A US "Dove" on Iran

The problem I have here is the underlying implication -- accepted, but false -- that Iran is building a bomb.

He further compounds it by pushing the propaganda of a nuclear "terrorist" event.

And that's the problem with AmeriKan "debate' on these issues: once again, NO TRUTH ALLOWED!


"Sitting down at the nuclear table with Iran" by Graham Allison | June 7, 2008

Graham Allison is director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

".... In baseball, it's three strikes and you're out. After the undeniable failure of the third Security Council resolution imposing sanctions to slow Iran's nuclear program, Bush's Iran strategists should recognize that they have struck out.

Hoping to divert attention from this record, the Bush administration has further confused the issue with exaggerated rhetorical attacks on those who advocate an alternative strategy of direct diplomacy including negotiations. Speaking to the Israeli Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's creation, Bush accused proponents of negotiations with unfriendly regimes of "appeasement." More diplomatically, but equally pointedly, in addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee this week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for another dose of the same medicine the administration has been prescribing, and sought to shift the blame to Iran, asserting that "The real question is: Why won't Tehran talk to us?"

Facts are only obliquely relevant to political debate....

That's an astounding statement, isn't it?

.... In a 2004 report titled "Iran: Now is the Time for a New Approach," Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged that "the United States deal with the current regime rather than wait for it to fall." When asked about this recommendation during recent testimony on the Hill, Gates noted that he had been "in a happier place" then.

Yeah, now he is under the direction and control of Israel!

But it is clear that Gates remains convinced that direct negotiations are imperative for solving the nuclear standoff. As he told the Academy of American Diplomacy last month, "We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage . . . and then sit down and talk with them."

Fuck the "leverage," LET'S TALK!!!!

Oh, and the propaganda part?

"sooner or later, international terrorists will get their hands on nuclear weapons and bring the security of the world . . . to an end."
FUCK THAT!!

We KNOW who "Al-CIA-Duh" is now, and we are NO LONGER FALLING for another CIA/Mossad INSIDE JOB!!!!
