RE: Trisha, May 19 at 8:33 pm

I can understand the ‘Disaster Capitalists’ wishing to sink their straws into Iranian oil pools, but not for the reasons you suspect; they certainly would not wish to destroy the safe haven they’ve given birth to in China; to which they flee, while the Wall-Street Gaming and War Industries have been bunkering down in Dubai.

Just look around, where have U.S. Industries been fleeing to? China, or where ever opportunity is found for the exploitation of cheap labor; including lax environmental pollution laws.

If anything, this same vile, greedy and murderous bunch, of ‘newly empowered fascists’, will look back from the heights of its new perch with contempt upon the defaulting payers they’ve abandoned.

Peace, Best Wishes and Hope

This hermaphrodite has a bee up its whatever about Iran.It doesnt matter if Iran throws away all its uranium,dismantles and destroys all its reactors,burn all its military bases and destroys all its missiles and condemns all its revolutionary guards to death,it will still build a case to justify a war against a country that has never attacked any country in over 200 years.

That scene from “Full Metal Jacket” does not imitate new world warfare to the
degree that young “gunners” experience now. Nowadays they still “lead” their
bullets a little less for old people and children, but the firepower is so much more
intense with Gatling multiple barreled machine guns. Vietnam was child’s play in
comparison. Cluster bombs are another nasty trick. They can wipe out small
muslim villages and their innocent inhabitants no problem.

Didn’t we recently see pictures of Iranians rioting in the streets against their government?  Shocking.  So shocking that we’re imposing sanctions on their country - which will hurt the people/protesters probably more than anyone else - just to show them that America doesn’t cotton to plebians taking up the banners of freedom and justice in defiance of their government. (It might be catching?)

Rather than supporting the people of Iran, we have apparently chosen to alienate them by making their daily lives more difficult.  Way to go, Uncle Sam.

And does anyone honestly believe that the nation of Iran, even if it has the ‘bomb’, will launch a war against the US, or Israel for that matter? Assuming they’re not suicidal, that is.

At least the movie ended. Our boys in uniform and our intelligence services are doing this shit and worse every day.

Art imitates life, not the other way around. And there is nothing more artful and touching than a pile of murdered people, or a secret prison, or torture chamber.

Big B:
Just like you to quote a MOVIE and substitute it for real life!

Steve E:
You are onto something there.

keep beating the drum, amunaor! We should all never forget how that single clip has best summized how the US has run it’s military foreign policy since WWII. When you don’t repect anyone, you cannot ever expect it return. (I think we all learned that in sunday school).

The way our military treats other peoples is best summed up in the film “Full Metal Jacket”

“the people we are killing today are some of the finest people we will ever know”.

“Do you ever shoot women, and children?”

“Sometimes”.

“How can you do that, shoot women and children?”

“It’s easy, you just don’t lead ‘em so much. Ain’t war hell?”

Haven’t we all seen this movie before?

Oh Hillary, you turn me on when you get so tough and demanding. Bubba and
Hillary can’t wait for Barry to finish his one and only term in office. The way I
figure it a deal was made during the last presidential campaign, that being Obama
would bow out after his first term and let Hillary in as Pres if she can win the
election. The gig she is performing now is to give her the so called credentials as
a worldly diplomat. Far fetched? Then Barry can walk into the sunset just like Blair.

Isn’t it amazing how the Obama administration just continues with the program the Bush administration began?  Saber rattling against Iran?  Well yes, it’s all about redrawing the map of the Middle East.

And here so many of us were thinking we were getting “Change We Can Believe In.”

The shame.

How about some Israel sanctions.

“Just look at that pile of dead bastards over there”

Aren’t you getting tired of plugging that quote?

I have in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a copy of the sanctions the US will impose forthwith:
1. Playboy Magazine will no longer be available in Iran.
2. The US will declare that Israel is a very bad actor.
3. Zoroaster will be declared in league with the devil.
4. The US will hereafter prefer Sunni to Shia interpretations of Islam. Ali is peronna non grata.

Honorable? Far from it!

Sanctions? How about calling it what it is: Political Blackmail! Must be nice having a fist full of nukes; ranting and raving from the mountaintop like a lunatic!

Thank you Hillary for showing us how the Obama White House hasn’t changed a single aspect of America’s psychotic imperialist policies.
