Who says the MSM has an agenda?

.
There are no links my friends, this is an opinion peice.
.
During the entire Bush Administration, the liberals and the MSM have screamed and yelled that Bush started the War on Terror because the not necessarially evil Islamofascists threatened his daddy. He started the war for oil. He started the war because he's just too stupid to understand that the U.S. is too old and weak to win a war.
.
In the midst of that, he was screamed and screeched at for seeing Iran as the staging ground and provider to the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. He wasn't supposed to see Iran as an enemy. He wasn't supposed to even consider taking on Iran for reasons already stated here. Leave Iran alone!!

The very first story on "CBS Sunday Morning" this morning, was about ex-CIA spook Robert Baer. Baer spent 21 years in the Middle East as a spy. He once had a small task given to him by the CIA, he was supposed to take out Saddam. Surely I jest! No, he admits it and CBS never called him on it. When, where, who was President, none of it wad questioned.
.
Odd huh?
.
But what is it that Baer was expounding on this morning?
.
Iran and how the other countries in the Middle East see them as a threat. Wait, I thought we were the bad guys over there. Dan Rather, Katie Cutiepie, et al, have been telling me so for 8 years.
.
Baer thinks we need to "re-include" Iran in the decision loop in politics in that arena to make them the China of the Middle East. We need to make the same kind of overtures toward Iran that Nixon made to China, Baer says. (and how's the experiment working out for us?)
.
I disagree with Baer, if for no other reason, the leaders of Iran are much more strident about destroying us, than Mao, Lenin, or even Kruschev ever thought about being. Communists want(ed) to rule the world, for sure. But they wanted the people and infrastructure intact. They didn't carpet bomb the countries in Eastern Europe and kill the citizens during or after WWII. They couldn't nuke the countries or use chemical or bioweapons, they wanted those countries and those peoples as members in the grand communist plan of Marx!! Nukes didn't exist then, but they would never have used them, they wanted the world, under their leadership, but a working world.
.
However Iran, and the Islamofascists in general, wants us D-E-D, annihilated, gone, or imprisoned and our children enslaved, our whore daughters and wives raped and defiled. How do I know these things?
.
Because, Russian, Chinese and Iranian / Islamofascists leaders have said so. They've said, "...OK, U.S. and European leaders, here's what we want to do, TO YOU".
.
I needed to look at the history of the differences between the Communists and the Islamofascists. But I digress, some, to make my point.
.
My question is this, why is it, 26 days into the Obama Administration, CBS, home to both Rather and Cutiepie, suddenly sees Iran as a force to be reckoned with? Why are the Iranians someone who must be "dealt with", Baer's words not mine. But what has truly changed, in those 26 days, other than the leader of the Free World?
.
The ultimate question is, to me anyway, how can ANYONE trust the American news media, to get their daily news and information, given the love affair with Obama for the last two years? Or given their propensity to lie, and hide the truth or change their angle on a story?

Listen, they started on bush BEFORE he was in office, he was just unlucky to inherit the policies of Clinton. Iran was the ones behind Kobar towers in Saudi Arabia, they were behind various atacks of American troop in Iraq AND Afganistan not to mention other bombings and assasinations in the missle east and europe.Iran 's main purpose has always been domination. They are Persians and could give two shits about Arabs, jews, Asians or Americans. Obama the mesiah will try to talk and they will blow smoke up his ass as they have done with countless other administrations since the hardliners have taken over. I say no talk. Isolate and if they get squirley, Pay people to homicde bomb them for awhile.

The Persian / Arab thing is very astute cowpill. Something most 'mericans don't know or care about. But I've seen it in action back in Navy "C" School. We had Saudi and Iranian sailors there with us. No love lost, and some outright fighting amongst them.


I too think BOHICA is in over his head, but it's the world we live in. I think we'll eventually have to go in there just like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sad but true.

Of course, a couple of well placed snipers could end the whole thing, IMO. No humble implied.

Because Obama is the messiah, the Magic Negro, the supreme being, the savior of the world,lord of all, , bread of life, man of peace. As for Iran, they mean to kill ALL infidels so as to hurry the coming of the messiah. Gasp! I just realized there is a connection here!

I saw the same interview this morning Steve, and although i agree with much of what the ex-agent (assuming he's for real. It's CBS ya know) said about the Iranians and how they think, i don't agree with his opinion that we should "sit down" with Iran. Only a fool would try to pet a rabid dog. Also keep in mind, there's a whole sub-culture of liberals at CIA thanks to the Clintons.

After hearing Yomama say he was willing to talk with Iran without any preconditions, Irans president Igotmypajamason is now telling the world that Iran is now a superpower! Just empty talk? Maybe. Or maybe their game of playing for time has worked and they're now nuke-ready like N. Korea. Amerika is famous for giving it's enemies all the time they want to build-up and hit first.

This simply reminds me of what i've been saying since day-1 of the Iraq war. "YOU ATTACKED THE WRONG COUNTRY MR. PRESIDENT". If we had a real leader in the White House, instead of a nitwit from Mexas, he would've known where the real threat was coming from and pointed the bombs in that direction. And, the Iraqi military would've been more than happy to help us! To sit down with Iran will be seen as "another" major sign of weakness by the entire middle east. Iran has been at war with us for over 25 years. We're just too stupid to realize it!
