Hmmmm. Serious oversight in his list of examples.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]To my mind, 9/11 certainly does belong on that list. LIHOP, at the very least.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And he actually says he's "not advocating" this while advocating it.

Can social media get people on the alert for such machinations to counter the zombie neocons' attempts to start another war??

Celebration

But he do WANT a war - he doesn't condone it but by all ways, he want a war, and if you read between the lines, he call ut US to just make a reason for going to war - a Gulf of Kontin moment, where the US have to attack Iran... And then start a war, in the persian gulf, who would more than possible make a mess of the economy as it is and make the prise of oil sky rock up to unknown levels..

This type of persons need to be kept under surveillance, as they WILL make it possible, to make US going to war against Iran... In one way or another, they want to make sure to get into a shooting match with Iran.. Not that Iran is a superpower, but they do is able to make a lot of trouble for the US navy in the area - and to the ship traffic in general...

Diclotican

isn't one of these pranksters who pretends to be something he is not.

Like the people who dress up like millionaires and make fun of the Tea Party rallies or the guys who hold press conferences for corporations, say embarrassing things in the name of the corporation but are really just ridiculing the corporation.

This guy is so extreme that I can hardly believe he is real. He may be. But if so, all I can say is, Wow. Are they being this blatant about what they do.

It is very possible that someone will pull some stunt to push Obama to go to war. I think he is ready for it.

Iran should move now to get serious about negotiations because this may be its last chance to avoid a huge disruption of its economy and many deaths. Why can't it just agree to allow inspections of its nuclear sites? It would be easy.

He is regularly seen on news shows as a "expert" on mideast policy.

Iran does allow inspectors at its sites. All of its nuclear materials are accounted for by the IAEA. The US, through the UN Security Council, is playing games. The UN Security Council is completely separate from the IAEA. Iran is in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Non-existent WMD's are only an excuse to bully Iran. If not WMD's that don't exist, they would come up with some other excuse. The scum, which includes Patrick Clawson, have the own agenda. And it isn't peace.
