Does Iran still a threat?

Is that some kind of weird sex question?

The Intellegence community says they aren't, but they have been wrong before... Correct?

To be accurate the Intelligence community was NOT wrong before...the Cherry picking was.

All intelligence that indicated that Saddam had no WMD's was downplayed & the ex pat Iraqi drunk from Germany was used as the poster Child for invasion.

Dry Drunk minds think alike I guess...

Along with that highly valued court room Drawing of the 'weapons labs' at the UN... That should have been a dead giveaway but everyone was all Star struck By General Powell.


Most forget those lil' details.

The questions we should be asking of our media is why they are not reporting all the other things we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why not show the schools open, women being treated with more equal rights, roads being rebuilt, electrical grids being constructed with modern technology and equipment, pipelines and refineries being brought into usage, water purification and distribution networks being rebuilt and so on. In other words, why are we not seeing the “happy Iraqis and Afghanis?”

When was the last time you saw an interview with a single Iraqi or family that liked the Americans or what we were doing? There are tens of thousands who hope we never leave, because they are afraid other sects of their Moslem religion will gain enough power to take over, or worse. They fear that their country will be vulnerable and fall back into chaos, like Iran did after the fall of the Shah, and Cambodia after the Khmer Rhouge took Phnom Penh.

When was the last time an in-depth report was done on the “insurgents” and who they really are and where they really came from? The dictionary defines “insurgent” as “rising in revolt against established authority, especially a government. Rebelling against the leadership of a political party.”

The so-called “insurgents” in Iraq are not insurgents. They are foreign terrorists, criminals and murderers who attack any soft target of opportunity, including women and children and babies. They are evil scum who do not hesitate to kidnap unarmed civilians and behead them on camera. These rodents only understand one thing, and that is the result of superior firepower. Ours.

By identifying them as “insurgents” instead of what they really are, our media actually softens their image and lends a degree of credibility and justification to their actions. And by parading our own casualties in an up-close and personal way every night, they are actually aiding and abetting them as well. The Islamic terrorist organizations never had it so well.

In World War II, the media was actually censored from showing photos of dead Americans in battle, or using any imagery that would hurt our military and civilian morale or aid the enemy’s. It was not until after the war ended that so many photos of the aftermath of battle were actually shown to the American public. Today, the media uses our casualties as subtle mind control subjects to show us a continuing “cost of the war” story. Maybe it is time that our media is recognized for what it is: Al Jazeera West.

In the same vein, I would like to pose another question that goes unanswered. Why is it that when we try to send a package to Iraq or Afghanistan to our troops we are asked by our post office if there are any religious materials inside (specifically any Bibles)? Our own government won’t let us send Bibles to our kids because it might offend some local in a country that we just paid for in our own sweat and blood. The media has never addressed this issue, but if someone claims that some form of disrespect happened to Quarans (issued by our government, by the way) in Guantanamo Bay, then it is on the news for days—and echoed by the liberals in congress for weeks.

Because services are still lower than pre invasion.....the Bush administration fucked the pooch....kind of pissed it off in the process too....

"why are we not seeing the “happy Iraqis and Afghanis?” "

Because they are still greatly outnumbered by those who are not happy....

Well, it could be that they are in still in the nuclear weapons game or it could be for their nuclear reactors including a light-water reactor that requires highly enriched uranium.
