Turn On CSPIN1
Edited on Sun Jan-03-10 07:53 AM by ChairmanAgnostic
A Penn State prof who really knows Iran, and is talking brass tacks.

(some of the callers are still your normal run of the mill morans, tho)


Iran is no nuclear threat, we have not engaged them, nor tried discussions, and the Iranian regime is not going away. Regime change (on edit, FORCED by the US) would be a failure and would cause huge problems for the US.

2. Iran is in the process of buying Uranium from a friendly country
This should frighten Americans and Israelis. President Obama has stated that all options are on the table when dealing with the nuclear ambitions of Tehran.

3. A Former Boooshie With Brains?
Can't be...musta been hit on the head with something. Gotta love the wingnut who was sure Iran is going to drop bombs on New York City. Makes you wonder how this national cornered the market on stupid.

4. what he said was anything but pro bushie
To the contrary, he was rational, informed, and informative. When did anyone from Cheney Bush sound like that?

5. He Worked In That Regime...
Yes...I was wondering the same thing. From his bio he left in 2003...sounds like he saw the light. One of the few.
