3. If Ritter is correct...
We need to make this a hot summer for the GOP... protests everywhere.

5. Which link?
The link to white Rose or the one for the Quicktime? If you mean the Quicktime, that takes a while to load.

2. Got a synopsis?
Ritter was on Tucker Carlson saying we were already violating Iran's airspace and borders doing spy missions.....did Ritter say when he thought any real invasion might begin?

7. Brief synopsis
1. Everything necessary for initial invasion of Iran being put in place

2. The invasion is being War gamed right now at a military base in the US I forget the name of the base.

3. The Neo cons are convinced they can manipulate the American public
thru a compliant American media to swallow another War.

4. American military is already using unmanned drones to overfly Iran
for reconnaissance.

5. CIA & Special Forces are actively involved with known terrorist group
MEK to try and destabilize Iranian Government.

6. He hopes really hopes he's wrong.

I'm sure I've left a few thing out but that is most of it.

8. Dammit. Is Ritter credible? Is he wrong often?
I have family who will be in harm's way if this goes down.

The thing that scares me the most is that I don't think the neocons or Bush care about the consequences of a war. They already have shown absolutely no concern about planning a war or for an occupation; what the hell would stop them from attacking Iran? They have no ethics, no morals, and nothing to lose.

9. Credible? Yes. Often wrong? No.
Your family should get away now, if at all possible.

13. Not possible: the ones I'm talking about did what the College Repubs
should have done.

16. I missed it...
did they discuss the problem of recruiting troops? Does he think a draft will be called for?

Obviously, bozo boy's planning this without any hope of getting a coalition together.

Iran has never produced one terrorist. I don't know about supporting them before or after the illegal invasion of Iraq.

So... any country that doesn't welcome corporate fascism with open arms is basically phucked, right?

11. Listen to what he's saying about how a war with Iran will cause...
...the Shiites in southern Iraq to explode, compromising the safety of 140,000 American troops.

This administration wants nothing less than Armageddon. They are evil incarnate.

12. I think now it is inevitable considering Iran's recent elections.
The hardliner, anti-american won the elections in Iran. Not good.

14. "The Neo cons are convinced they can manipulate the American public"
Guess what: there's only a few ways that they could do that...

17. The neocons are batshit crazy....The american public isn't brainwashed...
They're waking up in millions from their collective sleep....If they really think anyone of intelligence will even be watching their bullshit soap opera to go to Iran, they've got another thing coming......

The only thing the public are looking to is impeachment......And getting rid of all the little pieces of pie responsible. :mad: :mad: :mad:

PNAC and the NEOCONS have gone completely batshit crazy, as has the council on national policy......They think they can just throw out wars at every whim and destroy everything, since the jig is up and everyone knows the crime........

They need to be removed as quickly as possible.......IRAN will work to the advantage of spurring outrageous chaos in the US to dislodge everyone. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :nuke:

18. My favorite quote from Ritter:
"From a National security perspective...everything the Bush administration has done since 9-11 has made it more dangerous for America in the world at large."

19. KICK! This is a "must-listen" clip for all 70,000 of us.
I don't recall that Ritter presented this analysis in his latest print article. He clarifies many of Bushco's motives. And he's rarely, if ever, proven wrong later.
