Donald Trump: Let’s bomb Iran.

By Nico Pitney on Jan 12th, 2007 at 1:30 pm

Donald Trump: Let’s bomb Iran.

Trump today on Bush’s speech: “You know, the one thing I sorta liked was what they were saying about Iran. I believe you have to go in and strike Iran — not with soldiers. You know, it’s not a world of soldiers anymore. It’s a world of air. It’s a world of different kinds of, you know, we’ve changed.”

    If you can keep soldiers out of there, by all means tell us how Donald.


  2. Juan C says:

    Donald: Thank you very much for showing respect for human life.


  3. dlet says:

    Who listens to either one of these idiots?

    The only “carpet bombing” Trump knows, is the one on top of his head…………..sorry, but that one was too easy to pass up.


  4. Bluedog49 says:

    Hey Trump. Take that squirrel off your head and stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine.


  5. brandX says:

    The Trump Doctrine:

    Bomb them there so we don’t ever have to fight them anywhere. Yeah…..that’s the ticket out of hell.

    I thought I liked him until I heard this tripe.

  7. Technodaoist says:

    Then The Donald could easily help bring his dreams to fruition… Just take a gold-plated plane and fly on over there, O Mighty Lord of the Hairpiece. Get up off your ass and make your dreams a reality.

    Basically, what he said was, “I like being able to attack others with relative impunity… I like advocating it even more.”

    More warmonger warmongering from the warmongocracy…

    I’ve lost my respect for Trump… oh wait.. I never had any to begin with.

    Nevermind.

    you can tell it doesn’t take any brains to be trump
    only BS


  12. Unholy Moses says:

    It’s a world of air.

    Yes, Donald, it is a world of air. A world of very, very hot air.

    I think that dead critter he slaps on his head every morning is sucking whatever brain he had left out of his skull …


  13. Rebel In CA says:

    SO. Donald’s show “Apperentice in Los Angeles” bombed, and now he want to bomb Iran.

    Is he planning a version of The Apperentice-Teheran?

    Or does he want to build an obscene mansion worth $300,000,000 that no one wants to buy (just like the one he has in Florida)


  14. Bluedog49 says:

    Keep it up, comb-over king. You’re making Rosie O’Donnell look better and better.


  15. Uosdwis says:

    Yeah, why not, Don: you could afford to fill up you limo after we do, huh? I’m serious, gas stations will have to make room for FOUR digits in their displays!

    All low.


  18. Fools on the Hill says:

    Sounds like he is a Bin Laden like terrorist. WTF has happened to make Americans so crazy? Americans just want to bomb and kill everyone. A very sick nation indeed.


  19. Roger_Roger says:

    I personally don’t know what we should do about Iran, but we need to do something soon. We simply cannot allow them to gain Nuke Weapons and we can’t allow them to get to strong. I would put another 6 months or so and then wage war if they don’t back away from there drive for Nuke Weapons.

    I would assume not even the left thinks letting Iran gain Nuke weapons is acceptable.


  20. ItsJustKarma says:

    The guy is a publicity whore. After messing with Rosie O’Donnell he needs a ‘hit’ in World politics. I am not a fan of Barbara Walters, but I like what she said about that idiot. Walters calls Trump ‘that poor, pathetic man’. His head is brown from being stuck in boshes rectum. Boycott morons like him and don’t give that scum any airtime.


  21. Brandon Harris says:

    Donald Trump, you are an idiot.


  22. brie says:

    Um, am I confused or should Donald Trump not even be asked his opinion on world political or military matters? I mean, honestly, who has DT on their show to talk about politics? I guess there are only so many questions you can ask about the thrilling Rosie O’Donnell situation.

    As for Think Progress, slow news day, guys? Donald Trump’s opinion on anything is hardly newsworthy.


  23. Brandon Harris says:

    To Donald Trump, I do not think we should bomb Iran. Iran is not a threat to the United States. Iran has done nothing to the U.S.. The U.S. is an imperialist nation controlled by Zionist bankrollers.


  24. dlet says:

    I personally don’t know what we should do about Iran, but we need to do something soon.
    Comment by Roger_Roger

    Maybe opening a dialouge with them would be a good way to start? But they are part of the “Axis of Evil” and Bush doesn’t talk those. But they better listen to us. The problem with being a cowboy president is that there are no cowboys in Iran and North Korea.


  25. Bluedog49 says:

    Roger: “I personally don’t know what we should do about Iran, but we need to do something soon.”

    This from someone who’s been wrong about everything. Oh, OK, Roger, let’s “do something soon” about Iran. Our own CIA and the intelligence agencies around the world, do not think Iran could produce a nuclear bomb for at least 10 years even if they wanted to. Arminijad has invited UN weapons inspectors to come look over their nuclear power program. Roger and his cult-leader, GW Bush want to “do something soon.” Roger, have you ever heard the story about the boy who cried “wolf!” Just f*ck off with your war mongering. We’ve had enough.


  26. Bluedog49 says:

    And, what the f*ck is that idiot doing with a big ten-gallon hat on in the studio. What? Is the sun in his eyes? What a complete jackass. I’d like to round-house that phony cowboy with a sucker punch and watch the tough guy cry.


  27. Evil Spaniard says:

    Oh, please.

    NO. MORE. COWBOY. POLICY.


  28. green917 says:

    19 – Rog? Of course nobody here wants Iran to have nuclear weapons but, I haven’t seen any proof (remember when our government had to have cause for their actions?) that Iran is trying to gain nuclear weapons. Do you think that, perhaps, just maybe, we should try to talk to them before we commence the bombing runs? When will your side realize that we’re a superpower who has things that other countries want and are willing to negotiate for? Diplomacy is NOT a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. You morons think that the military is the solution to every issue facing us as a nation. That doesn’t even begin to enter into addressing the monumental cost that a war with Iran would incur for us (in blood and finances). I guess when you’re a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. IDIOTS!


  29. theswan says:

    This is a donald diversion to rid himself of the Rosie torment. But, I think donald has just opened himself to lots more ridicule.

    Comment by Roger_Roger

    And if they do get a nuke what will they do with it? You cant just stop your line of logic where it is convenient. EXACTLY what will they do with it and when? Exactly how long after getting the thermonuclear bomb did stalin use it on us? Israel deals with Iran from time to time and tries to keep it secret. Israel would not do this if they were on the verge of being bombed. The threat is not that Iran will bomb someone. The threat is that Iran will no longer fear being bombed by Israel and the neonuts dont like it when their threats are no longer taken seriously because someone can now defend themselves. Dont want Iran to get nukes? Then be honest about it and send Lugar in to try to get ALL nukes removed from the middle east which includes Isreali nukes… otherwise you are just a hypocrite that wants to push people around with impunity….which no self respecting human being will tolerate any longer than they must.

    Iranians are not crazy. If they were they would have attacked Israel in an all out war long ago. They have not and a nuke will not make that any different. Iran knows that if they invaded Israel that would be the end of Iran. And it does not matter if they invade with soldiers and jets or nukes.

    I agree it is better for Iran not to have nukes. For the same reason that no one should. For the same reason that Reagan and the Russians reduced our nukes. Your claim that Iran must not be “allowed” to is the same attitude that the king of england and his followers took towards America. America will not be allowed to “XYZ” as if it was any of their business.


  31. tarazan says:

    Of course Trump does not know what it is like to be on the receiving end of bombing campaign..Trump will do anything to get his name circulated daily….he is still hanging on Rosie story…it adds to his show’s ratings . He knows well the link between ranting and rating.


  32. Roger_Roger says:

    I think we definetly should talk with them. It is wrong to not talk directly with them, but they need to come to the table in good faith. For starters, they need to stop all nuke activity at once. It isn’t fooling anyone. A country that exists on top of an ocean of oil doesn’t need expensive nuke power. They are simply building this stuff for a nuke weapon. So, once they stop that nonsense, I think we should start to talk with them and work on things that are in both our interests. Now if they keep working towards a bomb and won’t stop, we need to at a minimum stop them.


  33. Brandon Harris says:

    I would like to say something to Donald Trump: Donald, I am so glad that a Greek leftist revolutionary movement bombed the U.S. Embassy in Athens last night. I only wished that they could have completely demolished the entire building.

    Down with the U.S.A.!


  34. Mike says:

    This might be a little sick, but at this point, it might almost be more satisfying for me to just let the administration go do what they want to around the world and really seal the US’s fate, just for the justification of the left’s position. I don’t actually want that, but its really the only way to make the right-tards understand their blunders, and that ours is a world more complex than strong vs. weak nations.


  35. VerbalKint says:

  36. Evil Spaniard says:

    I personally don’t know what we should do about Iran, but we need to do something soon.

    So, in case of doubt, bomb? What an idiocy. I have also doubts of the good faith of the USA as a nation, and the USA is the only country in the world that has uses nukes. But I’m against of bombing the USA.

    We simply cannot allow them to gain Nuke Weapons and we can’t allow them to get to strong.

    Hello? They want nuclear energy to light their cities, as many americans do. And are years ago of having enough material for a bomb.

    I would put another 6 months or so and then wage war if they don’t back away from there drive for Nuke Weapons.

    You know? Capitalizing Nuke Weapons doesn’t make those weapons appear instamagically in Iran. Iran hasn’t Nuclear Weapons right now or in the next months or years.

    I would assume not even the left thinks letting Iran gain Nuke weapons is acceptable.

    Comment by Roger_Roger — January 12, 2007 @ 1:50 pm

    That goes also for the USA, and his voluntary withdrawal of the NPT. This fact makes me far more exceptical of the motivations of the USA.


  37. brandX says:

    It’s a world of different kinds of, you know, we’ve changed.”

    So the Donald wants to follow in the footsteps of the 20 madmen who committed their brazen act of idiocy and killed thousands of innocent civilians with aircraft. This time though, they will be killed by people with American uniforms. And in the Don’s eyes, the innocents will be justifiably slaughtered.

    He acts like Mr. Tough guy but in allowing his “moral compass” to become so distorted by so few of the worst specimens of humanity, Donald shows himself to be a wimp.


  38. Redleg says:

    Trump has always been good at spending other peoples’ resources.


  39. Brandon Harris says:

    What goes on in Iran is none of Amerikkka’s business.


  40. brandX says:

    If Iran is bombed, I can guarantee one thing.

    Iran will be a threat. It will be their “Pearl Harbor”.


  41. LawstSoul says:

    I’m inclined to agree w/ Trump, but I don’t think any action should be taken until we hear what Kevin Federline has to say on the issue.


  42. ItsJustKarma says:

    There are not enough words in any language to describe what’s going on right now. Iran signed the NPT and has not only a right to develop nuclear technology but is well advised to get some nukes as a deterrent against the US.
    The Russians might have done so already. The republican phuckphaces in their endless hypocracy have no problem to deliver nuclear material to India which in turn DID NOT sign the NPT. At this time I start to believe it might even be better to start WWIII to get over with all the phucking militarists on the planet.
    The only way we will have peace on this planet is to give everybody that has to do with military or weapons a lobotomy. America has become the worlds worst oppressor and even 70+% can not change a thing about it. The MSM is nothing but a disgusting fascist propaganda machine and will sooner or later have to pay the price for its prostitution for the neocons. There is no doubt that blood will be spilled in never before seen dimensions. More than hundred years ago there were already people who knew one simple truth:
    Only a dead militarist is a good militarist. We need another Woodrow Wilson. The fascists with their corporate buddies took this country hostage. Same old story. Makes Adolf Hitler even less of a insane dictator and more of a victim of those same fascist powers that are now back to drive the world into its end.
    A$$hole like baldhead trump don’t even know what they are talking about. Stupid Wild West talk revealing the emptiness in his skull. I hope when the first mushroom clouds rise over the US that one of them takes out trump.

    Comment by green917

    Correction: Nobody here wants ANY COUNTRY to have nuclear weapons.


  45. Brian Haine says:

    1: For example, in October, US Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad and General George Casey, head of US operations in Iraq, listed the passing of such a law as one of the “milestones” they were pressuring the Iraqi government to deliver. Similar calls have been made by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (see eg http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2006/75418.htm) and Energy Secretary Sam Bodman (eg AFP, 18 Jul 06, ‘US wants new Iraq oil law so foreign firms can take part’).

    Secion II.B.5 of the Iraq Study Group Report (pp.83-85) recommends that the US government both advise on writing an oil law, and encourage international oil companies to invest.

    Comment by Roger_Roger

    Thats a roger Rogerx2. I’m on the other side as you, but I don’t want Iran with nukes (or any other WMD). I know there is talk about Iran ‘not being close’ or whatever from having them. That does not make me feel any better about Iran’s intention – they want them, and it seems, they are working on that. If Iran gets nukes they, I believe, will offer them either for sale or to nutjob groups hellbent on blowing something (or someone) up. I am afraid all this is moot, however. The nuclear genie is out of the bottle and there is no turning back. As time goes on, more and more players will have access to them. I fear an explosion is all but inevitable.


  48. big papa says:

    Roger (x 2) and green917…

    It is quite apparent that you (like other deluded al Crackkker inbred idiots) believe that somehow the U.S. (and by inference all “white” nations)…

    …possess some “divine” moral right to themselves possess and simultaneously DICTATE which countries can and cannot develop…

    …nuclear weapons…

    …EVERY country that has the wherewithall, determination, and know how deserves to be able to protect themselves against dominant hostile forces (like the criminal Bushite junta)…

    …If the U.S. doesn’t want the Iranians (or any other foreign nation) developing nuclear weaponry…

    …shouldn’t it lead by example (like DISMANTLING and negotiating with our allies to DISMANTLE THEIR nukes)?

    …Oh no, that’s right…the mighty al Crackkker adheres to a “different’ standard…

    …you hypocrites are pathetic!

    Unfortunately for you, the “backward” Iranians UNDERSTAND their sovereign rights of self-defense…


  49. Clyde the Ripper says:

    He is right about it being …”a world of air.” Most of it is hot between his and DUHbya’s ears.

    Granny and I have planned for some time to move to Bangkok when the dog dies. The day DUHbya strikes Iran the dog goes to the pound. Hopefully, we can get out before we have our own “Hiroshima” and “Nagasaki” in retaliation for Iran’s “Pearl Harbor.”

    I’m convinced that donald and the likes are giving their time for the chimpet via the msm and these idiotic shows that really have nothing to put forth but small talk trimmed with a little sex.
    America is drenched in fear and decorated in BS. And donald claims a big share.


  52. Mark says:

    Donald just beefed up his defense portfolio last week, he’s thinking return on investment, he has no realy wrath for Iran, he just wants his personal piece of the economy to blossom a bit more.

    Tom, my guess is that Brandon is just another Bush-cultist dead-ender trying to coax some anti-american sentiment out of a liberal crowd. Pathetic.

Because what goes around comes around. If it is your Karma to be fried in a mushroom cloud, there is not a lot you can do about it. Maybe getting rid of ALL WMD? Sounds silly? Well let’s see how silly WWIII will be. It’s all well known. Read it up at Wikipedia under ‘First World War’. Next time I reincarnate it will be on a planet free of republican fascist of any kind. A planet of love, compassion and understanding.

    This person is a right-wingnut stooge paid to come to this site and make this sort of comment. This comment is meant to ferret out the “commies” posting here to prove that this site is anti-United States; of course, this site is the exact opposite of how the neocons would like to paint it. This site is pro-America. The republicans hate that because it shows how little they care for this country and its people, and how much they care about being in power at all costs. They prove each and every day their disdain for the United States and Americans. Now is the time for us to prove to them exactly who it is who employs their sorry asses — WE THE PEOPLE. And it’s time for WE THE PEOPLE


  59. meg_mac says:

    That hairdo is definitely a crime against humanity!


  60. Dalai Lama Himself says:

    But there is no need for more carrier-based fighter-bombers in Iraq. And the insurgents have no missiles against which anyone would need Patriot missiles to defend. You only need Patriots if your target country has missiles with which to retaliate against you.

    What Bush signaled in the clear Wednesday is that air strikes on Iranian “networks” are being planned. That would produce an Iranian response. That response would trigger US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, for which Israel and the neocons are howling.


  61. Roger_Roger says:

    #48 Oh you are looking at it all wrong. I am a American which means I look out for what is good for America. Iran having Nukes is bad for America, thus we cannot let them have them. I don’t care nor look at what is good for Iran. Leading by example is exactly what we should do in this situation. Whena country like Iran doesn’t do what we say, we bomb the piss out of them until they stop. This “example” tells other little countries to not even try it. You see, we on the right look at what is good for America while those on the left always focus on what will hurt America. To each there own I guess.


  62. ConcernedCitizen says:

    Suddenly, Rosie O’Donnell is looking like a freaking GENIUS.


  63. A Dark Germ says:

    60/ Midway through his speech, almost as an aside, Bush made a pointed accusation at and issued a direct threat to – Tehran.

    To defend the “territorial integrity” of Iraq and stabilize “the region in the face of extremist challenge,” Bush interjected, “begins with addressing Iran and Syria.”

    “These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.”

    Now, any networks providing “advanced weaponry and training” to jihadists and insurgents are outside Iraq. Otherwise, they would have been neutralized by air strikes already.

    So, where are they? Answer: inside Syria and Iran. And Bush says we are going to “seek out and destroy” these networks.

    Which suggests to this writer that, while the “surge” is modest, Bush has in mind a different kind of escalation – widening the war by attacking the source of instability in the region: Tehran.

    “I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region,” said Bush. “We will deploy … Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies.”

    But there is no need for more carrier-based fighter-bombers in Iraq. And the insurgents have no missiles against which anyone would need Patriot missiles to defend. You only need Patriots if your target country has missiles with which to retaliate against you.

    What Bush signaled in the clear Wednesday is that air strikes on Iranian “networks” are being planned. That would produce an Iranian response. That response would trigger US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, for which Israel and the neocons are howling.

    And should this scenario play out, what would Hillary, Biden, Kerry, McCain, Giuliani, and even Pelosi and Obama do? Hail Bush as a Churchill. At first.

    And Bush would have another legacy than a lost war in Iraq. Like Menachem Begin, only big-time, he would have his own Osirak.

    And how is bombing “little countries” that don’t “do what we say” good for America, Roger^2?

    Is this how you solve your problems with your neighbors -beating them up until they do what you tell them to? Assuming you get away with it, don’t you think they will gang up on you, eventually?


  66. WC says:

    “It’s a world of air” is almost as ignorant a comment as Bush’s “we tried calm.”


  67. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Roger_Rhetoric, your idiocy is breathtaking.

    I am a American which means I look out for what is good for America.

    If the way you ‘look out for America’ is similar to how our current administration is ‘looking out for America’, please do us all a favor and stop looking out for us.

    Iran having Nukes is bad for America, thus we cannot let them have them. I don’t care nor look at what is good for Iran.

    And it is exactly this sort of shortsightedness that has squandered all our international goodwill. Is that ‘looking out for America’?

    Leading by example is exactly what we should do in this situation. Whena country like Iran doesn’t do what we say, we bomb the piss out of them until they stop. This “example” tells other little countries to not even try it.

    This staggering arrogance is the reason we are the most hated nation on the planet, bar none. All this sort of heavy-handed bullshit is going to accomplish is generate more and more people who hate us bitterly and have nothing left to lose (read: more and more potential suicide bombers). Still think you’re ‘looking out for America’, Roger_Rhetoric?

    Oh, and one more thing…I know I confronted you with this previously, but you chose to run away (as usual), so I’ll confront you with it again. Iran is DECADES away from manufacturing even a single nuclear weapon. Look here for details.

    Again, stop perpetuating the lies…that’s not ‘looking out for America”, you hypocritical jackass.

  70. Roger_Roger says:

    #68 So you want to wait on bombing the piss out of them until there a bit cloer to making a nuke weapon? At least we agree that we need to stop them militarily from getting a nuke. The timing is all we are discussing now.

    If I’m looking for a real estate killing then Trumps my man. But I won’t be looking to him for military advice.

We would have to put troops on the ground.

  74. Roger_Roger says:

    Hellinabucket,

    Roger^2, you are obviously a slow learner.

    Please note Tripmaster did not agree with your premise that Iran should be stopped militarily. He didn’t even agree with you that Iran is manufacturing or possesses nuclear weapons (you didn’t follow the link, did you?).

    What we are discussing is your (and Trump’s) spreading lies, fearmongering, and warmongering.

    Whena country like Iran doesn’t do what we say, we bomb the piss out of them until they stop. This “example” tells other little countries to not even try it. You see, we on the right look at what is good for America while those on the left always focus on what will hurt America. To each there own I guess.

    Comment by Roger_Roger — January 12, 2007 @ 2:57 pm

    And suppose that N. Korea decides to nuke Japan or S. Korea in retaliation for our bombing of Iran. Are you ready to commit this country to fightng wars in 4 countries?? (Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, & Afghanistan, if you haven’t been paying attention).


  77. WC says:

    Well, if nothing more, Trump just gave Rosie more fodder.

    Hey Roger_Roger,

    Now is your chance. If you want to be in on putting “little countries” in their you need to sign up NOW. Why just encourage your government to bomb them when you could be helping out by throwing grenades over the border.

    Protect me you big, manly, intimidating stud you. Or do you only have enough balls to talk about it.

    The most disgusting thing about warmongers is that they are cowards and more than happy making other people die without having to sacrifice anything themselves… unless its all the 1’s and 0’s they use as ammunition in their keyboard wars.

  92. Mark says:

    RR I fully agree that we should talk to Iran, not at them. I also agree that they should come to the table with good intentions and good faith…as we should also. Your notion of setting conditions for negotiations smacks of Bushism diplomacy. i.e. do what we want and what we say then. If the pre-conditions are unilateral then there is no point in negotiating as the US will have achieved their goals without negotiation. Would it not be fair for Iran as a pre-condition to suspend their enrichment/research operations in exchange for a pledge of no attacks from the US? I see that as a no-brainer starting point, yet our administration will not pledge that and they won’t even ask the Iranians to talk on any level. Our current diplomacy consists of two methods…diplomacy by gunfire and diplomacy by intimidation, it does not include any actual negotiation or discussion with whomever we might want to come to an agreement.

    Heck, based on the past track record of this administration, Iran could conceivably give up their nuclear ambitions and this administration would still attack and justify it by saying we could not trust Iran or UN Inspectors or some other reason. Simply look back to 2002 – 2003 when Iraq was giving the UN Inspectors access to seemingly everything and it still was not good enough for this administration. Remember the refrigerator raids that netted…food. Also our administration works from the point of you can not trust those guys. Way back in 2003 Iraq produced records indicating that everything had been destroyed. Our admin said that was not good enough that those records were very similar to those turned in to the UN previously. Hmm, hindsight is 20/20 but it appears that the records provided in 2002 were accurate, everything had been destroyed, sealed etc… and apparently no new programs were begun. So in essence we had all the information we needed in late 2002 to make thee call that Iraq was not the threat they were perceived to be, yet we choose to invade anyway. Looking at this track record for this administration, why on earth would Iran unilaterally give the US everything they ask for with no concessions in return? History says that they will be attacked even if they are 100% in compliance.

    The way I see it our current administration can not negotiate on the normal level Why? Because they seem perceive as a loss any concession, any meeting in the middle, heck, any movement at all off of their position. They seem to perceive it as a sign of weakness. They seem to perceive that any win win situation is actually a situation where they did not win at all because they did not leave the other side with a zero sum gain. With people like the current administration in power there can be no true diplomacy.

    Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner Roger Roger. You’re an idiot. I happen to do understand something of military operations and I know I don’t want the AssCrack with the Funny Hair to make any of those.

    The reason why I hate Bush is also because he wants to make it illegal for any woman to get an abortion and to outlaw same-sex marriage. I think women ought to be able to have an abortion if they want and I also think if a gay couples wants to get married, then that is their business. It is not the government’s place to tell someone who they are going to and not going to marry.

  105. Iranian says:

    As an Iranian I should tell you that Iran is neither Iraq nor Afghasnistan. 5,000 yrs ago we used to own the middle-east including Iraq and Afghanestan as the Persian empire, before you blood-thirsty …… killed the 60,000,000 natives to own N.America 200 yrs ago. So if you dare to harm Iran, you should know that this country with a 12,000,000 army personel and with the help of its people-who are willing to pay their lifes for their religion, independence and country- and ofcourse its friends in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq will pretty much screw you over easily along with your stupid zionist boss.


  106. Bluedog49 says:

    Brandon: “I want to comment to Tom and some of the others. I do hate Bush. I am a Marxist-Leninist. I am not a right-winger paid to post messages on this site and I am anti-American. America deserved what they got in Greece.”

    It’s an equal-opportunity site. I guess we get a-holes from both fringes.


  107. Bluedog49 says:

    Nice shot, Iranian. but at least WE didn’t change the name of our culture and country to curry favor with Adolph Hitler. As you posted, you used to be called Persians.


  108. Brandon Harris says:

    Tell me something Bluedog49, why do you defend America? America attacked the Iranian Consulate in Northern Iraq a few days ago. This was retaliation for the American attack.


  109. Bluedog49 says:

    Hey Brandon, how’s that “cult of personality” working out for you. We’re having some problems with that ourselves.


  110. Brandon Harris says:

    To Bluedog49, I agree with the Iranian. If America attacks Iran, it will be a bigger bloodbath than what Iraq or Afghanistan was. Moreover, Iran did not curry favor with Adolf Hitler. I would like to know where you got that information at. I have alot of respect and admiration for H.E. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because he will stand up against U.S. aggression and imperialism.


  111. Brandon Harris says:

    Bluedog49, I do not have a “cult of personality.”


  112. Brandon Harris says:

    I think Iran has the right to possess nuclear weapons for its own defense. The same with North Korea. They also have the right to possess nuclear weapons. If the U.S. wants them to disarm so bad, then why doesn’t the U.S. do away with all its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons? Why doesn’t the U.S. demand that the Zionist Entity (Israel) do away with their nuclear weapons? I think that the U.S. should set an example and do away with all their’s first.


  113. Bluedog49 says:

    Gosh, Brandon, for a “Marxist/Leninist” you sure aren’t very up on history. In the 30’s, Persia changed the name of its country to Iran, which I understand means “aryan” in Persian. The Persians were actively currying favor with the Nazis, who had a delegation there talking about oil supplies. According to more than a few historical accounts, Hitler was very pleased with the name change. The Persians and the Palestinians issued countless public statements during the 30’s supporting the Nazi erradication of Jews in Europe. The Grand Mufti of Palestine said, “we fully support German efforts to rid Europe of Jews.”


  114. Brandon Harris says:

    The U.S. is the most imperialist and domineering nation on the planet. The U.S. wants every country to do what it does. The U.S. demands that countries like North Korea and Iran do away with its nuclear program, but not Israel, France or itself.


  115. Bluedog49 says:

    It’s what Marx predicted would kill communism, Brandon, so you do indeed have one. You even call yourself a “Marxist/Leninist” instead of a “communist.” A “cult of personality” developed around Lenin and major party figures which clouded and diffused basic communist goals.


  116. Brandon Harris says:

    Bluedog49, you sound like you are kowtowing to the Zionists. Israel does not have any right to exist. Israel was just a western creation as an arm of the Pentagon to be used as a base for imperialism in the Middle East.


  117. WaltTheMan says:

    #42 – ItsJustKarma,

    I study and believe in the words of Marx, Lenin, Mao, Guevara, Qadhafi and Amilcal Cabral. I believe in the Guevarist view of bringing revolution to other countries.


  119. Bluedog49 says:

    You can believe what you like, Brandon. Marxism has been pretty well debunked as an effective way to run a society, but whatever. You are evidently unaware that the Zionist movement began back in the 20’s. After centuries of pogroms, forced expulsions, torture and executions, some Jews decided that the only way to move forward would be to create a Jewish state. Some wanted to put it right in Germany, but those who argued that Palestine was the original home won out. All through the 30’s, European Jews purchased land in what is now Israel from Muslims. Muslims sold the Jews land they thought was unusable.

    Now, if you think being aware of the history of this region and the Jews is “kowtowing,” whatever. I’m not a religious person and I have very mixed feelings about the Isralies and the Palestinians. I wouldn’t call myself a supporter of either party.

    And, look, Iraq is just as much a fiction as Israel if not more. It was set up by the British army. By your thinking, Iraq has no right to exist.


  120. Bluedog49 says:

    But, Iranian and Brandon, I will tell you what I don’t like. I don’t like Nazis and the fact that the Palestinians and Persians were Nazi collaborators has never sat particularly well with me.

    We must be going mad in this society. How good is money when your the only one left on the planet because everybody else is dead from the nuclear fallout.


  124. Bluedog49 says:

    Gosh, all I did was mention that they changed the name of their country to curry favor with Hitler and the “Iranian” ran off. Evidently, the truth hurts.


  125. Bluedog49 says:

    “Mr. Trump, I do respect as a businessman but sometimes money can cloud his human side.”

    Sure, Trump is a genius. He took a large inheritance and made it into more money. Genius!


  126. Bluedog49 says:

    Where’d the commie go. I was looking forward to explaining to him that a couple of guys on his commie list weren’t really commies. Maybe the commie wasn’t really a commie. You think? My call is still that he’s really a frustrated Bush cultist trying to prove, in his feeble way, that we are dangerous commies on this site.


  127. a says:

    Ok it’s seems EVERYONE has gon completly loony now, i don’t think Donald undertstands the implications of bombing Iran, particularly with US and UK troops sitting ducks on there doorstep.

    Is it really worth it ? has it come to this already ? the Irainians are between 6-8 years off building a nuke, and that conservative estimates, we’re being fed the same propaganda we saw before the Iraq invasion, it’s scary.

  129. Jake says:

    I thought Trump was against the war in Iraq.

    “Tell me something Bluedog49, why do you defend America?”

    Because I’m an American. Don’t let the fact that I think Bush is the worst president in history fool you. I’m a very patriotic guy. Our system is broken. But, my answer is to fix it, not destroy it. As far as I’m concerned, our Constitution and Bill of Rights are some of the most inspiring documents in the history of human civilization. Now, do me a favor, Brandon. Get back to RedState, or Little Green Footbals or FreeRepublic, whichever cave you usually hang out in and tell your friends that democracy is alive and well on the left!

  147. JTitor says:

    I really can’t figure out why anyone here is surprised that Trump would say something like this? Please understand; these peole don’t think like you and I. They have an agenda and don’t look at human life as anything but a commodity. Taking over any country is purely a business venture, and the world is a free market. If you really want to understand these people (NeoCons) then read works by Leo Strauss and his mentor Niccolo Machiavelli. If you really want to fight NeoCons, then you need to understand that they are not conservatives.

    Machiavelli’s political doctrine serves as the foundation of Neo-Conservatism and it denies the relevance of morality in political affairs. It states that that craft and deceit are justified in pursuing and maintaining political power. It implies that when it comes to achieving or maintaining power the end justifies the means. This is essentially the core of Machiavellianism and serves as the foundation for Neo-Conservatism: The priority for the power holder is to keep the security of the state regardless of the morality of the means. Machiavelli discusses frankly, the necessity of cruel actions to keep power. He was in the business of power preservation not piety. According to the originator of Neo-Conservative ideology the leader of the state must stick to the good so long as he can, but, being compelled by necessity, he must be ready to take the way of the evil.

    So when you approach a person that supports Bush all you need to do is show that person how this administraion has used the bill of rights and the constitution as his personal toilet paper. Remind conservavtives that think Bush is one of them that the second ammendment has been shoot to death. This is a very effective technique.

    Just something to think about.

  152. Brandon Harris says:

    I agree with you Tron. No one says anything about the U.S.S. Liberty being attacked by Israel. All the problems that the U.S. is having with Muslim countries is because of U.S. support for Israel.

    To Bluedog49, Iraq at one time was part of the Ottoman Empire. The British then controlled Iraq and then gave Iraq its independence and partitioned Iraq and took Kuwait away from them.

    Iran demands halt in US illegal moves in Iraq

    IranMania News – 31 minutes ago
    LONDON, January 13 (IranMania) – Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki condemned the US raid on Iran’s Consulate General in Erbil, saying such an attempt runs contrary to the Vienna Convention, IRNA reported.

  157. Brandon Harris says:

    The U.S. had no right to invade the Iranian consulate in Erbil, yesterday. This is a violation of international law. This is nothing more than imperialist aggression carried out by the U.S. to stifle Iran. Iran is a strong country and if the U.S. invades and attacks Iran, the U.S. will be very sorry.

    MUST READ BUSH CRIED SUPPOSEDLY

    http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/488076p-410941c.html

    President chokes up as he honors a war hero
    New York Daily News – 21 hours ago
    WASHINGTON – President Bush cried yesterday as he presented the Medal of Honor to the family of a New York Marine who dived on a grenade to save his comrades.


  159. Brandon Harris says:

    Bush can cry all he wants. He started this senseless ass war and will not end it. I think we should pull all troops out of Iraq and impeach Bush.


  160. Brandon Harris says:

    I strongly support the Iraqi resistance fighters who are fighting the U.S. imperialists in Iraq. They are fighting to defend Iraq’s sovereign integrity. The Iraqi military and their new President is just kowtowing to U.S. imperialists. Saddam Hussein was the best president Iraq ever had. Iraq was much better off with Saddam than they are now.

    If the U.S. would leave Iraq and restore national sovereignty over to the Iraqi people, the fighting would stop. I support the armed resistance because if you are occupied by America or some other nation, you have the right to fight for your freedom.


  161. Brandon Harris says:

    Now, Bluedog49, I know what you are going to probably say: “The Soviets invaded Afghanistan.” Now, that is false. In 1978, a group of leftist military officers overthrew the current Afghan government. They requested aid and help from the Soviet Union to stop the Islamic insurgency there. They never invaded Afghanistan.

    America has invaded and occupied Iraq for over four years. The Iraqi people never asked for our help. The only reason the U.S. invaded and occupied Iraq is so that they could take over Iraq and control Middle East oil. The U.S. wants to turn the Middle East into a military garrison.

  163. Donald Trump Says Iran Should Be Fired Upon at Passionate America says:

  164. turkeyfish says:

    For those who seem eager or see it as inevitalbe that we have to bomb Iran has it ever occurred to you what China or Russia might think of this? China gets a substantial portion of its oil from Iran and Russia sells it reactor technology. A disruption in its supply could cripple the the Chinese economy.

    I could easily see China and Russians responding by putting troops and anti-aircraft defenses in Iran to protect their vital interests. In the case of China, oil supplies (sort of reasoning the same way we do) and the case of the Russians nuclear reactors and other facilities they are building with the Iranians. This would greatly complicate our ability to “win” any such war.

    Do you really also want to start WW III and do you really think or fail to think like “the Donald”, that their large strategic arsenals could not potentialy target the US or its interests abroad? Should we kill their citizens as “collateral damage”. China might not be as inclined to look the other way as it did when an errant Cruise missle slammed into one of its embassies a number of years ago.

    Oh, you say we could just threaten them economically to stay out of it? By attacking Iran, we are indirectly attacking both of these nations as well as many others. Perhaps in your slumber you were unaware that China is one of our largest creditors and they might just yank the credit card our government is using to run up our war and domestic debts. Please the dollar is weak enough as it is and the world unstable enough as it is for us to live in such a fantasy world. Just to express their displeasure Russians could cut off oil and gas supplies to Europe to be sure that our few remaining European allies see the reason in staying on the sidelines. Many foreign governments world wide might be willing to “temporarily” look the other way as “terrorists” attack US interests on their soil, simply to get Americans to finally wake up to our own vulnerabilities. Lots of innocent people (INCLUDING YOU) could die.

    WE ALL LIVE IN HIGHLY INTERDEPENDENT WORLD AND WE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO GET ALONG SHORT OF IMMEDIATELY JUMPING AT THE CHANCE TO START KILLING EVERYONE ON THE PLANET! YES, WE COULD EASILY END IT ALL AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON, BUT THERE IS NO BUTTON TO PRESS TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

    MR. TRUMP AS A CITIZEN OF NEW YORK CITY, DON”T YOU RECOGNIZE THAT IF THINGS GET OUT OF HAND YOU LIVE IN A US CITY THAT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO GO? IS THIS WHAT YOU WISH FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

    PLEASE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO THINK, PLEASE TRY TO DO IT INTELLIGENTLY.

    WFIE-TV – 38 minutes ago

    Rice: Bush authorised raids on Iranians in Iraq

    Washington & Bahghdad: Recent US military raids against Iranians in Iraq were authorised by President George W. Bush under an order for a broad offensive against Iranian operatives in the country, the New York Times said on its Web site on Friday.

    “There has been a decision to go after these networks,” the Times quoted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying in an interview conducted on Friday before leaving on a Middle East trip.

    She said Bush issued the order several months ago “after a period of time in which we saw increasing activity” among Iranians in Iraq “and increasing lethality in what they were producing.”

    The Bush administration has long accused Iran of interfering in Iraq, including providing weapons and training to Shi’ite forces.

    But US military officials and Iranian exiles say there is increasing evidence that many of the most sophisticated roadside bombs being used against US troops are produced in Iran.

    Send George W. a message to appoint The Donald as Ambassador to Iraq. Special requirements are that The Donald must be present at the Embassy — on the job from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., five days a week . The Donald, no doubt, will be able to ignore all bombing in the neighborhood.

    Douchebag is indeed the perfect word. Who cares what he says or thinks? Why won’t they put me on TV to tell the petulent, pouty little douche to shut his hole? Why is he even on the air? I think they should take the tube out of the media like Terry Schiavo.Here is a picture of George W. Bush as Napoleon Bonaparte leading the charge while seated backwards on a horse in a peaceful pasture.


  178. dennis says:

    Donald who in their right mind listens to you in the firest place? If you like US to bomb Iran, why not you join the army and go Iraq in person and fight like a man rather than opening your big fat mouth. I guess you are a wimp but a wimp has some heart, but you don’t have heart either. It that case I do not know exactly what you are.


  179. notimpressedwiththeUS says:

    It is quite apparent that you (like other deluded al Crackkker inbred idiots) believe that somehow the U.S. (and by inference all “white” nations)…

    …possess some “divine” moral right to themselves possess and simultaneously DICTATE which countries can and cannot develop…

    …nuclear weapons…

    …EVERY country that has the wherewithall, determination, and know how deserves to be able to protect themselves against dominant hostile forces (like the criminal Bushite junta)…

    …If the U.S. doesn’t want the Iranians (or any other foreign nation) developing nuclear weaponry…

    …shouldn’t it lead by example (like DISMANTLING and negotiating with our allies to DISMANTLE THEIR nukes)?

    …Oh no, that’s right…the mighty al Crackkker adheres to a “different’ standard…

    …you hypocrites are pathetic!

    Unfortunately for you, the “backward” Iranians UNDERSTAND their sovereign rights of self-defense…

    Iran signed the NNPT that gives them the right to enrich uranium. The Zionist Regime in Israel has not signed the NNPT, and has Nookular WMD.
    The War in Iran will be the death of the Zionist Regimes in the US, UK, and Israel. If we are going to bomb nations in the middle east that defy the UN, that bully their neighbors, that use torture and collective punishment, that actually has WMD, we should bomb the heck out of that shitty lil ISRAEL!


  181. Bruce Gorton says:

    So basically, Donald Trump, after a few months ago stating that staying in Iraq is a distinctly bad idea, is now saying that America repeating the errors that trapped the US in Iraq, is a distinctly good one.

    Yeah, this guy sure is bright /sarcasm


  182. JoeC says:

    I’m guessing The Hair, aka The Donald, doesn’t own any real estate in Tehran or he’d be singing a different tune.

    I wonder what the Donald would say if Putin came on Russian television and told the world that because Americans are bad (7 million of them are either on parole or in prison), he was taking out New York City with a tactical nuke, and the collateral damage would be worth killing the bad people.

    Poor Donald…no income (tenants dead…), no insurance (The Prudential Insurance office got blown away, too…). No more Trump Parc, Trump Palace, or Trump Tower where The Hair lives in 30,000 square feet on the top 3 floors…and on the other hand, No Donald! ;-)

    Hey Donald, You’re fired.


  187. Rich says:

    Trump is merely stating out loud what the Bush/Cheney policy is. The White House has been making the Pentagon prepare a nuclear attack plan on Iran for many months. It’s totally totally scary, but Bush started laying the groundwork for doing it in his speech, as Trump points out. These guys are literally insane.

  192. fkay says:

    This guy wanted to run for president – oh my God. As long as he kept his mouth shut (before his show) I liked him but if you have ever heard him talk about different subjects he sounds like a moron (just like Bush). Them two are two peas in a pod.


  193. Bruce Gorton says:

    fkay

    Trump isn’t that good a business man. What has basically repeatedly saved him from going broke entirely, is the fact that his father was super, super rich. If you want to see who actually is good, look at Richard Branson and Bill Gates.


  194. Michael says:

    Why Donald Why, Don’t be so stupid that would kill innocent people and in that case you’re nothing but a terrorist just like bush. Go kill yourselves and your wannabe dictator friends!!!!

Who has no business trolling beauty pageants for his NEXT purchased wife. Or judging the morals of young women, period.

    Or ESPECIALLY espousing foreign policy. He has as much expertise there as he has buying wives.

    Capitalism sure sucks, Donald, and you’re the best example.

  204. Rota says:

    We don’t want Iran to have nukes in six years so we should go there and nuke them like we did Iraq and Afganistan with DU weapons?

    I don’t think we should worry about Iran when the U.S. is poisoning their own soldiers with nukes. Just take a look at the first gulf war. US forces suffered 147 battle-related and 235 non-battle-related deaths. Now just 15 years later, out of 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are dead, and by 2000 there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of disabled vets means that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served now have medical problems. The number of disabled vets reported up to 2000 has been increasing by 43,000 every year. Brad Flohr of the Department of Veterans Affairs said.

    Gulf War One went from the lowest casuality rate in a war to the highest. The enemy doesn’t have to kill our soldiers because we are killing them by forcing them to use illegal DU weapons. The really bad thing is we used a lot more of the DU weapons in this newest Iraq war/occupation and the soldiers are staying there much longer. Sadly I’m afraid they are doomed and all the so-called american patriots don’t want to hear it because they are too busy watching football games.

Saddam may or not have been their “best president,” but you must know that he was a rabid anti-communist. If you were living under Saddam as an outspoken communist, you would have been put to death. Here in our country, assuming you live in the U.S., you are fee to express any communist dogma, misinformation or revisionist history you like without fear of being thrown in prison simply for your words.

    Cannot wait for “Trump Tower Iran” and “Apprentice Iran” with a bunch of hustling overachiever wannabes in their turbans…
    Their first job: Clean up that radiation!

    I am sure The Donald is going to send Donald Jr and Ivanka off to fight the war because he supports the war so much he is willing to sacrifice his children, kind of like he made the sacrifice during Vietnam, oh, wait…he didn’t serve in Vietnam. Another rich man’s son whose place was taken by some poor soul who died. What a pig.

    Trump plan to invest his money or should i say in some real estate ventures in Iran after the war, but I doubt that is going to happing
    ( he’ll have to hire an private army, and you know they got a lot of them for hire).


  210. Joe Cortez says:

    Uh, and Donald thinks he has a voice in who we bomb next because…

    Wait, WHY is anyone talking about Iran again? The WMDs are in IRAN this time, is it?


  211. Mr. Constitutionalist says:

    The neo-con McCarthyists are bringing to fruition “1984″. Your cell phones are monitoring devices just is your computer, etc. Orwell stated that we will ask and pay for our own enslavement (think about it). “The New World Order” is here (google George H.W. Bush speech to the nation September 11th 1991 – exactly 10 years to the day of 9/11, another interesting coincidence) and is taking away your rights thru “false flag” operations such as 9/11. Google the newly declassified letter to John F. Kennedy by General Lemitzer describing these. The NWO is implementing slavery tactics by building thousands of “FEMA” camps and implementing rights evisceraters such as the “Patriot Act” and the “Military Commissions Act” whch destroyed 9 of the 10 portions of the “Bill of Rights” ( you can google Keith Olberman’s bill of rights rant). Folks wake up and do your homework! This country is gone. The globalists don’t want America to have borders, they want to combine Mexico, Canada and America into one country it’s called “The Project for a New American Century” or “PNAC”, you can google this, you’ll be suprised at the right wing nazi’s whose names are attached to this document!


  212. dana priest (NOT the D. C. reporter) says:

    Trump is a”rich” big mouth idiot who must be brain dead from using cocaine, booze and other types of drugs.

    WHAT an assinine statement to make!!!

    Let’s ALL hope that this idiot doesn’t decide to throw his “hat” into the ring for the 2008 presidential race!!!

    Someone needs to sew his mouth shut.


  213. Mr. Constitutionalist says:

    You are being brainwashed. You all are running around like mindless sheep believing anything this lying, corrupt government says. The government actually has you believing that what we are doing in Iraq is noble and just. They lied about everything that got us into Iraq and yet nobody is crying foul. Wow, isn’t that strange? And now you believe what they’re telling you about Iran. The news organizations are controlled by the globalists who tell you what they want you to hear. The gloabalist elite’s goal is many. Population reduction by 85% is just one of many plans for the future. You are being controlled by a “Psychological Operations” propaganda machine. Google “The Committe of 300″ and “The Council of Foreign Relations”. Harvard, Yale and big institutions like these are right-wing think tanks who are spitting out brainwashed right-wing idiots like Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly whose job it is to spiel propaganda for the neo-cons. Look under section 6166, they can now strip you of all of your rights and deny you legal counsel under this section. I emplore each and every one of you to watch “Terrorstorm”. It’s free and on google and will help in your de-programming. Good luck. I love this country and those of us who still believe in the constitution will understand that it is not only our right, but our responsibility to form militia’s to over-throw a governament that is acting irresponsibly…not-to-mention, attempting to enslave it’s own people. Under the “Posse Comitatus Act”, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act the military is not allowed to act in a law enforcement capacity within the UNITED STATES! And yet they were all over our airports this last New Years, etc. Terrorism comes out of every news casters mouth every 5 seconds on tv and radio…It’s Psy-Ops intended to scare you into giving up your rights. Hitler did it to his own people and promised them a Utopia, notice the similarities? Hitler btw, burned down his own “Reichstag” (similiar to our own congress” and blamed it on Poland…guess what, Poland was invaded…that’s FACT! 9/11 was Bush’s “Reichstag”. This is quite literally the beginning of the Fourth Reich. Wake up folks…for the sake of our future. Peace.


  214. Mr. Constitutionalist says:

    Notice how our cops are dressing in all black uniforms acting like strom-trooping thugs? They are being brainwashed into beliveing it is not only their right but their responsibility to take away your rights and dignity. They are being taught on the “FATS” training simulator to shoot without thinking. Notice the rise in “officer involved shootings”? They’re killing people on a massive scale and GETTING AWAY with it! Don’t believe what i am telling you. I emplore you all to do your own homework. Look up the facts surrounding 9/11. It was a self inflicted wound designed to scare you into giving up your freedoms. You can call me crazy, you can call me nuts…means nothing to me because it’s probably too late for this country anyway, all i’m doing is preparing you for the fall.
    Bush stated that if there is another terrorist attack, he would declare the U.S. under “Martial Law”, that means no more elections folks. Speaking of elections. Look into the election machines they are using by Diebold and ES&S which are responsible for counting over 80% of the vote. Diebold and ES&S are run by a former members of the CIA and the Pentagon http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=5517 , just one of many sites relating this fact. Good Luck with your de-programming process. The truth is not only much stranger than fiction, but it hurts to realize. They said “Well the Democrats will save us…they control the House and Congress now”…well i say, meet the new boss, it’s the same as the old boss. It’s the good cop, bad cop scenario. They keep us fighting about which side is better, the left or the right while they move their global domination plans forward. Tell me…if the Democrats are the big savior then why haven;t they began impeachment proceedings against Bush? Nancy Pelosi said idea thought was off the table. THey were griping about the war in Iraq and are now sending MORE TROOPS! Not bring them home. You know how they say never say never? Well i’m saying the troops in Iraq are NEVER coming home. Troops are not coming back reporting the building of schools and hospitals…they’re reporting that we’re building brick and mortar AMERICAN military bases from one end of Iraq to the other. Sure is some nice defense contracts in their for Haliburton, eh? Iraq was a pre-emptive move in the take over of the Middle East. The goal is to take over the Middle East and lock up the resources. Folks, just google, google and more google all these facts. But you better hurry, because they’re now attacking the internet and your right to speak freely on the net is next on their agenda….Peace and good luck.


  215. Granola Hippy says:

    You can’t really bomb a people as poor as the Iranians into submission. We’d better not effing try.


  216. John says:

  217. Post American says:

    Let’s bomb Trump Tower? Idiot!


  218. angry.in.NJ says:

    Another CHICKEN $*it with a @$*!ole for a mouth. Hey Donald if your a real businessman then you now the saying “put your money where your mouth is.” Hey Donald the Air Force is always recrcuiting. ANOTHER RICH BOY CHICKEN $*it looking for a fight they cant finish.

    Donald+WAR+Stock investments in Boeing=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I wish everyone in here that is against everything would be truthful and list their military experience………. Most are ZERO…… You can easily see the ones that vote to do something and if it doesn’t go well change their minds in mid- stream.
