One of the country’s most prominent neoconservative pundits has been accused of using a fabricated quote from Iran’s supreme religious leader in pushing his argument that a US invasion is the only recourse to deter that country’s nuclear ambitions.

Norman Podhoretz is among the most vocal in urging President Bush to bomb Iran, and he has predicted the president will launch an attack before his term is up. Podhoretz’s argument is based on his belief that a nuclear-armed Iran would not be deterred from launching its missiles because its leaders do not fear their country’s destruction.

The Economist has called into question an oft-cited statement Podhoretz attributes to Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini, saying it is likely “bogus.”

this is disturbing. A real tragedy that the MSM hasn't given this an ounce of attention. Podhoretz and Pipes sound like such extremists, spewing their opinionated shit with nothing to back it up.

this video looks like it had some parts edited out (michael Rubin and his greatest hits in the bush administration). did we miss something ?
