McCain Schools Obama on Iran

 

Republican nominee John McCain is a national security hawk with the knowledge necessary to lead our nation through this dangerous age of Islamic terrorism. Barack Obama called Iran's threat "tiny" in comparison to that of the Soviet Union. Senator McCain disagrees:


I'll see your Iran-

-and raise you one Iraq war. Those terrorists Saddam was 'supporting' weren't terrorists who were flying planes in US buildings or were trying to bring nukes over here. They were terrorists fighting against the last, overtly-colonial power in the middle east. Israel is there to stay, fine. But they should be in their pre-68 borders.

You know, as a jew, I have the 'right of return' to move to Israel, be given subsidies and military protection, would then be able to be moved onto land that up until a few months or a few years prior, was lived on by Arab/Palestinians. (until they got pushed off their lands by violence and bulldozers) This is a big component of what the 'settler's movement' is about.

I hate to pick on Israel, but with their lobby in this country, they pretty much have every politician on both sides in their sway. And a strong lobby means politicians hold their tongues, follow orders and the media stays in lockstep, afraid of letter campaigns, boycotts and bad press.

Turkey has a strong lobby in this country. Write a letter to the editor to your local newspaper or a big newspaper about the Armenian genocide and see how many people come out of the woodwork to defend Turkey's actions or lack of involvement with the murder of one and a half million people. The NYT reported on this has it was happening, reporting it as news and fact. The past twenty years, when its mentioned, they frame it as 'still in dispute' or 'alleged' actions by the Young Turks.

You know, I'm still trying

You know, I'm still trying to understand when Israel became apart of the United States of America. Iran is a "tiny" threat compared to Communist Russia. I remember doing "nuclear fall-out drills". I don't see children doing that over the "Iranian threat".Iran, Which, is not a threat to U.S. SOIL. And when I say U.S. SOIL, I mean from our border with Canada, to our Third World neighbers to the south. That does NOT include any other nation.

Only 20 years ago, did the So-Called "Conservative" movement, believe that we shouldn't be fighting anyone elses wars. Now, that the so-called "conservative" movement, has been corruted by a bunch of Government loving Socialists, and most of you fell for it.

Un-real

yawn-

-wake me up when he says something.

I bet myself he would mention Israel within two minutes of the start of this. yawn. Let the Israelis defend themselves. How come the US has to work so hard, fight these wars against Israel's enemies, when there's plenty of evidence, lots of it dug up by Fox News, regarding Israeli citizens who may have known of the 911 attacks and were staked up in New Jersey to watch the towers fall. But let's spend US money and blood to protect one of the last colonial powers in the world. Google that and you'll see lots of legitimate reporting on Israeli spies in the US, who may have been shadowing Al Qeda and didn't seem all that intent on letting our domestic intelligence know.


And no, I'm not anti-semetic. I do not think jews control the world. I do not think jews were warned to call off of jobs in the WTC on 911. I am half-jew myself.

You want to stop Iran from allegedly sending bombs into Iraq to kill US servicepeople? Get the US folks out of Iraq. Problem solved.

Now, imagine if you will, the Chinese invasion of Canada. They evil, red Chincoms occupy Canada. Imagine that for various geopolitical reasons, the US is unable to just send our army, navy airforce marines up there to kick the evil gooks out. Now imagine a world where the US would not be sending money, arms, weapons, bombs, support and services to the Canadian resistance movements. I can imagine the first two but couldn't imagine that last one. Now, why do we expect Iran to be any different that we would be.

Of course, one of the huge faults of 'the right', as I see it, is a lack of the ability to put yourselves into these sorts of academic exercises.
