Anyone who hasn't been comatose for the last couple of years knows that there's been a lot of heated rhetoric from right-wingers to drum up support for attacking Iran. Josh Marshall and the folks at veracifier.com put together a video montage showing some of the saber-rattling from the Bush administration and its various supporters.
Of course we now know, in light of the recently-released NIE, that Iran discontinued its nuclear weapons programs in 2002. It was also recently revealed that Bush knew this fact no later than August 2007. And we're beginning to find out about other White House officials, most notably Dick Cheney, who knew about it much earlier. Yet, as you'll see, many of the bellicose statements in the video were made after August 2007.
It's also interesting to note how the White House's obedient sock puppets — Lindsey Graham, for example — repeat verbatim the talking points handed them by their overlords. There really is a right-wing echo chamber, isn't there?
