he was a bbc reporter that alleged the uk government had 'sexed up' the evidence for war in iraq, the 45 minute claim. a row ensued, gilligan was asked to reveal his source, he refused, out came david kelly who was found dead shortly after, a suicide. gilligan was ejected from the bbc and i have no idea what happened after that.

Iranian Nuclear Ambitions and American Foreign Policy

These recent Iranian aspirations for nuclear weapons as purported by American policy makers are not a recent occurrence; the Shah in 1974 established the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and stated that Iran would have nuclear weapons without a doubt very soon.

Any U.S. strike might not destroy Iran nuclear sites:

"Iran is a force for Peace"

You know, I hadn't actually noticed that before! Are they a force for peace in the same way that Pakistan is? I'm getting a little confused by the details now.

"Is that you, Mr Crackerjack? It is clearly a surprise for you, Mr Zipperhead."

No. That's at least two people on this thread who think you're a simpleton. How weird is that? Still, I'm in awe of your cut'n'paste skills so your life hasn't been a total waste.
 
Mr Crakerjack, you wrote in a post here sentiments that clearly revealed your innocence concerning BBC broadcast journalism ideology, that cynically articulated your admiration for your confidence in believing what you are told to believe, and doing so with a patronising smirk towards those who know that this is not the case. And when it was here - comprehensively - reported that the BBC's coverage, of the war crime that is the US-led Iraq invasion, was systematically biased in favour of the war criminals, your response was simply to seek refuge in yet further reactionary abuse. All you have succeeded in doing here, apart from indicating your total indifference and ignorance of geopolitics, is demonstrate to us that you don't know your arse from your elbow.

Mr Craner, the Kraner vs Kraner reference (even to ignore the evident film one) was a simple reinforcement of the point being made about your irrational, self-refuting posts: that you are seemingly oblivious to the war raging inside your contradictory, smugonautic head, you lonely waif. [As to your compulsive interest in incestuous family fraternity, I would suggest that you and old gurrier are both perfectly suited to enacting the juvenile role-playing game of each pretending to be the younger brother that you never had].

It's just that Kramer Vs. Kramer was released one year after I was born, and my parents divorced in cicurmstances very similar to the film. So it's not such a great joke in any case, but I didn't want to bring it up, hey. I just know the film, you div. There's a lack of nuance on this forum, that I find absurd.

Any, what, I'm a 'Smugonaut!? I don't think I am, brother. Please explain.

The movie stole the limelight from your 1st birthday celebrations? A Hollywood movie precipitated your parent's divorce? [Is this a Marx Bros' movie plot?].

In the light of your many posts here smugly justifying the mass murder and slaughter being perpetrated by US and UK war criminals [Iran being the latest, after a long history, still continuing, of its hysterical demonisation by Western colonialists] in Iraq, in Afghanistan, its hilarious - and genuinely tragic - that you should suddenly retreat into odious self-pity and victimisation ("I've a right to express vengeful views; look, here, I'm a VICTIM!! Poor me, Boo hoo hoo ...").

A lack of nuance, all right.


["He tried to kill my Da!"===>Most powerful looney on the planet, embracing (phantasmatic) victimisation as war pretext, as justification for a violent passage a l'acte .]

Not sure where this thread is going, or indeed has come from, and can't be arsed finding out given recent posts. The thread is titled, 'War in Iran', however, and I am watching CNN on that very matter so will forge ahead...

And note how bizzare and very very thin and stilted the coverage appears. Talking heads in garish colors, proffering barely disguised and badly sutured propaganda on both sides.

Myself, I truly dig Iran and the US, both. And CNN, while brazen in its go US, is, nonetheless, not totally without nuance and genuine concern for genuine information.

And now its the Oscars/Emmys?: some really really boring fuck from the Village Voice and lots of disproportionate excitement, giggling, from them, and entirely proportionate cognitive dissonance for me as viewer. Hardly a novel observation, but something is painfully wrong here.

Well, he was of course well trained by a precursor, the (Eliza Doolittle) professor of table-mannered primatification (as precurser to his Iran-Contra chimpanzification of US foreign policy):

My point being, that if we're trying to have a rational discussion on some important current topic I'd rather hear what people on here have to say, than be met with a barrage of cut-n-pasted articles, blog links, out-of-context quotations and crappy cartoon drawings of George Bush.
