Wolf Blitzer in totally bullshit CNN fearmongering intro: "Terrifying new reason" to fear Iran



Oh, wait a minute. These fears come from the Chairman of the House Homeland Security committee? That's chaired by Peter King? Never mind.

I mean I'm no expert, so maybe they have something to do with each other, but I'm not going to assume it because CNN and King are looking for reasons to make people afraid.

with known ties to Iran. Been well known since the 80's.

Now, do they have people here? maybe a few got through the terrorist travel lists.

A lot of well trained people? no fucking way. Peter King is pulling shit out of his ass, as usual. Probably to fear-monger and rile up the racist muslin' fearing base.

still have credibility is because after the Democratic Party establishment signed onto and helped legitimize the Iraq War, Dems were too afraid to expose the whole truth behind that debacle for fear that fingers would be pointed back at them.

CNN, Blitzer, King and so many others should have apologized, asked for America's forgiveness and then signed off or retired.
Instead they are doing the exact same thing they were doing ten years ago.

This is what happens when you insist on looking forward to hide the sins of your past.
