An interesting video has come to my attention. Though it was released in 2007, it is still worth watching as it is just as relevant today as it was then. Brave New Films compared the kind of rhetoric used by FOX to justify the needless invasion of Iraq… with the sort of vitriol that FOX was using at the time to justify hitting Iran. If anything, the language has worsened; FOX constantly has presenters and guests on promoting the idea of bombing Iran. War strategies were discussed by the mainstream media even while Obama was negotiating the Iran deal…
Imagine how the average Iranian would feel when a country with a track-record of needless invasions killing millions through its history threatens him continuously with attack?
The video does not just single out FOX, recalling that all the major TV networks had essentially run the same anti-iraq propaganda. TIME, The New York Times and countless other MSM publications/channels have also pushed the anti-Iran agenda.
Whether there is any truth in the MSM’s claim that it had been strong-armed by Bush remains to be seen. Regardless, if a media organisation was so quick to fold into perpetuating lies, then perhaps it was never worth watching to begin with.
The video was made awhile back and states that WMDs were not found in Iraq, and WMDs WERE recently found there… extremely old and long-abandoned, these chemical WMDs ironically provided by the US of A. It should be noted that the major push for invading Iraq was the insinuation that Saddam had nuclear WMDs, which were never found.
Had Saddam REALLY had nukes, Bush would NOT have ordered the senseless attack… This “preemptive” strike was thus really a pre-“I know you don’t have nukes, so I’m gonna say you do and hit you anyway” strike. The only logical solution for a small country to protect itself? Get nukes.
The US’s “anti-nuclear” rhetoric is ironically the best justification for getting the bomb.

How can they say that Iran will make a deal with Al Qaeda ,they hate each other. Iran is chia and Al Qaida is sunni. Al Qaeda considers chia as heretics.
I remember the Falklands War. The Argentine dictatorship of general Videla started it to distract the attention of the Argentine people from the disastrous economic situation. Revolt was brewing so they started a war. The military junta collapsed because they proved themselves as corrupt in making war as in governing the country.
Al Qaeda has shiny new American weapons : because Iran gave it to them!? I’m not dumb enough to think so…

Faux News is just another wing of the Right Wing Neocon war mongering crowd. They don’t want peace. That would affect their bottom line.
