- quesi, on 05/06/2008, -9/+181I shut off my cable. Can't deal.
We must remember the lead in to Iraq - why are we going to let them gank us again? - DeskFlyer, on 05/06/2008, -6/+148He exaggerated and/or lied about Cuba, Syria, Iraq, and now Iran. Someone get this ***** off tv.
- tiredofit, on 05/06/2008, -10/+148John Bolton is an arrogant *****. In addition to that, he is full of *****.
- Apokalyps2547, on 05/06/2008, -8/+141Nope. Fortunately for us:
Iran does not have the bomb.
Iran is holding nobody hostage.
Iran isn't threatening squat.
Iran has the GDP of Connecticut and the defense budget of Sweden (that pillar of militarism!) We'll be okay. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -8/+126"Striking Bolton in the face with a shovel would be prudent".
- macsen, on 05/06/2008, -27/+138Do you think it would be okay for the U.S. to have a nuclear arsenal and hold the world hostage with threats of using it? Or more to the point, with threats of using it against Iran? Iran hasn't invaded anyone, hasn't broken any laws, and has every right to nuclear power. Of course, I think that all nuke-plants should be banned, but that would have to start with the U.S. not Iran.
- Bagos1, on 05/06/2008, -18/+126Bolton is a member of JINSA. He works for Israel, not The United States.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -4/+71We should strap Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the warmongers with parachutes and drop them in Iran so they can go fight there stupid little war since they believe it's so important.
- cg4et, on 05/06/2008, -4/+71It's all happening again. The same stuff, the same drumbeat for war. I can't believe it is happening again.
- kooft, on 05/06/2008, -7/+68"Iran does not have the bomb-yet."
And they won't have the bomb because according to US intelligence the Ayatollahs ordered all military nuclear activity stopped, in 2003, and they have the final word in all matters.
"Good grief, they have stated many times that they intend to wipe Israel of the face of the earth."
Never has any Iranian leader said such a thing. Show me the text (in Farsi) that says so. The only thing close, that I've seen, is the Iranian leader saying he predicts the regime occupying Jerusalem to go the way of the USSR and the Shah. Not quite genocidal holocaust now is it?
"You must live under a rock if you think Iran hasn't threatened anyone."
Why shouldn't Iran threaten others? They've been subjected to war and oppression by the West for over 50 years. I mean, if the US has the right to invade Iraq in the name of security, then Iran has the right to respond similarly doesn't it? Or do you believe that only the US has the right to destroy another nation in the name of 'security'? - Winston84, on 05/06/2008, -13/+68Bolton is an insane Jewish racist and neo-con nazionist, the World will be a safer place once he is dead .
- kooft, on 05/06/2008, -4/+57And in the mid-50's the nuclear US and the nuclear UK toppled the democratically elected Prime Minster of Iran and installed a dictator in his place. So much for your theory on the US being responsible for 'free society'.
Ignorance is no excuse, go read a history book. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -2/+54I love how we can sit around and talk about obliterating countries. I wounder what would happen if another country started deciding that they would air material like this against the United States.
- duggtodeath, on 05/06/2008, -6/+57Bolton is truly a piece of *****. I guess we just wait for the inevitable false flag attack to 'justify' an invasion and permanent occupation.
- toddcat, on 05/06/2008, -6/+56So what I am going to do is launch weapons from the secrecy of my 18 foot wide moustache. Go fight Bolton, ya chickenhawk.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -4/+51I can, because ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was done about it the last time.
And it seems absolutely nothing will be done about it in the future. Ron Paul and Kucinich tried, through different accountability bills, impeachment resolutions, anything and both Democrats and Republicans refuse to vote in favor of anything.
They won't investigate just how falsified information was presented by elected heads of state to Congress, they won't investigate the VERY CLEAR conflict of interests of war mongerers that just happen to benefit from defense contracts.
Lying to the American people, unjustified war, crimes against humanity (that's what torture is), ridiculous spending, outsourcing military operations when you have the most powerful army in the world, etc. etc. etc.
8 years of *****, theft, lies, and high crimes and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was done about it.
And now you're getting another fake election. Because nothing was done about those either. Remember 2000 when hundreds of thousands of people claimed they were denied the right to vote? And Gore still won the general elections by 550,000 votes and Bush became your president?
How about when the same damn thing happened in 2004?
How about diebold machines being hacked and the guy hired to do it testifying in court that he was asked to do it and then nothing? Not even mentionned in the news? Here he is:

Why would you be surprised? - toddcat, on 05/06/2008, -4/+49Dude, quit with the fearmongering. Most of the rest of the world is scared ***** about what the hell the US is going to do next. These neo-cons like to simultaneously paint the US as the pre-eminent superpower but yet also as such a vulnerable country that we have to be armed in order to defend ourselves from evil Eye-raqis, or Eye-ranians, or whoever the hell their villain of the moment is. Dept. of Defense more honestly would be titled Dept. of Offense.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -6/+51I can haz moar war plez?
- mrcoderga, on 05/06/2008, -3/+46"The most famous case of recent years was the evidence given to a Congressional Committee in the run-up to the Gulf War.
A young Kuwaiti woman said that Iraqi soldiers had ripped babies from incubators after their invasion. The Committee was much moved.
It turned out that the young woman was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador and that there was no credible evidence for her claim.
That case showed the value of black propaganda - it is designed for the short term."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1832200.stm - jimfeet, on 05/06/2008, -6/+48Let's see if we can do this without undue emotion and nationalism. I know! Compare the wars the US started in the past two decades vs. the number the Iranians have started.
OK, now that we've done that, of the two, which qualifies as the warmonger? - JDenigma, on 05/06/2008, -5/+46It goes to show how stupid we human beings have become.
The worship and deification of the State much like with religion, leads to a mindless, sycophantic population loving the whips from its master. Bunch of mindless, brainwashed drones people are. - sonaboy, on 05/06/2008, -4/+43stop ***** crying for Israel - they have quite a large array of defenses. They can take care of themselves if someone attacks them. Another war will just flush billions more down the toilet when it's much more desperately needed here.
- Waiting2awake, on 05/06/2008, -7/+45Really - get out more. Doesn't it strike you as being slightly odd that the powers that be, the ones that lied to you about Iraq, and the slam dunk that that case was - are telling you pretty much the exact same thing about Iran now as they did with Iraq then?
ALso, isn't it also slightly concerning that they wrote that this is what they would do in their PNAC? - Winston84, on 05/06/2008, -5/+43What do you mean, that's what you have been doing since 1945 .
The problem in the middle-east is that only Israel has nukes, allowing them to do what the hell they please .
For nukes to have a peace-keeping effect there needs to be " MAD " or "Mutually Assured Destruction"
And frankly I don't give a flying ***** how many times, if any, Ahmedinejad has "threatened to whipe Israel off the map"
this happening is about as credible a threat as Manuel Noriega invading the US . - dondara, on 05/06/2008, -4/+42Good, let Israel invade Iran and leave us out of it. I'm tired of those ***** starting ***** and expecting us to back them up. Virtually all of our problems in the Middle East are due to our support of Israel and their land snatching.
- Dumbledorito, on 05/06/2008, -6/+42"We estimate that once Iraq acquires fissile material - whether from a foreign source or by securing the materials to build an indigenous fissile material capability - it could fabricate a nuclear weapon within one year."
- John Bolton
And we all know how true THAT was, don't we? - devophl, on 05/06/2008, -2/+36I suspect the neo-cons are really worried that their grand strategy to control vital parts of the Middle East will be derailed if the next president is a Democrat. Why not get the war with Iran going now so the next president has to deal with Iran.
- kemp34, on 05/06/2008, -6/+38The "wipe Israel off the map" comment was a misinterpretation of a much different statement.
- vanzan, on 05/06/2008, -2/+33I am really starting to think that Ahamdinajad has more brains than this dude.
- CanIGetAWitness, on 05/06/2008, -10/+41and on Fox, couldn't of seen that coming.
- redmannine, on 05/06/2008, -4/+35we have no reason to attack Iran. our troops are already stretched thin and worn by our historically epic blunder in Iraq. It would be as logical as screwing holes in the hull of a sinking ship.
We cannot trust these War-hawks and fear mongers, and shouldn't listen to them. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -6/+36Is it okay for the US? UK? France? Russia? China? India? Pakistan? Israel?
- quesi, on 05/06/2008, -4/+33Thanks. No kidding. Talk about hook line and sinker...
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -3/+32I think that we do not understand the real power of the media. Television mesmerizes people, the beta waves in their brains decrease significantly when people watch TV. So they don't really process information, it basically enters symbols and keywords tied to emotions direcly into their deep memory. For that reason, corporations spend billions of dollars on TV advertising every year - because it works!
People cannot watch a lot of TV, especially without reading or listeneing to other forms of information, without being bent to believe the official line.
If people don't turn off the tube and think for a change, nothing in this country will change, things will not get better, we will be constantly involved in war and our personal financial situations will become increasingly precarious.
As George Carlin says "they got us by the balls!" - Feralvision, on 05/06/2008, -2/+31I think your paranoid delusions are getting the better of you. Time to lay off the crack pipe.
- Feralvision, on 05/06/2008, -6/+34Not going to tolerate what exactly bolton you sad little man. Your own intelligence agencies have already to you that Iran halted it nuclear weapon development years ago. And now the Iraqi government have informed us that there is NO evidence that Iran is arming the 'insurgents'. So please do tell me what all this childish sabre rattling rhetoric is about?
- cvelusc, on 05/06/2008, -2/+30Attacking Iran is the last thing we need to be doing right now. I've contacted my senators and they don't seem to be interested in my opinion. I don't know what else to do.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -3/+31John Bolton is just another America hating neo con.
- kemp34, on 05/06/2008, -2/+28So if China took out and occupied Canada and Mexico and threatened the U.S. and some of our people on the borders fought with Chinese troops, it would be ok for China to start bombing us? This is nearly an exact analogy.
- neognostic, on 05/06/2008, -1/+26The line forms behind me.
- Waiting2awake, on 05/06/2008, -3/+28and insanely entertaining.
- Jexie, on 05/06/2008, -1/+26Don't forget about Chile, that Pinochet was a real peace and freedom loving kind of guy!
- Waiting2awake, on 05/06/2008, -4/+28Crazy talk man...pure crazy talk!
- jezsik, on 05/06/2008, -1/+25"Iran does not have the bomb-yet." Big deal, neither do the Crips or the Bloods and I'm a damn shade more frightened of them. Pakistan, on the other hand, already HAS the bomb AND a delivery system.
- kayvman78, on 05/06/2008, -1/+25I think shaving that pubic hair from his lip would be the most prudent thing to do.
- jezsik, on 05/06/2008, -0/+24I don't understand, why would you need parachutes?
- toddcat, on 05/06/2008, -2/+26I think that is how he intended prudent to be used, yes.
- Waiting2awake, on 05/06/2008, -3/+26Wait until you see others, some 7 years removed of hearing these exact same lies before, fall for them again..because....
The smoking gun could come in the form of a mushroom cloud......
