It has been a long week for US-Iranian relations. On Tuesday, the US claimed to have uncovered an Iranian plot to a Saudi Ambassador in Washington DC and have been harping on about non-specific “punishment” they will impose on Iran ever since.
The US “outrage” about the plot and promises of revenge come despite a complete lack of evidence, and with the suspected “mastermind” behind the plot described by neighbors and friends as a bumbling fool who was lucky enough not to lose his keys when he left the house.
But many analysts see the whole plot as just ridiculous, and Iran has described it as totally fake. The denial also led to an angry US condemnation, insisting Iran was being “untruthful” in saying so.
The point of the whole plot is unclear, as it seemed only to give the US a new thing to gripe about, and the real question is if it will lead to a war. Some are saying no, but the Obama Administration is simply saying what it always days, which is that “all options are on the table.”
it seems all our government officials skipped class the day they taught basic propaganda at school
Actually, what I think this shows is that they are so high on themselves and so out of touch with reality that they truly think people will believe anything they're spoonfed. Ha! Apparently, they haven't noticed the thousands protesting under their noses in over 1,000 cities. The sheep are waking up. And real fast too.
Perhaps the only thing our leaders want is to distract us.
There are 120 countries – 985 cities across the world taking part in manifestations today. Madrid – Wall Street is going global.
so apparently the policy of the Iranian regime is,
a) destroy the world and them selves through nuclear Armageddon.
b) failing that, hiring a mexican drug gang to kill a random saudi bureaucratic.
it sounds reasonable to me
Is US government.., federal government truthful about its killing of people from Iraq war.., and Afghanistan and Pakistan and Libya and all other wars that US and EU-NATO is involved in…? If that was the case then UN, Amnesty International, Human rights and all other such organizations needs to look at the matter and prosecute those from Bush to Obama adminstration because of war crimes commited.., Look US and NATO is a militarism regime they need to have wars and wars again otherwise they.., including Paul Wolfowtiz and others would be out of business getting paid by federal government which is the American people taxes paid to these people for their warmongering advise. So what needs to be done is change the system.., or for that matter close the democratic party calling it Paul Wolfowitz party.
i am sure those evil-doers are working with the elves in the north pole to plants bombs in our toys..!!!
Paul, it’s doesnt need to be ‘reasonable’ as the media has tirelessly pounded the ‘Iranians are insane’ mantra into the brains of the American citizenry. So in keeping with this dynamic, committing national suicide fits logically into the Iranian physce (sp?).
Shortly after eleven ATF and FBI agents torched Mt Carmel church in Waco Texas, I paid $864.00 to run a box ad in the Dallas Morning News — the heading read,
No Davidian shot, killed or burned, Waco shootout government fiction
It was very simple, if the sole purpose was to keep the public in fearful submission to authority, then why generate vendetta by killing anyone? For no one but 11 federal agents were allowed to get within two miles of Mt Carmel, so who are you going to believe, me or the government?
If that Iranian-American doofus is a member of Quds, then Homer Simpson is a high-level CIA operative.
If people belive this they are uninformed or uniteligent.Another accusation with no evidence from the country that kills more people than the rest of the world combined.I think people have caught on after the Iraq lie along with many more.A war with Iran could easly turn into WW3 and become a full scale nucular war.That all baised on propoganda lies to start another illegal war.America people I think now not to belive this without 100 percent proff but seeing Lybia and Obama he could start a war no matter what people think.Its sad we have to worrie about the possibility of WW3 every day.Its time to stop scaring people and killing them.
Can't get anymore arrogant. We have no real evidence to link Iran's government to this sham and yet we codenm them for being "untruthful" in denying our baseless claims. Bombs away.
This is more of the, "Be very scared" BS from Uncle Sugar. It's only been a couple months since Susan Rice, our UN Ambassador, was on the Stephan Colbert Show. Every word out of her disgusting mouth was Iran=A bombs. Colbert didn't bother to call her out for those blatant lies.
The WH house and State Department is full of Zionists that parrot the Likkudnik lies about Iran building Nukes. At the same time the Israeli and US intelligence communities state that Iran isn't building Nukes. All these deliberate lies are very dangerous and we have to ask, what is trhe purpose of all the deliberate lies. We should also be very scared that a sychophant like Petreous is now head of CIA and will oblige the war crowd.
Well, the US has finally done it. Even the corporate media is calling their lie over this one. And they even had to call on their pal Harper to back them up. Next, they'll be parading Blair. Ha ha ha! If nothing else, this shows not only the complete disconnect between the so called leadership of the US that they actually think that they can say and do anything they want and the populace will bobble their heads and follow them over the cliff but also the fact that people are finally beginning to wake up. And real fast too. Nothing like being homeless and without a job to wake them the f*ck up.
