We Are Being Stampeded into War with Iran

It's 2002 all over again. Big Lies are being repeated every day -- without any evidence offered or even skeptical questioning from alleged news people -- about a grave threat to our society from a Middle Eastern Muslim nation. This time it's Iran and its alleged nuclear-weapons program. Unless the United States or Israel bombs that country and effects regime change, we're doomed.

It's all nonsense. The quickest way to see this is to watch this video, in which the heroic Scott Horton, host of Antiwar Radio, debunks the empty claim that Iran is building nukes.

Who was the liar that Scott Horton was refuting? Is there a YouTube of the complete panel presentation?

I have no idea. Don't call people names here, Mr. Anonymous (nice touch). Give a counterargument based on fact or take your hands off the keyboard and step away. Horton regularly interviews knowledgeable people on Antiwar Radio (e.g. Gordon Prather) who make this same case. If you can refute, do it. And make sure you tell the federal intelligence agencies, since their latest National Security Estimate says Iran has had no nuclear weapons program since 2003 and the agencies are resisting pressure from political forces to change that conclusion.
