radx, you can vote for your own video. You should also flag this as long, since it has over 10 minutes.

Great post, BTW.

Well, first i'd like to see if this is of any interest at all. One part of this is already climbing the top 15 list, another one just got sifted as well. No need for another Ron Paul-esque overload, even though this, at least to me, is really worth watching.

There's an equally interesting talk by Scott Ritter at the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY, and can be found here: http://www.freespeech.org/videodb/index.php?action=detail&video_id=10829&browse=0

If it wasn't a RM stream, i would have posted that one instead.

I say go for it. Videosift has a bias against long videos, and by not upvoting your own submission you've actually increased that bias. If this doesn't go too far, I suggest you requeue monday morning. With the new 2 day deadline, weekend submissions are trickier.

Again, great sift.

Realizing it is a complex situation, considering the fact that Iran has aspirations to develop some nuclear program or another (of course not weapons)-coming from the munchkin mulllah moron Akkboobhimongeddjob, what the hell are the people of Iran doing, supporting a fella who does not believe the Holocaust even happened? Why would a nation like saaaaay America or Great Britain want to try and work with a throwback like Maaakmoody, to work towards anything but making sure his little ass has NO ACCESSS to anything remotely radioactive? Is a leader that spews, and a peoples that believe the spew, worthy of the split atom???....Fuck no, let em burn oil candles, and go to bed when the fucking sun goes down.

You need smoke alarms? Contact the countries that have made some progress along the path of 20th century sensibilities.
You need some Geiger-cracklin' substances for your hospitals? Ok....supervised.

You want to build a reactor? Fuck off and die-Live in the dark until you get rid of batshit-insane leaders.

Now, Mr. Ritter, you are obviously disillusioned from your tenured career as weapons inspector or Marine corps intelligence, who knows.....but man, kick the dead horse which is only a symptom of a larger problem, till ya have a heart-attack, your arguments are moot-So what if there were no weapons of mass destruction: At issue, is how leaders can make shit up to get a country behind a war, or why let adolescents play with matches.....
If Saddam had had WMD's, ya think he would have used them? Yes. Did he use chemical weapons to gas Kurds? Yes. Should he have swung by his neck until death...We think so.....so, get rid of lying fuckers before they turn into a major clusterfuck for the planet-

Why do we let Kim Dung Illness continue to fuck up the minds and souls of N. Koreans daily? Because nobody....NO world leaders, have what it takes to call a fucking spade a spade. WHY? Because they are greedy bastards.Why? Because we let them-we are too distracted with shopping and entertainment, to give a flying fuck.

Believe it or not, the only reason we are littering the planet with the numbers of humans in the conditions of imbalance that exist, is energy.
Energy without charge, would alleviate the the need for a world economy, that works for so few, and destroys so many, and so much of the planet.

This addiction to creature comforts in the last 100 yrs, and our willingness to let financiers, lawyers, and governments continue to build this house of cards, is what has caused men (mankind) to turn into pussies, the Brazilian rain forest into a charcoal factory, etc etc etc etc.The New York Society for Ethical Whateverthefuck.....ineffectual circle jerk.

Now since radx was so kind as to let me piss all over his thread, guess I'll give him a vote-

choggie: Ritter doesn't disagree with you. What he criticizes is the notion that the US should go to war against Iran, because this would have catastrophic consequences.

I could expand the argument, but it's all in the video.

I know man, got the gyst from watching the 3 segments I could bear, .... get as tired of hearing folks talk about the ills of the planet as I do watching them do that much less to stall the inevitable....all the worst scenarios will only be remedied with some suffering and catastrophe that is not necessarily, human-induced-
"Shake and bake this planet, O great Kthulu! Niburu, bring us thy cleansing, gravitational wiggle!"

Seems like there's not much interest after all.

I'll see if i can find a source for Ritter's comment on the perceived value of Iraqi lifes, which can be found in part 9 (5:53 to 7:14). It's a very crucial point he makes and the delivery is rather emotional.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
