WPost Still Talks Tough on Iran

By Robert Parry
January 25, 2011

Just as some Republicans view tax cuts as the answer to all domestic problems, the Washington Post’s neoconservative editors see “regime change” in hostile Muslim nations as the only acceptable option, ignoring the slippage in U.S. influence in the Middle East that has resulted from following that approach in Iraq and elsewhere.

By repeating the lie that Ahmedi-Nejad "won" his reelection, in the face of the prolonged mass demonstrations despite violent police/militia repression and the sustained totalitarian persecution of all dissent, you show that you are no more deserving of respect than the US government you claim to oppose--and, worse yet, your valid exposes of American corruption become trivially easy to discret with just that one quote.

fosforus is wrong.
I think calling Saddam a "sunni dictator" is unfair. For all his faults, he kept the confessional differences firmly in check;sunni and shiite Iraqis intermarried, and of course he had decent education, health and infrastructure in the country, and women's rights, until the disgraceful US and UK-sponsored sanctions then invasion and war.

The article has some merit. A war with Iran is likely to be just another war for the sake of having a war. Too bad Parry's analytical skills are hard to trust in the wake of his incredible ignorance of the specifics of the 9/11 false flag and his link between 9/11 Truth and the recent Tucson gun attack.

Speaking of "neocon narratives that deviate from the ground truth", Robert Parry seems to have overlooked the same problem with regard to 9-11 Truth.

Parry, did you notice that even FOX News has recently allowed Geraldo to do a segment showing the collapse of Building 7, including interviews with an expert from the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth? It's obvious to anyone who sees this "collapse" that it was a controlled demolition.

Until this point, the neocon news media like Fox have suppressed all footage of Building 7, but Rivera and Judge Napolitano have now famously reversed their positions on the subject and admit that the official explanations are preposterous.

NIST was paid $20M by the Bush administration for its 10,000 pages of blather on how THREE skyscrapers "structurally failed" after being hit by only two planes.

The public is simply not buying it anymore, yet in another recent article, Parry has decided to invent his own reasons to support this "neocon narrative".

Specifically, Parry has forwarded the preposterous notion that an "interior atrium" was what caused Building 7 to collapse at freefall speed and subsequently pulverize into dust.

Yes, there were a few small atria in various locations, but they only spanned a few floors each. This does not begin to explain the smooth, symmetrical and uniform collapse from top to bottom and side to side of this 47-story steel, concrete and glass structure in only 6.5 seconds.

It seems Parry is reaching hard to support the neocon narrative that got us into all these wars in the first place.

Dan Noel & 'anonymous' are living a 'faith-based' lie on 9/11. I know they and their ilk will never believe credible evidence to the contrary (or they'll move on to some other equally unlikely 9/11 myth), but for the rest of you that might be inclined for some realism, visit http://www.debunking911.com which does away with virtually all the '9/11 truther' points - - including this http://www.debunking911.com/pull.htm section which investigates the Bldg #7 collapse in detail. (No, 'Virginia', it did NOT fall in 6.5 seconds as the 'truthers' like to falsely claim ad nauseum, it was closer to at least 13 seconds).
