Joe Hansen: Neville Chamberlain was convinced that Adolf Hitler could be reasoned with, and swallowed Hitler's assurances hook, line and sinker...ignoring all of Hitler's rhetoric beforehand. We know what happened then. We know what's happening now. And we swore "Never again" after WWII. We're moving from having a choice of options to… 05/26/2012Influential
Leslie P: I do not like agreeing with you on that +Jack Stanley . I really want you to be wrong. Failing that, I would like to go back to the days of believing that the people running my nation's government LOVE my nation and honestly pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to defend her.

Jack Stanley: +Leslie P - it is a safe bet that somewhere inside the beltway there are some who would step over the line to ensure a return of the caliphate or at least wreak havoc on imagined enemies who are responsible for all evil in their 'minds' - and some of these misfits have the power and means. 05/26/2012

Leslie P: Technical glitch? They were aiming for 20% but accidentally got to 27%? Oh, ok then. It's all just for power, right? Not war or weapons? OK. So that pledge to annihilate Israel was just kidding around, you know, the way friends do? OK. 05/25/2012Influential
James Hamel: Oh, i'm well aware of all of Netanyahu's maneuvering and i concur with your estimation on his intent. However, waiting until November cannot be an option. 05/25/2012
Rodney Graves: Bibi will be relying on his own sources of intelligence. You should also note that he has formed a unity government, which I take as an indication that armed intervention is imminent. 05/25/2012Influential
James Hamel: Iran's explanation: the 27% uranium was a "technical glitch"?!?! Uh, ok. Gotcha. Look away....nothing to see here. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, that will be true. 05/25/2012
