Tehran loudly voices it's moral commitment to Hamas. Their brothers in arms blather.
But is it perhaps Tom Clancey himself who keeps producing these phantom intelligence reports that outline the Iranians sending money and munitions to Hamas.
I voted for Obama.
If he's so wet behind the ears that he falls for what could become another weapons of magical manufacture, great sky high hype.
I sure hope Obama's got his shit wired straight, because after Bush, I do not welcome four more crazy years, added to Bush's eight.

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran.[2]

A little bird told me that GBT's posts will be deleted soon (again) and it will appear that you've been arguing with nobody.
You don't want that, do you? To look like you're talking to nobody?
Chirp chirp.
Sorry, sorry, just got carried away.
The hippies said it better than any neocon dickhead:
Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
I was of course referring to substantive and civil criticism such as people like Glenn, Digby and others (including myself, I'd like to believe) express in a very detailed and factually supported manner, and not to "He's a Republican pretending to be a progressive who will destroy the US" types who just like the sound of their own online voices and constitute a small if vocal minority of Obama critics. I.e. people who base their quite valid criticisms on things that he's actually said and done, and not on conjecture over what he supposedly will say and do someday. The former is fine, and necessary. The latter, though, is just as silly as the knee-jerk defenses of Obama as some sort of demigod who is Unlike Any Other Politician in World History.
Fools fall in with fools, I suppose. I really wish they'd start their own blogs, though, where they could have at it without wasting everyone's time here. Better yet, they could take their peculiar obsessions to online virtual worlds like World of Warcraft and create their own avatars and have at it. Obamabot345 vs. Nobamatroll85 vying for super magical elf pixie dust! (Or whatever these things are called, I'm way too old and unhip to know about that whole subculture.)
Bill O' Reilly had an ACLU Lawyer on The Radio Factor and Billo got the guy to admit that he doesn't believe the official story regarding 9/11. That means he is a loon and a kook and that the ACLU loves terrorists, hates American Values, and shouldn't be taken seriously, yet Glenn takes the ACLU seriously, even after THE GREAT BILL O' REILLY showed that one of the ACLU Lawyers questioned 9/11 (and therefore is an America hating loon).
What gives?
You're poking a GG/Salon sacred cow and favored son. You will soon wind up in the delete pool.
Gosh, and we were gonna end up in jail, right Wallaby? How's that going, by the way?
You should know more about your people or I'd get the idea that you were a fakir or even faker.
You mean you haven't gotten your Cease and Desist Order from Abe Foxman yet?
G, you want MALACO records

Go and look. There's great stuff there, and your money will be going to a good place.
was before he turned into Mr. Militarism. Lest we forget about America's obsession with militarism and our permanent military footing.
The United States possesses 8,000 active and operational nuclear warheads. Two thousand are on hair trigger alert, ready to be launched with 15 minutes warning. It is developing new systems of nuclear force, known as bunker busters. The British, ever cooperative, are intending to replace their own nuclear missile, Trident. Who, I wonder, are they aiming at? Osama bin Laden? You? Me? Joe Dokes? China? Paris? Who knows? What we do know is that this infantile insanity - the possession and threatened use of nuclear weapons - is at the heart of present American political philosophy. We must remind ourselves that the United States is on a permanent military footing and shows no sign of relaxing it.
6. Since becoming president elect, Obama has received security briefings that were unavailable to him a year ago (when he commented about the NIE report).
Ah yes, secret intelligence the rest of us haven't seen. Trust our leaders, they have secret information we don't know. That always works out well.
7. Many of the past loony-left conspiracy theories are soon to be proven untrue (marshal law, permanent seizure of power by Bush and Cheney, and the "self-pardon" of Bush by Bush). Correct me if I'm wrong on or after January 20, 2009.
Not for nothing but Bush seizing power and overthrowing the constitution isn't a "conspiracy theory" and because it didn't happen doesn't mean it was crazy or implausible. Bush didn't get assassinated either but that's because the Secret Service did good work protecting him. Bush didn't seize power not because he's such a power averse type but more likely because the existing democratic safeguards were strong enough to prevent it. Rice actually suggested funding the Iraq war out of the treasury without Congress' approval if the Democrats had stood firm on timetables. That would be a full fledged coup as it would invalidate Article I of the constitution and reduce Congress to being an advisory body.
Gross violations of the constitution are no small issue. Neither is a nuclear blast in one of our cities.
Gee, the world managed to see the USSR face the USA for decades without such a thing happening, and why? MAD. Why would MAD fail to work on Iran? The US could obliterate every square inch of Iran dozens of times, would they really nuke America? Even if a "suitcase bomb" were possible and given to terrorists, they would have to fear America would nuke them no matter what if such a thing exploded. Ditto for Israel which has second strike capacity.
When former Sec. of Defense and other leaders, who have no apparent axe to grind, warn of the current and future threats we face, . . . I think it's obvious that Obama is taking their advice to heart.
Perry is a long time worrier over nuclear proliferation threats. I say that not to dismiss him, but only that his being quoted being concerned about the issue generally means very little regarding Iran or the probability they would give terrorists nuclear bombs to smuggle into America. After Bush utterly blew it with North Korea, to be quoting Perry supportively now when he was sounding alarms about North Korea in 2003 is bleakly amusing.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
