6. I'm neither defending Faux No Newz nor the Petrolcrats.
The TV ad I've seen several times in the DC area shows a convoy of American armoured vehicles blowing up. The next scene is of Ahmadinejad. Then we see the Iranian flag while the voice over talks about the costs of sending billions of dollars to the region. The fact is, we buy no oil from Iran under the terms of the existing embargo, and there has been no solid evidence presented, despite repeated charges from some Pentagon sources, that Iran has been responsible for providing or setting off IEDs in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

The ad is war propaganda wrapped in a green message. Why do you think I'm wrong about that?
