Iran, Iran So Far Away

[miazagora]

Israel can take care of Iran if THEY think Iran is a threat to them. We've paid for their Army with our treasure - no blood for another pre-emptive war on behalf of our "allies". No way. Ron Paul, 2012!

[Cheguevara831]

Democracy in Iran

by democracy we mean not only free elections but also free press, free speech, a functioning judicial system, civil liberties, equality to women, free international travel, exposure to international media, internet and ideas, laws against racial incitement and against defamation.

[miazagora]

@Cheguevara831 Let Iranians fight for "democracy" (which is an evil form of government, BTW - the US is a Constitutional Republic, and not a democracy). Leave us out of it.

[knowAnonymity]

P.S.- I say Great Britain but I mean, under direction of the Elite of Great Britain.

[knowAnonymity]

Note, I did not state tha America retains power of global resources, I stated the "elite" retain power. The elite have no borders, the world is their oyster, this nation or that nation is of no consequence to them but for the resources. The elected President of the Islamic REPUBLIC of Iran claims the State of Israel is being run by those who claim to be Jews but are not and claims that America is being run by those who claim to be Christian but or not. He is not antisemitic or anti-west.

[therealaj123]

Unfortunately, the fact that somebody has told untruths in the past is no proof him him telling untruths in a different case. The Iraq War WMD case is no justification for a general conspiracy theory mindset regarding the federal government, it is simply a result of your own paranoia.

[CommonsenseYou]

USA steps to the country that have no clue about the history, language, relegions.. none. Obama missed the movement of iranian in 2009 !! If you need human right, something must have been done. Otherwise enjoy the war and bloody Oil !!

Let Islamic Iranian government to serve you this blood as they are all criminals .

[maxine2win]

I'm sure I'd disagree with the SAs view on many topics but not this one.

A great video.

[zg76]

I see only ignorance and stupidity on your side. Offending someone isn't argument for sure.

[zg76]

Tz! It is NOT!!!

A hostile act is an attack or other use of force. In this sense:"Force used DIRECTLY to preclude or impede the mission and/or duties of US forces, including the recovery of US personnel and vital US Government property. When a hostile act is in progress the right exists to use proportional force, including armed force, in SELF-DEFENSE".

[zg76]

/:-(

[zg76]

The only "justification" for war is you being attacked. Iraq never committed an act of aggression towards US!! End of story.

[pete49]

what happened to north korea nuke

[l8rthen]

sa, soz, you are committing logical fallacies here. Neocons got their comeuppance. New admin now. Intel ismore checked out now for that very reason.

[svenp]

The problem with the boy who cried wolf was that after a while no one listened, even when the threat was real...

I think Iran really is trying to make a bomb. It's only natural that they would, having it is a tremendous power and prestige enhancer regardless of any intent to use it.

Technologically, they are at the point where they *could* build one, so it's really just a matter of whether they want to or not.

[givemegurl]

Iran has no nukes, They do not posses any real threat, ahmadinejad never said Iran will erase Israel from the map. You are being tricked into another pointless war for Israel.

[DEO70817]

to the person who made this video...

Your intel. is flawed...also,maybe you should have watched the UN address by Irans President and others...yes our Gov't has sold us out on more than one occasion..but putting bullshit propaganda out like this only fuels more dissent and anger...

[jasonphos]

While many facts and statements in this video are very true, I don't agree with the principal theme.

Let us consider the boy who cried wolf: When the wolf actually came, no one listened to him.

Weapons of Mass destruction are comparable to the wolf from the old fable. And my point is: We don't need to stop checking on potential Weapons of Mass Destruction, just because the first time they cried wolf.

[mmyr123]

Wow you read my mind.....

[ronheri]

It appears that we just go from one lying administration to the next, almost seamlessly. What is tragic is that we the people who are also the victims of their evil, will pay the karmic debt right along with them. Pure evil from Wall St. to Congress, right up to the White House. I pray that God takes mercy on us.

[sibkiss2009]

I agree with the Southernavenger. We need to not be fooled again, no no!

[silencemagazine]

Excellent

[midwestcharm]

The next major involvement should be a mass war crimes trials for the people or institutions that have created war in Iraq and Afghanistan

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Southern Avenger: Couldn't have said it better myself. It's time the American people wake up and realize the enemy within.

[Finiras]

its their intention to fuck up iran's population, so that they will become more aggressive against western countries and give them more public support for an invasion

[werebear1]

I remember immediately following the invasion of Iraq, Iraqis where saying "Bring Saddam back! We where better under him than now" referring to the US occupation that annihilated over a million Iraqi civilians in order to open way for more than 10 US military bases to protect the Mosul-Haifa pipeline (that pipeline taking petroleum all the way to Israel). Do i have to say who benefited? What a coincidence that most of the people making calls for war against Iraq and (soon) Iran ARE zionists.

[AntiFed1791]

Lets simple it down for neocon disciples: Government is bad. Mkay? Don't trust it. Ever. Mkay? Just ask the founding fathers of this country. Oh. Right. You don't believe in that.

[JohnnyBFree]

Excellent wok Sir!

[tonysshadow]

DUMB...DUMB!

What is a WMD?

Ooops!...ONE canister of bio-agent was fgound.... able to kill 60,000.

ONE BOMB!... reported only once.

My question... who only makes one bomb? Who only makes one rifle?

[hammerofuglytruth]

We have to commit economic suicide all in the name of keeping mighty Israel safe.

[ZapruderJr]

Sorry, "GOP"

[ZapruderJr]

Thank you! The Dems and the GOB both SUCK! Throw em out!

[bambizzoozled]

ya don't get fooled again

[GeorgeWashingtonX]

In my opinion, the real problem is that members of both parties are often beholden to the Zionist lobby & interests.. and the so-called 'neo-cons' are also militant Zionists.. so we have a Federal Government power structure that is essentially a full-time security guard for the state of Israel.. and I'm not saying this to slander Jewish ppl. I'm simply stating that we have no objectivity in our power structure to offset or dispute the idea that we HAVE to always attack Israel's enemies.

[leafwatch]

I think you're way too soft on US politicians. If Israel didn't even exist, the same power-hungry elite would still be selling out to corporations and Wall Street, the same central banking cartel would still be minting counterfeit money and pawning it off on the rubes (us ordinary folk.)

And the various factions would still be making wars, each trying to grab all the goodies for its own criminal political gang.

[GeorgeWashingtonX]

LeafWatch,

hi..,I dont think you can characterize my statement as being 'soft on US politicians'..I'm identifying them as puppets (for the Zionist lobby.)

I agree with you, that with or without Israel, US politicians would still be suceptible to corruption,still be suceptible to war-mongering etc.. but our most recent foreign policy conflicts with the Middle East/Iran (imo) are rooted in our unconditional (and unnecessary) support of Israeli state. why do we NEED to keep fighting for Israel?

[leafwatch]

I'm just saying Israel isn't some unusual boogeyman state, only one of a crowd of them:

the US, Britain, China, a handful of African countries, and various saber-rattlers in South America. We're surrounded by hit men politicians the world over.  The people of the world will not be safe as long as they keep electing or submitting to all war lords.

People need to get over the childlike belief these elites mean us well. We're just slaves and canon fodder to their party.

[ajr5086]

I have to say this is the most engaging video, that really made me think, that didn't say one I didn't already now.

I can't say that I never of a connection in Pre-war Iraq crisis and the current Iran crisis, but I guess that I never put too much thought to it before. I don't even think I have a position on the matter this time...other than no fucking damn war this time.

[zombiechaddy]

Great stuff! Sharing this with everyone.

[mikaylan33]

outstanding !

[ulsterscot]

Iran has been at war with the west for many years now, it fights a proxy war with israel, has called for the destruction of israel and believes in trying to bring about the return of the 12th imam.....yea....lets just give him his nukes, how about giving them to sudan and somalia after...

[buceriasbo]

no israel wants to wipe the whole goyim world off the map. hanging zionist traitors is not anti-semitic

[wolfhybred]

Ulterscot. You are one of the morons that swallow the government and media propaganda. if you do some research you will find that the supposed quote of Ahmedidejad saying he wanted to wipe Israel of the map is a lie. WWhat hes actually said was entirely different. You look it up. I want people like you to learn how to find to learn instead of being brainwashed, What he said was not even a threat. Keep in mind Iran had not attacked another country in over 200 years and have no weapon.

[ulsterscot]

Yea yea, ahmadinejad, or 'ahmedidejad' as you would say, is really just a nice guy.

"Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."...thats one of many quotes. Iran killed jews in buenos aires, helped arm hezbollah and hamas and have sent out international fatwas against publishers, translators and other such infidels....the longer we leave it the bloodier it will be. regards

[shoelessjohn]

Whether or not he is a nice guy is irrelevant. Whether or not he likes Israel is irrelevant.

Spending U.S. tax money for a middle east war presence IS relevant. It is not our war.

If the citizens of Israel are nervous about their children's future, they should get their heads out of their religious books and move.

If they know it's dangerous, yet choose to stay, they get what they deserve.

[rawnie79]

BINGO.

[DCUPtoejuice]

[adiamalcontent1]

Very well said.

[sidrosteel]

Great job as usual. 5 stars!

[JojahBoy]

Glad to see Mr.SouthernAvenger not implicitly nodding towards a foreign policy of intervention as was the case with his bowing at the altar of Keegan. It's the same thing over and over.

Gulf of Tonkin - come to find out it's a lie

Sinking of the Lusitania - come to find out there were tons of ammo in the cargo so it was a legitimate military target...another lie.

FDR may have even known about Pearl Harbor.

Operation Northwoods.

Why does anyone listen to these corrupt motherfuckers?

[DoomHippie]

WTF? Iran filed the all the non-proliferation agreement paperwork for that site, and the Gov. has know about it for years! Yet we're all ready to chastise them for EVERYTHING they do, regardless of the legality of it!

[DoomHippie]

Love the name!

[DCUPtoejuice]

avenger borrowed that from SNL song about mahmoud ahmadinejad

[AntiFed1791]

The real threat to America is its own government. Time is up. Stop cooperating with the crooks in D.C.

State sovereignty now!

[TheInvaderBN]

Couldn't agree more.

[Steadno]

no more american blood for is-ra-el!

[MRSketch09]

@Video

I started to say, it seems like when it comes to government everyone gets Alzheimer, but truth of the matter is, that's how much government affects everyone's life, very little that is. Another words everyone gets by in there day to day life just fine without someone telling them directly what to do. Well that's one theory.

Were also taught in school to accept what were told by teachers, and there not wrong.. etc. So... that could be another thing that carries through to adult hood.

[VonHelton]

SA, I certainly have no love for BUSH or CLINTON, but Saddam *DID* have WMD's. We know this because he used them on the Kurds.

(REUTERS).

Having said that, it needs to be pointed out that WMD's are/were number 43 out of 43 reasons to go into IRAQ.

(NY TIMES, AP, BOSTON GLOBE)

The *real* question is this: Why did the NWO-controlled media focus on WMD's when there were 42 *OTHER* reasons for going into IRAQ?

[eelzen]

I agree 100%. The USA telling anyone they can't have nukes is the definition of hypocrisy and arrogance.

Considering some of Iran's neighbors have nukes, Iran would be nuts not to want to join the mad crazy nationalistic party we call Mankind.

[VonHelton]

No, arrogance would be sitting idly by while these muslim countries nuke one of out allies.

[da324]

Iran has about 5% capabilities of a nuke. If you are talking about our friends from Israel? Well, they have hundreds of nukes and can take care of themselves. It's not our job to take care of everyone, Read the Consitution and educate yourself on the proper time for war. No, arrogance is trying to dictate policies in other countries when our leaders can't even run this country. Oh, and it will bankrupt us too.

[VonHelton]

You *ASSUME* Iran only has 5%.......

[da324]

Well, that's what inspectors have said. Besides, who the fuck are we to tell anyone they can't have nuclear weapons. We're the only country to ever use them on another country and then we tell someone they can't have ONE. This country is so fucking hypocritical it makes me sick.

[Silvsilvchan]

You *ASSUME* Iran even has 5%. No one can be 100% (Lawl percentages) sure of anything.

[ryanthomastew]

See my comments to VonHelton. Iran produces low grade enriched uranium not highly enriched weapons grade uranium.

[ryanthomastew]

the IEAE has inspected and continues to inspect ALL of Iran's nuclear facilities. They are producing Low Grade Enriched Uranium which is ONLY useful for producing nuclear energy. Their facilities are not setup to produce Highly Enriched Uranium which is weapons grade stuff. 

Israel has anywhere from 65-300 nukes but nobody in the public place really knows b/c Israel won't let the IAEA in their country to inspect their nuclear facilities.

[eelzen]

I doubt we would sit idly by if any country (Muslin, Christian, or whatever) nuked one of our allies. But if we did, the word "arrogance" would not be a word I'd use to explain it.

[rockhardxrocker]

Ok all of these actions might not be constitutional/moral/etc. but do any of you feel it is necessary to maintain our power and standard of living? Are there alternatives? We consume infinitely more than we produce, why else would a world fuel us if it weren't for our military might, or other means of exploitation?

[VonHelton]

We've had knowledge of "free energy" options for YEARS. There's no reason to consume fossil fuels at all.

The reason we still do is because that's how the global elite get their money. If we could draw energy out of the air any time we wanted (See Nickolai Tesla), the elite would lose TRILLIONS of dollars every year.

[rockhardxrocker]

Ok even if this were true (I'm aware of Tesla and I don't think he got the recognition he deserves for his contributions) even if we had relatively free energy, that still does not dismiss our need for workers to use this energy to build consumer goods. We still need people to reap wheat for us, make cars, etc. Eventually this can be replaced by robots, but even then there would still be a need for a kind of control. If everyone is equally rich, how could an old man coax a young girl into bed?

[Slatteryan]

Great stuff! The non-interventionist foriegn policy was the hardest thing for me to accept as I had been brainwashed by neo-conservative ideas for all my life. Now that I embrace it, I cannot believe why anyone wouldn't!

Keep up the good work!

[rockhardxrocker]

flock of seagulls !!! HAHA didn't know they had seagulls there in Iran.

[bjorinn]

Unfortunately for the American people the US will go under finacially. On the other hand, this might be the only way to stop the insanity of the US foreign policy.

[l8rthen]

southernavenger, I have to disagree with you here. It is a logical fallacy to say because it was true in Iraw, it was true for iran. The same crowd is NOt in power today. Moussavi is a change in power, but he too has bloody hands.

You can do better than this.

[xleax]

Me thinks southernavenger is naive. Iraq did pose a serious threat something even Mr. Clinton realised when he signed the 'Iraq liberation act'.

Now that the Iraq war is basically won, you guys keep pounding on Iraq on last year's news. It's not right.

[Xasew]

Iraq posed a threat? What are you, completely blind to the obvious?

The Iraq war was won? What's this, some sort of sick joke? The whole thing was a disaster.

[xleax]

If nothing else the Iraqi people have been liberated from a dictator.. and that's a lot.

The war's been won, the US troops started pulling out and will be out totally in 2 years.

[da324]

Who implimented that dictator? Uhm, think hard now.. Also, if you think the war in Iraq has been won, then you have no concept of reality.

[xleax]

Coming from an apparent conspiracy theorist like yourself, that's a compliment.

[VonHelton]

I don't need to be a conspiracy theorist, all I need to do is read the Koran. The Koran is a book of WAR. It's goal is to conquer & enslave the entire world.

Do you really think Israel is the only "infidels" muslims wanna kill?

[da324]

"It's goal is to conquer & enslave the entire world" Oh, you mean like the central bankers who are more than happy to fund endless fucking wars which in turn enslaves nations through debt. You've read the Koran, but have you read the Consitution before? Doesn't sound like it...

[xleax]

The answer is no, and I didn't reply to your comment before.

[MagnusIan]

"Now that the Iraq war is basically won, you guys keep pounding on Iraq on last year's news."

How in the FUCK is the Iraq War "won"!?

[xleax]

Iraq has an elected government, violence is down and Iraqis are on the path to defending themselves against terrorists in two years, when the US troops will be out.

[Xasew]

Ah, the ignorance. Saddam Hussein actually kept terrorists at bay and had nothing but hatred for them. But in your world he was probably just another "bad guy" that you can lump together with the rest, right?

The terrorist problem was created by the invasion, an elected government simply means that the majority gets to oppress the minority and the fact that violence is down from an all-time high is a pathetic argument(violence is still much higher than before the invasion...).

[xleax]

"elected government simply means that the majority gets to oppress the minority"

Wow a Marxist victim/perpetrator view of the world. Who knew?

Yes Saddam was a bad guy and it's good that he's gone. However, It's sad that Marxism, that has killed tens of millions of people, isn't gone.

[spyletu]

whatever. our government has sent more civilian contractors there to replace the military personnel withdrawn so far. their infrastructure has been destroyed, millions of civilians have been displaced, maimed, or killed. there are countless other dictatorships around the world, we destroyed this place and killed millions in this place and before there is any tangible evidence that this government can even stand on its own, there are people who already claim this a victory. you're fucking nut

[spyletu]

oh ya and something that wasn't so blatantly obvious.. the war has almost directly contributed to our financial crisis because of the aggressive policy central bank took on to fight this war that exhausted our resources. just thought i would provide that fact to save you an extra course in your community college.

[xleax]

The loan policy pushed by some Democrats (and largely ignored by Republicans) that gave loans to people who couldn't pay them back is what caused this loan mortgage bubble to pop.

Millions of victims? What is this 'make-up-your-facts-day'? Come on..

America has provided them with financial support by helping to rebuild in Iraq.

By the way, fighting terrorists who can blow everyone up, if they get nukes, is far more important than anything else.

[werebear1]

To rebuild what the Americans destroyed you mean? Is that support?? Would have been better if they didn't destroy anything in the first place. And tell me,. how about the plundering of their museums, and when are those assholes sitting in NY and Israel going to return those priceless artifacts that where stolen?

Where not democrats voted in twice to stop the war?

And remember the sanctions imposed during the Clinton administration that resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 Iraqi civilians?

[xleax]

In short: Iraqis are better off now then they were under the dictator Saddam.

[spyletu]

right, voiding this world of everything or anyone that does not like you and may pose a danger to you is actually possible. and the world is actually small enough that you can accomplish that without depleting every bit of your own resources. next thing you're gonna tell me is that the earth is flat.  xleax don't get me wrong, even though you think something so ridiculous is possible, i have no problem if it is your own resource and life you're spending.

[spyletu]

that means if there is no direct taxation, inflation tax or a draft on anyone else, in case even that plain bit proves confusing.

[xleax]

Last time I checked most of the US army choose to go into the army.

[spyletu]

ya and their family paid for 100% of all the military weapons used. they didn't go in carrying an american flag so they avoided all the hatred that was a contributing factor for 911 in the first place. and they didn't deplete our nation's resource so much that they have contributed to our 10% unemployment rate right now.

[xleax]

The loaning of large sums of money to people who couldn't pay them back is what (primarily) caused the financial crisis.

[spyletu]

please use the minutes it took you to respond to look up how borrowing 800 billion from the chinese, 800 billion from the japanese and 100 billion from SAUDIS to finance our welfare AND war contributed to the inflating of our asset bubbles and devaluation of currency. also please look up how the central bank monetizing debt by issuing new currencies to help finance the war contributed to the asset bubble (mortgage is part of them). Thank you.

[xleax]

The heavy borrowing of the USA that we see now, is the effect of the crisis - not it's cause. The subprime mortgage crisis is the cause.

[Xasew]

My views have nothing to do with Marxism. Besides, isn't the Marxist view about capitalists exploiting workers?

You think an elected government means something? The invasion made the Sunni-Shia divide deeper than ever, and regardless of who's in power, it's a mess. Does voting change the whole culture? The Shi'ites are going to forgive everything and it's a happy end from there?

Didn't think so.

[xleax]

It's not going to be utopia that's for sure, but it's better than under Saddam.

[ryanthomastew]

How many Iraqis have died under U.S. led occupation?

How many died under the 30-40 year reign of Saddam?

[Silvsilvchan]

This is the catch 22.

Saddam killed some where in the vicinity of 50,000-100,000 civilians. That is not acceptable.

... as a result of our sanctions and war in Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War we've easily broken the million marker.

But hey, so long as Saddam isn't killing a person a day, a dozen people dying a day from the chaotic violent state they are in is acceptable?

[xleax]

And how many of those Iraqis were killed by their own people.. by Islamic radicals?

You still hear it on the news today. Every month a bus load of kids goes up in flames.

[Xasew]

No it's not. Not by any standard.

[xleax]

Huh? Saddam was an dictator that would execute or torture dissenters.

Yeah I guess it was better under him, you genius.

[Xasew]

Have these things stopped? Is there any indication that they will stop anytime soon? No.

The only difference is that now there's MORE of it and it's done mostly by local governments. Obviously the main government doesn't care(because elected leaders aren't always nice guys) and couldn't stop these things if it did.

You clearly have no idea about what goes on in Iraq, so please stop posting?

[xleax]

The Iraqis will be able to defend themselves with their own army and the US will be out soon..

..and that is what you and Ron Paul want.

[dan99503]

You are so scared and worried like a little coward about what is happening over there. Try and notice that you are getting fascism in your own back yard. You have heard the phrase don't throw rocks when you are in a glass house? The US is the glass house right now, If you want to remain "free" you better wake that brain of yours up.

[xleax]

The only beef I have with Paul is his take on the war on terror.

I'm all for smaller government and a conservative fiscal policy.

What's the use of being free when there's jihadist nukes flying in your back yard?

[zg76]

Where are those jihadist nukes?? Since when is Iran US back yard?

Hove did US dealt with thousands of communistic nukes?

As he sad, terrorism is tactic, hove can you have war on tactic!?

[xleax]

You don't understand, this terrorism is driven by religious fundamentalism. When they get their hands on nukes, they'll even blow themselves up to achieve the goal, something the atheist communists would never do.

[zg76]

Man, I am from Bosnia don't talk to me about Islamic fundamentalism, trust me I know thing or two about those things. And that hypothetical scenario of Iran having nukes doesn't equal Al-Qaeda having them!

To achieve what?

[xleax]

Bull. Iran wants to whipe Israel off the map. And considers America to be the "great Satan".

So go figure.. Ne bodi naiven.

[zg76]

Since when is Israel 51. state of USA??

Let as be serious for a change, Israel is, thanks God, more then capable of defending itself. They have been battling almost all Arab states for 60years. Its estimated to possess between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads! So "wipe out" of Israel is unrealistic.

Don`t generalize, we have seen hove strong opposition in Iran is to current government. So help them by having sanctions removed.

Its: Ne budi naivan.

[xleax]

When did I imply that Israel is somehow connected to USA? I didn't. I just said what the Iranian president has said. He wants to whipe out Israel and think America is "the great Satan".

The reason Iran can't have nuclear weapons is that he might as well do it, and then a lot of people will die.

I know. Govoril sem slovensko.

[zg76]

Why did you mention Israel then? :) We are very familiar with demagogy of brainless statesman, aren't we. But if you want to be realistic, Iran poses threat to none.

America has caused that resentment. Shah of Iran, 1953, years of sanctions... remember? (or take Bosnia, you are more familiar with situation here, now Muslims say America saved Serbs in 95. by stopping them, to Serbs America is guilty for everything and Croats feel sold out)

Do what, come ooon..

Oprostite drog :)

[xleax]

I meantion the anti-Isreal sentiment in Iran because genocide is not acceptable. And if they get nukes there's a high probability something bad's going to go down.

Nah I'm not buying the America blaming for evil kinda idea. Sometimes there's just no easy solution.

[zg76]

As I sad,any middle east country attacking Israel must reckon with its annihilation.And if you still thing that this is realistic or highly probable scenario,we can`t discuss it any farther.

[zg76]

I can't post further comment, I don't know why. But look up for Americas involvement in Iran's coup.

[zg76]

"Clandestine Service History—Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran—November 1952August 1953",the CIA INTERNAL HISTORY of the USs 1953 Iranian coup d'état.

[xleax]

Yes it's a realistic scenario. If America protected Israel, I'm sure that would be turned around into 'America is the evil one' as it always is, as evidenced by this comment section.

[zg76]

Nooo.. , you are wrong. See hove you are unfamiliar with real conservatives or libertarians for that matter of fact. We do not use trivial nonsense and children talk.

It is as realistic as now comet wiped out.

[xleax]

Well, I hope you're right. Time will tell.

[cgraham1930]

really? jihad nukes in our backyard? i must have missed that headline. don't let a couple 9-11 plane-jackings (about as hard as to do as a car jacking) make you think nuclear war with the arab nations is going to happen tomorrow. If i'm proven wrong, then our military would surely prevail, but not if it's spread around the world policing a bunch of "maybe threats."

[xleax]

I say they might develop and come here.. sa through Mexico.

[zg76]

And how is that going to happen?? As if its easy just like that to develop such a sophisticated weapon! And hove is provoking them and sending American troops from US borders over there gonna help??

[xleax]

How is that going to happen? One word: Money.

The only provocation is the one in your head.

[zg76]

mhmmm...

now that's a rational argument.

[xleax]

On one side you got a certain president [of Iran] who wants to annihilate Israel and on the other side you got a president [of USA] that wants peace. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's the provocateur.

[zg76]

black and white view of the world does not impress me. The Bush talk and propaganda you should leave over in this conversation.

[xleax]

Suit yourself. I base my views on facts.

[zg76]

those are not facts

[xleax]

Where's the argument?

The Iranian president has said and believes some really dangerous things. He's on the record for saying those things.

oh I just occurred to me.. maybe you're an Ahmadinejad sympathizer (based on your irrational comments) or even a supporter of his who denies the holocaust ever happened and hate Americans and Jews, like he does, but I could be wrong.

[zg76]

I am not persian speaking person, as I understood he never sad actually those words, "wiped out of Israels people", but the fact is that the current regime in Iran denies Israel, because of Palestinians.

As I pointed out before, this is between Israel and Iran, America cannot do any good by meddling there.

And its not any more that you just babble here, now you started with stupendous,abhorring insults. I am Serb born 40km from Jasenovac, do I need to say anything more?

Whats here irrational!?

The Iranian president did indeed say something to the effect of 'Israel should be whipped off'.

Iran is an American affair because Iran is a terrorist enabler. If it wasn't for one of the greatest terrorist sponsors, Iran, US would win Iraq sooner than it did and quite possibly the Afgan war.

And I believe a world war that could break out if Iran attacks Israel or vice versa is not to be taken lightly.

The irrationality is your anti-Americanism. Example: I talk facts and I'm Bush. Wtf?

[zg76]

Actually he sad that Israel should not be on Palestinian land and some other stupid stuff, but not whipped out. There is a difference. And again, their problem.

Terrorist enabler, axis of evil, threat to worlds peace.. all very factual. Next is bogyman and devil.

US should not even be in Iraq at first place, that's all to clear to everyone today.

What anti-Americanism?? I am not eager to see America bankrupt because of unconstitutional, unnecessary wars!

[xleax]

They won in Iraq and liberated millions from a dictator. The woman's position in Iraq has drastically improved. But I know you guys, you think any rationalization against America is a good one.

I'm not sure why America should be taking the advice of Europe on fighting evil - the same Europe that was helpless against Nazism. If it wasn't for America we'd all be Nazis.

[xleax]

Oh yes he said Israel should be wiped off the map. The reason he later commented that "that's not actually what I said" is because he wants to fool, what he thinks in the naive and sinful Western world.

This guy is a proven liar. He repeatedly lied about their nuclear program.

[zg76]

This discussion has become quite absurd, those fairytales of yours, are just plainly stupid. Sad that "liberation" took several hundreds of thousands lives . The glorious liberates are kept behind meters thick concrete walls, behind roadblocks and machine gun nests! Woman's position is so improved that they cannot leave home without male escort any more. Its all very rational!

Fighting evil, ooo f., there you go again-"the last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument".

[zg76]

The Nazis must pop up immediately in this black and white picture of the world.

The guy is knucklehead, but that's problem of people that elected him, not yours!

What did Iran lie about!?

And now, if they ship out that uranium, the whole upheaval would look even more ridiculous.

[xleax]

Just look at who intentionally kills their fellow countrymen on purpose - Al Qaida and Taliban. That's evil.

It's the world's problem if they're threatening to whipe out Israel and supporting terrorist groups like Al-Qaida in their cause of whiping out all non-radical Muslims.

Better behind a thick wall then stoned to death by radicals for not "properly covering up."

[zg76]

Its wrong, stupid, backward, retarded and if you will evil, but dropping million dollars missiles on them, killing innocent people, occupying foreign nations isn't helpful either!

Wipe out Israel-empty rhetoric,not sad,unfeasible..

Iran supporting terrorist groups, Al-Qaida= Iraq supporting terrorism!

Best and only way, in your home walls, in your own country.

Simply neoconservative philosophy is false, has not worked.

[xleax]

It has worked in Iraq and it will work in Afghanistan (hopefully soon).

[zg76]

aha, we've seen hove has it "worked"!

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

@xleax

Actually, Adolf and the Germans fought steadfastly against the murderous Bolsheviks, who'd overthrown the ethnic Christian establishments of Russia and Ukraine.

You can research such names as Lazar Kaganovich, Lavrentiy Beria and Genrikh Yagoda.

Or the Holodomor of 1932, the Siberian gulag, and the Soviet NKVD (secret police).

Unfortunately, Churchill and Roosevelt allied with the Bolshies (and the bankers). So it should be no surprise that America is ruled by them now -- both parties.

@xleax I meant to click reply, not "like". I am just wondering where are you getting your information? Fox News? CBS, NBC, PBS, ABC, the New York Times, The Washington Post? Seriously, where are you getting your information from?

[xleax]

@knowAnonymity The book Londonistan, Truth vs Falsehood and Fox News for the most part.

[knowAnonymity]

@xleax

Ahamedinejad did NOT say Israel would be "wiped off the map", the correct translation is "The regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the pages of time".

And that's about as bad as someone saying "Obama out". The war, struggle is about control of resources, not religion, race or any of that which the book, "Londinistan" refers to. Historically, war has been over control of resources. The elite retain power over global resources by using media to pit people against one another. .

[knowAnonymity]

@xleax Ahamedinejad did NOT say Israel would be "wiped off the map" or "disappear", the correct translation is "The regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the pages of time".And that's about as bad as someone saying "Obama out".

May I suggest you read up on the history of the middle east, you'll see that it is Great Britain invading and occupying the Middle East (and Africa), is it any wonder they'd fight back. Would not Americans do the same if China invaded and occupied Texas?

[xleax]

@knowAnonymity I don't think your comparisons have a place. His opponents don't want Obama to vanish from the pages of times, just out of office. Ahmedinejad wants to destroy a country. That's a huge difference.

These terrorist attacks stem from hate. If you stem from that place, any rationalization for an attack will do. And people like Chomsky will buy that rationalization and get praised by the late Osama Bin Laden for doing so.

[knowAnonymity]

@xleax he is talking about the regime in control of the country, those who claim to be Jews but are not. He is not talking about country itself or the people.

[PwndByTheFed]

"that's easy...they're all full of crap"

spot on.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

haha if Saddam was still there we'd be lining him up with more weapons and pushing him to attack Iran!

[exanchorite]

The reason the rehtoric has stepped up is because Iran just switched from the USD to the Euro in oil trade. The same thing happened before we attacked Iraq.

[PwndByTheFed]

ding, ding, ding, ding - we have a winnah!

[megagagnon1]

it's pronounced E-ron not eye-ran

[Ovalshine]

To-MAY-to, to-MAH-to, let's call the whole thing off. :-)

[RealArcalian]

Another very good one.

The one thing that people beleived before the election that Obama clearly had over W/Chaney/McCain was that he wouldn't bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Now, he actually might.

As for why people fall for it, really it's simple. Left or right, people are stupid.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

this was a good video spot on i agree. There are details about the nuke plant in iran which i heard on russia today which none of our media is telling us. That that plant was converted from something which already existed. it wasnt made from scratch. As far as McCain the idea wasn't about never bombing Iran it was about telegraphing far in advanced your agenda to attack Iran

[bronxer78]

S.A.... I LOVE YOU, MAN! Nobody captures the issue with such punishing exactitude like you!

[Mossy500A]

As long as there is MAD, I am not worried about them having weapons. More people need to see this.

[whoo689]

It's called national DEFENSE for a reason, neocons. It's not NATIONAL OFFENSE! The neocons act like it is, though. Sure, Lindsay Graham can say "I think war should be a last resort" and then a minute later say "We should attack them before they get a nuke." WHAT??? How in the hell does that make war the last resort, then?

These people need to take classes in Logic.

[ArcticSlicer]

This could very well be your best commentary ever. Keep up the good work.

[steve0281]

Well, Iran will have to test one first, Then there will be a considerably gap before they can marry one up with a delivery system.

[nowaveshow]

Great Video SA. I hope more people get the message.
