We are the danger. Not Iran!
A must read by Steven D at Booman
The deadly missile attack on the USS Stark was unleashed by a Mirage F-1 jet — flown by an Iraqi pilot who mistook the U.S. warship for an Iranian vessel. [...]

Responding to the great loss of lives “in a spasm of rage at the one country that had nothing to do with the American deaths,” Republican Senator and ex-Secretary of the Navy John Warner denounced Iran as “a belligerent that knows no rules, no morals.” In language that hinted of military action, Democratic Senator John Glenn slammed Iran as “the sponsor of terrorism and the hijacker of airliners.”
Yes, you read that right. An Iraqi warplane destroyed the USS Stark with a cruise missile, and both Democrats and Republicans at the time condemned Iran, the country that had absolutely nothing to do with the tragic loss of 37 American lives,
This is what makes me nervous about our leading Democratic presidential candidates, when they pander for votes and campaign contributions from organizations like AIPAC, a conservative pro-Israeli lobbying group which has consistently called for the US military to attack Iran. Both parties and the media have painted Iran as the number one threat to America for so long, that we forget that the truth is actually the reverse:
It is the United States that has been, and continues to be, the single greatest threat to Iran and its people.
Dan D gets it. He lays out one of the main reasons why Clark supporters like me are unable back any of the other candidates.
It’s a dangerous world out there and the last thing we need is a President who is stuck in a political mind set……..damn the evidence. It doesn’t matter if it’s by ignorance or ideology, the damage will be no less severe.
Run Wes Run
