Not the 97%+ required for nuclear WEAPONS which Israel possesses in quantity -- that would be an illegal nuclear arsenal. Do I need to get that translated into fucking Yiddish for anyone to comprehend what I'm saying?

Israel has an illegal nuclear arsenal and refuses international inspections. Israel is not eligible to accept one penny of US aid given their uninspected nuclear arsenal. Symington Amendment, ever heard of it?

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was amended by the Symington Amendment (Section 669 of the FAA) in 1976. It banned U.S. economic, and military assistance, and export credits to countries that deliver or receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections. This provision, as amended, is now contained in Section 101 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).

Iran allows IAEC inspections. Israel does not. Iran is within its rights to pursue nuclear power -- the US signed the same treaty (though I guess we ought to ask any Native American what that's worth). Israel has WMDs -- remember Iraq? Maybe we should have invaded Israel instead of Iraq if we were concerned about WMDs.

Is was between Iran and Israel inevitable? A better question would be "is a nuclear false-flag attack on an American city inevitable?" Think it over -- Israel sets off a nuclear weapon in an American city and pins it on Iran. The US, always dumb as a rock, stomps Iran flatl. Israel giggles on the sideline. Kind of a 9/11 situation, but with nuclear weapons.

So the issue is whether or not the US should discourage Iran from nuclear power in order to prevent Israel from staging another false-flag attack in order to manipulate the US into attacking Iran.

What, like that's not plausible? Put down the Kool-Aid and detox for a while. History will marvel at the parasite-host relationship the US enjoys with Israel.

Israel appears to believe that every neighbor behaves as deceitfully as it does. "To live outside the law you must be honest" and all that.

So, we are concerned about democracy in Iran? Are you sure this isn't some kind of froth resulting from the Memri (Mossad) mistranslation of the infamous "wiped off the map" statement? The avalanche of anti-Iran memes rolling off the old Kosher MSM machine over the past couple of years has been noteworthy -- is this not just another chapter?

Keep rubbing and the friction will eventually result in the kind of heat Israel would love to see the US apply to Iran. Neda! We hardly knew ye! In fact, we wanted to bomb your cities to rubble until we discovered you were worth a few column inches in our remaining newspapers! Bless you!

They're just as lock-step as O'Reilly or whomever the fascist du jour happens to be.

Playing tricks with words (is it FRESH or is it FROZEN? It's FRESH FROZEN!) is childish. NPR demeans itself.

We could stand an official NO-BULLSHIT party in this formerly great nation.

I mean, dust off the shelf for that next Pulitzer, we're painting the town purple. Somebody must have waved the Zionist Media green flag, because the avalanche of heavily-spun propaganda is clogging those Republican Intertron pipes.

Why didn't the Palestinians get this kind of Phil Spector journalist production? "Brave Palestinians freedom fighters Twitter in hopes the world will hear them!" and that kind of thing.

My old Journalism professor is spinning in his grave, these stories are so far over the top. And day after day of it, too.

The Iranian President with the unspellable name won the LAST election by about two-thirds, so why is it so fucking incredible that he won THIS election by about two-thirds, too?

Oh, of course, the Iran-is-evil meme! Israel's next project for the US after Iraq. Go fuck over Iran. Good golem!

Obama's been fairly mellow overall... must be the fluoridated water (may not be good for teeth, but it makes people docile).

>It's astoundingly exhausting, and sometimes the sheer weight of the responsibility can get overwhelming and a bit depressing if you think about it as a years long cycle.

I'd say that sunk the nail with a single blow.

Happens all the time.

Sure is funny. 9/11 truthers. haw haw haw. Elvis in a UFO, right?

Pardon me, Andrew Leonard, but the recent publication on the finding of nanothermite in ALL samples of WTC dust pretty much nails the lid on the coffin of the ridiculous "official" story. As if the impossible physics of the near free-fall demolition as documented on videotape wasn't enough. Or then there were the pools of molten metal still too hot to get close to a month after the demolition. It's a JFK thing, the evidence can be mountainous, but haw haw haw, that Lee Harvey Oswald, boy howdy, haw haw haw.

Laugh it up. The WTC was demolished in a false-flag attack. There's nothing funny about that as far as I can tell.

9/11 truthers. haw haw haw.

"Shall I get my hair cut?"

No. Women look better with long hair. All guys like long hair. Observe newly single women in their 30s -- long hair, every one of them. Married, short, unpleasant hair.

Your relationship is over, write it off, don't give it a second thought. Find some woman who has decent hair and encourage her to keep it that way.

Long hair is beautiful and conveys a sense of power. Short hair is an aberration from the 1920s, "bobbed" hair and all that. If I wanted short hair on a partner, I'd date a guy.

Long hair is feminine. Some women cannot stand that concept. So be happy for her new partner and move along.
