On one hand we learn that the MEK cult has hired THOUSANDS of Polish university students for a free Paris trip to join the SMALL crowd of MEK against its terrorist labeling in EU. While Dr. Ledeen considers Radio Farda worthless, it was the only site that noted this EYE OPENING news on Polish students getting paid and going to Paris all-expense paid by MEK—which the whole source of its money is courtesy of CIA/American taxpayers!

Yet, BBC ignored this important news, while broadcasting the “large” MEK demonstration. This group is almost like Chalabi and associates, who carry guns and already earned frequent mileage by killing so many Iranians and Americans as well as their own members. As I said plot is thickening by so many flimsy characters funded by U.S. taxpayers.

I wrote the MEK portion because it is one of those dots that connect the WACKY, GED-EDUCATED U.S. politicians that are sinking U.S. image, power, influence and credibility to the lowest level.

As Dr. Ledeen avoids Seymour Hersh “for fear of contaminating” his PC, we now learn that $400 million was indeed allocated against Iranian regime, which for sure portion of it went for THOUSANDS of Polish students having a free trip to Paris all paid by MEK/CIA/American tax money!!

I think the news that was provided to Hersh is by the same intelligence community that can see the invisible hands within the government that is pushing U.S. to a wrong war that is not needed and must be avoided. So the same brave and patriotic Americans are standing up to the few, but influential individuals and entities who seek war between U.S. and Iran.

As I read more of Seymour Hersh article (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/07/080707fa_fact_hersh?currentPage=1) and how kindergarten-level U.S. policy makers are SCREWING with the U.S. power and influence.

These people think “ethnic minority”, hating a regime, or things like that all translates into regime change and flower-throwing masses will overwhelm U.S. forces by hand-made rugs and hot tea and lots of kisses. As I asked before, I demand to know from Dr. Ledeen what are these people smoking and injecting themselves? Someone must answer me! What are they smoking?

ML:

I rather like Farda, to tell the truth. I didn’t say anything critical of it.

Bush is done.

Finished.

Stick a fork in him.

And now nothing is going to happen in this presidency, and nothing will happen in the next, at least not within the first year, for the new administration will pretend that all previous diplomatic effort, by ourselves, by the UN and by Europe never happened, never took place, and they will try, on their own, to make the cretins in Tehran see reason.

So the way I see it, Tehran has at least a 15 months.

As for Israel, they’ve developed the appalling habit of running their projected operations past Washington for approval.

Washington isn’t about to green-light an Israeli operation against the ruling’s council Manhattan Project.

And that presupposes that Israel has the Air Force equal to the task, which they don’t.

I was discussing the issue with a staffer of Senator Lieberman. And I said “whatever appetite that Bush and his team ever had to grapple with the enemies of civilization is gone, ————- just gone.”

And the staffer said “That’s the Senator’s read of events as well, he feels they lost their stomach for this fight sometime ago.”

The parallels between this administration and that of LBJ are eerie, ———— just eerie.

Another Texan, who didn’t have much stomach for the fight, ———— talked big however, ——— but when it came down to it, ———- all he wanted to do was “send signals,” instead of finishing off enemy regimes.

LBJ’s widow said of him, “that he didn’t want the war in Southeast Asia, he wanted a war on poverty.” Much the same could be said of this rather pitable specimen, who wanted to go around the country chirping about the head start program, and urge parents to, in his gushy embarassing way, to “love your children.”

Those who are normal ALREADY loved their kids, thank you very much, and those that didn’t love their kids, weren’t going to be coaxed into doing so by his bizarre comments.

Just brain dead stuff from day one.

And all along Professor Ledeen here has been branded the mad bomber, the great war-mongering neo-con, ————————— and his approach was the only damn one capable of warding off the death of God knows how many.

People who don’t have a clue ought to be estopped from entering high office.

Can’t we make that some kind of Constitutional Amendment or something? I’ll try anything at this point.

Just go down the names of some of these guys over the last few decades.

Vance, Andrew Young, Shultz, Scowcroft, Holbrooke, Albright, Rice, Powell, Armitage, Burns.

No wonder Washington collectively flipped when Bush first forwarded Bolton.

After such a gang of dopes, Bolton was just altogether too much, too stark, too bracing, —————– just too much. I suppose in retrospect the fascinating thing is that the President, who soon caved, even bothered to nominate him.

Historians are going to have a field day trying to deciper the policies, the moods and the attitudes of this President, and this administration.

Today’s decision by our Supreme Court, with Scalia in the majority, ————————- I just want to remind all of you that Bush’s Solicitor’s General’s office took a position WITH THE DISSENT in their amicus brief.

Which means they sided against the history of the 2d Amendment, against the longstanding understanding of the 2d Amendment, and what’s more, that the Bush team took a position CONTRARY to the longstanding position on that issue of the GOP platform.

Just one more instance, if any were necessary, of the EXTENT of the WIDESPREAD, sweeping, all inclusive incompetency of this failed administration.

Al-Baradei is on the Iranian regime’s payroll. He is married to an Iranian woman and as the Iranians say: “you yourself can see the story from here.”

Dan– I agree with most of what you said. Bush and Condi screwed us up quite badly on Iran. Bush may have the virtues that someone alluded to here, but right now –at war time–we do not need a virtuous, kind to subservient, gentle, sentimental man; we need a warrior.

If I hear that tired, trite, ridiculous, baseless, hollow, and stupid “All options are on the table” bull crap on Iran one more time, I think I am going to get really sick with stomach convulsions.

Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel and America off the map, and Bush dances with a sword in the Middle East, and dances again with some African tribesman. This is a war time leader? Or a buffoon disguised as the president of US of A?

And look at what we got: Condi Rice in tight fetish dresses with Bush’s Iran/Islamist Fascist policy leash tightly in hand sashaying around the Middle East! Condi would love to have another Iranian boyfriend (literally sleeping with the enemy) if only Mottaki would as much as look at her in meetings.
Pathetic is the right word, all right!

And where are VP Cheney and Elizabeth? And why are they allowing this farce to go on is beyond me.

Israel should act. And Olmert cannot pull it off.
Just today Mullen was over in Israel trying to cool their heels on Iran. Mullen is a dove on Iran. The hand writing is on the wall for Israel: US (performed by Condi Rice) is veering away from Israel and throwing them to the Islamist wolves as a prize to leave US alone. “Appeasement is feeding the crocodile in the hope that it will eat you last.” said, Winston Churchill.

It is final showdown for Israel, do nothing and face destruction, or act decisively and with all of its might (including nuclear) – the odds are even for Israel in this existential and final decision. Go down at the hands of world Islamists headed by Iran, or face a nuclear war when Iran has nukes. Time is not on our side in this at all.

Naval blockade of Iran is The LEAST that can be done right now. But we are clearly winding down and veering to the left in preparation for B.Hussein Obama’s take over of the White House, if you have not noticed lately.

Our only hope is/was McCain, but from what it looks like (again thanks to Bush backlash in the country), B.Hussein’s is going to be a landslide.

Our Iran and overall ‘axis of evil’ (what a farce that term turned out to be) policy is a total and unequivocal failure and a disaster. Bush and Condi’s names will remain forever in infamy over bowing timidly to Islamists worldwide. B.Hussein will finish the job by completely surrendering to Islami-Fascsists of the world (Nixon to China, is like, Hussein to Iran), and throwing Israel to the dogs.

Yeah, happy 4th of July to you too Mr. President! Our fore-fathers would have been sick to their stomach seeing what a failure you made of your powers, and of this country’s future.

Mr Bush and his administration ( including Mr Colin Powell) are the very definitions of “politicians”.
I live in Iran. Honestly speaking until a few years ago we could deceive ourselves that something will be done by Mr Bush and we were so happy when he was re-elected. Today I even don’t follow what he or Ms Rice say on Iran. What can A once-superpower ( who cannot defend its own soldiers) do to help our desperate nation?
