1: I'm sorry. It's my responsibility to somehow stop these things but I suck at it. 2: It is wrong to start a war. They have already hit civilian targets, killed children. 3: The president starting a war without a declaration by the Congress is criminal. 4: Iran was not threatening the United States in any way. 5: Israel is not a state in the Union, nor even a treaty ally, nor even a faithful friend. 6: No one in power believes their own lies that Iran was making nukes or was about to start to try or anything of the sort. It's a completely fake pretext for war. Their program was nearly "obliterated" last June and they offered in recent days to refrain from enrichment for 3-5 years and then to limit it's purity to only 1.5% u-235, completely and totally nullifying that pretext. Perhaps that's why Trump attacked now, to prevent Witkoff from actually accomplishing something acceptable. 7: Iran does not have and is not anywhere near having missiles that can reach the U.S. 8: The fact that the president has to invoke the Beirut bombing of 1983 as a pretext just goes to show that he has nothing like a case for defensive or "pre-emptive" war of any kind. It's simple aggression. 9: They have no plan for who to install in power there. The monarchists and MEK cultists are a complete joke. Kurdish commies are no better. 10: They and the bin Ladenites in AQ and ISIS are certainly thrilled at their new opportunity to slaughter their enemies though. Enough bombs could destroy the state, but not replace it. A permanent Syria-style civil war would be just fine with Tel Aviv and therefore Washington. 11: Iran has already hit a US base in Bahrain and launched attacks at others across the region. 12: If the Ayatollahs Khamenei or Sistani announce a new religious obligation on the part of their followers to attack the West, they will have an army far greater than bin Laden or Baghdadi could have dreamed of. Most of our recent wars have benefited them, so they haven't had the need to. Now, who knows what might happen, but it is certainly not worth the risk. 13: Israel also played this sort of crucial role in America's invasion of Iraq 23 years ago, but way under the radar compared to now. Resent it. 14: Here's me refuting lies about Iran's nuclear program 16 years ago. For all the good it's ever done.

Last month I was given the Excellence in Journalism award from Integrity Media, along with Matt Taibbi, Julian Assange, Robert Scheer, The Jimmy Dore Show and several others. Here's my little-old remarks regarding free speech. (I wish I had written them out like everyone else.)

A couple weeks ago I debated the allegedly somewhat reformed War Party stalwart Fred Fleitz for zerohedge. I admit I was a bit nervous leading up to it. Bill Kristol is just a fat, washed-up old windbag and Wesley Clark has never been anything than a political "perfumed prince," as Col. David Hackworth always called him. Never been in a fight. Never won a real argument. I had no problem handling those kooks. But Fleitz was CIA, DIA, State for more than 20 years. Worked directly for John Bolton in the W. Bush days. He's not a political appointee, but a real-ass Deep State bureaucrat from the agencies, and presumably more capable than the bosses he briefs on their talking points. But in the end, it was easy. The hawks just cannot contend with the truth. When it came to the crucial discrepancy between America's interests in suppressing bin Ladenites and Israel's interest in helping them fight Hezbollah and Iran, Fleitz chose not to engage at all. When he (possibly legitimately) claimed to know worse truth about the DPRKs nuclear program in 2002, he still did not have a good answer for why talks should have been suspended in favor of confrontation, which has at least not prevented their breakout toward an ever-growing stockpile of atom bombs. I ain't all that great at debating. But I am right. Now how about if we just had thousands of antiwar folks in the country who knew as much about this stuff as me, and could hold your own in similar circumstances? The argument for non-interventionism would be unstoppable.

Waco. It was 30 years ago. Obviously I have a vendetta-keeping disorder. Perhaps it's time to quit beating everyone over the head with it. Then again, the feds put out a bunch of crap this year to launder their lies back into the mainstream's understanding of that atrocity. So somebody's gotta tell the truth about it.
