US Congress Votes to Provoke Iran

Wars and conflicts International Governments USA

A few weeks ago there was a story in Israel’s leading Newspaper the Haaretz:
Iranian official: UN sanctions may lead us to seal off Persian Gulf

Iran has the high mountains north of the narrow Straits of Hormuz,
and if provoked, they can shut off all oil from the Middle East. What
do you think that would do to our economy?

Naturally, our Congress voted 404 - 4 to refer Iran to the UN Security Council. Are they trying to start a war?

404 -4 .... INCLUDING most of the leading
"Progressive Democrats" like John Conyers, Bernie Sanders, Barney
Frank, Maxine Waters and Henry Waxman. They all voted to provoke confrontation, even when

a National Intelligence Estimate
on Iran’s nuclear capabilities was released showing that Iran was 10
years away from building a nuclear weapon. The Security Council option,
favored heavily by the bill, thinly veils the route to a military
confrontation with Iran.

The Administration, covered by this bill, is leading this country to
take military action against Iran. Make no mistake, that is the US
program at the UN, just as it was prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The Washington Post confirms
Kucinich’s statement- according to our own National Intelligence
Estimate, Iran is 10 yrs from a Nuclear Bomb- so what the hell is
Congress doing?

We’re seeing a mirror image of the Iraq war buildup. After all
that’s been exposed, how is it possible that they can possibly be
pushing another war in exactly the same fashion? They’re getting away with it solely thanks to the complicity of Congress.

It appears that the Bushies would like to use the "create a new reality" plan to launch another war to divert from the War Lies, Bush committing a crime, Spying on Peace Groups, Katrina Warning Ignored, New Orleans Evictions, Abramoff Corruption, Cheney outed Plame, Halliburton looting, Anthrax Vaccinatons, Stolen Election, the "Patriot" Act authorizing a New Gestapo, and other scandals.

In other words, they don’t mind starting another needless war,
sacrificing more young Americans, killing more innocents and creating
even more hatred of US worldwide, sinking us all into more debt, just
to cover their asses. Or maybe they really are trying to destroy
America.

Why isn’t there an organized opposition to this BUllSHit? Because
the "opposition leader" Nancy Pelosi led the Democrats to vote with
Bush again, just like she told them NOT to LISTEN to Katrina Survivors testimony, just like her plan to have no plan on Iraq...
total and complete BS from the supposed oppostion leader. Why did the
Dems in Congress vote for someone like that to be their leader? Why is
she still there? What are we supposed to do with idiots like this
rolling over for Bush again and again?

Daily Kos says to wait til 2008. MoveOn, PDA, True Majority - all without a plan. On the other hand, I do have a plan that could work - Really - check it out.

  • As far as I am concerned, Pelosi, Conyers, etc. have shot their bolt. They have proved that they are hypocritical liars on the side of the Busheviks. Vote them out in November as well! Otherwise, they will simply help start the next war.

  • The nuclear holocaust is about to begin. This year.
    America will be attacked again by supposed terrorist attack from Iran. Thats right... Iran will get the blame even though they will have absolutely nothing to do with it. Israel will attack Iran.... Iran will retaliate... America will bomb Iran.... some of those bombs will be nuclear.... Russia and China will get pissed at America as Russia and China have multi billion $$$ oil trade deals with Iran..... If America makes the mistake of under-estimating Russia and China being easy to bully America will be bombed with nukes. It does not matter if America has 5000 nukes aimed at Russia and Russia has only 2500 nukes aimed at America. These nukes are hydrogen bombs and one 40 kiloton hydrogen bomb will vapourize New York.
    Imagine what 2500 will do to America and 5000 will do to Russia. The holocaust will start and the human race will perish. Slowly but surely. Nature will reclaim the earth as paradice and humans will have no future in it. Cash in your insurances and enjoy your life now as you do not have much longer to live.

    • Please stop this hopeless talk-kgb56

    • What do you mean, "hopeless"?

      It is high time Whitey destroys himself... Maybe, we can build a better world afterwards. It may well be a lesson that humanity will learn from and remember; realizing what was Whitey’s way.
