On yesterday’s edition of The 700 Club, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson sharply criticized the “moderate tone” the Bush administration has allegedly taken toward Iran and its nuclear weapons program. Robertson advocated that Israel look out for the “survival of its nation” and “make some kind of a strike” against Iranian nuclear facilities. He also predicted that it will likely happen before the 2008 elections:
But nevertheless, I think we can look in the next few months for Israel to make a strike — possibly before the next election — because I think George Bush — to use the term an “amber light” — he’s given the amber, the yellow light, saying, “Caution, but go ahead.”
Watch it:
Robertson’s predictions often turn out to be wrong. In 2004, Robertson claimed that the Lord told him it would “be like a blowout” re-election for President Bush. (Bush ended up receiving just 51 percent of the vote.) In 2006, he incorrectly predicted that “the outcome of the war and the success of the economy will leave the Republicans in charge.”
He does, however, have an inside track into the Bush administration. Last year, Robertson’s Regent University estimated that one in six of its graduates were employed in government work. Approximately 150 served in the Bush administration.
Today, top McCain surrogate Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) is also talking to controversial Pastor John Hagee’s organization. In 2006, Hagee declared:
The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West… a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ.
Other members of the right wing have also been unifying around the idea of striking Iran before Bush leaves. Both John Bolton and Bill Kristol have made the same argument.

Transcript:
HOST: Do you see any resolution to this crisis with Iran?
ROBERTSON: I’ve been very surprised that we’ve taken the moderate tone we have so far. I think we’re making a mistake.
But with Israel, it’s not a question of whether they can be moderate or extreme. The question is the survival of their nation. And if Iran gets nuclear weapons, they have announced in advance they’re going to use them against Israel. And Israel has no choice but to make some kind of a strike against the Iranian nuclear facilities, and to do so fairly soon.
Nobody wants to do it, but nevertheless, they’re going to have no choice. They do have nuclear submarines they can launch cruise missiles from. I don’t believe the U.S. would allowing a refueling in Iraq, although some people have mentioned something like that.
But nevertheless, I think we can look in the next few months for Israel to make a strike — possibly before the next election — because I think George Bush — to use the term an “amber light” — he’s given the amber, the yellow light, saying, “Caution, but go ahead.”
Robertson, you’re an idiot.

Pat wants the end times to come as quickly as possible, not knowing that the God that primitive sheep herders made up is not real, these guys are sick in the head.
Sorta like Daryll, the “God told me Phuckabee is going to be president” loon.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:13 pmRobertson is an embarrassment to decent Christian folks everywhere. An evil individual that hides behind the facade of a religion that he uses for monetary gain.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:13 pmdandbrew, Israel has not demonstrated that they have anything to defend themselves from regarding Iran.

Israel, ( a nation chocked full of nukes), needs to defend ITSELF against Iran? That’s akin to saying we, the United States, arguably THE most powerful nation in the world, needed to defend ourselves from Iraq. These conflagrations are wars of choice, malevolence, greed, and arrogance. Just because we have more and bigger toys doesn’t mean no one else should be able to play on the playground.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:19 pmdandbrew, if i go over to your house and beat you down, I can’t claim that it was a pre-emptive strike
Israel is NOT being threatened by Iran.
Iran IS being threatened by Israel and their lackies in the Bush Admin.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:20 pmI wonder how God Himself feels about these idiots who are trying to hasten The Rapture on their own?
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:20 pmIt’s always “BOMB IRAN!” with these people. As if they’ll even mention “BOMB IRAN BECAUSE WE THING IT’ll BENEFIT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!”

Once the dems have fixed everything, and balanced the budget you can come back and pretend to be the party of morality and responsibility. While trolling for sex in public restrooms, of course.

Pat Robertson is what he has always been, a joke. From everything he says regarding his ability to turn away hurricanes by the strength of his prayer. He is the one that called for the killing of Chavez of Venezeula.
He is also the man that claimed he could bench press or use this legs to lift this huge amount of weight that no one in the world has been able to do. This is the man that when he ran for President lied about his war experience. He claimed to have been at the front. And as his war record was brought out, he had been a clerk and never got near the front of action. His lies and his actions say that Christianity would be hard pressed to find a bigger phony to represent it.
The religious community in this country have a great many charlatans and mega churches that take in billions of dollars. They use politics and yet still claim they should not pay taxes. Well when you insert your church into politics via your pulpit or the Whitehouse, then you should lose your tax exempt status. This man is about as spiritual George Bush. Which means it doesn’t mean a thing.
And for all the suckers who continue to send this man and men like him, their money, you deserve to be made fools of.

_____________________________________________________________
If Israel was being attacked by Iran, it would certainly be OK by almost anybody’s standards for them to defend themselves. And if Iran’s troops were lined up at the Israeli border, ready to invade, defense would be in order.
But the “pre-emptive strike” thing isn’t such a great idea. If the world has learned anything from the foreign policy blunder the United States made by invading Iraq, it should be that.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:25 pmmachost,
your example is too literal. these trolls will never allow themselves to understand that Iraq was anything other than a glorious crusade to save apple pie from being eaten by smelly brown people. As soon as you mentioned Iraq the Toby Keith soundtrack started playing in their heads and they couldn’t think of anything other than putting Toby’s boots up some A-rab’s ass.

There are many things wrong with the United States of America, but none of them warrant bombing them, killing many many innocent civilians and causing no end of crazy sh!t to happen after that.
The people of Iran expressed sympathy with the USA after 9/11 and even offered to help us track down and kill OBL, whom they hate as much as we do…that is until Chimpy put them on the Axis of Evil.
The people of Iran hate their gov’t as much as we hate ours. They too are being led by religious zealots who provide nothing to the people and then get up on the world stage and say idiotic things like “There are no homosexuals in Iran” and “Bring ‘em on.”
The people of Iran, the Islamic revolution not-withstanding, are a very pro-western culture people. They love rock, skiing, jeans, pretty much all the sh!t we have here.
Hopefully some of this answered your question…

Robertson’s predictions often turn out to be wrong. In 2004, Robertson claimed that the Lord told him it would “be like a blowout” re-election for President Bush. (Bush ended up receiving just 51 percent of the vote.) In 2006, he incorrectly predicted that “the outcome of the war and the success of the economy will leave the Republicans in charge.”
Yep, he certainly has the (unintentional) gift of prophecy. If he says it, pretty much believe the opposite.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:34 pmRobertson says God is messing up what may be the last chance for Armageddon! If God won’t do it, he’s asking George W. Bush to end the world before it’s too late!

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:40 pmThere’s a good reason for Marion (Pat’s given name which he rejected because it’s too “feminine”. BTW, isn’t rejecting one’s given name the ultimate in disrespecting one’s parents? Shouldn’t he be stoned to death and sent to Hell for that alone?) to hope Israel strikes Iran. It just might trigger a nuclear war which, for Marion, is as close to the Rapture as he’ll ever get.
Fortunately, the Israelis are not stupid or reckless. Iran is not Lebanon or Syria. Iran is not ruled by the, universally despised, Palestinians. If Iran were bombed, every single radical Shia, and a great many moderates and other Muslims, would drown Israel in blood. Their only recourse would be their nukes, and I don’t think anyone really thinks they could “win” a nuclear war. Especially since they would be covered with their own fallout.
No Marion. Israel is not going to fulfill your perverted dream of Armageddon. It would require Bushian stupidity to make such a move. But, by all means, feel free to hold your breath.

What world are we living in ?!!!.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pmThis guy supposed to be preaching peace !!!, instead he is calling for pre-emptive military strike which might lead to a big human catastrophe.
He wants war with Iran fast before Bush leaves office. It is the same Neocons call and desire for a big war.
He is not the only one.
Pastor Hagee, Parsley and many others share the same views and calling for wars that can cause deaths and starvations to millions of people.
They call for war in the Middle East to fulfill their Biblical interpretations and prophecies.
A war that can create famine,destruction and total world economical collapse.
How can this man call himself a religious person calling for pre-emptive strike which will lead to a big devastating war? !!
a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ.
Dude’s got to be kidding.
That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.
My personal favorite bumper sticker:
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pmNuke Gay Whales for Jesus
dandbrew, “devil’s advocate…”
So…on the other hand…
What’s so great about Israel?
It illegally occupies Palestinian land.
It regularly conducts collective punishment on the Palestinians as a whole.
It engaged in a war of aggression against Lebanon, using illegal munitions against civilians.
It is the only ME nation with nuclear weapons.
It has the largest and most up to date air-force in the region—one of the largest in the world in fact.
It illegally attacked Syria.
Israel is the most aggressive nation in the region.
It regularly steals US secrets.
It destroyed the unarmed USS Liberty killing approximately half the crew and wounding the other half—an Act of War by any standard.
It was the US that defended Israel from Iraqi Scuds during the Gulf War.
Israel’s most significant domestic manufacturing trade with the US is ‘Ecstasy’.
Israel probably can’t survive without US protection and financing. But everything it does—in the public view anyway—it does strictly for its own interests and without regard for international conventions and laws, including “biting the hand that feeds it”.
What’s so great about Israel?
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pmIt was Paul, I believe in perhaps Acts or Romans in the New Testament that stated “but all of us will be changed, in a flash, in the blink of an eye, …” The later Christians use this statement to partly explain their term “Rapture.”
There’s something else that will change people in a “blink of an eye.” A nuclear bomb. We’ve seen it…in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
As for you, Darryll, you are one misguided and misled sheep. You have fallen prey to those Jesus warned against: wolves in sheep’s clothing who would lead the elect astray and into perdition. Remember that we were warned, as a way to identify the spirits, a good tree doesn’t produce rotten fruit. Now apply that axiom to what we’ve seen, both nationally and internationally, in the past almost 8 years. Think upon it.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pmI don’t imagine that Israelis wake up in the morning and think, “Hmmm, how can we help the Christians bring about the rapture more quickly so that they can prove our religion to be wrong and they vanish up to heaven and leave the rest of us here to suffer the tribulation?”
If anything, Israeli politicians are thinking, “Hey, we can get the dumba$$ Americans to do anything we want by letting them buy into the lets-bring-about-the-rapture bullsh*t!”

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pmUh, unlike our leaders, the Iranians understand that they will run out of oil one day so they have started to plan for that day by developing nuclear power plants. They have been working on this for years, but all of the sudden they are a threat and are making bombs. Who says?

Iran should be allowed to make whatever they want. It’s their land and their people. Iran has a right not to be bullied and definitely a right to defend itself.
Strange how interlopers can have more power than the natives.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 pmDARYLL!!! YOU FORGOT TO CAPITALIZE “his”!!! BLASPHEMER!! I CAST OUT THE DEE-MAHN IN-SAHD JOO!!! Feel the spirit! Only 19.95 cash or credit! Buy my complete video set and be holy!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 pmI just noticed that Daryll, the serial liar and slave of Jesus, has graced us with it’s presence. I have a question Daryll.
Is it not a mortal sin to reject the name one’s parents give you? I’m pretty sure there’s a passage in the Buy-bull which says something about stoning disrespectful children.
Logically, shouldn’t Marion “Pat” Robertson be stoned to death? After all, he’s a disrespectful son who rejected his given name.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 pm“I rebuke the satanic spirit that allows you to mock God, IN JESUS NAME! I wish I was near you, because I would lay hands on you to remove the devil and set you free. Follow Acts 2:38 and continue to follow his biblical principles. God is real.”
Daryll:
Will this involve shaking the devil off because I don’t really go that way not that there is anything wrong with it.
A know and there is a hell of a lot of zgods. Me I dig those colorful Hindu ones. There are so much more interesting but to each their own as they say.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 pmRobertson’s predictions often turn out to be wrong. In 2004, Robertson claimed that the Lord told him it would “be like a blowout” re-election for President Bush. (Bush ended up receiving just 51 percent of the vote.) In 2006, he incorrectly predicted that “the outcome of the war and the success of the economy will leave the Republicans in charge.”
_________________________________________________________
Hmmm…Pat Robertson’s track record sounds about as impressive as Daryll’s. Remember the “president-elect Huckabee” routine?
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 pmYou did it TWICE!!! DOUBLE DEE-MAHN!!!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 pmEither one of two things cause Pat Robertson’s “connection” with God:
1. a tumor in his head…that of the softball variety
OR
2. a combination of drugs…prescription and marijuana or peyote that he uses under the “religious ceremony” label
Either would also shed light onto his on-air shakes that he doesn’t claim as Parkinson’s…maybe not enough vitamin C…as in being anywhere near a good Christian.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 pmDo these apocalyptic morons have single clue what their talking about??
Are they trying to start WW 3 ?? Do they really want this to happen??
Isn’t there a law that says inciting global conflict is against the law??
These folks should be arrested today - thrown in a dark hole - and the hole should be cemented over- today!!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 pmHOWEVER MUCH AN IDIOT HE IS, ROBERTSON IS PRESSING FOR A THEOCRATIC FASCIST STATE TO BE RULED BY “CHRISTIAN” PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD CRIMINALIZE FREE THINKERS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO IS OF RATIONAL MIND.

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:49 pmDaryll, I thought you were onto something with your “shaking the devil” and your sticky Bible, a weird fetish for sure, but still no harm from gluing a few pages together for Jesus. But now you are advocating killing a lot of innocent people for Jesus. That’s just wrong.
Stick with your original plan and show your love of Jesus by whacking off to the pretty pictures in the Bible. Is it Joseph that gets you over the edge? Pictures of Mary? Tell me it’s not the little donkey. Maybe the donkey and Mary in a love scene in your twisted mind?
You are seriously one sick fck.

This is a window into your mind that you probably would like to close sir. Progressives have principals. the fact that we are hoping that a nation whose policies we do not approve of is not attacked without just cause proves that. The fact that you would think you have a winning argument with this line of reasoning only proves how morally bankrupt you and your side is.

Also, are you mixing your cloths–because God hates that too!

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 pmOn one level, roger, the high price of gas is pushing some the SUV nuts to start living in economical America, as well as encouraging the 85-mph freaks to slow down, even those doing 85 mph in small cars. The sad truth is that this is the only way to get guzzling America to curb its approach to consumption. I wish it didn’t have to be, but it appears to be the only way in this center-right country.
If only those who made an effort to conserve from the beginning, especially those on low incomes, transporters, and the USPS et al weren’t hit, I wouldn’t care about high gas prices. But you come to realize it’s gone to far when the good people get hit the worst.
This is the path to renewable, clean energy sources. Like it or not. Ironically enough, we didn’t ask for it to happen this way.

How about the fact that Iran is a country with living and breathing human beings? Or does humanity not mean anything to you? Whether or not we agree with their politics does not give us the right to take innocent lives just because we feel like it. Besides, we all live in a country with a stupid pigheaded leader too, but that doesn’t mean we deserve to die because of it.

What world are we living in ?!!!.
This guy supposed to be preaching peace !!!, instead he is calling for pre-emptive military strike which might lead to a big human catastrophe.
He wants war with Iran fast before Bush leaves office. It is the same Neocons call and desire for a big war.
He is not the only one.
Pastor Hagee, Parsley and many others share the same views and calling for wars that can cause deaths and starvations to millions of people.
They call for war in the Middle East to fulfill their Biblical interpretations and prophecies.
A war that can create famine,destruction and total world economical collapse.
How can this man call himself a religious person calling for pre-emptive strike which will lead to a big devastating war? !!
These people are the infamous “false prophets” that Christians were warned about and given a way to diagnose them as such. The most important role of the Christians, bastardized by those who used it for power and alignment with a State. Rome first. Robertson is religious, but so were the priests of some ancient cultures that called for human sacrifice. “Christians” that call for war and destruction are simply wearing a mask that disguises their true origin. As said in my earlier post, “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

Iran is in some ways a progressive nation and in some ways a very regressive one. True, their human rights record, particularly their treatment of women, is appalling. But they are also a vibrant democracy with publically-financed health care and higher education.
We don’t hate Iran, but we would like to see them become a more free and open society. We also know that the way to encourage that is not by dropping bombs on them. War is not the answer.
The only reason we seem to defend them all the time is because you shmucks on the right are threatening to bomb the crap out of them every other day. If you were threatening to bomb Colombia or Zimbabwe or Albania every we’d be arguing against it just as vehemently.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:03 pmI like the parts of the Bible that I just totally ignore, so I can live my life without worrying what the authors of it were thinking in the 3rd Century.
