Right now. The Fascist News Channel is making the case....

[LeftofU]

for the impending war with Iran. Rovian propaganda at its best.

[funflower]

1. How on earth are they going to pay for THAT?

Let alone any moral considerations....

[rpannier]

6. To sway the American electorate

stick with the cost. The moral implications are too vast and complicated for about 50% of the public to understand.

[funflower]

7. I don't think the electorate

is in any mood for another war.

[LeftofU]

9. I don't think they care.eom.

[KansDem]

26. Give this man/woman a cigar!

That's the impression(s) I've gotten from those "good" Americans I've tried talking with about these developments. For example, I've had acrimonious discussions about the Iraq invasion and election fraud with family Freepers. They swore up and down that Saddam had WMDs, and when it was FINALLY accepted that Saddam had none, no one with whom I had these discussions said anything! Some are still holding on to the notion that Saddam "hid" or "moved" the WMDs, but most JUST DON'T CARE. As for election fraud, these same people have an "Oh well, there has been election fraud since George Washington..." attitude and JUST DON'T CARE.

It's amazing! I feel like grabbing hold of these people and shaking some sense into them! "Wake up!" I want to say to them. You no longer have a government; there is a CRIME FAMILY in charge of the country, and it DOESN'T have your best interests at heart. You exist ONLY at its pleasure. Wake up before it's too late, but THEY JUST DON'T CARE...

14. Another war would mean the complete

defeat of the Repugs. But then again, we're screwed, as an antiwar party.

10. "They?"

You mean us, don't you? Our kids? Forty-eight generations hence?

They don't pay for it... they spend it.... :(

[LSK]

2. What are they saying?

Im watching Real Time right now...

[davidinalameda]

3. have they mentioned the impending nuclear holocaust

if we do invade Iran?

[LeftofU]

11. From Iran or other? eom

[davidinalameda]

24. take your pick

if we invade Iran, they're going to let loose at Israel and Israel is going to let loose back

that's going to kill several thousand, if not millions of people and will start WW3 or WW4, depending on whether you count the Cold War as WW3

[FreedomAngel82]

4. Already talking about it?

Well it is April after all. What all are they saying? I wonder if the WMD threat will fly by again? Will Tony Blair back him?

[LeftofU]

8. I heard that we'll be ready to srike in June. eom.

[renaissanceguy]

16. That's the rumor I hear on these here internets.

Wait for the draft to be implemented then.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Right

Rhandi had Ritter on her show not long ago and that's what he said. He was right about Iraq so I do trust him with the info.

[Placebo]

5. I saw a commercial for that...

while flipping through the channels.

I'm glad some people on DU are watching, because I certainly wouldn't be able to!

How bad is it? The commercial alone seemed worthy of a Rove Award.

[renaissanceguy]

18. Just like the MSM did for the days leading up to the Iraq war.

Check www.mediamatters.org. Great website documenting the MSM's subliminal support for the war.

12. Well, it's only one letter different. How much harder can it be???

Iran
Iraq

Sounds similar. Next we'll bomb France and say, "Oops. We actually mistook it for the country of Irav, but apparently that country does not exist."

Meanwhile.

[Selteri]

13. Saw it, they really did their best to spin

yet they didn't really use much of anything resembling a verifiable fact.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Facts don't matter anymore

Just make them up and it's okay. As long as thy name is Bush.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Here's Prancing Preznit Precious' plan to put lipstick this pig ......

See .... we made a mistake. We went too fast last time. We went to Iraq. See, Iraq has a "Q". That was the problem. We went too far down the alphabet. We shoulda stopped at "N". See, we were working so hard ta get there, we had a lotta momentum. See, when yer workin' hard and runnin' hard, ya sometimes cain't stop. And we couldn't. So we ran right past that danged "N" and all the way to "Q". This time, we'll get it right.

[Erika]

20. Bush/Condi/Rummy thrust their lies down our throats once

Americans are wising up. They also the costs of Bush's warmongering on our programs to help the needy and our own deteriorating infrastructure. Everytime I hear right-wingers talking about how proud they are of our military and taxes building new schools in Iraq, I think about the kids here forced to attend schools that are substandard.

[tex-wyo-dem]

21. Folks, this is the coming thing...stay vigilant...

I saw it too on Faux News...they're already stepping up the redoric...

Ritter was right on Randi's show, the admin. has been planning this for well over a year..from this point on it's going to be "Iran's nuclear capability" and "it's threat to the US." Look for the words "dual use."

The MSM will systematically build a case for war with Iran starting with the American tube watchers. It's all slated to start building up in May-June with attack in June-July time frame.

Negroponte will be cooking the intelegence...

Think PNAC...this is squarely within their mission statement.

[vs the introvore]

22. please excuse my insolence- yea, ye doth mithspell.

quoting tex-wyo-dem-
"...they're already stepping up the redoric..."
REDoric? is that the pun/joke? I will grant you "intelegence" because maybe you type fast and "faux news," of course, we get that. but redoric? i guess i could let it slide if you don't mention my anti-capitalisation tendency.

[torque]

23. capitalization... it's spelled with a "z'. n/t

[Anthropologist]

25. Don't watch Faux but...

I do channel seach to find something, if anything is intresting, might be on. Well everytime I do pass Faux they keep talking up Iran, while stations like CNN, C-SPAN, MSGOP aren't even touching with a ten foot pole. At least from what I have watched previously.

Let's just hope Iran doesn't come to fruitation.

[leftchick]

27. well all I can say is

[MontageOfFreedom]

28. What exactly is the point of the elaphant? nt

[leftchick]

29. there is a link below it

to sign a petition and donate to LCA.

[Goathead]

30. It will not be Iran

It will be Syria. This is just saber rattling against Iran. Mostly for the benefit of the American public. Syria would be relatively easy and it would expand the United States' strategic position as a wedge between Iran/Central Asian oil reserves and the Saudi/Gulf nations. The ground work is layed for Syria. Iran also has a sizable military force to deal with that has built itself back up since the Iraq/Iran conflict. Iran's topography is also a problem, it is much more varied and harder to negotiate than the flat desert/river plain that is Iraq. No, it will be Syria. But both may be in for severe bombing strikes.

[ovidsen]

32. Syria? Not yet.

First, * has to find an excuse to invade Syria. And Assad, Jr. isn't co-operating. Syria appears to be withdrawing from Lebanon, and despite claims by neocons that Saddam moved his WMDs to Syria, none have been found there. That's not to say * needs an excuse to invade, but I think he'd rather have one.

And God help the US if it invades Iran. With 3 times the population and a far more professional military that Iraq had (to say nothing of a challenging terrain), Iran will make Iraq look like Panama.

[newportdadde]

31. Saw some Fox News garbage about it a couple of months ago..

the title was "Does Iran need a regime change and most importantly does the President think we need one?"
