Fair question posed by Salunga today: “Whereabouts of Jeff Huber?” Still writing, sure do miss him at BooMan Tribune …
Despite what hate radio and FOX News and the Polly-cracker mainstream media have told you over and over, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has never said Iran would use nukes to destroy Israel, or anything remotely like that, and neither has anyone else in Iran’s government. Iran is incapable of projecting land power more than a few miles from its border, it has a coastal navy and its air force is almost as old and broken down as North Korea’s.
Demonizing Iran has been a long-term project of Dick Cheney’s. Through his Iranian Directorate and his lip-lock with Israel’s Likudnik cabal and America’s neoconservatives, he was able to have Iran declared to be our greatest “challenge,” even though Iran’s military budget is less than one percent ours and less than half the size of Israel’s, and despite the Cheneyacs’ failure to prove a single one of their assertions regarding Iran’s nuclear intentions or of its meddling in Iraq and the Bananastans.
Iran baiting has become so rabid that it’s practically a national pastime. Maybe that’s why Hillary Clinton has joined the likes of Newt Gingrich aboard Cheney’s crazy train.
