		<description>&lt;p&gt;I would bet that Iranian Scud missiles already have the coordinates of the Green Zone, Camp Victory, the mens room at Petraeus headquarters programmed into them.  While we would win, it could be real butchery.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
daily kos:&lt;br /&gt;
Retired general endorses Clinton, says she doesn’t oppose the Iraq war at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A retired U.S. Army general visiting [New Hampshire] to campaign for Hillary Clinton said yesterday she does not oppose the Iraq war — and she said she’s never heard Clinton oppose it, either […]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words Clinton is taking the Kerry line from 2004 that the war isn’t wrong, just run badly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s apparently the US Senate versus Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, if we can just unite the opposition.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1021950&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;raven @ 219&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are also a lot of people who think violence is the only way to start a revolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;maybe.. but i haven’t seen them protesting. not even the global justice protests - i went to the ftaa protests for a week in miami and saw a police riot, friends of mine were in seattle and told me that that there were only a few people not with the main groups that broke a couple of windows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i’ve come to the conclusion that it’s either mostly talk, or else it’s mostly police provocatures.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Knowing some of the folks who organized the 2000 and 2004 DNC/RNC protests (and the medical for them all), I’m quite confident the Denver and the RNC protests will have non-violent marches affordig all who wish to participate the opportunity to do so - non-violently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’ve learned the people who show up spouting violence are most likely cops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is why they are - non-violently - treated like cops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Identified, surrounded by non-violent folks, and talked over when they call for violence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very familiar drill.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The notion of a threat to the US is 100% complete nonsense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you see the Iranian landing boats on the beaches of Virgina, the Hamptons and Cape Cod?  And of course the beach head a Malibu and Santa Barbara.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The long march of Iranians soldiers over the rockies, down in the great plains, over the Appalachians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally American defeated and occupied by the foreign threat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We got Sadam before his Special Guards could do the magic across the 48 lower states.  We fought them there so we didn’t have to fight them here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THERE IS NO THREAT TO AMERICA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will there be mischief?  Massive mischief.  Yes and forever.  There will always be bank robberies, always be liquor store heists… random acts of violence by disgruntled individuals or groups.  This will never stop.  But it not a MILITARY threat to america.  It is a sociological problem, and a police problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America is not now nor will it be under military siege.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But we will lose our country to fascists and corporations who will control our lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s happening now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hillary:  “It was about…intelligence.  Anyway, who fed you that question?”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and now Hillary thinks she is going to get away with I voted against the war with Iran (supposedly co-sponsoring the Webb amendment) after I voted for a war with Iran (the Kyl/Lieberman amendment).  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not going to work Hillary even with that $$$ machine behind you.  Some folks would rather throw their vote away&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost inexplicably, she’s still in front.  We’ll have to fix that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
