This is today. Saturday. Five days AFTER NIE report. Fuck these WARMONGERS.
All Stick - No Carrot

~snip~
MANAMA, Bahrain, Dec. 8 — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates declared today that Iran is a grave threat to regional security, even without nuclear weapons, and called on Tehran to account for the full range of intelligence describing its support for terrorism and instability around the world.

Just days after Iran claimed political victory when a new American intelligence assessment found Tehran had frozen its nuclear program, Mr. Gates said in his keynote address to a security conference here that Iran could restart those efforts at any time and must come clean on its efforts to build the bomb.

1. Beth calls Gates a threat to regional, no, to global security.

Now we know whose water carrier he is.

just like the rest of this misAdministration.

5. Regional = Israel plus the U.S.in the ME. And our involvement in

Shite-Sunni Islamic internal century old fighting and Palestine-Israel inter fighting decades old.

When predatory pillaging people set out to rule the world, they need to frame stuff to establish pretense. Create, stir, place, fight, profit. Equals killing torturing stealing exiling.

And a lot of propaganda poverty and having the basics wiped out from right under others feet.

6. PNAC et.al. is a conspiracy, not a theory-and they have a "final solution" for everyone

in their "total war" to ensure "full spectrum dominance".

They call it "peace keeping" and "regional stability".
