&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fineman: Intel Community To Release ‘Three Iran Reports’ To ‘Slow Down’ Bush’s Warmongering&lt;br /&gt;
On the Chris Matthews Show today, NBC’s Howard Fineman revealed that the intelligence community will release “three different reports” in upcoming weeks to “slow down” the administration’s current drumbeat for war with Iran:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The intelligence community over the next few months is going to come out with three different reports on Iran about internal political problems of Iran, about the economy, and about their nuclear capability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those are going to be key to decide what the Bush administration is going to do, and it’s the intelligence community &lt;b&gt;I think trying to slow down what the president, most particularly the vice president, want to do in Iran.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HOLY CROW!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE CIA IS GONNA DO WHAT CONGRESS REFUSES TO DO;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;protect our republic and put PULL THE REIGNS IN ON THE WAR MONGUERING UNITARY EXECUTIVE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;man, I would love to see what larry johnson has to say&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Brits just released a report that the “War on Terror” actually increased Al Qaeda’s ability to recruit; and that the Iraq War exponentially increased their ability to train for terror attacks. Nothing new there that hasn’t already been disclosed in released US National Intelligence Estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what was chilling was that any attack on IRAN would be a boon to Al Qaeda; even to the point of creating an “unnatural alliance” between IRAN and the Salafist Sunnis. They demonstrate that such an “alliance” occurred between secularist nationalist Iraqi’s (Baathists) and Al Qaeda after the US invasion…and that an operational linkage would likely emerge if the US attacked Iran. In addition, Muslims worldwide would see any attack as yet more complete evidence that the US wanted to destroy Islam and Muslims. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report recommended that the British government discourage the US from any such agressive moves and work to defuse tensions between Iran and the West,in addition to undertaking a ten-year effort to correct the errors in the current “War On Terror” stategy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah.  These fucking assholes, showing “support” for the troops, by wearing a goddamn LAPEL PIN, while helping to keep them in the middle of operation Enduring Clusterfuck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What bravehearts they are, with 3800 of our troops dead in Iraq; $2.5 billion a week being pissed down the drain, and, AS EVER, no fucking end in sight, while THEY spew patriot-jizz all over the MSM.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;     Thank you, you cowardly, denial-queens.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;  The NYDailyNews does a whole piece on the manufactured qualiy of outrage, and the fact that in a free country we ought to be free to choose whether or not we wear or not some pin on our lapels.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Probably very few of you are aware of Bush, Cheney and others in this rotted administration wear a very special flag lapel pin, one of the alternative, subversive, traitorous “secret” government that is responsible for the pillage of the US Treasury.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What does this flag look like?  It’s an ordinary American flag with a big red star in the middle of the “stripe” field, an oddly “soviet” banner that one could imagine the villians in “Red Dawn” wearing as they paraded around their occupied territory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep your eye out for it and you’ll see that I’m not imagining it…Cheney was the first one I noticed wearing it (he probably designed it and keeps the prototype in his man-sized office safe) and suddenly, all kinds of Bushies were showning their “patriotism” to something other than “The United States of America”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who knows, maybe Russert will ask one of them why they wear an intentionally defaced American flag on their lapel?  Nahhh.  Not gonna happen, is it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1019845&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oklahoma kiddo @ 32&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love it when Rove keeps hammering Edwards on his haircuts. This from the king of the dirty tricksters trying to get Republicans re-elected in 2008. The Republican Party. The no-tax and spend, spend, spend party. At least Mr. Edwards is spending his own money. The GOP is spending our money. Wildly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any talk of Edwards’ $400 haircut should be met with - “at least he didnt spend $400 billion on an unnecessary, illegal war.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That puts it in perspective very simply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder if Obama feels okay with just waiting for Iowa, knowing that leaves the Left of Hillary splintered. What’s in it for him?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Repeat after me: Obama is clearly not a viable candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the temporary surge of attention Hillary’s getting wears off will the public realize she’s nothing but a big pastry, all pretty on the outside, but just full of hot air?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proposed new rule for commenting on any aspect of American life:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was this covered in OFFICE SPACE?  If so, carefully consider whether your viewpoint is similar to that of any authority figure in the film.  Carefully consider.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mmmmm, okaaaay&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LOL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it sensible that a ‘cult’ film should become a roadmap for our whole society? Is there any way to avoid it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Probably also why they so want and need morality laws.. they weren’t brought up to develop will power and a positive self image, so they wantsomeone to tell them no and make the punishment bad enough they won’t do it.  They have spent all their lives learning to be unworthy and needing to pray and wait for some mythical being to do things instead of taking the initiative and making their life better.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think the issues appeals to right wing people who are limited thinkers. It is like the image of lady who can be old and young.. or the 2 profiles and the vase.  They either can’t or don’t want to see the image where someone can put the pin on or wave the flag and not be patriotic… what they can only see is the fact that someone who could put it on or wave has choosen NOT TO.. hence they are unpatriotic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is probably why the ‘left’ and the ‘right’ look at the same ‘reality’ and see different things. In this case we have a political base who are so into Rapture and miracles and obeyance and unworthiness that is gives us those freaks who are Bush’s supporters.   Probably also a reason the Red States have such a high rate of divorce, adultery, drunkenness and sexual perversity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
