  • @daderone wolf blitzer? is that you?

  • @daderone lol at obama's "open hand" -- was this before or after countless US officials called for regime change in Iran?

  • SAY YES TO THE IMPLANTS OR DIE

  • What is concerning is that there is no reprentative govt & they stone/hang people in the streets 4 being homosexual, 'whores' or just 4 offending God's will by defying/speaking out against the govt.

    What is concerning is that Iran is all this time advancing a nuclear program while launching long range missiles & rejecting the open hand of the Obama administration. Stiffling dissent, beating, torturing, arresting the opposition while continuing 2 neglect, oppress & supress the Iranian people.

  • Iran exists, nobody denies that. What is concerning is that the Iranian regime doesn't recognize, literally, the existance of Israel.

    Instead it tries 2 scapegoat, demonize & calls for this non-existant state 2b wiped from the map. It funds the indoctrination of children, arms fundamentalists groups in other neighboring countries 4 the sole purpose of destabilizing the region 2 promote a radical theocratic agenda.

  • No, that's normal. The U.S. could go to war against Australia and convince the American people that it is justifiable.

  • thinkprogress exists to make sure that America does not exist in the coming years.

  • Fail.

    You can't type out how they want to exterminate mankind? I don't trust your ass and I'm not interested in doing your research for you.

    Did they want to H-bomb us? Poison the water? Tickle our asses to death?

    Or are you a fucking tool?

  • In 2006, Condaleezza Rice asked Congress for $70 million to fund "dissident groups" within Iran.

    Doesn't it seem a little fishy that every single media outlet has systematically created a flood of propaganda against Iran?

  • thinkprogress [dot] org go to july archives for 2006, you'll see it.
