Joe Klein, voice shaking, says this was a dangerous speech

because we have invaded another country's consulate. And we need to know that this means we are invading another country, Iran. And although Iran did not rise to the bait, they will make us pay.

Joe Klein. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

12. Joke Line, Bite Me!

This asswipe and every sniveling phony little "liberal" who's pissed on the antiwar left need about a decade's worth of contrition before I'll ever trust another word again.

(ok, I have no idea what he's on about today, the guy just pisses me off, is all.)

The entire political fabric has been ripped to shreds.

4. Klein is really, really upset. He said that address last night was

the worst thing he'd seen in 30 years of covering politics.

He said going after Iran is a dangerous game.

Amazing!

13. I can't stand that fucking phoney

and I concur with others who point the finger to him as nothing more than a Bush War Enabler.

Plus, he ALWAYS, ALWAYS attacks Democrats.

tonite was no exception.

7. Even the MSM and semi-sane Repukes

now cannot deny that his chimperial highness is stark raving mad. Last night proved it for all to see. That psycho wants to start World War 3.

Chimpeach or invoke the 24th Amendment - this asshat MUST be removed.

8. Klein is upset, Buchanan just said we are going to attack Iran

Jesus Christ, even the nuts are saying that we are going to attack Iran. Buchanan said there is NO REASON for us to have Patriot Missiles in Iraq, that we will go after a few networks in Iran, then they will strike back, perhaps in an undercover way, and then we will have our chance to use B-2s to bomb them, and here we go!!

These guys are freaked. Buchanan is now reverting to form. Saying we need to stay in Iraq.

17. Scarborough also expressed great alarm at the takeover of

the Iranian consulate in northern Iraq. He said it appears that the US is trying to provoke a military confrontation with Iran so they can justify a bombing campaign to take out Iran's nuclear sites.
