They have some psycho on cspan2 calmly explaining why it is desireable to attack Iran in (surprise) June.

1. Heritage Foundation loonies?

[whistle]

4. Let me get this straight.....

Heritage Foundation is the conservative republican think tank

CATO Institute is the conservative libertarian think tank

Brookings Institute is the liberal democratic think tank

I think I'm correct on that. Are their other political party affiliated think tanks with any influence on policy research and issues?

[cornermouse]

5. Always think multiple when you think about political party

affiliated think tanks.

[whistle]

10. Multiple.....you mean the Heritage Foundation and the CATO Institute

....would consider supporting issues that are democrat based?

[cornermouse]

13. Multiple as in Repub, Dem and Lib parties all have multiple

think tanks, not just one each as the poster indicated.

[whistle]

15. Oh, right, that's what I was asking, what are the others...I guess

...I could google and find out, that Center for American Progress is one I knew about, but forgot until reminded. Here is what popped up:

7. loony jerks

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. If they actually did that...

man, just when you think the Busheviks have reached the top in stupidity, greed, and cruelty, they come up with something new.

Iran could actually fight back, for one thing. For another, they have an internal pro-democracy movement that would be pegged as treasonous if the U.S. attacked. For yet another, I bet that even the pro-democracy types would take up arms to repel a foreign invader.

:grr:

14. I believe that was Jerome Corsi

Of Swiftboat Bullshit fame. There was a thread on it around here somewhere. It's amazing anyone will give him airtime after the pack of lies he authored against Kerry. Oh, duh-this is Uh-Murrika. Of course they'll give him airtime.
