"Now Playing: Scenario for Attacking Iran"

http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=2&guideContext=65.72&pmmsid=1719971

While I'm sure the intention of the NeoCons and Israel to attack Iran is not news to readers of this Forum, you might be interested in watching this 1 minute 35 second video that appeared this morning for 4 reasons:

1. It's distributed by AOL with its vast membership, and it's always nice to know what the PTB want lots of people to see.

2. It's actually labeled just like an entertainment movie appearing at your local theatre, in which I sense a calming subliminal message to the munchkins of the matrix that they shouldn't take all this war stuff too seriously, just buy lots of popcorn and, oh, by the way, register at your local draftboard, which, coincidentally and conveniently, has a table set up out in the lobby....

3. All the "angles" seem to have been worked out; war with Iran has left the realm of wild speculation by fringe elements on the internet :), and become something we can expect and will find very soon in our newspapers and broadcasts.

4. At 1 minute and 2 seconds the following appears:

"The best case is that Iran simply rebuilds, and military action is needed in two to five years."

"In the worst case, Iran retaliates, sponsors terrorism, attacks US troops in Iraq, disrupts oil shipments through the Persian Gulf pushing gas prices to record highs, and enflames anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world."
The limits of discourse have been established. The blinkers have been put on with no attempt whatsoever at subtlety.

Here's your choices, boys and girls: war with those nasty Iranians or war with those nasty Iranians. Now which would you prefer?

If I knew how to put one of those sick bag thingys on, I would put one here.
 
Also notice how there is no mention of the reason why we're attacking Iran. Bush gives his brief "Imagine a nuclear iran threatening soveriegn nations..." and of course i thought, "that's what we do."

No evidence iran has nukes, im sure they want them, but that's not evidence. Nor any mention saying they are close, or can build one, while most reports i've seen have them at 3+ years away.

Again, we're given bullshit reasons to get into a bullshit war.... Bollux!
 
Honestly! The crap that comes out of this womans mouth. Propaganda.

JERUSALEM - U.S. raids that President Bush approved against Iranian targets in Iraq are part of broad efforts to confront Tehran's aggression, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Saturday.


"The United States is simply responding to Iranian activities that have been going on for a while now that threaten not just to destabilize the chance for Iraq to proceed to stability but also that endanger our forces," Rice said before meeting with Israel's foreign minister.

Bush approved the strategy several months ago, U.S. officials said, in response to what Washington claims is Iran's support for terrorists inside Iraq and the alleged funneling of bombs to anti-U.S. insurgents.

Echoing other Bush administration figures, Rice said the U.S. does not intend to cross the Iraq-Iran border to attack Iranians.

Five Iranians were detained by U.S.-led forces after a raid Thursday on an Iranian government liaison office in northern Iraq. The move further frayed relations between the two countries.

The United States accuses Iran of helping provide roadside bombs that have killed American troops in Iraq. Also, a bitter standoff already exists over Iran's nuclear program.

Rice told reporters that the Iranian office was not a diplomatic consulate, which would be protected by international treaty.

The State Department said Friday that U.S.-led forces entered an Iranian building in Kurdish-controlled Irbil because information linked it to Revolutionary Guards and other Iranian elements engaging in violent activities in Iraq.

State Department spokesman Tom Casey said there was no truth to reports that Iran was carrying out legitimate diplomatic activity at the site.

But Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd, contended the Iranians were working in a liaison office that had government approval and was in the process of being approved as a consulate. In Iran, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the U.S. raid constituted an intervention in Iranian-Iraqi affairs.
 
As usual, you're right Laura. Another load of journalistic crap from a journalist who's full of crap. And if not a psychopath herself-which is highly unlikely judging by her journalistic vomit-at least a 'path enabler.
Well, keep up the good fight exposing the sleazebags of this world! :o
