Lets hope Syriana dude is wrong...



@ moxie & vast.

This is what you show as proof? A segment on Al Jazeera Moxie, what did that segment prove? & vast - you are telling me that because Hillary said it I am supposed to be all over it?

Just because the US media is not that great - does not mean that Al Jazeera is great and unbiased.

You're imagining I typed words that I did not.

You mention "proof" like there was some highly technical debate going on in here. If that's the case, then I will point out that comments about Al Jazeera's reliability are ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy. :cool:

Fox News or MSNBC are not great or unbiased. Generally though if they have a news article saying that Joe Blow said something on the radio, it is usually true.

The Al Jazeera article, written by a Jew, gives the name of the radio show on which they are claiming that the CIA veteran made the comments. A few seconds of searching lead me to a page where the episodes of this radio program get archived. So if someone wants to prove that Al Jazeera made this story up, then they can start by listening to the actual radio clip.
 
Al Jazeera was and continues to be a mouthpiece of MI6 and British imperialism. Owned by Qatar oligarchs, financed by British oligarchs. Deep British roots. It's about as credible as a fucking tabloid.

These are the same people who told you that Saddam was a three headed monster, Qaddafi is the devil, and on and on and on. These leaders were and are secularist, pro development, pan-arabic regional leaders who did not and do not support the religious reactionaries that Hillary Clinton and al jazeera call rebels or freedom fighters or pro democracy rainbow makers or whatever the fuck nonsense they're feeding you. Pro science, pro education, pro trade, phds pouring out of Iraq and Libya. Can't have leaders empowering their people. Time to whip the press whores into action and drop us some bombs.

As BigWill said the CIA is a terrorist organization. They back other terrorists to wage asymmetrical war on legitimate governments around the world. Divide and conquer.

In case you haven't seen the memo yet, the people that Nato is supporting in Libya, they are literally Al Qaeda. Literally. Religious lunatic dupes who killed GIs in Iraq. Of course that makes plenty of sense if you know Al Qaeda's history.

To the extent that there is a conflict in Israel, the roots of the conflict are in Zionism (ideology), not Judaism (religion). And it goes back to before World War II, dirty deals, conspiracies, and a bunch of history that most people don't like to talk about.

And by the way, as much of a boner as Ahmadinnerjacket is, he too is largely pro development, pro science, pro trade, anti religious extremism. If you don't understand the power dynamics in Iran's military and religious leadership, it would behoove you to do some reading, particularly if there is any truth to these reports.

Although we have been hearing this exact same story on and off for what, five years now? Since at least 08.
