New World Order Title: Broder: War With Iran! Why? It Will Help Obama’s Campaign! In his most despicable and sickening column ever, David Broder, the “dean” of Washington’s press corps (that should tell you something), nostalgically recalls how World War II “resolved” the economic crisis of the Great Depression. Broder then placidly recommends that Obama consider an American attack on Iran as a winning tactic for his 2012 reelection campaign. Why? Because not only will it “resolve” our economic crisis, but even Republicans will “urge him on”! No Iran war, no 2012 win! Plain as day, isn’t it? Why didn’t Rahm think of that already, I wonder? Unnecessary, immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional war is the last refuge of a scoundrel. But we cannot dismiss Mr.Broder as a senile cynic: he has long been a dependable cheerleader for the War Parties — both of them. His entire career has been dedicated to the destruction of liberty, opportunity, peace, and morality. Broder has constantly supported more government of every kind. Now, in the sunset of his life, he reveals that war, war, war is an the inescapable and logical result of his ideology. That is sad enough, but note that, in his lust for power, he not only calls for war, but seems to salivate at the prospect of thousands of Americans dying for the re-election of a third-rate politician. Apparently, Broder would actually enjoy it! That Broder is the media’s “dean” only proves that Hayek was right: the worst has risen to the top of Washington journalism — and, on inspection, it is pure scum.

AssClown Non Pareil: Let me tell you something: this problem is not going away. At the very least it is going to paralyze the real estate industry for as far ahead as anyone can see. For another thing, it could force the disclosure of what the banks are holding in their vaults in the way of worthless paper and expose their insolvency. For still another thing, it could lead to rafts of lawsuits that would additionally shove the banks toward collapse, demolish the claims that underlie our currency, call into question the meaning of property ownership per se that is the basis of Anglo-American law, and tie up the court system until kingdom come. So the Empire needs a new Pearl harbor.
#4. To: mcgowanjm, jwpegler (#2) So the Empire needs a new Pearl harbor. there is a story in The Hill this morning about how the incoming GOP Congress will pressure Obama to act more boldly toward Iran. Welcome back the Neocons to power.
#7. To: go65 (#4) Welcome back the Neocons to power. As nolu chan posted elsewhere, "We have spent about $1T on the Iraq war. The active war part lasted a few days. First you blow everything up then you award contracts to put it back together. You supply 100K troops in the field, and a bunch more as support. It can also serve as a fine demo of new weapons for sales to other nations. It makes people rich... just certain select people, mind you." Yup, the neocons are back in town. But they won't raise the debt ceiling, no way, cross their evil little hearts.
#8. To: Skip Intro (#7) Yup, the neocons are back in town. But they won't raise the debt ceiling, no way, cross their evil little hearts. that debt ceiling is going to get raised very quickly the second the Republicans realize that war operations will come to a grinding halt if it's not.
Replies to Comment # 8. that debt ceiling is going to get raised very quickly the second the Republicans realize that war operations will come to a grinding halt if it's not. I guess that Badeye will fire them all again, bringing the Democrats back in. It doesn't seem like much of a plan to me.
