Drum beating for Iran??

[raging_moderate]

:mad: :puke: :wtf:

We are still not completely out of the Iraq quagmire, still tied up in Afghanistan, and the MSM is drum beating again with there "should we/shouldn't we" attack/bomb Iran. Apparently the MIC is worried that their stock dividends might dry up if we don't find someone else to kill.... and FAST!! What the average Joe in the USA doesn't seem to ever think about is that the whole world has access to, and pays attention to our "news" and equates it with who we are. For what it's worth to the rest of the world, I find this....

Absolutely disgusting.

1. Not going to happen.

We've had the same "attack on Iran imminent!!1!" news story literally every few months since before the 2004 election.

2. War profits, the American way. Military cuts are never on the table.

4. Erect bogeyman. Wave flag. Demand more money. Works every time.

5. Republican hawks have been doing that since 1978

and it's on their to-do list and they'll try to force it if they're allowed into power again.

Such a war would finish this country even if it doesn't trigger a world war.

6. The only people beating the drums are crazy people who want to shit-stir.

This is not, nor has it ever been, a viable strategic possibility.

There are plenty of ways to fuck with Iran without marching into Tehran.

7. When all else fails.. they take us to war. This is history....

The economy is going to collapse... it can't do anything BUT COLLAPSE under the weight of Credit Default Swaps to the tune of $31 Trillion.

A full-scale world-war will divert people's attention from a failed economy to the immediate threat of war.. and a scramble for survival on the streets of America.

Who can protest against the system... when 46 million Americans are on food stamps? Fox News will wave the flag and incite the less educated into a horrible world war.

Progressives THIRST for a true progressive candidate to vote for....Please.. if there is a god...he can't let WW-III happen.

An attack on Iran would close the Oil Routes.. and cause the price of gas to go to $100 a gallon.. exactly what the oil companies want.

An oil shortage would cause the dollar to skyrocket.. once again.. exactly what the Banksters want.

The only thing they haven't taken into consideration.. is that China and Russia will not stand by as we attack Iran. No way.. no-how.

Nuclear war is NOT like being a "little pregnant". A nuclear war is for REAL.. forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... when you are dead.. you are dead a long time... something Mitt and Herman and Newt and Michelle have not even considered.

8. Neocons have been planning this for a long time...
