AEI Warmonger On Hardball: There Are No Alternatives - BOMB IRAN NOW.

Tweety not only didn't serve in the military but neither did his guests Jim Walsh from MIT and Joshua Muravchik from AEI.

From Crooks and Liars:

On Monday’s Hardball Chris Matthews talked with Jim Walsh from MIT and Joshua Muravchik from the American Enterprise Institute to discuss Iran and whether or not the U.S. should attack. In what was one of Matthews’ more palatable segments, he grills Muravchik, who says he doesn’t care when we attack Iran just as long as we do it soon because, in his words, there are no alternatives.

Both Matthews and Walsh fail to mention Sunni militants, supported by Saudis, who are actually responsible for the majority of attacks on U.S. soldiers and the fact that the Bush administration doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge it. Walsh did warn that invading Iran would be a giant mistake:

Walsh: “…It would be extremely costly. I mean, if you liked the war in Iraq, you would love the war in Iran. Whether it’s battlefield deaths in Afghanistan or Iraq, because you know, Iran’s not gonna just going to sit there and take it; they’re going to come back after us. If we have an IED problem today, just think imagine what it’s going to be like…”

It is interesting how all the cowards who wouldn't serve in the Military are calling for bombing Iran. Now what would they say if they were told to suit up and get a gun your going to war in Iran. Bush and Cheney were scared and got out as all cowards did. Tweety would be AOL on day one of his notice. O'Reilly would say he's gay and Rush would ask to go to a countries were child molestation is legal.
