People wake up! You had better pay attention to what Scott Ritter is saying about Iran.

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/16/144204

He was right about Iraq. He exposes the PNAC-neocon agenda for what it really is. Seymour Hersch and Scott Ritter are two people who do not get the attention they deserve. Our Congress needs to pay attention to them.

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see.
But that's no right - oh no, whats the story?
There's you and there's me
That cant be right

911 was the crime of the century! MIHOP!

After they saw what they could do with 9/11, they went ahead and did the Anthrax attacks. 9/11 was a professional job the whole way. MIHOP all the way.

I hope we get an investigation from the new congress but I'm not holding my breath!

He sure got my attention.

It was not clear until late this year which one was going to be first. It is now apparent that bu$h will find a way to include Iran in the Iraq conflict thus expanding the war and checking off one more item from the PNAC master plan. It of course just like all of bu$h's other endeavors will be a failure of insurmountable proportions and the talking head will pander to the right as they have done for the last 6 years.

:nuke:

update for spelling

because of the failure is a big problem. We have to stop this if we can.

I missed it. maybe a week ago----on Dem. Now also.

I missed the show, but read the interview online. went looking for ritter's book today...all sold out at my local big box bookstore.

that we have already started war with Iran?

I remember being at a thank you event for his supporters in a basement at a bar in Chicago. What he said about * and Iran and what he has heard from Pentagon and military insiders freaked me out. This is why he worked his ass off to get Dems elected and regain control of congress. I think that the ONLY up side to the war in Iraq being such a clusterfuck is it's slowed down the neocons march through the middle east, but that's not saying much.
On the other hand, just like they kept changing their argument for the war in Iraq, I'm afraid our nut case will use the clusterfuck and blame Iran as the excuse that we have no choice but to drop bombs again. Just when the Iranian people are expressing disapproval of their nut case.

Crap! I hope congress can stop him!

And you can bet, If Mr Hersh said it it's so.

He's prognosticating, based on the information he has. But all prognostications have a margin of error- and Sy Hersch has been wrong before.

you give me you argument of their factual errors?

Thanks...

Scott Ritter has always told it like it is when it comes to Bush's real war agenda(s).

n/t

When they say that "Iran is the number one threat to the national security of the United States", they are lying!

And here is the lie. Tell me if I'm wrong. I see that what this administration has done is confuse the corporations with the people. The Constitution is not about corporations. It's about the people. We the people. Not we the corporations. Iran is not a threat to we the people. Iran is a threat to the profits of the oil corporations. Now that may have a domino effect whereby the people are hurt due to gas prices. But it is not an imminent threat to the people.

And by controlling the media to trumpet the false statements, and by dumbing down the people, in the long run this long lived group of criminal oil company executives in the administration have molded a false context in which to start wars.


Iran is not an imminent threat. This is third grade logic. This is our last straw. We must stop this administration.



Edit- having listened to the entire interview, I see that we are already at war with Iran. Hersch says CIA is on the ground, we're flying over their territory, we're recruiting thugs for lack of a better word, to do god only knows what.

article to family and friends...

tading oil for Euros now and not dollars. Does this make them more of a threat to the USA?

I listened on Iraq too. Lot of fat good it did. Now that David Gregory and Olbermann are getting more agressive I hope Ritter and Hersch's voices can get more mainstream airplay.

Target Iran: Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter and Investigative Journalist Seymour Hersh on White House Plans for Regime Change

Mr Ritter also said that an attack on Iran was going to occur in this June past, didn't he? I don't know how BushCo could pull this off. It's my understanding that even the Pentagon looks at it as a suicide mission.

We also have a new congress. So, I'm not so sure that the plans will proceed as some might wish.

hope that even with Dems in power that they would. Because the Old Congress gave Bush Unilateral Power...and there's nothing much they can do about "expanding the war" to other countries in the name of "fighting terror."

We here all have hopes that "investigations" will reign them in (the Bushies) but given the track record when we controlled the Senate and all Bush appointees got through (thwarting the courageous effort of Jim Jeffords (R) to switch to give the Dems ability to stop Bush Appointees...one has to feel it's a "lost cause."

Dems are all focused on the Race for '08 and Power. What happens in these next two years they can blame on Bush and wash their hands of it.

In the end...it's all about Power and Money and Control. Dems will wait and work for '08 while America goes "down the tubes" because they don't know what else to do. It's programmed in Politicians of both stripes genes to look for "opportunity" and "keep the powder dry" until one sees "the white of the eyes to shoot."

Bushies have MIGHTY POWER...Media and Corporate and the trust of World Financial Powers. Who can really confront that?

:shrug:

I think Bush McMuttonhead's reach has extended his grasp. Bush has only one avenue for attack and that would be by air. The nuclear sites he attacks with nukes would far and away spread fallout to allies Pakistan and India intensely and regionally. Congressional go along? No way. It seems this is possible but as a critical of Bush I think his curtain call would be a trumped up attack on Iran.
