Oh, he can swing pretty far in that direction...look how berserk he goes on the subject of Unions! Unions is not left or right - it is about theft. Yes, it is. As in "Stealing from the rich to give to the poor", otherwise known as "Spreading the Wealth". Hey Turk, I want a Robin Hood icon!

blogs.aljazeera.net/imperium/2010/03/29/us-iran-cold-war-warming"Washington has taken advantage of Tehran's nuclear programme and regional ambitions to portray Iran as a dangerous regional power that must be contained, deterred, and if/when necessary, confronted sooner rather than later." "Media leaks drip-fed by the US and Israel envisions attacks on Iran's nuclear and military facilities as well as proxy wars against Iran's allies." "After spelling out the Iranian threat, real and manufactured, the US has gallantly come forward to sell its 'exposed' regional clients expensive weapons to protect them from an 'unpredictable' and 'increasingly militarized' Iranian regime." "For Washington, Iran is the ideal regional enemy. If it did not exist, the Pentagon would have created something very close." "However, unlike Moscow, Tehran presents no serious military, ideological or economic threat or challenge to the United States and the Nato alliance and certainly is incapable of creating an alternative or competing project in the Middle East." This guy seems to say a lot of inconsistent stuff...

english.aljazeera.net/focus/2010/05/201052271814825709.html"It has also reaffirmed the fears of many regarding US intentions: the administration of Barack Obama, the US president, remains every bit as unilateralist as that of George Bush, his predecessor, and it displays equal disdain for multilateral negotiations despite the new rhetoric." Are we looking at the same Obama as these guys? Why does far right America think he's an appeaser? Oh yeah, it fits their partisan narrative.

Oh BS JD, it’s because he bends over at the top of a hat (1 of thousands of reasons.) The world is laughing at us and we should ALL be embarrassed. Appeaser is as polite as it gets, give me a friggn break. It's Bush's fault.

english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/06/201061714823757677.htmlWhile it makes some sense that Tim Geithner announced the newest sanctions against Iran, as they are economic, it does make me wonder about something. Is all the hostility toward Iran just because it might be a threat to Israel, or is there something more? Is Iran some kind of threat to Globalization, which people like Geithner worship?

Is all the hostility toward Iran just because it might be a threat to Israel, or is there something more? Is Iran some kind of threat to Globalization, which people like Geithner worship? IMO Iran would like to obtain weapons of mass destruction and by doing so become the fatherland of all the Muslum extremists. Iran would then have influence over many of them and use them to further reach a common objective. An Islamic world and Iran would be the capital of it all! Islam is spreading around the world like a wild fire and they are digging into the politics of every country they move into. While the "extremists" are pushing through violence, their are many times more of that are doing the bidding of a few extremist Imams and changing politics to accept their sharia laws. Dividing these countries will eventually lead to their being overthrown. Israel is just another non-Muslim country in the row of dominos. It has fought hardest to prevent their invasions so it is the best target to defeat. The fact that it is a smaller country in the middle of Muslum countries also fuels the possibility of defeat. It was hoped that it would be the first of the "western nations" but Europe may become the first. Europe has been to accomodating and didn't understand the threat like Israel did. So, yes, Iran is gambling on becoming a superpower! It has a lot more to do than just their general part of the world. Russia and China have generally given Iran a lot of support; I wonder just how far they are willing to go. Iran watched for years how sanctions didn't make Iraq change their programs and continued illegal activities. Iran does not fear an attack such as what happened in Iraq so they could possibly go for a very long time sidestepping the sanctions. Again, they have no problem getting things illegally, let alone, if Russia or China gives them any support beyond the sanctions.

But what I have always found confounding is our relationship with Saudi Arabia who I think is also vying for the title of the capital of Muslims. I read just the other day that they have cleared their air space for an Israeli strike against Iran. How many of the 9/11 terrorists were from SA? From my memory, most of them. Also, if you check into the expansion of the radical mosques in the U.S., you will find that most of them are financied by Saudi Arabia and teach Wahhabism.

Well, at first glance, I might agree; but Steve Emerson came across some pretty shocking rhetoric in a mosque, of all places, Oklahoma City, way back when. iona.ghandchi.com/emerson.htm

There is a difference though. The terrorist network will continue to work to obtain its goals. What can't be done through violence will be done by having our courts allow Muslims to have a separate legal system and life, thus separating the people. What Oklahoma has done is putting a legal obstacle in the way in an attempt to prevent this from happening. I can only say that I hope their law will withstand future challenges to prevent the furthering of the jihad being imposed.

www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-wikileaks-iran-20101129,0,4288707.story "The cables show that both Saudi King Abdullah and King Hamed ibn Isa Khalifa of Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. 5th Fleet, are among the Arab leaders who have lobbied the United States to strike Iran. According to one dispatch, a Saudi official reminded Americans that the king had repeatedly asked the U.S. to "cut off the head of the snake" before it was too late." Apparently these Arab despots consider our military nothing more than mercenaries to do their dirty work on the American taxpayer's dime. I wonder how our soldiers feel about being used and possibly dying for Riyadh? As I've said before, I don't worry about the Muslim threat because they hate each other more than they hate us. All we have to do is enable them to kill each other off.
