Iran No Threat To Israel?

    From CNN we hear that Iran's nuclear program is not a threat to Israel and that Iran is ready to settle it's issues with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This could be done within three weeks according to the report.

   Iran may be a lot smarter than Bush and Cheney think they are as the Iranians have now turned the tables on the Bush clan by trying to work these issues out. If Bush launches an attack at this time, then he will once again get the ire of the rest of the planet, not that he gives a dam.

Ali Larijani, speaking at a forum that gathered the world's top security officials, said Iran doesn't have aggressive intentions toward any nation.

"That Iran is willing to threaten Israel is wrong," Larijani said. "We pose no threat and if we are conducting nuclear research and development we are no threat to Israel. We have no intention of aggression against any country."

In Israel, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev dismissed Larijani's comments, saying Iran's government was trying to convince the international community to believe that their intentions are benign. "The fact is that they have failed in this attempt and there is a wall-to-wall consensus that the Iranian nuclear program is indeed military and aggressive and a threat to world peace."

   Israel sounds a lot like Tony Blair when it comes to rhetoric about who is doing what and where in the middle east.

McCain Forgetting About Campaign Reform The He Sought

    Running for the presidential nomination will surely make you change your ways of thinking. We have all heard Sen. John McCain railing about the need for campaign finance reform many times in the past because of all of the loopholes that are in the laws giving the bigger spenders the right of way to buy a person into office.

    Now that McCain is trying to play catch up with the rest of the money crowd, he is in fact going after some of the very same big money people that he sought to curtain, A. Jerrold Perenchio being one of them.

   McCain went to court a year or so back to try to stop a $9 million infusion to a group that Mr. Perenchio donated to. But now McCain is in fact in league with Perenchio (founder of Univision )  to raise some money  as the co-chairman of the McCain's national finance committee.

    It is amazing how much a run for a political office can change your point of views on many things!

   Once upon a time I would have cast my vote for John McCain, but after the sham with the so-called torture bill, any respect that I had for him went out the window.

   In case you have not noticed, McCain is beginning to look like the second coming of George Bush and we surely do not need that in Washington, D.C. McCain needs to take is old, tired, ass back to Arizona and enjoy the sunshine for the few remaining years that he has left on this earth.
