Cenk i love your videos but i have to give this video a thumbs down. iran is the worlds 3rd biggest oil and 2nd biggest gas producer. there is a reason the US has not attacked yet. think about it.
@bluelondon But Cenk didnt diminish Iran in anyway except the fact US has a much stronger military. The only reason Iran hasnt been attacked is the rivalry with Russia and China. Iraq has many oil supplies too, but were attacked because they had no alliance with foreign powers ;in other words, it made it easier to initiate the war.
Who knows what to believe about that incident. But the irony is that Iran DOES have the capability to sink warships except that it would not use small boats like those shown. That's why I don't believe the US Navy's version of the story.
why would they? they already are playing with fire by fighting a proxy war with Israel with funding terrorists groups. Sooner or later, Israel is going to hit back, hard.
@hint0122 they fund Hezbollah, thats it. Their not stupid, only a moron would use nukes unless. They won't use them if they have them unless they have absolutely no choice. As a matter of fact Israel has nukes and I'm sure they would use them much faster than Iran would.
@Terrorkarel Thats because even a dog is smater that you redneck....even a dog understant portuguese...they are very smart here,do you know?Now,go and kiss you boss ass,that is bush..Hope you will end in irak and die and then ou can bush is OK..
Your completely missing the point of what I said. First of all I'm not a redneck, second I'm not a redneck, third I'm not from the USA and fourth most important of all Bush is a moron. I was commenting on how Iran is just blowing hot air with their anti-Israel rhetoric. I guess my comment wasn't clear enough
Iran was a threat, Iran is a threat, and Iran will continue to be a threat...lol sounds like the old Bret Hart chant:best there is, best there was, best there ever will be
The speaker needs to acknowledge the consequences on BOTH sides if conflict were to emerge...Iran could cause more U.S. casualties with their ballistic missiles in a matter of minutes than we've see in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam combined.
Besides all this, we simply can NOT afford a war with Iran with our current economic state.
@jeffmay1 you're a moron, he does have his own show, hes on XM satellite radio, in Canada the young turks is on sat TV, and i'm pretty sure its on sat in the states too...over 200,000 viewers a night, not counting radio listeners and PodCast, but yea he just loves pretending
the usa loves war , they love to kill , and provoke other countrys just so they can kill more , they are pure killers , the usa will be the one to start world war 3 , they have started every war in history
A young Iranian soldier, arrested late last week for allegedly stealing weapons for opposition groups, was killed in custody & his body returned to his family on Saturday, sources in Teheran said.
The sources said the bodies of several dissidents, arrested in the course of anti-regime protests in Iran, had also been returned to their families in the past few days.
Several of the bodies bore signs of beatings, the sources said.
Bush is going 2 find a way 2 go 2 war with Iran...hes gunna set sumthin up and then blame it on Iran. hell defy public majority and do it. hes a fuqqn idiot and the boats were a setup 2.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WOW. speedboats are not a threat? Ummm what type of boat was used to blow a huge fucking hole in the USS Colt? ok times up it was a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) like the size of a rubber fishing boat. and they would get shot at? ummmm wrong again. our sentrys on the ship are mandated by the Geneva Convention not to have loaded rifles. Our rules of engagement states that a war ship has to be fired upon for us to return fire. again your an ignorant asshole with a shitty leftwing show.
Big deal are Americans so scared that the site of a speed boat is going to lead them into war, they shouldn't be there in the first place. Do you see Arab Gun ships off the coast of MIAMI? or in the NY Harbor how well would the American deal with that?
Bush has the exact mentality of a four year old. When you want something just kick and scream and cry until you finally get your way...regardless of how big of a burden what you want is on everybody else.
bush is the school yard bully. eventually all the other kids are going to get tired of the bully and get together and kick the bullys ass. russian, chinese, iranian coalition?? perhaps
concerning the film footage... must be a couple thousand US sailors right there that can support the story either way. as for a dem pres retaliating... who you kidding? you americans have short memories
Iran's nuclear program was actually so they could make Nuclear Power and not having to use oil to make energy. The Iran people are actually not bad people, but mainly the Iran Government puts a lot of restriction on the people. Look on YouTube for the video's named "Inside Iran" maybe your views will change.
are you whacked? iran with nuclear power means a guaranteed airstrike by israel. any idea what that will do to distablize the middle east? your liberal support of iran is touching but i'll remind you, even hitler was once considered for the nobel peace prize. nominated by a bleeding heart liberal like yourself
No....Iran will never have nuclear power! For the love of God, it's not going to happen! Quit comparing Ahmadinejad to Hitler...if you really research Hitler, you would know that if there was going to be a Hitler, it would come from a powerful country like the US or Europe or Russia or China, but NOT IRAN!! The only country to fear would be Russia or China!
Israel the country who ignores all international law, Secretly sitting on US made Nukes and illegally occupying Palestinian land regularly bulldozing with US made machines the Palestinian homes. Wouldn't you want a nuke with neighbors like this? No one likes Israel except the US, this love of Israel has cause the death of over 5000 US soldiers and more to come. STOP sucking the circumcised dicks of Israel and worry about your own.
The "Palestinian homes" you refer to are the homes of terrorists, or they have tunnels in their basements that are used to smuggle arms. If Israel didn't have nuclear weapons they would be pretty silly - they have been attacked by Arab countries 4 times in their short history. There is no such thing as Palestinian land because the country Palestine does not exist. Those calling themselves Palestinians have consistently refused all opportunities for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
only RON PAUL knows the truth...the other Dems will continue the war. They haven't stopped or gone against Bush yet, with the exception Kucinich. They rest of the Dems and Reps are bought and paid for scum.
First of all Bush is all talk when it comes to Iran ,they signed a Oil pack with China. They are in about 3 years going to be one of the main suppliers of Oil to China. If you think for one min we are going to Fuck with China and their oil deal guess again.
Yeah....Russia and China has Iran's back! It's sad to cheer for the other side, but what can you do?? Bush has gone fuckin crazy! Please AMERICA, give us a President to stand behind!!
The intelligence report just issued says that Iran stopped their enrichment program in 2003. Bush Jr must have known this for at LEAST six months and yet his tone was unchanged, it's still unchanged. This guy is a loose cannon.
Yes, exactly he knew what the report said and they kept up the rhetoric because that is what has caused Iran to pause their research.
But many people believe that the white house felt that Mr. Bush's "world war three" statements had raised the rhetoric to much and so the NIE was released to let off some steam without Mr. Bush himself having to admit it.
Don't really believe it. If anything America's epic failure in Iraq has emboldened the Iranians. They know that the Americans don't want to try that again.
That America after Iraq realized they had fucked up immensely and had gone after the wrong country? They adjusted their rhetoric accordingly and that international pressure may have had it's effect. If the USA had gotten the right country in the first place It would have had a bigger bat behind the door to threaten with instead of the broken one they have now.
Iran seems to want to pick a fight. True lots of neo-cons are really pushing for war against Iran but Iran's rather arrogant attitude i not helpful either.
Oh really? We were not arrogant for overthrowing their government and installing a dictator? Then we enabled this Shaw to have a secret police that terrorized it's own citizens? We were not arrogant by allowing Saddam to attack Iran and giving him arms to do so? Then we sanction them like crazy.. Iran has not attacked anybody in over 100 years... How big of threat are they? Look how many conflicts we've been involved with in the last 100 years. It's really us with the arrogant attitude here.
"Shaw" I guess you mean "Shah". Yes, you are right, America is very much the arrogant global empire. Iran wants to use its regional power, but the US stops them. So they are both guilty of trying to increase their influence in the mid-east. You shouldn't see this in a good guy/bad guy perspective.
remember the cr@p reich-wingers gave Clinton for "not doing anything about the Cole"
when was that? october 12, 2000
what the F did Bush/Cheney do about that reich-wingers? why aren't you screaming your heads off about that? why aren't you reich-wingers pissing your pants running around in little circles about the fact that Bush did not bring ONE person to court about ANY of this mess?
