CNN

Feargate Part Deux.
I do not for one minute believe that even Iran is suicidal. Because any nuclear attack any any country would be a planet killer. Either by us or them. There can be no peace on earth without tolerance and diplomacy. Ever. No peace has ever been won by war. Only madmen would even suggest such a thing. Iran has threatened no one. Iraq did not have WMD. We were lied to and will be lied to again by the GOP. They are beyond corrupt.
Do not be fooled by them.

Anyone else think it's odd that this is on the Political Ticker instead of being filed under ordinary world news?

Oh, that's right: Fearmongering is the cornerstone of Republican campaign strategy since the turn of the century, so of *course* this is a political topic. Nice job being a right-wing shill, CNN!

vote mccain...he'll make everyone feel safe by bombing iran and giving us IRAQ 2: The Sequel.

Since they found these computers two years ago, the timing of this report smells like fear-mongering propaganda meant to provide another "reason" for invading Iran...Deja vu, anyone?

Forcing your hand down the throat of the so-called enemy has not worked this far. It would be smart to do as Obama urges to do, Talk with an open mind, with no pre-conditions, as in: Here is some money for your countries trouble, now can we play in your backyard and scope out your wardrobe? That type of politicing went out the window when we ignored Iran during the Regan era. Too much money, oil and power are involved now to try and play MY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY like Bush and McCain think works.

NEWS FLASH:

A recent Communist News Network poll states "10 out of 10 Idiots support Obama for President"

Hell, it's a done deal. See the nice note below:

My fellow Americans:

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moammar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency, after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr., and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.

And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember, don't think, just do. And do it for me.

Thank You.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

To "Old White Woman":

To your point about Iran not invading anybody, just give it a couple of years. Iran is going to continue its efforts to make Iraq more Shiia, and when there is sufficient groundswell will basically make its move to "unify" the two countries, with the result being an even larger dictatorship (and one with the explicit goal of destroying Israel) than exists now. Put go ahead and continue to put the U.S. in the role of the bad guy...that's so very FASHIONABLE with you Obama supporters.

From "Obama Knows Best":

"A peaceful talk by Obama should bring everyone around to his way of thinking".

HERE IN A NUTSHELL is the essence of so many concerns around Obama, namely that many of his supporters are so blindly naive that they believe he will fix everything, that he knows best, etc. I like the man and many of his messages, but frankly to think what's in quotes above is errant nonsense at best, and deadly naivete at worst.

Are you REALLY thinking that Obama will be able to influence Iran, North Korea, etc.?? Seriously? Folks, they're not gullible and they're not dying to get the "message" the same way you are. Simply put, they aren't so easily spellbound as the majority of you are, and Obama will NOT repeat NOT convince them.

Don't get me wrong; I'm all for negotiation when feasible, but I also am savvy enough to understand that attitudes that are completely entrenched and inviolate are VERY unlikely to be changed by someone so green as Obama, regardless of how enchanted his current supporters are.

WHEN ARE ALL OF YOU DEMS AND REPUBLICANS GOING TO REALISE THIS IS A HOLY WAR. ITS ABOUT RELIGON. WE CANT WIN IT, AND WE CANT STOP THEM FROM HATING EACHOTHER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS PEOPLE. MCCAIN IS NOT GONNA FIX IT AND OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT. WHAT BOTH LACK IS THE UNDERSTANDING OF IT. WE CANT LET NUKES GET IN THE HANDS OF COUNTRIES THAT HATE ONE ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS GROUP PERIOD. WE NEED TO DISBAN ALL NUKES INCLUDING OUR OWN. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.

Valerie Plame's job at the CIA was in nuclear weapons anti-proliferation. After Cheney and Bush illegally outed her , how many of her contacts were exposed and killed? How many Tinner-type deals went through because of this? There are many high ranking Republican officials who are likely guilty of treason. It digusts me that so many right-wingers don't get this. They would rather respond to this story by saying how terrfied they are of that skinny black Democrat with the big ears. Republicans will always place Party before Country... traitors to the last man.

Stop the fear mongering. Get to the negotiating table. We need Obama's aggressive negotiation and diplomatic skills right now.

Why is more attention not focused on Pakistan? The sabors are rattling against Iran regarding a future nuclear situation. Pakistan has the bomb right now. Pakistan is also giving safe haven to the most wanted terrorists in the world, al Quaida.

All Americans must demand to know what is happening here.

If the Bush Administration is so sure of this information, why didn't they announce it earlier to make their case? Don't they need some solid reasons to clamp down on Iran? Why aren't they pressuring Switzerland and Pakistan to make the Tinners and Khan talk?

Is this a calculated leak to set up for attacking Iran?

Why you telling me this? SO i can vote for mccain, who helped us put in the biggest hole in recent history. NO! your fearmongering days are over, time for change and hope and a better america than the last 8 yrs.

CNN, please explain to me how this is a "Political Ticker" story.

Got to keep the fear going, right?

Nothing Saddam was interested in though.....

Nia AZ /Your nightmare sceneario true for me and many others OMG we can't let this happen .

This Obama movement for his election will be the laggest ,greatest ever observed in American history .
CHANGE we can believe in .
its Oh "Yes We Can all tjhe way to the Oval Office .
OBAMA 2008/20012

Its Down/out with Mc Looser

The 'genie' once out of the bottle is a little hard to put back in!! Not IF but WHEN!!

Why is it the public, by and large, has never heard of the A.Q. Kahn network? Much the same way Americans had scarcely heard of Al Quaida before 9/11? I'm curious if this is the cart before the horse, or the horse, meaning are we drumming up support for an attack against Iran, or are we only now beginning to see 'leaks' of what the government has known, but trying to keep from saying publicly for a year or so? I've said before, whatever election year monday morning quarterbacks feel about W, there has not been another attack on US soil under his watch... the man was a moderate like his dad (Quayle was the conservative on the Bush Sr. ticket), with Democrat Bob Bullock as his mentor in Texas, before running for president... would it have been a totally different presidency without 9/11? We will never know, just like Clinton's supporters have always suggested that Bill could have been so much more had it not been for the Lewinsky affair. And if Hillary hadn't alienated so many people over the years, she might still be running... woulda, coulda, shoulda... the bottomline is Iraq had eight years under the Clintons to hide whatever armaments in the sand, like kitty litter, and you can bet Americans are just now being told of trouble on the horizon, aside from election year politics, we're probably in more danger, perhaps imminent danger than we know. It's not fear-mongering... it's a warning like telling Americans, the rest of the world is paying twice what we do at the pumps, get ready it's coming!

OBAMA is very smart and Intelligent in the position he has taken on US foreign policy w.r.t t-e-r-r-o-r-i-s-t States like Iran, N.K and Venezuela. Look at what are the consequences of taking a constantly belligerent hawkish stance ( "...Comply or else .."). We alienated even our allies due to Iraq war. Iraq became a very costly war (Lives, economy and lost respect) but the largest recruiting drive for the t-e-r-r-o-r-i-s-t-s. They are waging a w-a-r of attrition against us. It is as simple as this: Arm a man who has no future and he will turn into a t-e-r-r-o-r-i-s-t, but give him a farm and he will turn into a simple farmer. The Iraq war turned many Loving Fathers and Sons into vengeful bad guys.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Kinda sounds like the same crap that was coming out just before the war with Iraq and their "WMD'S" From what I remember, that was just political propoganda stuffed down our throats by the GOP to scare us into the war.

Well, good thing our military is in such good shape in case something does happen, I mean, I would hate for our military to be fatigued if they were looking at going to war in another country.

This is most poorly reported news story I've read today. Did Roberts try to check his source's "facts"? This is a big story and this is all he has? No government officials? I think nuclear prolifferation is a real issue. Maybe it should be treated more with journalistic profesionalism than a crappy high-school newspaper.

And so it begins....by September of this year, we will see the terror alert level increase to orange for the first time, well, since the last election.

These scare stories are pathetic. Just as all of the commenters distorting Obama's positions on foreign policy. That's OK people. Keep your head in the sand, and hope the same policies we've had the past 7 years magically make us safer. Don't hold the GOP accountable for anything. McCain must be different (Sarcasitic Inference for those of you who may misunderstand the snark).

What would we do if Canada had done as we and Israel had done? Think about it. Iran has not invaded anybody as we and Israel do. Iran only talks. And this stupid President we have cannot take Bagdad, so how in the heck could he take Iran? Without doing so much more harm to the Middle East? I cannot wait until we give some integrity to my United States.

I saw a recent poll that said 10 out of 10 idiots endorse Obama!!

Came from a source as reliable as the Liberal Media so it must be gospel. Oh and perhaps his thank you note looks like this:

My fellow Americans:

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

My nightmare sceneario would be to hear news that Obama has made Hillary his VP selection**Que dramatic music and screams**

A.Q. Khan should be questioned throughly by CIA. Pakistan is more of a terrorist producing nation than a partner in fighting terrorism.

maybe without all the 'secrets' kept from the public,we can form a united decision on how to deal with nuclear proliferators.

Of course they are persuing such technology.
The only troubling thing is that to this very day most people deny that Iran's neighbor to the south was not interested in doing the same. Go figure...

Avoid the trauma, stop Obama!

We must keep these nutjobs from getting nuclear weapons. If economics and politics don't work we have the military capability to do it if we have the will to use it! We must not give them gifts hoping they will stop or ignore the issue!

I have always wondered on the integrity and the journalist ethics of this John Roberts guy... He should just report the news and avoid making them. He is a Canadian anyway; so why is he injecting himself into our politics? He even just became a US citizen... He has no viable clue of most of the news he makes. If there were more journalist like Tim Russert, John King, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper etc.. The will be fewer like him- John Robert.

Not a problem. BHO will call a meeting of all the terrorist nations and "convince" them of the evil of their ways. His smooth line works with all the Obamatrons. Why won't it work with those naughty terrorists who want us destroyed? Rest easy America, smooth talker is on the way.

I'm so scared right now so I should vote for McBush, right?

Fear worked in the last two elections, why not this one?

"..and the country is stronger for it.."

Look, if you believe some "DemocRATS"; We can talk, with them; they don't want to hurt us.........Therefore, what do we have to fear from them! Liars.................................................................................

If all of this is true then we need a Man in the oval office that hasn't lost his Bearings. I'm tired of this your a war vet so I should kiss your feet and never talk bad about you. John McCain is out of touch and should not be anywhere near the red button. We need a person with Judgement. I don't care what anyone thinks you can't prepare to be President even Bill Clinton said that. You need to have good judgement, integrity, truthfullness, and the courage to make the undesirable decision. OBAMA scores on all of these McCain on 2 tops. Case in point a gas tax holiday which we all know is a pander. Do you want someone in the white house that doesn't have the you know what to tell you the truth? I don't and we know what it is like to have one of those in the white house. we have one now.

We need to negotiate, not bomb. If someone with with the capacity to make nukes is attacked, they will try to strike back. As a New Yorker, I think that 'Cowboy Diplomacy' is terrible.

This is the problem with 3rd World nations having nuclear capability. They can't control it and their governments are too volatile.

What's been lost in all this partisanship, is the silent role Pakistan and its agents have played in proliferating nuclear technology far and wide. As long as the US turns (and has historically turned) a blind eye to Pakistan being a training ground and haven for terrorists, you cannot cut off the problem at the source.

Obama's "shocking" comments about taking Pakistan to task , if it did not play nicely was railed at by many – but he accurately captures what every country in the South Asian region already knows and has been screaming hoarse over the past decade.

Just because Pakistan is an ally, means it is above reproach? Or does it now have cover to do what it wants knowing it will never be taken to task?

Obama will create the perfect opportunity for the next war – a weak United States.

Obama is going to talk to the worlds dictators and make everything all better with his diplomatic expertise. LOL
His experience in dealing with the leaders is..... Well sorry I cant answer that one.
His foreign policy resume is...... No answer to that one eithier.

HOW IN THE H ARE WE SUPPOSED TO THINK THAT OBAMA CAN DEAL WITH ANY OF THIS?

HE CANNOT EVEN SOLVE A SMALL CRISIS LIKE HIS CHURCH OF 20 YEARS WITHOUT STUMBLING OVER AND OVER?

WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I DO NOT WANT THIS FOOL IN CHARGE OF MY COUNTRY!
I WOULD RATHER SEE McCAIN GET IT!!!!!!!

This is the very reason I will NEVER vote for Barack Hussein Obama.
We need someone who is competent and ready to lead this great nation in such uncertain times. I would not feel comfortable with Bambi in that office.

Flat Out.

praying for a miracle: what will put our country at risk is having a trigger happy president who sing bomb, bomb, iran. Your are right than americans need to wak up because experience does not equate competency and judgement. With all of the experience we have in congress, most of them voted to authorize the war in iraq. Only a few voted no because they questioned the unreliabie facts. exprience is not that important if someone lacks judgement and cannot maintan an objective view point as well as believes his opnion is correct while others are wrong.

Yea, at a time when we are most vulnerable to attacks from other countries, Obama wants to get rid of all our nukes and downsize the military. Who's side is he really on???

Wait, WMDs?! Oh no!! There's a possibility of plans for WMDs in Iran and N. Korea?

Haven't we heard this plotline before?

Obama is the Messiah... trust in him... sheep follow your shepherd

I have to agree with Farrell in Houston, Texas, it is readily apparent that some of you haven’t a clue as to what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with Obama or McCain this has to do with nuclear weapons, how many remember the cold war? Iran has made statements saying he will wipe out Israel and for the world to prepare for a day when the US doesn't exist anymore. To some people on this blog, this may be just a game to play but nuclear weapons are not a game, big or small. Some of you can cry about fear mongering all you want but understand one thing. If Iran uses a nuclear weapon against Israel it is all over folks, the US will respond in kind which will lead Russia to respond to an attack on Iran, its ally. This is not a game, I suggest some of you pull your heads out of the clouds and look at the big picture here.

Understand, if Iran acquires nuclear weapons and uses them on us or Israel the game is over, humanity could very well render itself extinct. Is this clear enough for some of the idiots out there who want to make this some political game?

Iran today is more powerful than before the US invaded Iraq! this is of our own doing, every action, has a reaction. We need to go pact to the days of FDR & JKF, and Churchill... Not BUSHISM, for the worlds sake.

YES WE WILL

DEMS O8

TO ALL PERPERTRATORS: STOP TRYING TO CATEGORIZE US AS RED STATES, BLUE STATES, AND PURPLE STATES.

I have respec for MCCain but no he can't

It is issues... such as these... that caused me to vote for the VERY BEST AND MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE- HILLARY CLINTON.

It was racial concerns, and pandering to the youth vote, and being impressed with words... that got us the poor choices we now have.

McCain over Obama.

"How I stop worrying and love the bomb".

Dr. Strange Love

Stanley K

See the movie!

No problem! Obama is going to talk with Iran!

Problem solved, they will listen up and see how they've been behaving like a bunch of bitter racists and stop defending themselves.

McCain 08

A peaceful talk by Obama should bring everyone around to his way of thinking. Just DON'T parse his words.

The media can help by embellishing the merits of his speech. ALL other Nations can be brought in line just by screaming at them that they are nothing but ignorant, stupid, uneducated, redneck moronic racists if they don't do what the GREAT Obama demands.

That is how it was done- with good results- in the democratic primary.

Agree with Obama or ELSE!!!!!

it is not fear mongering, it is a reality. How can be some of Americans this ostrich stupid? Let's stick our heads in sand -and nothing will happen to us. YEs, right.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here we go again Obama insulting the voters of Ohio and Florida. He does not need them..."I can win wiithout you" Voters everywhere listen and you decide.

I Wonder How Mccain Will Use This To Try And Scare The American People Into Voting For Him!

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand and when obama is elected president things will move even closer to the end of time as we know it So people just need to pick up the word of God read what it says It has stood the test of time and read the prphets had to say and read rev.I know call me a nut but Let God be God and every word i say atnd on His word. To many people are asleep in the dark when all HELL literal ios going to break lose sure glad i wont have to be here to see it.

You have my e-mail address CNN, please reply..

Rogue Nations?

What about rogue politics, where the least qualified candidate can use dirty politics and the race card to eliminate the MOST qualified out of the race?

I am more concerned about the Rogue Democratic Party... where the corrupt leftist leaders can force one candidate out of the race, and can treat her with so much disrespect.

Bring Democracy back to democratic primaries... then worry about the threat to liberty and freedom imposed by others.

As long as the West threatens Iran, they will not have their cooperation. This 'carrot and stick" diplomacy is a joke. As long as the United States is in the frontline of attack, the Iranians are obligated to their people to reject whatever comes out of the West.

The Iranian government cannot be seen as bowing to pressure from the United States among its people.

If a country like Switzerland takes charge, then may be everyone can save face.

Bush's Cowboy Diplomacy has gotten us into this mess in the first place, and more of the same will result to the same: A STANDOFF.

I usually do not post comments but this annoys me. Anyone who has done any study of nuclear science in college should be able to tell that 1) Iran is at least 5-10 years from making a bomb, at best.

To be continued because CNN will not post the whole thing!

Mccain Is Licking His Chops Already!

The true Nightmare Scenario is having McCain as our president and him starting up the draft.

This Is The Type Of News That Will Give Mccain A Speech About Why We Need To Attack Iran!

I fully believe that Obama has all the qualifications, the necessary experience and the judgement to resolve all conflicts.

TEE HEE HEE.

Obama can't even choose his friends wisely, has absolutely no qualification for president unless being Black counts, and has a track record of having done absolutely nothing for his country.

Good luck, Obama worshippers.

Do you think that the American people will wake up in time, before we elect an unqualified candidate for president and place our nation at risk?

Don't fear monger... unless you try to bully HRC supporters with concerns about the war or Roe vs Wade or a conservative Supreme Court.

THEN fear mongering to force the vote to Obama is okay.

Otherwise, just lets all dream peace and unity... while hating and attacking all those who dare to disagree.

That is the Obama way. Make sure your vote speaks in Nov... it wasn't counted in the democratic primary.

Why isn't this bigger news today? This seems pretty important and could explain a lot.

AS WITH ALL ROGUES AND TERRORISTS AND SUCH IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A NUCLEAR ATTACT TAKES PLACE. WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE. LOGIC DICTATES THAT AS WITH THE ATTACKS ON THW WTC, SUCH AN ATTACK WILL COME OUT OF THE BLUE. THEY USUALLY DO ELSE THEYD BE STOPPED. WITH NO REAL FORM OF DISCOURAGEMENT WE CAN ONLY WAIT TILL IT HAPPENS THEN DEAL WITH IT. OBAMA SAYS TALK TO THEM, BUSH SAYS KILL THEM FIRST, AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT JONJON MCMCAIN WOULD DO. REALISTICALLY SPEAKING IF THESE ATTACKS DONT CARRY WITH THEM A REALISTIC FEAR OF RETRIBUTION AFTER REASONABLE DIALOGUE HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED, THEY WILL BECOME MORE THRILL KILLINGS THAN RELIGIOUS OR IDEALOGICAL ACTS. ITS HARD TO TELL IRAN AND OTHERS THEY CANT HAVE NUKES WHEN YOU HAVE THEM. ITS NOT SO HARD TO DEAL THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO WONT REASON AND USE THEM IN ANGER. REMEMBER THE ONLY THING RUSSIA FEARED WAS A LIKE RESPONSE IE MUTUAL DESTRUCTION. TERRORISTS KILL TO GET TO HEAVEN. DYING IS A MEANS TO AN END. TALK IS CHEAP BUT A LOADED GUN IS FOR REAL. WALK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BIG, PREFERABLY RADIOACTIVE, STICK.
GOD HELP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

Write in Hillary Clinton.....

Or continue to bow before the phantom of the Oprah.

Choice is yours... after all the DNC swiftboated their best candidate to force feed you their pandering, lying hypocrit.

Why? Well the young- who have never cared enough or were too selfish to vote before- demanded it.
And... it was more politically correct to go Black than female.

Look at how no criticism of Obama was tolerated, without someone screaming "RACIST"...but HRC, well she was fair game.

Give me a leader that I can criticize any day, over the perfect Supreme Ruler that is above everyone and beyond critique.

I am McShame. I will go and bomb IRAN. We all will have a peaceful future... Vote for me, sit back and relax. Let us wipe those middle eastern, arabic speaking morons from the face of the earth.

Mc Shame 2008.

And Barack Hussein Obama thinks talking with these people over a cup of coffee and no conditions will solve the problem.

Tejano – You're a fool if you think Obama is YOUR WORST nightmare! Ha! ha! Your comment is truly laughable Obama IS going to be the next President. But don't you worry, we don't need folks like you who are nothing but negative and scared of change. YOU can stay with McBUSH all you want.... I'm sure McGrampy loves to see people like you coming his way.

I GUESS BUSH & MCBUS HAVE NEVER HEARD

OR READ ABOUT MILITARY STRATEGY. THAT

CAN EASILY EXPLAIN THEIR MANY YEARS OF

UTTER FAILURE & MCBUSHE'S NEED TO

STAY THERE FOR A 100 YEARS. IRAQ IS A 1000 TIMES

WORSE & MORE DANGEROUS NOW THAN BEFORE

WE ATTACKED THEM.

NO THE REAL NIGHTMARE HAS BEEN THE LAST 7 1/2 YEARS UNDER THIS PRESIDENT

Hillary Clinton wouldn't know this information because she doesn't read reports.

McCain can't remember reading it.

Where is Hillary?

I would be a lot less concerned knowing someone with her intelligence and judgement and experience was leading us.

Obama... not so much... just a pandering hypocritical manipulator.

McCain?... well at least he is not a flip flopping master manipulator. I'll take honesty over fraud any day.

This is the real harm that the Iraq war has brought us. We have taken our eyes off the ball for so long that all these other threats have popped up.

We must affix a hard deadline for Iraq withdrawal so we can refocus on 1) Finding Osama Bin Ladin and bringing him to justice. 2) Refocusing on all our economic problems and energy crisis. 3) Preparing to meet these new threats from a diplomatic position of strength and moral authority, which has eroded over the past 10 years.

Obama has the vision, the team, and the judgment to meet these tasks better than anyone else on the ballot.

Tejano, get some sleeping pills to help you sleep through your nightmares of having a black president because he will win.

The real nightmare should be the thought of facing 4 more years of George Bush's policies where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. The thought of our troops being killed in a war that should have never been authorized should have the entire country having nightmares. Also the thought of electing a president that admits to having little knowledge about the economy should send chills up the spines of many. The same way he will have to hire an economist, then if necessary, Obama can hire people to enhance his national security issues. It is clear that he had better judgment than McCain and Clinton.

Hillary Clinton really gave the GOP some negative attacks ads to run against her own party this fall. They didn't work for her and they won't work for McCain.

Obama 08

Charismatic politicians who command large rallies of adoring followers are not always what they appear to be.

I'm not at all worried.

I am voting for Obama-
no qualifications
no experience
flip flopper on the issues
and has never done anything for his country.

But I believe that he can manipulate and lie and spin his way out of any threatening situation.

Reality does not matter when you have the MASTER of controlling your perception of the reality, at the helm.

I fear having McCain as president because it will be a far worst than it currently is.

The minituraization technology required to put a nuclear dievice into a sophisticated missle system has long been a monopoly of more advaned nations. This is indeed a scary scenario, because if they perfect this technology they can build rockets capable of reaching the United States, and frankly this glorious missle shielf is not worth a single cent being spent on it.

The next President must be willing to talk to these countries but at the same time have the grit and determination to hold them accountable if they choose to move forward. I do believe Obama can do it and will do it if necessary. He needs to show this country he more than just talk.

No need to worry. Obama will immediately consult the United Nations, which will send a strongly worded letter of disapproval to the bad guys, and that should take care of the matter.

Wait but the Desm tell us neither NK or Iran are building nukes, they are only working on peaceful power production systems. Well even if they aer working on Nuke I'm sure Obama can talk them out of it...I mean he is the next coming..isn't he?

Tejano, if you are going to make a statement like that, why don't you back it up with facts? Obviously, you republicans do not like to bother addressing those from what I see here on the blogs. Or maybe you just do not have any facts to back up what you say.

I'm so looking forward to Novemeber I can taste it.

Democrats 08!

Just vote for Obama-

He is the ONE.

He will unite the world with his inspirational messages of hope...all the while stabbing people in the back.

Surely after a chat with Obama, Iran and other terrorisats will give up their nuclear ambitions and sit down with isreal for some lox and bagles. After all, he has such a HUGE record of diplomatic accomplishments. For example there was the time when....er. Then again how about the time he....hmmm. Give me a few months, I'll think of something he's done. But he is the change for hope, or is it the hope for change?

Tejano

We have been living in a nightmare for the last eight years. It is going to end pretty soon.

Did'nt our great ally (Pakistan) tell us nothing like this happened and the POTUS took him at his word ? Why should such an incompetent lot of people be given a third term ?

the answer is not just by force but also talks.

it is a delicate balance that the idiots (bush, rice, cheney, rumsfeld and mccain) knows nothing about. instead of use various means to fix the problem, they rather just bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. right? mcdumb.

Obama will bring UNITY and PEACE to the world... just like he did to the once unified Democratic party.

See how he united the democrats?

Have you any further doubts about this boastful arrogant braggart?

Just vote for the great Obama.

He will talk the world out of all their challenges and problems.

He has spoken and said that he will make the lion lie down with the lambs.

What else do you need to believe that HE is the ONE?

WE WILL ALWAYS BE AT WAR AS LONG AS WE ELECT

MORONS LIKE MCBIGOT WHO GOES AROUND

SAYING BOMB,BOMB. OUR LONG TERM SECURITY

WILL BE GOTTEN BY AN INTELLIGENT PRESIDENTS,

NOT WILLFUL IGNORANT MORONS LIKE MCBIGOT,

WHO GOES AROUND THREATENING OTHER NATIONS.

AS WE HAVE SEEN, THAT KIND OF THOUGHTLESS

AGGRESSION HAS NOT ONLY MADE US & OTHERS

LES SAFE, BUT MORE BROKE.

Rave, how exactly is he going to do all this? He never tells us. It's almost like he doesn't have a plan at all, just empty words.

I am sure the liberals think this is just a scare tactic...... This is why we cant have a liberal President. Did we not learn anything from the Clinton years. The liberal philosphy of apeasement and turn the other cheek will no longer work.

Anyone But Obama and his b-a-b-y-'-s m-o-m-m-a

"Tejano" you are a GOP fearmongering surrogate! I hope you get drafted, should there be another war! No matter all the crap you guys are putting out, you will NEVER succeed this time around because voters are tired of all your lies and fearmongering! Go get some medication, it is full moon you surely need it Tejano and co!

the true nightmare scenario.....is how incredibly naive and gullible the US populace is when it comes to the irrational fear of Iran...Saudis killed 3300 of us on 9/11...Iran killed 0

I am sure the liberals think this is just a scare tactic...... This is why we cant have a liberal President. Did we not learn anything from the Clinton years. The liberal philosphy of apeasement and turn the other cheek will no longer work.

Anyone But Obama

The ignorant will always be among us. Read the whole article before indulging in comments that have nothing to do with your personal attacks.

The true Nightmare Scenario would be having McWar's finger on the button!

To Rave,
Will he be as good as Clinton was......HAHAHAHA

Don't worry.... Obama will just talk them out of it.

His arrogance is superceded only by how self-important and self-impressed he is.

READ HIS BOOK.

It shows you how early in life Obama learned how to manipulate public opinion and people's behavior

LIES from a news channel. just wonder who is foolish enough to read and believe this BS spread around by zionist Israeli lobby + there boot licking American counter-parts....its a pity that a great nation such as the USA gives in to these destroyers of peace in the world....

Telll me whats wrong with IRan having nuclear weapons to ensure its security with the US & Israel just looking for anything to start a conflict which btw both would be rather served better not to go ahead with?

and if u tell me something that involves "wiping of the map" than you i'm afraid and those propogandist have something in common....

I am sure the liberals think this is just a scare tactic...... This is why we cant have a liberal President. Did we not learn anything from the Clinton years. The liberal philosphy of apeasement and turn the other cheek will no longer work.

Anyone But Obama and his baby's momma

Tejano
Do the republicans have you guys sit around and put something in every post, regardless of what it is about?

NO BUSH THIRD TERM, thanks. It's the Bush and GOP "tax and war" approach to government that has added to this mess in the first place. Isn't it funny how they talk about "smaller government" because you morons are stupid enough to believe it and then they grow the government, grow war, and grow the deficit?

Stupid GOP sheep.

Bomb them all out of existence!
That should surely solve the problem.
- President McBush.

TO TEJANO...

THE REAL FEAR IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO HAVE ONE NEGATIVE OPINIONS...KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF....

OBAMA '08

Personally? I say let them all have bombs and nuke themselves into the next millennium. Who made the US the world's police? If Iran and Pakistan and all the 'stans get weapons, then it will be up to those living next to Israel to make sure the weapon's don't get deployed, don't you think?

Let Egypt and Saudi Arabia and the others spend their billions policing that part of the world. It's in their interest to do so.

Pakistan has had nukes for a LONG time – which is why we should have been aggressively neutralizing the extremists in Afghanistan and the hills of Pakistan!

No! Instead we're messing around in Iraq...

The extremists with nukes are in Pakistan – Pakistan is an unstable nation and has experienced a military coup at the hands of Musharraf... But let's keep shaking hands with him while he allows terrorists to take over and intimidate...

America needs to wake up!!!

WE & THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL NEVER

BE SAFE OR SECURE UNTIL WE BRING THE

REST OF THE WORLD TO THE TABLE. WE THOUGHT

WE HAD INVENTED THE SECURITY OF ALL TIME,

WHEN WE INVENTED NUCLEAR WEAPONS ( THE BOMB)

GUESS WHAT? OTHER NATIONS HAVE THE "BOMB" NOW".

IT'S TREATIES & AGREEMENTS BETWEEN NATIONS THAT

LEAD TO SECURITY & PEACE. TALKING TO THEM, WHICH

THIS NIGHTMARE ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT BEEN WILLING

TO DO, LEADS TO MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING & PEACE.

The true Nighmare Scenario is having Obama as our next president.

Obama is young and strong and his mind is sharp.He will have his best commanders at the ready to repel all enemies,at home or abroad.Yes commanders we can believe,not talking-head yes men.Obama is the man to keep us safe and respected around the globe.

this is what happens when we put our resources to a country that had nothing to do with 911 (iraq) instead of going after the real terrorists. it should not be a surpirse that countries likes North Korea and Iran are developing nuclear weapons. since we have been ignoring countries that harbor real terrrorits or may become potential threats, this administration decided to invade Iraq. this administration kept his eye off the ball and it led to dire consequences. It amazes me that despite the fact that the gop has continually lied to us about the reason for going to war and is responsible for sending our troops to a death trap, people are considering to vote for this party. it is unreal. they should all be in jail for war crimes.

I always thought the real hurdle to making Nukes was the construction of the sophisticated trigger mechanism, and building a rocket that did not vibrate it apart or out of alignment before reaching its destination.

What is this? Fearmongering?

Ask youselves this, people?

Are you "safer off" today than you were 8 years ago?

Interesting where the technology is coming from, and what the presumptive candidates are saying where the real problems are. What they each claim should be America's, and the world's focus?

Allbright is the same guy who just made it out of Iraq, without only a couple of hours to spare, before the Bush started "Shock and Awe". Don't forget.

The war was started because inspectors kept coming up empty for years. Saddam was tired of the endless inspections. He claimed that he had nothing, and was expressing unwillingness to allow future inspections. Then, the US revealed or rather claimed evidence of violations. But, inspectors were on the ground when the first bombers actually took off for Baghdad.

OBAMA is the only hope... He will stop the unnecessary wars and go after people and countries who really sponsor terrorism. He will eliminate any strong roots of terrorists and try to solve problems at the root level. Not create new roots like this government is doing for past 6 years or so.
Start thinking with your brains.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

No problem. Obama said that Iran, N. Korea, Venezuela, etc. are not significant threats. So we can all go back to watching Oprah.

We can't deter, and we won't deter. And the issue is not whether Pakistan or Iran have nukes–they won't use them on the US (Israel, maybe) but even then, they can be deterred. It is when they allow terrorists to act as their proxies. Even appeasement will not help; only if we throw Israel under the bus will we be able to truly appease radical islamists.

Until that happens, I will not work or live in any major US city (esp. NYC), nor let my family do so. The threat is very real, and the police state required to deter it effectively would be unpalatable to americans, particularly those on the left.

Call me a knuckle-dragging Republican, neocon, whatever, if you like, but I will be happy to debate this with anyone, anywhere. I have studied these issues as an undergraduate, and have two more related graduate degrees since then.

Besides, I am not worried. I am outside the blast radius and fallout plumes, and have investment hedges in place.

I would suggest to ignore Iran, but that might be too costly.

Perhaps peaceful talks are in order?

People saying Obama has no judgement.

What a joke, this from people that thought Iraq was going to be an easy deal.

Just go away, OK.

McCain? Oh please, he belongs in a nut house.

Shhhh.....democrats don't think terrorists exist, they think Bush invents them so we can invade countries so we can have cheap gas.

Is if we continue to keep playing in their house without their permission.

Iraq, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and every other country (140 in all) where we have military bases is not part of the United States.

Bring the troops home and lets focus on the future domestic depression about to hit and rebuild from within.

Many countries will magically stop hating us when we leave their sphere of influence.

We are a democracy and not an empire....
