well hell, if its good enough for Zbig..................
yeah, I'm sure he has world peace and goodwill in mind
how many of them support nuking israel for peace in the middle east?
or climate change as the most serious threat to the world?
It's about the only time I've seen you believe and trust the Merikan MIC, you shallow scum-swilling Electronic InFanToilet tick. Have a nice evening. :)
Calm down Shlomo.
Suck on a foreskin, see if that helps.

Oh chit - I just about fell outta my chair...
Move your nose goat fcker.
A man cannot serve two masters. He'll love one and despise the other. The essence of military service is obedience. Whether they support or oppose Obama is irrelevant. Cui bono? needs to be answered. Not just Iran, but Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia et al. Appeal to authority is not a valid argument for or against. What avoids war is good. What justifies war is bad.
I despise Obama, but I do not support the neo-cons. If a thousand fools support a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing. If a thousand fools oppose a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing. The evil is war and the justifications for war. If a broken clock avoids war, it is useful. If a moronic psychopath avoids war, it's a good thing.
Not all war is bad. That some wars are bad is not proof that all wars are bad.
The Iranian theocrats have been playing at statecraft for decades and never been smacked down. Given their greasy, murderous, and otherwise contemptible way ways treating them like they have a shred of decency or trustworthiness in them is a mistake.
There is no reason for Iran to have nukes. Israel will not attack a non-nuclear Iran. Ever. A non-nuclear Iran is completely safe. Just as Kenya and Chile are.
I don't know offhand what Iran's said about harming or destroyin Israel, but if it has, an Iran that pursues nukes can hardly expect the Israelis to be passive. A worldwide economic collapse might make a lot of politics a lot more regional or local than before, esp. if the U.S. and Europe turn inward. More local amounts to more freedom of action.
There is no upside to this deal and it will come back to haunt the world. But so will a lot of crazy decisions in our time. Iranian nukes will likely be the least of anyone's problems.
The upside to this deal is that Iran is not attacked by the US. Were prior attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan beneficial to the American sheeple? Is a defensive war against an aggressor, a good war? Who defines good and evil? Do you know what the ayatollah said about Iran and nuclear weapons? Which governments do you trust? Are you ready to die for your leaders?
I'll update Nietzsche's, "Everything the government says is a lie; everything the government has it has stolen," with every war you die in or pay for is for your government masters' glory and enrichment.
Kenyan-approved do anything for their next star list.
My granddaddy fought in WWI and WWII.
My daddy led men in front-line naval combat in WWII.
(Remember the Liberty.)
My uncle never made it back from WWII.
They wouldn't even recognize these treasonous military-industrial fucks.
Dad was shot down twice in WW II. He was a POW for a short stint both times but managed to escape and get back to his outfit so he could climb back in another plane and go at 'em again.
Dad saw train loads of Jews stacked like firewood and their knees were the largest part of their legs. This is a wicked world and Politically Correct folks gonna think damn it when they face hard times.
He was mistaken.
As we have learned from our benevolent government, our actual observances are nothing but anecdotal and likely wrong. Besides, it is an irritant for those who see Jews as the devil and would make their continued disparagement uncomfortable. And everyone knows there is proof on the internet that its all made up and Khomeini concurs (and we know he never lies unless it is to advance Islamic hegemony).
And lets not forget also, that every person of historical importance was either gay or a slave owner.
History is written by the propagandist, once its generation is dead and gone and can no longer retort.
It is interesting that the folks who really know war support the negotiated settlement between the P5 +1 and Islamic Republic of Iran. In contrast, the “chicken hawks” in Congress who oppose the deal, will readily commit our nation to another disastrous war in the ME. To put this in an economic context, Rumsfeld's $70 billion Iraq campaign (to be paid for with Iraqi oil revenue) has cost US taxpayers circa $3 trillion so far; long term costs will be double this, or more. As pointed out by Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett (goingtotehran.com), a US/Israeli attack on Iran will make the Iraq disaster look trivial in comparison. This is truly theater of the absurd.
Except that, if there is going to be a war between Iran and the US/Israel alliance, it would have already happened.
Except you seem to be thinking a re-do of WWII when you should be thinking Stuxnet.
There already is a war going on. It will decide winners and losers. Far from the eyes of the masses of all countries.
Doesn't matter. AIPAC and radical zionists own the US Congress. They get their money from rabid Zionist bankster jews -the Mossad has detailed inteilligence on them about all their secret sex scandals and bribes -most of which were set up and orchestrated by the Zios. We live in a Criminocracy -the Global mafia runs our country and much of the world - they pull the strings on the US President, Congress and the Zio-media.
"Why" do they support it?....
Because every cocksucker on this list is comprised of 25 years of "yes" men (9/11 being the ultimate betrayal) that have watched their professional reputations and careers go down the toilet on a growing number of misadventures that were based entirely on abject lies (they knew were lies) that have killed millions and now includes the last war(s) they will ever fight and most assuredly "lose" in Syria and Ukraine.
Hell it didn't take the U.S. military to come to this conclusion... The "tail that wags them" told them what to do!
there likely won't be a more accurate statement posted on this even more fatuous than usual puff agitprop piece that the King of Penile penmanship squirted out.
I responded to your post because I've read enough of yours to realize that you aren't supporting the Jooo, Jews, Khazars, whatever...just pointing out the hypocrisy and ludicrous premise of GeoWash's doodling .
i don't quite understand the hypocrisy-Israel has a modern Military and a nice pile of nuclear weapons-and they covet Iran-yet they whine and piss and moan like women, about Iran building any.
Iran deserves to defend itself from Israeli aggression, too.
Iran deserves ...
We don't get to keep what we deserve. We only ever get to keep what we can defend against those who would take it away from us.
Therefore ... alliances matter.
I know and work with MANY high-level American military/intelligence leaders and almost ALL of them DO NOT support obomination's Iran deal, ie sell-out.
The TRUTH is that ONLY a TINY MINORITY of high-level American military/intelligence leaders support obomination's Iran sell-out, though you will try to spin it otherwise to suit your anti_america pro-islamic cult/terrorist propaganda agenda.
you must not know anybody above Janitor
so you are pro israel and anti america? we have seen what pro israel gets us(9/11 for one) i think pro persian deserves a workout.
I am definitely absolutely NOT pro Israel. Clearly the huge powerful pro-Israel lobby in the USA has been VERY successful in manipulating USA government into being a servant of Israel, and USA military being on-call-on demand to serve Israel's desires and needs.
BUT all of you idiots who are blaming jews for this situation are GROSSLY WRONG - the culprits in the USA who are responsible for the whoelsale subservience of USA to Israel is American CHRISTIANS, who are obsessed with bringing about the second coming. So if you want to blame the people who are actually responsible for the USA being Israel's puppet, then blame the christians.
If I had the power, I would cut all USA military alliances with ALL religious states, that includes Israel.
learn the difference between a zionist and a jew
You can't be pro American unless you want DC smoldering...make up your mind.
Prober, where did you attend Hebrew school?
Well then, what's your side's plan? Is it "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."?
Seems like that's always your side's plan. War and moar war. And if that doesn't work, moar war.
And back in reality, this iditoic deal that YOU support will most certainly end with bomb bomb bomb Iran and likely an invasion. Oh wait, don't tell me you forgot why 2003 happened!? It's because we had a dooshbag named Saddam that wasn't complying with inspections he agreed to. Endless inspections your barak blowup doll are telling you are going to happen and that Iran HAS ALREADY SAID WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Imbecile.
The alliance should have just doubled down on sanctions - totally isolate Iran from the entire scope of international interactions. The sanctions were biting hard and deep, which is the ONLY reason the Iranians were at the negotiating table at all. If the sanctions were TOTAL and continued, then there is a very good possibility that the islamic cult leaders in Iran could have been deposed by internal revolt.
Exactly. We gave up a winning strategy in order to cave in to the Muslim zealots. A typical Western strategy in the early 21st. century, I hasten to point out. Suicide by weakness and confusion.
Can anyone spell "Sudetenland"? Or "lost opportunities that could have avoided cosmic disaster"?
If Iran, why not Mexico, Colombia, Algeria, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Greenland, Turkey, Chad? Why is it good for any one of these to get nukes? Is there a world interest in freezing the current stupidity in place? God knows it's absurd enough to think that Pakistan has nukes.
The deal ensures an Iranian nuke will appear. This is something good?
stopped reading at "winning strategy"
Who doesn't support it is more telling: The Israeli right wing, the Iranian right wing and the American right wing.
That ought to give you more than enough reasons to support the deal.
Us "fags"are pretty stoked about it, yeah, because it means no nuclear war. Damn shame, isn't it, you fucking racist, homophobic assholes?
Go back to Stormfront or Drudge, fuckfaces.
Is there a "fag" estimate on how long it will take before Iran has a functioning nuclear weapon?
Just that particular, narrow issue now. How long?
and the 6 million jews murdered/genocide was heard way before hitler was fighting in WWI.
Hard to know what to believe.
Hey dumbfuck faggot.
The deal is a setup for the invasion of Iran.
Now get back to fellating your Barack blow up doll.
why do you think it's a set up for war with iran? Just a trick to get them to not want to gain a nuclear bomb in exchange for ending economic sanctions? I have wondered for a while why they haven't invaded Iran yet after all they did others around there iraq, afghanistan, syria. I suspected Iran has had nukes secretly and the neocons didn't want to invade due to mutually assured destruction. They can't invade any county that has nukes like russia and china. But pick on the poor little countries like vietnam and iraq all the time.
I think that NWO loving, democracy loathing, russia hating Zbig is on board should tell you all you need to know to stay the hell away from that treaty.
according to his own book Grand Chessboard, his core policy drive is to keep the "world island": rus/china/mena in a state of perpetual chaos.
If Zbig thinks its great, you can bet its a set up to screw someone over ten times over worse than if you had done nothing.
Just because some piece of paper says it wants to avoid war doesn't make it true or that its the best way to do it.
That is you, isn't it Dutchy?
:)
Squid
Wrong again, cowboy.
Problem is i don't know any of these people...Should I? Are they important or something?
Yes. You should. Which makes you Impotent.
VA Wastes $21 Billion on Contractor Supported IT That Doesn't Work.
How are the VA Computers Systems & Contractor Support for Veterans now? BIG STORY HERE. VA Scandal. Sure the contracts are for unique Systems. Simplify, Streamline, Standardize and it is Felonious to Spend $21 Billion setting up a system that still doesn't transfer Records for Military Medical Systems.
How Long have we been at work in the Computer Age? Military and Banking have been using computers for over 60 years. But to be generous start from the Persian Gulf War, Desert Storm.
- Over $21.4 Billion Dollars on Modernization and Computer Integration.
You know with this kind of Money it is not Organic Employees setting up VA Computers.
No, this is proof of the Rape of Taxpayers by Privatization.

What happened to VA Compensation & Pensions after 2008... it went hyper exponential. I'm sure the VA Employees don't want everyone to see how much money they make. OR take a close look at Privatization of IT Contracts.
"...VA Wastes $21 Billion on Contractor Supported IT That Doesn't Work..."
I disagree entirely, TeethVillage88s. The money is funneled to the appropriate political cronies who take their skim and then, in turn, hire worthless subs stuffed with H1-Bs to do crappy, but low-cost work. You're focusing on the resulting computer systems, when that's not the point of funding any VA contracting work at all.
It's a circle-jerk of corruption and theft that ends up being a win-win-win for everyone involved. Except for the veterans and U.S. IT workers - but who gives a fuck about them?
Paveway IV; Yes I am being too subtle. My intent would be to stimulate Anglo Journalist... I don't mind Germans or Spanish or Belgian Journalist exposure... I just don't expect it.
Wait... my irony might be over-looked by foreigners... so I should practice direct statements if I want Europe to Respond...
Yeah.
US Government, VA, Wastes $21 Billion on Contractor Supported IT That Doesn't Work to help War Veterans while contractors are enriched through privatization.
Clear.
I don't think that foreigners don't care - they just don't care about it happening in the U.S.
Is it really any different anywhere else? Germany, Spain and Belgium have their crony government contractor parasites just like us. We may dwarf them in absolute scale, but relatively speaking we're all probably pretty close. Culturally different psychopaths, but psychopaths just the same.
Nonetheless, you're still right to point it out, TV88s. Forest - trees. Sometimes it's easier to read about how the scam is going down somewhere else before you look at your own back yard, finally notice the local spin on cronyism and say to yourself, "Hey, wait a sec here..."
I tend to think there's still hope for the U.S., but it's important to describe what's happening here, now. There are five and a half billion other people watching how the great U.S.A. experiment turns out. If it collapses under the weight of crony psychopathy, then we owe it to them to understand so they can try to avoid the same fate. They might have the balls to use their woodchippers before it's too late for them. Us? Not so much.
I don't give a fuck about them anymore. They aren't protecting me "over there." They're fighting for the Empire.
Those guys aren't real patriots like Schumer and Eliot Engel...
They are real patriots ... TO ISRAEL, not the United States.
