You know its going to be interesting watching how Obama deals with these countrys that hate the west and America and also how the "Balanced" media reports things.Good video

  • He said if Bush attacked Iran, it must be because of oil or a NeoCon plot. But, if Obama did it, it at least was considered.

    That is as in context as I could make it. Cenk is a drone.

  • Not surprising since Democrats allowed sanctions on Iran, which is an act of war. It always pisses me off that everything just becomes Bush's fault. As much as he was a Liberal, lets not forget who controlled Congress and the Senate for two years. Way to shut down the Iraq war by cutting off the funding... Wait a second... They funded it! And suddenly Obama is going to change things? Please, more of the same. Paul/Ventura 2012

  • You left out an Ex-Navy SEAL, Ex-Governor and a man who knows more about the system then you would. I guess you never heard him talk, or you are just too stupid to comprehend anything. To be a dumb ass is to vote for the Big Government token politician who uses his party as a cute sticker to mean something.

    You are the dumb ass.

  • you left out ex movie actor.. and you cock smoking leftist retard I AM CANADIAN you guys voted an ex male cheerleader coke doing drunk since high school war for daddy asshole who fucked your economy in the ass and then you voted for a 70 year old ex-con who was dumb enough to stay the entirety of Vietnam in vn prison not a pow camp a prison oh and you listen to techno what an arse pirate really what the hell is wrong with you techno im blocking you fag

  • Hey dumb ass, those two guys were Liberals/Neo Cons that you talked about. (Bush & McCain) Ya, not True Republicans and definitely not Conservative. And no, I never voted for them and never will. By the way, I am very Conservative no where near leftist you idiot, Canadian huh? And? You still have your problems.

    And who cares so what if Jesse was an actor, he had been correct this whole time. A straight shooter. Heck he is an Libertarian-leaning Liberal and I would still vote for him.

  • Nothing is wrong with me, you are the one who directly called me a dumb ass. You are the one who insulted me first, and you have to block me? lol Go ahead, you had it coming all by yourself. There was no need to be an asshole, but you were anyway. And wtf does my music selection have to do with being a pirate. I don't own them, its in my favorites; so now what are you implying? Some flagging? Please, you brought this shit on yourself. I am all for a rational debate, but you aren't mature enough.

  • go kill yourself really jump off a bridge ya piece of dirt on a recovering wounded country

  • i called you an ass pirate a homosexual not a real pirate a fagot

  • if you were too dumb to figure it out i called you an ass pirate a but goblin a cockhound a take it in the backstreet boy a cocksmoker in other words a fagot

  • You keep using ad-hominem attacks filled with schoolboy epithets which shows how immature many biblethumpers are in their inability to deal with logical argument.

  • eat a dick kid ....."bible thumper" yeah lol the bible doesn't call what i do wrong so i am right..fuck the laws of man...anarchy is against all forms of government,order and peace.. and a kid or adult who plays mmorpgs is a loser at life whose life means nothing to everyone so go back to your little fantasy word where yur big shit and leave real life to real people.

  • Wow...what an eloquent argument. Would that I could sit at your feet to soak up the wisdom. You are a great example of a bible scholar.

    I don't believe that Guild Wars is the real world but you believe in the holy spirit and the whore of babylon and the old man on a cloud. That's kinda pathetic.

  • yeah the end is the only thing of importance to me now since it is so very close the year everyone knows its a warning of sorts a guy said to me lol he saw a group of kids and he said and i quote if these kids are our future than im glad the world ends in 2012 lol"end quote

  • and btw i could care less about america we just bcame a seperate nation again you hosers need passports and visas to get up here so we can deport you republicans from the best place in the world second to none(till usa gets out of debt)canada

  • YouTube: Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!

  • WTF???? He is helping WHO???? Ahem. NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???

    Dude...unbelievable..

    brb...I gotta pick up my jaw from the ground...brb.

  • OPPS... wait! I just found it. sorry.

    BO promises Planned Parenthood American taxpayer will pay for abortions in 36 foreign countries.

    N A S T Y ! ! !

  • They censored out my comment. LOL

    See my channel for some NO CENSOR truth action.

  • Oh yeah! Very nice work with muting the explaining that came after the comment, taking it out of context and misrepresenting somebody.

    Glad to see that Fox News is alive and well on the Internet!

  • according to the left, replaying what someone said is misrepresentation.

  • I'm not really a leftist, but yes, if you take something out of context, giving the person a different opinion than they actually have that is most certainly misrepresentation. Anyone who watches the show knows that Cenk has criticized Obama clearly when he hasn't agreed with his decisions. You, however, cut out a sound bite to make it seem as though he mindlessly agrees with everything the president-elect says or does, which could not be further from the truth.

  • Democrats should rule America forever.

    To you hardcore right wing republicans,

    Just as you said to us democrats: "stop whining, if you don't like it, get out". Hahaha, man I'm glad the election turned out the way it did.

  • "Rule America"

    What are you a Stalinist?

  • govern* whatever

  • Well, it makes a difference.

  • It will be nice to see some sane people back in charge. Folks like these who own this channel are intellectually dishonest, selfish, and dangerously short sighted, probably somewhat sociopathic to boot.

    I mean c'mon, what the hell is this guy dissenting against? He sounds like a foxnews clone.

  • this is one guy on a talk show, he doesn't speak for anyone else, on top of that, you don't even get the point of what he was saying.

  • I do get his point. He cares more about "trust" than principle of whether to bomb Iran or not.

  • yeah but bgressman82 the people in power talk through him. he is a "opinion molder". the democrats want to attack Iran. they take their orders from aipec more than bush.

  • if you watch the whole clip, not just the one minute they put here, you will see the context of what he is saying. both of you obviously don't get it from this. he's saying that obama thinks things through better than bush. watch the whole video, not the one taken out of context.

  • We can't drill in our own shores. Proportionally we use up most of the world's oil, while we have less than a 20th of it. That just makes no sense.

  • Yes it does. We are the most efficient and produce the most stuff from what we use.

  • BO promises Planned Parenthood American taxpayer will pay for abortions in 36 foreign countries.

    N A S T Y ! ! !

  • lol, there's no actual rebuttal in this video. All you use in an ad hominem attack in saying "these people are pathetic" without addressing the actual argument.

    And even though this was just an irrelevant diversion on your part, the reason Bush and the neo-cons couldn't have "taken over" Saudi Arabia is because it would have been much harder to come up with an excuse. And we can't forget that Bush is a business partner with the Saudi royal family.

  • Just stop. Cenk is pathetic; he demonstrated that he has no principles. Either you are for or against something...the fact that someone else advocated the same position doesn't make it better.

    The issue of attacking Iran is not Trust...it is whether or not we should do it.

    And to claim it is a NeoCon plot is intellectually a joke.

  • Again, you're being fallacious. Other than throwing out lame insults, you're not at all responding to the content of Cenk's message.

  • At the very least, you're misrepresenting what Cenk said. idk if it's willful ignorance, or if that's what you actually believe, but he wasn't saying Obama attacking Iran would be OK because he trusts him, he was making the point that, because Obama thinks rationally, Cenk would be more confident in a decision Obama would make on attacking Iran. You're completely distorting his point.

  • Yes, and what Cenk meant is absurd.

  • IT IS NOT NECASSARY! THE DEMOCRATS ARE FUCKING WARMONGERS!!!! Albrighyt and Hlobrooke are are are war criminals!!!! They are neolibs!! Its all about Tel Aviv!!! Wake up fellow americans!!!!!!!!

  • Can you really be serious? Impossible. We could have taken over Saudi Arabia or drilled in our own shores for the oil we need. Your ignorance is astounding. Wouldn't you have to drill for oil where there is oil? So the imperialist agenda is just fine with you. Don't the lessons of history of the last century count for anything?

  • The title is not correct:

    "Okay With Attacking Iran if Obama Says So."

    Please watch your own clip and see what is said.

    Secondly, I think 'Repubs' would be happy attacking Iran no matter who says so, and what does that say about them?

    Thirdly, I am sure Cenk will be happy to be seen as 'Dems'

    And finally: I LOVE watching you whine like a girl, please keep it up for at least 4 years, It makes the Obama victory sweeter.

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !

  • Which viewpoint? Zbigniew Brzezinski's viewpoint?

    Here is what is going to happen Zbigniew Brzezinski is going to run the show. Because he has an old score to settle with Russia. Obama is the puppet. Brzezinski is the one who help fund the Mojahedin to fight the Soviets during 1979-1980.

  • Allow your comments to be rated thumbs up or thumbs down if you're confident in your positions.

    Thanks! :)

  • What?! Its my thread; I don't get thumbs up or down.

    Make an argument, or leave.

    You're an intellectual lightweight who has done nothing to advance the discussion other than to demonstrate that my tax dollars were wasted to pay for your education.

  • "These people are pathetic". If you mean the people who put together this video clip with the hatchet job, misleading commentary, I completely agree.

    :)

  • As yes the invariable: Quote exactly what I said and responding to it is a hatchet job.

  • That was completely out of context. I watched that whole show. He wasn't saying we Should invade Iran. He was using that as an example to say he trusts Obama way more than McCain.

  • Yes...???????!!!!!!!

  • How can you blame him for thinking like that? Look how McCain ran his campaign and look at what Bush has done. Why would he trust them?

  • Hey genius. According to your argument, issues and polices are inconsequential.

    According to Cenk, Obama could do anything that Bush would have done or did and he would be okay with it...because it is a cult of personality.

  • No. That's not how he is. Cenk has said many many times that he does have a lot of confidence in Obama but he could change his mind about him. It just depends on how he decides to lead. If Obama did everything Bush did he wouldn't like him anymore and he wouldn't trust him just like he doesn't like or trust Bush. He's not the only one who feels this way about Bush either. Most of the country feels the same way about Bush.

  • Do I need to play for you back what Cenk said!

    What about the principle of attacking or not attacking Iran?

    What if Obama doesn't close Gitmo?

    What if Obama keeps the Patriot Act?

    Do you expect to be taken seriously?

  • If Obamo doesn't close Gitmo and keeps the Patriot Act Cenk would start to question him. Anybody would because Obama has said over and over that he's going to do both of things. But you know it doesn't really matter. I could argue with you all day long. You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change your mind. It's a waste of time.

  • You have no evidence to say such things.

    Cenk said he would accept attacking Iran if Obama did it.

  • Evidence? There are videos of Cenk saying that he trusts Obama but that could change. He has said he hopes he does what he promised but that Obama is a politician so we just have to wait and see. Go to the site and look at the videos. Got to go to work now but really nice talking to you.

  • Look, he never said anything that would outweigh what he said in this video.

  • "Look, he never said anything that would outweigh what he said in this video".

    Translation: Look, I'm too lazy to look at other TYT videos. I prefer to jump to conclusions that fit my preconceived notions, and if I can show a tiny portion of a video to make my point, I'll do it!

  • I've watched his show.  Many of his shows were pre-Obama winning.

    What he said was a cult of personality, not a policy decision.

  • If you watch TYT, you will notice that Cenk says a lot of things. Some of us are smart enough not to take him literally, but to understand the underlying message: that most Americans don't trust the Bush Administration to run foreign policy after they botched everything for 8 years. Big deal. This is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but have at it Hoss.

  • The underlying message is that if we attack Iran under Obama...let's give him a pass.

  • Uh no, that was not the underlying message. It would totally depend on WHY. His point is that generically speaking, he trusts Obama far more than Bush when it comes to foreign policy.

    As does anyone with an IQ over 50. Sorry to burst your bubble and better luck next time champ.

  • Look, just accept that you have no principles. If Obama says we're jumping off a cliff...you'll ask for his good intentions.

  • I suppose you believe God made the earth in six days too. Whatever; people who tune in to the show understand what he means.

  • I'm non-religious. You've just disqualified yourself from being worthy to further this discussion.

  • I agree that Obambi won because he had all of the mainstream media on his side.

  • The mainstream media went out in full force and took Republican Stronghold states in the general election, right?

    Obama won because of the failed policies of George W. Bush, McCain's constant association and backing of GWB's policies, the OBVIOUSLY terrible VP choice of Sarah Palin, McCain's inability to run any kind of positive campaign, and the American people's disgust at a collapsing wall street that Bushenomics perpetuated. MORE TAXES FOR THE POOR, MORE TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH!

    GTFO.

  • And about your argument about Saudi-Arabia or drilling in the USA:

    - Bush had nothing to gain by invading them, since they already sell their oil to the US, but hell of a lot to lose (Invasions/ occupations are very costly!)

    - There is no way the US can get all the oil it needs by drilling inside the USA, especially not at the same price! That oil would cost a lot more!

    Btw: Even Cheney himself admitted that oil was an important reason for the invasion!

  • You don't even realize how bad your argument is. Saudi Arabia jacks up the prices because of OPEC and they have no standing army. We could have just taken them over and blamed it on the highjackers being from S.A.

  • @ Advocate:

    Saudi Arabia always makes sure, that the price remains low enough to be very competetive in the global market.

    And that they don't have an army doesn't matter. Iraq barely had any army left and capitulated within days. And still the occupation costs hundereds of billion $! Occupying S.A. would cost even more. Remember, the Saudi are almost exclusively Sunni. And don't forget, that the most important places of Islam are in S.A.! Wanna pick a fight with a billion muslims? ;)

  • Nobody likes the Saudi royal family. Your arguments are terrible.

  • Yeah, not many Saudi like the royal family. You know why? Because they work with the US!!

    So the Saudi wouldn't thank the US for invading and removing the royal family, because they hate the USA even more!

    Why is it so hard for you to admit, that your argument is flawed? That the Bush administration didn't invade S.A. doesn't prove anything! Invading S.A. would have been the fastest way to become an outcast among all other nations and resulted in 1 billion muslims declaring war against you!

  • Nobody likes the Saudi royal family? Are you fucking joking. Bush's whole family are buddy-buddy with the Saudis. Have been for DECADES. There is a very good reason that Saudi oil comes mostly to us. We have very good ties with the Saudis and they give us good prices and huge amounts of fuel. Why would invade a friendly oil producing nation? It's illogical. If we were interested in expansion of our interests, Iraq or Iran would be the most logical place to start.

  • 1) The Bush family doesn't like them; it is a business relationship;

    2) My point was that the rest of the world could care less what happens to S.A.;

    3) We could just steal it all from S.A. very easily. It would save the time of negotiations.

  • This has nothing to do with the Bushes. Unlike other Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure was put in place by Americans back in the 50's. Most other countries were by England, Holland, and Norway. Also the Saudi Royal family understands that they only stay in power so long as they have petro dollars to spend on the populace. This is why the royal family loves Americans irregardless of who the president is, but the average Saudi does not.

  • And what's even more important:

    The US has a strategic interest that Iraq doesn't sell its oil to Russia or China! Iraq did just that before the invasion! Saudi Arabia on the other hand has already chosen their side and it's the USA. So why would Bush invade a country, that is governed by a regime, which is friendly toward the US?

  • We could drill for oil in our own shores genius.

  • Advocate, it's no big secret that the Bush administration wants the US to remain the only superpower. Oil is an important factor in this! Therefore it was important to prevent other potential superpowers from getting their hands on Iraqi oil! You can't do this by drilling on your own shores!

  • You've just disqualified yourself from being taken seriously.

  • You've disqualified yourself from being intelligent. If the Bush administrations objectives in Iraq were NOT oil control, then why the dog and pony show about WMDs? Come on man. It's ridiculous.

    And don't kid yourself that we could drill on our own shores solely. Much of our nature fuels have been explored. The remaining are only coastal, which take years to locate, drill and see results. Not only that, we wouldn't produce enough to matter. We use WAY too much to supply ourselves independently.

  • What?

    You just said that the WMD argument is necessary for us to get oil?!

    why isn't that self-serving.

    It is pathetic that my tax dollars were wasted to pay for your education.

    Cuba just discovered 20 billion barrels where Harry Reid declared it illegal for us to drill.

  • What are you talking about? The WMD argument is the reason behind the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Since it was clearly false, and the Bush Admin. simply pushed it forward (while sacrificing Colin Powell's political career in the process), there had to be an ulterior motive. Oil. What else could be the reason. There were no serious, US targeting terrorists in Iraq pre-Us occupation. So, if not oil, why did we go into Iraq? It's absurd that we started a war for crude oil.

  • What?! Every intelligence agency in the world thought there were WMDs. The British's official position still is that there were WMDs.

    Your movement to the oil argument is so disjointed, it is pathetic.

  • If our invasion of Iraq was about oil, why aren't we getting that much of it? Even in the days of Mossadiq, when the CIA overthrew him for trying to nationalize oil, we didn't get any. That is because the oil companies were British, not American. We were trying to keep England on our side of the cold war and Iran out of Soviet hands. All terrorist attacks targeted at Americans have come from either Libya, Iran, Al Qaeda, or other Americans. No where else.

  • Keep in mind which country sits between the two countries that we now occupy. Also keep in mind that both major parties see Iran as a threat and want to neutralize their nuclear program. We are now contending with the exact same problems with inspectors with regard to Iran as we had with Saddam. Had we not enforced the resolutions with regards to the inspectors (with or without actual WMDs), we could not make the same threats to Iran. And we have real history with Iran.

  • You think Cenk's statement has something to do with a cult of personality?!?

    Dude, you coudn't be more wrong about this! First, Cenk has been critical of Obama for a long time! The reason he trusts him now is, that Obama earned his trust with his behavior during the campaign! And on the other hand, Bush and McCain lost his trust because of their behavior, especially their dishonesty.

    His statement has nothing to do with trusting Obama blindly! (Remember: He was a Republican till 03!)

  • I knew the Young Turks-crew were just a bunch of pathetic hate-mongers but this is even crazy for them. Can't they just call themselves the Young Obama Apologists already? BTW, the most probable reason BObo would attack Iran would be because Iran had already nuked Israel while he was taking off the kettle from the fire, to get some of that nice hopey-changey tea of his.

    BObo is unqualified for foreign policy, and that's the main area a POTUS has an impact on. Joy.

    Obama Bought The Presidency

  • I would argue it's the economy. But BO is equally atrocious in such matters as well.

    Who do you think can beat him in 2012? I'm thinking Huckabee or Newt Gingrich. Someone to match BO's charisma.

  • @Peter:

    You call them hate-mongers? You obviously are a very, very, VERY lucky person!

    You probably have never encountered any hate or anything that comes even close of being hateful. Because if you had, you knew what hate and hate-mongering really looks like! And if you knew that, you wouldn't call the Young Turks hate-mongers.

    I know of several conservative radio hosts, who HATE all liberals (Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage)! The Young Turks on the other hand do not hate conservatives!

  • hypocrite fuck the young turkey fag

  • Wow. Well, this shouldn't shock me. If liberal democrat attacks a foreign country, everybody has no problem with it but when a conservative republican does that everyobdy hates you. This country is really stupid!

  • Oh Cenk, you've lost your mind. There is no way that I would support a war with Iran.

    If the anti-war Dems are so blinded by Obama, we're all in deep shit.

  • Get Your Boots On! Might Be a Good Idea To Build An Arc! they're That Dumb!

    they saw a cool guy & Didn't bother to listen, to what he said or did!

  • Hey rebel, I understand the sentiment, but I think it would be really nifty if we stopped grouping all people together and labeling them "dumb".

    Believe me, Dems do it too, and I find it just as grating. I'm not a political party kind of person, I vote each candidate on their merits, but tend to have lean more conservative on many things.

    He's not a dumb guy, just blinded by hope after all the BS.

    Just think of the unfettered power BO will have, thanks to GW Bush.

    It goes both ways. :(

  • Exactly! Issues! NOT Race!

    BS Is All they Have!

    It Just Doesn't Make Sens To Me.

    GOD BLESS, ALL TRUE PATRIOTS!

    Let The Resistance, Begin!

  • Indeed it shall. Indeed it has.

  • Ya think Cenk would of held everyone accountable... but he's just a stooge for the democrats. He really doesnt know much about politics in the first place and his show is basically just for useless gossip.

  • we caN DO NO evil. the Nazis thought the same thing.

  • This fucking "Turk" doesn't have brain that exists independently from that phony black piece of shit who was elected by a bunch of ignorant fool Americans.

  • Qtronman fucks Ayn Rand blowup dolls while his wife sits in the corner and eats egg rolls.

  • "Qtronman fucks Ayn Rand blowup dolls while his wife sits in the corner and eats egg rolls."

    You're seriously mentally ill.

  • "But, I swear, if you say anything about my wife again, I will hunt you down. I will find you out. I will dig you up, and I will punish you exactly the amount you need to be punished."

    Well where the fuck are you, tough guy?

  • Look, the multiple identity thing you got going is a little too obvious.

  • If it's so obvious, tell me who my other identity is.

  • Do you have to take classes to be this stupid?

    They must be hollywood Liberal classes, judging by your inept amorality.

    Kindly,

    Die.

  • Poor, hopeful, blind fools that get sucked in by dime a dozen shills and pundits. They need some kind of anti-lala drug to snap 'em out of it...

  • The Young Turks had already announced that they are totally Pro Obama a long long time ago. So why are you all suprised in what they say?

    Just like McCain had totally Pro supportes of his own.

  • Your argument is horribly flawed. There was no cult of personality of McCain where people would support him no matter what he did.

    In fact, most of the supporters of McCain, including myself, agreed with McCain on very little.

    Had McCain supported something I didn't support, I would trash him for it.

    Cenk went off the deep end.

  • This turk guy scares me more than Bill O'Reilly. Check out his channel, his unconditional support reaches a whole new level. Something is seriously wrong with that guy, wouldn't surprise me if he's on a payroll.

  • What he said there is indeed pathetic; equally pathetic is your attempt to turn what he said into a blanket accusation. Get serious.

  • The Russians/Chinese will not put up with an attack on Iran. The US has gotten way too big for it's britches. If push comes to shove, who will win a nuclear war? There has not been nuclear war on this planet for 10,000 years. We don't need a revival. Watch "Doctor Strangelove" again and think about the rationale of nuclear war.

  • oh hell like gwar said fuck the o-zone bring back the bomb

  • What The Hell? Kennidy Got Us Into VietNam! Johnson, Kept Us There! Both Democrats! President Nixon, A Republican! Got Us Out! President Buch, Had Good Intentions In Iraq! We've Gotten No Oil From Iraq! Infact We Got Rid of One of The Deadliest Dictators of Our Time! Saved A Bunch of Lives! The President Is The President? If He Decides War Is Nessisary Then Dammet Sepport Him! Yes I'll Sepport, osamabama/beracula, Berrack Hussain Obama! In This! Iran Must Not Have Nukes!
  • If It's WAR Then Fight It Like a WAR!

    NOT A Police Action!

    Hid 'im Hard! Hit'im Fast!

    Blitskrieg!

    GOD BLESS, ALL TRUE PATRIOTS!

  • Wars are a fact of life. And we should win.

  • HELL YEA! GO FIGHT WIN!

    Hit 'im Hard & Hit 'im Fast!

    Get In, Kick Ass & Leave!When We Feel Like It!

  • dude the ms 13, the crips, the bloods, the serenos , the nortenos,18th street, the Latin kings, los avanetas, the kkk, and the nazi skinhead extremists, are in the usa military due to the 2nd amendment right of association so next time you pass by that bad neighborhood watch out for purple heart wearing gangsters instead of some racist rightist people spoutin about the war

  • This is so aggravating! Politics in America have gone fucking awry...
