They have no shame

The Washington Times, owned and run by the right wing Rev. Moon, (yes the cult leader) has an article this morning that is blinding in its audacity.
BUENOS AIRES -- A recent deal between Iran and Venezuela provides for the exploitation of Venezuela's strategic minerals, prompting opposition figures to warn that President Hugo Chavez's government could be planning to provide Tehran with uranium for its nuclear program.....

Public details are vague, but Venezuelan opposition figures and press reports have said the deal on minerals could involve the production and transfer to Iran have said the deal on minerals could involve the production and transfer to Iran of Venezuelan uranium taken from known deposits located in the dense jungle states of Amazonas and Bolivar.

After all the incredible work that has been done to show the intentional lies of the "Iraq seeking Uranium from Niger" forgeries, they're going to try it again. Only this time they get a two fer by throwing Venezuela in there, too.

While we're at it, did you see the LATimes piece this morning that said the Iranians are trying pretty hard to open negotiations with the US to which John Bolton, UN rep and second top diplomat for the US stated, "I don't think we have anything to say to the Iranians."

  • Do you think we might be building another spurious case for war? There must be plenty of military equipment in the pipeline waiting for deployment somewhere. Iran is a good a bogey as anyone.

  • That's what flipped me out, is how close to the previous playbook this is going.

    And, as yet, the media aren't questioning the allegations.

    Makes me start to believe in the "big conspiracy" whether its Bilderberger or whatever other form.

  • Why would Iran need uranium from Venezuela? They have plenty of their own. So does Iraq.But this is just like the terror levels they brought back over the weekend, an election year strategy to keep Republican control of the Congress.
