Allen West--didn't he get drummed out of both the Army AND Congress? Yeah, there's a guy with credibility.

Pretty much all of RW propaganda media can be traced to Poppy Bush's 5 decade alliance with RevMoon, the Korean cult leader who began developing these 'news' sources in the early 80s. Moon's propaganda has been broadcast since the 90s by Rupert Murdoch, the Australian extortionist.

when he takes on BIBI and the majority of the US Congress, and a lot of the media guests on most TV programs?

This is no way for a weakling to act...

The real weaklings are working in collusion behind Obama and Kerry's backs...

It still stuns me when I see this kind of crap being spewed for a president that is trying to make a peaceful world.

Scum everywhere. Besides Carter, I've seen very little in the way of positive comments.

Running away from Iran isn't even close to what's been happening the last 3 decades. There has been so same schemes, conspiracies, plots to break up and privatize Iran, sanctioned -- honestly the right thing to do would be to leave them alone because the hypocritical double standards the US applies to Iran not to mention lies which are pants on fire kind of lies but unfortunately the majority of the public buys into this notion while real victims are discredit and ignored -- if heard are disbelieved.

An example though not related to the topic (or could be)

NFL QB Drew Brees radio interview on his Guantanamo visit

Drew: I guess. I think the international media has given so much scrutiny about the way that were treating these guys its almost that were going overboard to treat them so well. I mean, they are allowed to call and write letters home and allowed to receive letters and calls, they get 5 opportunities a day to pray and they have arrows in the prison toward where the Mecca is and the prison goes dead silent so these guys can have their religious time. They have rooms where they can watch movies and watch Nintendo Wii. So I think that goes ahead and says it right there. You talk to all the guards and the army personnel and they tell you stories about how these prisoners, they’ll be walking the cell block just to keep an eye on these guys and they’ll be throwing the feces and urine in the faces of these guards as they walk by and the guards aren’t allowed to do anything. They’re not allowed to physically retaliate. I mean these guys get away with whatever they want. It was interesting at one point we were walking around from one detention center to another and some of the prisoners saw us and started yelling “torture torture”. We teach them English by the way.

--------------------------------------

BR: So they can yell at you!

Drew: They assume since were in civilian clothes that we are members of the media. So they started yelling “torture torture” like hey they’re torturing us. Anything they can do to show a poor light on the US or the US military they’re going to do it. But they are getting treated very very well.

BR: So when they started yelling “torture” did you give them the finger? What did you do? Did you laat em’? You didn’t have anything for them.

Drew: We were told not to look at them not to do anything.

BR: I’d give them the finger. They think I’m the media they’re trying to make my country look bad. I’d give them one of those.
