11. ... and yet they keep repeating the same crap over and over again.
Can anyone tell me who Iran has invaded lately?

Bush labels multiple countries - Iran being one of those exalted club members - as being part of some fantasy coalition of evil. Uncle Sam invades Iran's neighbor (who had previously invaded them with Sammy's encouragement). Doesn't Iran have the right to take precautions?

To hide his failure to defeat Great Britain, Hitler turned his attention to the Soviet Union... hmmnn! "Move along... no historical comparisons to see here..."

3. Not a word
Like people under fascist occupation during the 20th century, I tune up the shortwave or the BBC World Service when I want news.

21. perhaps we should DEMAND SOLID PROOF from the WH
They say they've apprehended Iranian fighters -- bring them into the WH, televise it. Provide information and PROOF that these were people purposely trained to go into Iraq for the express purpose of fighting US.

And before any decision is made -- wait for the world press to weigh in on who these people truly are. We've gotten more truth from media outlets outside our own country!

LIES LIES AND MORE LIES!

Someone should send a copy of the fairy tale of the little boy who cried wolf to both Bush and Cheney. I doubt either one of those assholes have ever read it.

than to get any legitimate proof from them.

28. Thank you! I've been freaking out about how much the propaganda has been ratcheted up this week!
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 06:46 PM by scarletwoman
Even as cynical as I've become over the far too many years of this kind of shit, I've found it rather breathtaking how quickly the "Iraq is Iran's fault" message got ramped up in just the past few days.

Even though we've all witnessed the ongoing demonization of Iran proceed apace since Bush's "Axis of Evil" crap, that was really only the first phase of a long process of softening everybody up. Now that they've got their military component just about lined up -- Patriot anti-missile systems in Baghdad, 2 (with a 3rd purpotedly on the way) carrier groups deployed to the Persian Gulf, a Naval Air Command guy sent up to head Centcom (for 2 -- Afghanistan & Iraq -- ground wars??) NO, for the coming air attack on Iran. -- the heavy duty propaganda saturation begins in earnest.

And the MSM is just going along with it, whole hog. Never a question, never a reminiscence of how IRAQ was portrayed as a serious impending danger, never a mention of how all the reasons that the U.S. public was given to justify invading Iraq have turned out to be LIES!

It just makes me want to SCREAM! I'm with you, we have GOT to send a message to the corporate media that we DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!

Even more crucial, imho, is getting the word out to our fellow citizens to not fall for this crap again! Because unless we can reach lots and lots of MSM consumers, and impress upon THEM the unbelievability of what they're hearing; the war on Iran WILL happen.

Oh yeah -- k & r

29. NBC Nightly News
Just ran a story *debunking* what they (the cabal and the (rest of the) corporate media) have been saying about Iran. Miracles occasionally do happen, I guess.
