Reply #11: Do you not see a difference between Iran and Iraq?

[Behind the Aegis]

One was "claimed" to have WMD. The other is claiming to "get them" (sometimes).

One claimed...well nothing. The other claims the desire to wipe another sovereign nation off the face of the earth.

See any difference? One 'build-up' was on faulty info. One is based on the countries own bullshit rhetoric.

Here is the real difference...the Iraq war was blamed on Israel because the war would "protect them (Israel)," despite the leader having no method of attacking. This 'build-up' has been nothing more than 'saber-rattling' on both sides, but perfect cover to set Israel up as the 'fall guy.' See, it is "win-win." The 'far-right" can claim we are doing this for G-d; the 'far-left' can blame Israel again for the death of the US military and assert they (Israel) actually control the US government; all the while, the real culprits, the oil-mongers go unscathed!

BTW...Edwards is not "pimping" or "cheerleading" for another war. He is stating his opinion based on multiple sources, as opposed to a single source (for the Iraq debacle).
