From the 1980s we've been hearing about Iranian nukes

When will we stop buying this bullshit?

Bibi the war criminal has committed way more atrocities against humanity than anyone in Iran.

Fuck Bibi! Fuck Boehner! Fuck all ReTHUGs. Given the propaganda these days, I am coming to the conclusion that the neo-con version of reality is a very bad 'way below B movie'.

Remember that?

Now it's ISIS and Iran nukes.

If Bibi is so damn hot to take on Iran, he gets China and Russian for free.
Much different story than bombing unarmed people in Gaza, tho.

We keep hearing about it because we don't buy it.

Likely the current talk of Iran is related to the on-going efforts to roll the government of Syria and kick out Iran and Russia. Headlines yesterday said that Israel and the Saudi have a deal so that Israel can attack Iran using Saudi airspace. When the government of Syria falls, Iran's militias will face whatever force invades Syria. So the airspace deal with the Saudis could then be used to stop Iran from moving into the vacuum.

The low grade war between Iran and Israel is well under way:

Of course Israel didn't sign the NPT, while Iran did AND is still in compliance with it.

than to come to terms with what we did to them that made them hate us so (hint: it wasn't about "our freedoms"...unless you count our freedom to interfere with other peoples' governments and lives).
