8. The version I've linked to has no armored vehicles blowing up
and it doesn't claim that American $$ are going to Iran - although I have to admit that's implied:

"Iran gets $100,000,000 richer...selling oil around the world."

Whether we get oil directly or not from Iran, there's no doubt that Iran benefits from worldwide prices propped up by American consumption.

This is directly in reference to the floundering Kerry-Lieberman climate bill in the Senate. If anything it advocates using economic means instead of military ones to achieve foreign policy objectives.

It (awkwardly) attempts to use fear to sell the climate bill, but it's an even more obtuse way of garnering support for war.
