A War on Iran is a War on America (Conservative Voice)
... Don’t buy the hype. A war with Iran is most certainly not inevitable. Nor is it a good idea. Beyond the costs in lives and treasure (and the generally disconcerting precedent that using tactical nukes would set), a war in Iran would assuredly feature domestic components. So far in the war on terror, we’ve seen widespread domestic spying programs, the inclusion of anti-war groups on Pentagon watch lists, so-called “free speech zones,” and an ever widening gap between politicians and the American people—physically, as well as in terms of accountability. We’ve seen the selective use of intelligence to create threats that didn’t exist. We’ve seen leaking to smear war opponents, and we’ve seen investigations into leakers who managed to smear the war. What kind of fun stuff will the next major theater bring?

Washington’s tactics in the war on terror serve to silence dissent and create artificial support at least as much, if not more so, than they serve to actually fight the war in the first place. This has been so in the war on terror in general, and it’s been so in the unnecessary Iraq War. It will be so yet again if we attack Iran in any capacity. So don’t buy into it. Don’t be swindled. And don’t believe a war in Iran is anything less than a war on the American people ...

6. WAR!!!!

American Love Of:

It's good to see yr all waking up over there!
There's a certain truth in accusations don't you think? Profoundly so I believe. The "Evil Empire" is yours/his. You created it. You allowed this wanker to take what wasn't his by democratic vote.
Have any of you noticed how another "threat" happens as soon as "smirky's" polls drop? If it wasn't so dire it would be as laughable as it is predictable!

Kennedy's replaced by Bush's? The "B"um" boy's (Blair & Bush)tail in tail to take the little freedom we have called our own?
Are you now going to get even more apathetic & elect another one because it has the loot to buy the Whitehouse?

CNN is a lost soul. It couldn't even get Katrina right & that's on US soil.....!!
Who pays for their advertising?
Have you considered the scource?
Bunch of paid for bunnies........
Try BBC. (British Broadcasting Corp for the uninitiated)
No ads!
WE pay for it. The Great Brit peons.
It's called a TV licience! Point being?
no advertising.
No interference.
Heads would go to (& have been) in jail rather than bow to the likes of another Freemason gang or other any hidden Gvmt agenda.
The New World Order has been established. It's here. We're watching it.
Do we like it?

8. Attack, attack, attack


Suskind describes the Cheney doctrine as follows: "Even if there's just a 1 percent chance of the unimaginable coming due, act as if it is a certainty. It's not about 'our analysis,' as Cheney said. It's about 'our response.' … Justified or not, fact-based or not, 'our response' is what matters. As to 'evidence,' the bar was set so low that the word itself almost didn't apply."
