What a joke!Are you taling about the same USA who deliberately, yes deliberately handed Iraq and Afghanistan to Mullah-Iran as a dowery for public consummation of a strategic secret relation that started 30 years ago? Wonder of Wonders!!!

GEORGE WASHINGTON "Beware of pretend patriotism." -1796JOHN ADAMS "Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God s service when it is violating all His laws." -1816THOMAS JEFFERSON "By oft repeating an untruth, men come to believe it themselves." JAMES MADISON "Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad." -1798

i love these neocon apologists on youtube who dont care a bit that cheney is planning to stage more false flag attacks so he can justify attacking iran. they are simple-minded to the degree that they believe a patriot is someone who never questions his government. thats wrong. in our own short american history, our nation only came about because of the actions of men like madison, jefferson, washington, adams, and franklin who spent ALL of their time and energy questioning their corrupt leaders.

Cheney is insane. I still don't think we'll attack before 2009, or even in 2009. And Israel won't go in without our support, especially now that they are in political turmoil.
