Over at the informative site The Race for Iran Hillary and Flynt Leverett focus on just who has and continues to push the U.S. towards an unnecessary military confrontation with Iran based on inflammatory and unsubstantiated claims. Really disgusting that those same people who pushed the U.S. into an unnecessary, illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq are having quite a bit of success pushing us towards another unnecessary military confrontation.

Hell our military and our government refuse to even count or talk about the hundreds of thousands of people who are dead and injured in Iraq. The majority of our MSM outlets do not make any effort to cover the issue of death and destruction in Iraq. Not a peep about the millions displaced in Iraq in our MSM. The majority of the American public do not seem concerned about these critical issues. The MSM plays a huge role in not informing citizens in the U.S. about the bloody and brutal consequences of our invasion of Iraq.

We are one sick nation.

"WHO WILL BE BLAMED FOR A U.S. ATTACK ON IRAN?

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States last week was capped off today with the broadcast of a previously-taped interview on Fox New Sunday. The interview covered a range of important topics, including the state of the U.S.-Israel relationship and prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace. But it is the Prime Minister’s remarks on Iran that deserve special attention—for these remarks suggest that Netanyahu is embarked on an extremely dangerous course. Netanyahu is pushing the United States to take eventual military action against Iran—a confrontation that would have predictably disastrous consequences for U.S. interests and regional stability, and for which Israel and the pro-Likud community in the United States will be blamed, because they will have led the charge to war. Such a scenario would be far more damaging to Israel and the American Jewish community than anything Iran might conceivably do.

Three points regarding Iran from Netanyahu’s interview with Fox News Sunday warrant particular attention."
