Do you feel the Tension? Or is it Manufactured?

CBS Reports on "Growing Tensions" between American and Iran.

This type of "intelligence" reporting worked in 2003, why not in 2008?

I know Clinton is all excited to "Obliterate" Iran.

I think the media is spending all their time trying to take down Obama because he's the anti-war candidate. The mainstream Media and the companies that it, they sure would love a big war....But thats just my own crrrazy theory.

North korea has nukes and we send them diplomats and aid.
Iran has a reactor legal under international law and we nuke the fuck outta them.

I forget, which country has oil again? Don't tell me I think I know.

The tension's real alright. Yesterday they sent a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf.

Of course, the tension is somewhat one-sided like what you feel when walking past a neighbor's house with two big pit bulls chained out front, barking at you.

Mullen pretty much says "sure, the Army & Marines are tapped out, but the Navy and Air Force aren't". That means we can't invade Iran, just flatten it with bombs.

That's not war, that's terrorism.

The shame is that with proper diplomacy Iran could be a pro-democratic ally in the middle east. After all, they are a Republic. Ahmadinejad was elected. He has term limits even, and is up for re-election next year. Check out the Wikipedia page for Iran.

Iran is the superpower of the Middle East now, mostly because we flattened Iraq. Bush refuses to speak to him, other than to toss out threats about a nuclear program that our own intelligence groups say doesn't exist.

The media is still serving as the propaganda arm they've become. Question is, are people gonna buy it? Are people going to stand idly by as we invade another country, when we're already exceeding 60% in polling wanting us to end the last war?

Bush wants Iran to start the war for him. That's why there are two aircraft carriers in the gulf, harassing all Iranian vessels. Hi jinx at sea is the oldest, best way to start a war. That way he can say "we're just defending ourselves!"

"Recent pictures from Iran show Waldo in the background, as if to mock American children in their inability to find him."

One caveat to your comment NetRunner, Iran is not a superpower in the Middle East, its a Shia state that is surrounded by Sunni states, it doesn't really enjoy any influence bar supporting Hamas in Lebanon, who also happen to be compromised of Shia.

Iran as a superpower was only created by the American media by constantly saying they are developing nuclear weapons. The president in Iran is now not enjoying majority favor with the people, as his reforms to help the poor has amounted to nothing more then political talk. The more we build up Iran as a superpower the more paranoid the Iranian government will become.
