Reader comment on item: How to Save the Obama Presidency: Bomb Iran
in response to reader comment: Justification for acting against Iran is moral and not political
Submitted by grape of wrath (United States), Sep 23, 2010 at 10:34
former US Ambassador Bolton is a liar, and as far as Israel and Morality shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence...your argument as flowery and well written as it seems is all based on speculation at best...Please stop spewing the arguments of the CFR which seems to dictate foreign policy for the United States...dig deeper, look, research to find out to see who is behind this "ENDLESS WAR POLICY". President Eisenhower warned about the Military Industrial Complex controlled by the Power Elite, Rockefeller, the Queens of England and Denmark, etc.
