Of course Toews is not off the hook by a longshot, still tho, the gobs of hysterical menz is increasingly funny.


Oh, he's not named, name him. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/rae-apologizes-after-liberal-staffer-admits-to-twitter-attacks-on-toews/article2351521/


Rae named him - Adam Carroll, LIberal researcher, did it 'independently', Rae found out last night.

Thanks HS. Remember I was complaining the other day of being called a loony left because I put forth that it's about the oil again, well one of the links within the link-

Farnham said an attack would be motivated by economic factors rather than Iran's nuclear programme.

"If a massive attack on Iran happens soon, then the attack will have political and oil reasons and not nuclear. It is also very hard to believe that the Israelis will initiate an attack unless they act as a contractor for other nations or if Iran or its proxies attack first," the email concludes.

A friend suggests they're gonna go into Iran this week or next, unless the world stops them.  Here's hoping for the world! 

[Antonia]

I don't get it.

If it's not about nukes (which it isn't) what are they gonna bomb?

Meanwhile ...

The sponsors made its intent clear: "All options must be on the table when it comes to Iran — except for one, and that is containment."  Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT)  said that "the consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be 'contained' like the threat of the Soviet Union" — or China, or North Korea, or Pakistan.

That's a dam good question, who to ask?

I don't know Berlynn, don't they have to take care of Syria first, or take out both in fell swoop?

[Berlynn]

He was speculating and I was tired.  Sorry, can't recall more right now... been up 30 hours...gonna go find me some zzzs...

[Toedancer]

Berlynn, when you wake up, you'll like this.

"Iran would be a far greater asset to America than Israel could ever be. Israel is a liability and a burden,” "More fool America for cuddling up to a ‘friend’ who has stabbed it in the back in the past - the Lavon affair, the USS Liberty incident, the Jonathan Pollard betrayal - and is more than likely to stab it in the back again at some time in the foreseeable future,” "Dump Israel. That’s my advice. Before Israel sets the world on fire, taking America with it."

Who is Dr. Lasha Darkmoon you ask? Well I wondered too. She uses a pen name because she's 'radical' and doesn't want to lose her job. http://www.darkmoon.me/about/

Just over a year ago I transcribed some of the speeches given at the Halifax International Security Forum. Here's Senator Lindsey Graham, who sits on the Budget, Armed Forces, and Homeland Security committees :

"The one thing that changes the world as I know it is Iran with a nuclear weapon. The consequences are enormous, the idea of containment to me is off the table, so that takes us back to the idea of being tough. ...

So my view of military force would be not to just neutralize their nuclear program, which would probably disperse and harden, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force, and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard.In other words, neuter that regime, destroy their ability to fight back, and hope the people within Iran would have the chance to take back their government and be good neighbours to the world in the future. So that's what I mean by being tough."

So the short answer to your question would seem to be :  people, infrastructure, army, navy, air force.

Oh. My. Another woman speaks up. This time Baroness Lady Tonge, Liberal Democrat under Nick Clegg. This is what she said - "Beware Israel," she said. "Israel is not going to be there for ever in its present form. One day, the United States of America will get sick of giving £70bn a year to Israel to support what I call America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East – that is Israel. One day, the American people are going to say to the Israel lobby in the USA: enough is enough."She added: "Israel will lose support and then they will reap what they have sown."
This is what was said about THAT - The Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel group dismissed Tonge as an "irrelevant, siren and marginal voice" and called on her to resign the party whip.
She did. But notice she wasn't asked to take back her remarks?
John Woodcock goes further trying to convince Britain they really really believe in a two-state solution *snort*.

If you look at her pic closely you'll see she's using her fingers to display the measurement of Woodcock's dick. Hee.
