Who’s paying you? Come clean and say it!

The British are “allways on board” They’re American prostitutes!

Where’s the proof that they have a bomb or intend to have it? Or are we fighting a “straw man” to get their oil?

Don’t lie; you never saw me doing that! Slander is not going to make you any more credible.

As self-fulfilling prophecies go, it would seem the US is determined Iran will have the bomb, doesn’t it? Of course, living in an neighborhood too small to survive nuclear attack yet being the first to introduce nuclear weapons to it has long struck me much the same way. It would seem only time and persistence are required, really.

I think the bible should be labeled a terrorist book. If this is what 2000 years has led to, then perhaps we should depending on each other, science, technology, and art, instead of this bloodbath.

My fear tonight as I read Seymour Hersh’s report about the plan by Bush, Cheney, Lieberman, Freedom Watch and others for “surgical” strikes against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is that Americans will react with the same gleeful excitement when they hear about the bombing of Iran.

Isn’t it ironic that the Kyl-Lieberman amendment (with the REALLY inflammatory phrases removed, thank goodness) names the Iranian Rev Guard as a terrorist organization. How convenient.

Many Dems realize the truth but cannot say it for fear of losing support.

Iran’s president is not as powerful as most Americans think. Much of what he says, such as condemning Israel, is rhetoric to gain political support.

BTW-who was that insightful person you quoted?

It is not the size of our government that is wrong with this country. It is the stranglehold corporations have on our country that is wrong. We would not still be in Iraq if the defense contractors weren’t getting very rich off of the death and destruction they support. We really should rename us “The United Corporations of America”.

It’s time for us to take back our government and make it do what the framers of our constitution intended it to do, to promote the general welfare of the people of this country. And we are not promoting the general welfare when we allow our infrastructure to crumble and consider medical care a privilege and not a right. And we do all this so that the rich can get richer and the poor can get poorer. The framers of our constitution must turn over in their graves each night to see what Bush has done to our government.

That’s a point so many people are missing. Who in hell are we to say who can have a nuke and who can’t. Iran can’t have one because they have a nutjob as their Leader. A nutjob that no one in that country supports, but will support if we or Israel attacks them. What puzzles me is France getting involved in this mess. What did Bush offer the new leader of France to get him all ginned up about Iran?

I am also puzzled as to why our Democrats in Congress don’t see this. Why do they think they have the right to determine who should and should not have a nuclear bomb? Who appointed them god? And this stupid Iran “sense of the senate” bill they just passed is nuts. They are condemning Iran for something that our government “thinks they are doing”. Didn’t they learn their lesson from Iraq. You think they would be asking for proof before they start condemning people.

I say we throw them all out in the next election and start all over again with a new set of representatives. The ones we have now ARE NOT working in our best interests.

No, Dems are not as crooked as Repubs. That would be very difficult to do. Elect good Dems like Kucinich instead of bad Dems like Traficante or Jefferson.

The federal government is not too big. The problem is it often is not geared to deal with the needs of the American people. We should not be spending $950 billion every year for military needs (all things considered). We should have single-payer, government-run healthcare.

So Right Wing Loon Jason, what’s the hurry. Iran may have a nuclear weapon in 7 to 10 years. What’s the rush? And how is Iran undermining Iraqi sovereignty? Most people in Iran are Shiites and the major party in Iraq now are Shiites. According to Bush Iran is in Iraq trying to kill Americans, so if this is true (which I doubt), then Iraq wants them there and isn’t afraid they will threaten their sovereignty. What DOES threaten their sovereignty (Iraq’s) is the United States occupying their country and telling them what to do and how to do it.

If that’s what Israel wants to do, then let them. It’s not our problem. When did defending Israel become our primary focus in the Middle East? If Israel would just shut up and mind it’s own business, things would be much better in the Middle East.

Mostly Christians??? Huh? WTF???

So, you are opposed to Bush’s wars? If so, I think other posters should ease up on you. I thought a while back you were defending Bush and his lack of evidence.

Am I the only one having trouble with my browser? Or is the problem at TP’s end?
