Truth About Iran
We've all heard the WMD story before:
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
Iraq was involved in 9/11.
Iraq wants to destroy Israel and the United States.
Iraq poses an imminent threat to the global security.
We all know now that those allegations were false, but there isn't much we can do to get out of Iraq while Bush is still in office.
Hindsight is almost always 20/20.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
We're hearing the same old stories now about Iran. Since Bush's credibility is in the negative range of the proverbial "truth spectrum," I'm surprised that no one has asked whether his accusations about Iran's nuclear program are true. Maybe it's a rhetorical question, but the American people have the right to know if they are being swindled again by a warmonger.
Watch this video of Scott Ritter's take on Iran and its nuclear program. He's a former chief UN Weapons Inspector for Iraq, and he has a lot to say about this subject:

Maybe Obama's desire to hold talks with Iran sans preconditions is actually the wisest way to rectify this issue.
Btw, the last time Iran/Persian Empire ever attacked another nation was...get ready...1739.

Hillary is not as wise. Hear it from her own lips. Sounds like Hillary's foreign policy is eerily similar to a couple of other guys we all know and love:

Looks like she yet again did not read the newest NIE (in december) which stated catagorically that Iran had stopped it's nuclear weapons program.

If you had any doubts that Hillary is just as much of a war hawk as McCain, Bush or Cheney - this seals it.
