Warmongering Headline Writer at the Ottawa Sun should be Fired.
The Ottawa Sun carried an Associated Press story today reporting that if Israel or the United States attacked, Iran would retaliate. The headline writer should be fired. Here’s what the stupid warmongering idiot put atop the piece: Iran Threatens Israel. This sub-head came about half way through: Can’t be Trusted.
Here are some relevant quotes from the story, and a more relevant explanation as to why such comments were made:
"Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari is quoted in the conservative Jam-e-Jam newspaper as saying Iran would respond to such an attack with a barrage of missiles against Israel.
Jafari also threatened to choke off the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a narrow outlet for tankers leaving the Persian Gulf through which 60% of the world’s oil for export moves.
His remarks yesterday follow the recent disclosure of a large Israeli military exercise over the Mediterranean Sea that was seen as sending a message to Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions."
The correct headline to this story should read: Israel Threatens Iran.

The correct headline should indeed have been Israel Threatens Iran. Or America Threatens Iran (because America is buttressing Israel and egging them on). My understanding is that likely there will / would be joint strikes. This scenario really might happen and an unfoldment will / would be much much worse than the boondoogle in Iraq. Iran is much more significant militarily. But the real story IMO is that Iran has put forward a very compelling offer of peace talks that need to be addressed, but bad faith on the part of the American administration continues with orders to Iran that no self-respecting country or person could countenance.Western media has almost completely overlooked Iran’s overtures caught up in the drum beat, as it was before the Iraq invasion. A solid article on Iran’s overture is here: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9467
