Soft-Soap

The progressive "left" incessantly beating drums of "the neocons planned attack on Iran." From no-name bloggers to high profile award winning journalists with credientials, from wrinkled pols like Ron and Dennis, seemingly oddballs, one from each side of the aisle. Why such bleating?

Because fear draws a following from that cloddish faction of Americans who are aroused by fear, who enjoy life in a constant state of apprehension, and who will not or cannot analyze and evaluate information.

The "left" presents slick docudrama, mags and blogs of warning warning warning, as if the only agenda in their heart is to be of public service. But it sells, and it manipulates folks to vote Democrat or third party; it's a nudge to those symbol-minded folks who want to believe voting makes a difference in the overall grand scheme. Only you can prevent more war. Give Bubba on the left a sense of power and pride so he can say he stopped mass murder, he made a difference; he saved the world, he voted for (picked) the right team.

It's leading the sheep to vote, not revolt – to perpetuate the myth that voting is power, it's your voice Bubba, being heard. Just as they claimed the last election "overwhelmingly" beat back the neocons/republicans and sent Democrats to congress. Hahaha, good one. You spoke Bubba – and were heard. Hahahaha. The MSM ran so quick and so repetitively with the "Dems sweep elections" headlines that it had to be fool's talk masqueraded as news.

What's the Senate makeup now? Ummm, 51 and 49? Oh yea, republicans took quite a senatorial thumping. Hahahaha, yessirree Bubba, the voters spoke and made an "astonishing turnaround" in the halls of power. The House is 233 dems to 202 republicans, brought to ya by a huge, huge asswhomping voter turnout of 36 percent. How many old Craigs and Foleys did ya send this time? How many perk & pork barrel pols this time? The best and the brightest of the deviant, huh Bubba?

Simple math of why the US will not strike Iran:

1. Iran has over 1 million troops in its army, air force, and navy and the capacity to mobilize another 11 million.

2. Iran's weaponry is in good shape and up to date – unlike Saddam's rusting caches filling with sand and no replacement parts over 12 years of Anglo sanctions.

3. Iran has positive business and diplomatic ties with China, Russia, and India. US/Euro will think long and hard before challenging these giants to a world war pissing contest. Besides, the Western Anglo world has outsourced most of its manufacturing and many service jobs to China and India - disruption in business is reason enough not to attack Iran.

4. The US knows if they strike Iran millions of Iranian troops will slaughter American troops next door in Iraq. The Anglo ruling class knows, as dull-witted as Joe Mericans may be he will appropriately blame American policy makers; this type of slaughter would prompt Joes to finally rise from couches and keyboards and hang politicians from lampposts, most likely with the aid and backing of every military grunt in uniform.

Unlike the "right" which blatantly uses the terrorists are gonna getcha type fear, the "left" peddles fear of what-ifs - what the opposition party might do. Peddles foreboding, peddles dreadful predictions – it's the soft-soap blarney progressives use to herd the unwashed masses.

(Note: It's a man's world. ;) If we're headed for world war and massive reduction in population, the men gods will let a woman take the fall, i.e. Hillary.)

All your arguments against an Iranian invasion are of course correct, rational and consistent with the ideas supported by a liberal democracy.

Regrettably we don't have one handy just at present...demagogues rule OK.

I put it at 87% on the Iranarmageddonmeter at present.

I heard Mt Boltonon the news this am. Boy is he smarting. He is going to pick a fight with someone ver something and DPRK is out of it.

Shutter,
It's always been demagogues who rule. The couple of senators I've known knew by the middle of their second terms they couldnt stomach it and left DC.

Maybe Bolton will piss off China since he wants to restore US diplomatic relations with Taiwan - saying that Beijing would not retaliate.

My iranarmageddon meter is reading about a 50/50 chance now. If we pull out or back from Iraq and let Iran "fill the vacuum," while Saudi has said they will aid the other side, as arms dealers salivate at the thought of igniting a bigger fire - that's the invitation for global war, which half of the global ruling class seem to be looking forward to.

Both "left" and "right" are pumping us full of propaganda. It's like picking through elephant dung to find a mustard seed.

It really is the lesser of 2 evils and I hate that phrase.
