Swift Boat liars say Dems helping Iran get weapons
No one tell them about all of the Iran-contra figures in this adminstration, or their heads will explode.

4. Since Bush is NOT going to attack Iran, who cares?
The NRA supports the right of the people of Iran to own and bear arms.
If guns are outlawed, then only Americans will have guns.

5. Amazon Product Description:
With the reconstruction in Iraq under way and the distraction of the U.S. presidential election behind us, focus will once again turn to a gathering threat—The Islamic Republic of Iran. A charter member of the "axis of evil," this rogue terrorist state and the mullahs who govern it are on a collision course with American and European governments that seek to end its development of nuclear weapons. The influence of Iran cannot be discounted, however, because it has perfected the art of oil price manipulation in order to fund its nuclear endeavors, terrorist activities, and strategic contributions to key U.S. politicians who, in turn, work diligently at normalizing diplomatic and trade relations between the two nations.

In ATOMIC IRAN, Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling UNFIT FOR COMMAND, uncovers the true intentions and practices of the Iranian regime and gives light to the aid and comfort being supplied by some key U.S. politicians. Uncovered is a web of pro-Iranian financiers who make significant campaign contributions to political leaders who affect U.S. trade policy towards Iran and are able to work at normalizing diplomatic relations, thereby legitimizing the rogue republic. This poses an immediate security threat to the United States. It allows the regime to take advantage of relaxations in the Patriot Act to begin importing terrorists under the disguise of diplomatic personnel.

Also revealed is the manipulation of world oil prices by Iran. Its restriction of supply has the dual effect of hindering the growth of world economies and increasing revenue for Iran, which is then used to fund international terrorism and its own deadly pursuits. Dr. Corsi warns that a nuclear Iran would devastate the Middle East through its tyrannical policies and threats and would have a significant impact on the world by using its control of 40 percent of the global oil supply to hold nations hostage with oil prices rising to over $100 and even $200 per barrel.

ATOMIC IRAN is a wake-up call to Americans. It is a call to pay attention to the growing crisis with Iran and to hold U.S. politicians accountable for their relationships with and efforts on behalf of the Iranian regime. By understanding the events that led to Iran's arrival at the verge of nuclear statehood, the intentions of the mullahs, their connection with American politicians, and the severe repercussions to be suffered from allowing the regime to proceed with its plans, readers of ATOMIC IRAN will be equipped to take the debate to their local communities and to the officials they have entrusted with their safety and security.

"Who's Corsi's co-author this time - Jeff Gannon?" scoffed Biden aide Norm Kurz

6. Corsi should be sued for slander and libel
BTW -- the organization that is claimed to be funneling Iranian dollars to the Democrats?

“Fellow named Hassan Nemazee apparently is the archfiend of Corsi’s plot. … Nemazee evilness connector supposedly is something called the American Iranian Council, for which he used to be a board member.

“Page 255 says: ‘Hassan Nemazee … one of John Kerry’s top fund-raisers in his 2004 presidential campaign, was a board member of the AIC. Nemazee funded a long list of Democratic party candidates. … At every event where Democratic candidates have been present, the AIC has been certain to press its agenda to restore economic and diplomatic ties between Iran and the United States.”

But it turns out that Nemazee served on the AIC board with respected academics, former Sen. Bennett Johnston (D-La.), Halliburton CEO David Lesar and a former vice chairman of ChevronTexaco, among other worthies.

Yesterday Nemazee - a wealthy Manhattan financier, U.S. citizen and Democratic Party donor who was Kerry’s New York fund-raising chairman - told me that Corsi is risking a slander suit if the book says he’s an agent of the Iranian government.

“The concept that I’m a shill for the mullahs flies in the face of reality,” said Nemazee, whose family fled Iran after the fall of the shah. “I haven’t been back for 26 years, and everything I had was confiscated by them. It is patently ludicrous.”

He added: “I wouldn’t trust the mullahs as far as I could throw them. My belief is that the Iranian government is trying to obtain nuclear capability and will do whatever it takes.”

7. Corsi should be wrapped up in a straight jack
and not allowed near tin foil for the rest of his life.

8. Haliburton has a Working Contract with Iran
Thru a subsidiary and they have stated they have no intention of terminating the contract. They are presently doing business in Iran.
SO, that must mean that Liberals own Haliburton
which means
Cheney is a Liberal
