[thomhartmann]

Ari Rabin-Havt, The Agenda-SiriusXM Progress 127/The Benghazi Hoax & Vanessa Baden Kelly, Brave New Films both join Thom Hartmann. It's been over a decade since a frightened fervor swept America's reason and the nation's neocons led us to a bloody and costly war in Iraq. And after all that time - they're still drawing out the same old lines.

1. I've got an idea..make the wealthy individuals & corp America

pay for the war if they persist and require all of their children to be in the front lines
You'll see how fast war with Iran becomes on the back burner

9. That would work. Here's another idea,

when we go to war, declared or not, nationalize all industries that are needed to support the war.

3. Neocons calculate that war will yield money and political power.

That is what Republicans have been about since the middle of the 19th Century.

4. Jeb was one of the original neocons

5. It's obvious...

The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, then the first WTC bombing happened in 1993. The cons were without a boogeyman for 4 years.

Terrorism replaced communism.

8. The Gulf War from 2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991

They were very quick to create a new enemy.

The first Iraq War (Gulf War) lead to the second Iraq War which lead to the current disaster in the ME. The current disaster is an excuse to create more war – mission accomplished.

7. Hillary Supported the war

Hillary should be honest also.
