- CreatureLady, on 06/04/2008, -122/+1052To be clear, Senator Obama said that he will do everything within his power to eliminate the threat from Iran. He did not say he would try to eliminate Iran, as the title of this digg post implies. There's a difference.
- jhuckabee, on 06/04/2008, -92/+343Buried for misleading title. Obama will eliminate THREAT of Iran. He's no George Bush or John McCain.
- mitchellk, on 06/04/2008, -62/+231Didn't he just say a week or two ago that Iran, Venezuela, etc. were TINY countries that were no threat to the US?
- Demolama, on 06/04/2008, -68/+223what Iranian threat? What could that country possibly do to the United States? Its the same type of BS that said Iraq was a threat to the US that got us into Iraq to begin with. Same old song and dance... Enjoy your change
- s2ao, on 06/04/2008, -76/+227So CHANGE is same old "unconditional support to Israel" ?
So disappointing -- we all hoped for better, more intelligent workd from Obama... - jstohler, on 06/04/2008, -25/+141I have no idea why you're being dugg down -- your description is 100% correct. Obama didn't say anything about eliminating Iran, only their nuclear weapons.
Buried for inaccuracy. - jgar, on 06/04/2008, -65/+156It's time to wake up people, Both parties are controlled by the same people.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -100/+190Did he use the word obliterate too?
they are all the same.
Ron Paul 2008 - stevetrojanman, on 06/04/2008, -103/+186Oh the irony is thick here...
What are the diggers to do? Their savior is a warmonger just like satan incarnate (read Bush). Impossible!
Can't wait for the justification of Obama's stance to arrive in full force on this one... - PongGod, on 06/04/2008, -56/+138Spoken like a true "peace" candidate.
Obama's change = more of the same. - lukeev, on 06/04/2008, -13/+90I never thought I'd see the day when politicians lied their asses off. Never.
- jstohler, on 06/04/2008, -27/+103No one here read the article.
- Tess101, on 06/04/2008, -61/+133But I thought Obama wasn't for the Lobbyists, or am I wrong on that. We need to stop being so pro-Israel, and more pro-America. I am so tired of hearing about Israel, and how we must continue to aid them, this has gone on way too long. We all know that the majority of the banking cartels are led by the Jewish people, yes I know I will get a lot of slack on that one, but the truth is often hard for people to swallow. Let's be Pro-America, and less pro other nations okay. Quite frankly, I am tired of supporting a nation like Israel that is just egging America into war with middle eastern nations just so they can be in control.
- wild, on 06/04/2008, -19/+89You know, you can be an ignorant jackass, or an informed jackass. You are clearly the former.
The actual article title: "Obama vows to stop Iran from having nuclear arms"
And the description pulls a partial quote out of context. Burying this tripe as inaccurate. - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -30/+93Buried, Eliminate Iran=/= Eliminate threat from Iran
- jonmlm, on 06/04/2008, -21/+80um. headline doesnt match the quote.
- brightlight4, on 06/04/2008, -31/+85I really do hope that Obama is not falling into the Israeli lobby arms already!!!! We do not need a war with Iran too!!!
- JKap, on 06/04/2008, -86/+140Obama will make an excellent president of Oceania here in 1984.
- JKap, on 06/04/2008, -84/+138Attack Iran? Yes we can!
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -54/+107There's only one. It's still not to late. RON PAUL...if they don't put him on the ballot, WRITE HIM IN!
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -20/+73Yep, Obama will make a change. He will change from Iraq to Iran.
- silentboom, on 06/04/2008, -148/+197There is no difference in Hitlery, Obamanation or McWar. They will all attack Iran because that is the POLICY! Pre-emptive war. Do not be fooled by these liars, look at their voting records, not one of them actually stands for anything.
- THETEH, on 06/04/2008, -24/+72He did not say he was going to eliminate Iran. He said he wanted to eliminate a threat.
What's the matter, digg? Hillary's not around to bash anymore, so you immediately turn on Obama? - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -33/+732012 does now really look like the point of no return, doesn't it?
- PongGod, on 06/04/2008, -56/+95Obama is for change... all the change in our pockets.
- jmf866, on 06/04/2008, -68/+105All according to plan. Now the mindless Obamadrones will be converted to warmongers, just as the Bushdrones were 6 years ago. The fusion of both "parties" is nearly complete.
- lukeev, on 06/04/2008, -15/+50So true. Can't wait for the squirming and excuses. Then again most Obamamanics will read the headline and choose to ignore it. Blind faith.
- digitronix, on 06/04/2008, -15/+49The president has no constitutional authority to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. What Obama can do instead is to disband nuclear weapons in the United States and set a shining example for other nations.
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -27/+61What does eliminating the threat entail, other than the same thing it did in Iraq.
Do you realize that other than the Bushes, a Democrat has started since World War Two (We will say Japan started WWII for us, even though it is because of FDR that they attacked, see Backdoor to War). - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -41/+74I will bring to the White House an unshakable commitment to Israel's security.
That starts with ensuring Israel's qualitative military advantage.
Will ensure Israel can defend itself from any threat, from Gaza to Tehran.
NOW I feel better! Good to know politicians whether black, white, man or woman are owned by the same criminals. Gets you right here doesn't it? - stevetrojanman, on 06/04/2008, -8/+41This is true...sometimes Israel does remind me of that little 5'3" 130 lb. guy with a loud mouth talking about how tough he is knowing full well that he's got a best friend that's 6'5" 240 lbs. standing right behind him for backup...
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -6/+37Pretty much. A lot of Republicans now want to stamp out the Islamic nations, and the Democrats want to go to war with any country having a humanitarian issue. Once both of the parties were against war, now they are both for it. It seems the United States once again is an Imperialist.
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -5/+35Israel is the United State's little baby. We feel that we must take care of it (which is funny because Great Britain created the nation). Really, we should be minding our own business and let Israel handle itself. Israel is a country capable of defending itself, and the United States needs to get out of its affairs. Protecting Israel is bad for our own national security because the other middle eastern countries are threatened by Israel, and we only rub salt in the wounds.
- skizzabadoo, on 06/04/2008, -9/+38Actually, he was saying that compared to the threat of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Iran and Venezuela are tiny threats. He wasn't saying that they don't pose a potential threat to our allies, but it is tiny compared to the Cold War.
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -7/+36What is Iran going to do to the United States? Really, if they turned around and attacked Israel with a nuke, the Jewish Republic would turn around and nuke them (Israel does have nukes, as most of the world knows and accepts).
Also, a governmental report even stated that Iran is not developing nuclear technology for military use.
People need to stop seeking monsters in the rest of the world and mind our own business. Hunting for bears only gets the United States hurt. It is called blowback, and if you want to experience it again, then go ahead and attack Iran, but if you value your saftey, leave the country alone. They are only dangerous to the United States if the United States messes with them and they feel threatened.
You people are just asking for another Vietnam and Iraq. - lukeev, on 06/04/2008, -7/+36Don't forget those crafty leprechauns of mass distraction hiding underneath the desert sands!
- PongGod, on 06/04/2008, -5/+33Yeah, politicians actually LYING? Outrageous!
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -9/+37He's got my vote. Why would I bother voting for ObamaCain?
- sagat, on 06/04/2008, -26/+53Dissapointed at his stance on Israel, questions need to be asked about America's role in supporting that nation with a massive amount of tax payer funds. Ensuring their security is one thing and I can agree with it. However if we really want that region at peace America is going to have to force Israel to make serious concessions to the Palestinians. Until the extremists can stop pointing the finger at Palestinian sufferring and the US / Israeli coalition that causes it, then ***** like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will always have a route to power.
- btschul, on 06/04/2008, -14/+40FYI; Ron Paul is still in the running
- gremlinperson, on 06/04/2008, -13/+39Buried for inaccurate headline.
- paralock, on 06/04/2008, -9/+34He will just change his mind, after all, he likes change. Instead, he will decide that we should go to war with South Africa, after all the Libertarian candidate Bob Barr wants to.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -4/+28How are militant Jewish nationalists, Christian Zionists, and war industry executives considered 'the center?'
- zephyear, on 06/04/2008, -29/+52eliminating the threat of iran =/= eliminating iran completely
the threat being them pursuing nuclear technology/weapons, we need to talk to them about it
the paul fanatics will blow anything out of proportion to try and paint obama and mccain as the same. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -4/+26Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
- neuron79, on 06/04/2008, -30/+52Nice. So the mainstream candidates are Kang and Kodos?
- llamabread, on 06/04/2008, -7/+29War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
I think we have it covered pretty well here in America. We have been in who knows how many wars in the last 60 years, but haven't declared war since WWII. We would gladly give up our liberties for the illusion of security. And as you probably can tell, our culture doesn't encourage intelligence, just reality TV.
We are closer to 1984 than we would like to believe. - Waiting2awake, on 06/04/2008, -3/+25Its amazing so many still believe the dog and pony show huh?
- PongGod, on 06/04/2008, -20/+41That's funny because his rhetoric is exactly the same as Bush and McCain.
