HuffPo on Iran Nuclear Coverage: 'Haven't we seen this movie before?'
NEW YORK -- Military strikes expected! Weapons inspectors called in! A murky al Qaeda connection! And Cheney says time's up for Ira...Iran Nuclear Coverage Echoes Iraq War Media Frenzy || Huffington Post
Wait. Haven't we seen this movie before?
It's already been a decade since the media hyped bogus WMD claims prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. But it sure feels like 2002 for anyone who was around then and is now scanning newspaper headlines or watching TV talking-heads discuss a possible Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities -- an act which could pull the U.S. into another thorny Middle East military conflict.
Some of the media's more overheated Iran coverage bears an eerie resemblance to Iraq coverage, but instead of former Vice President Dick Cheney we have his daughter Liz Cheney making the Sunday show rounds.
"A nuclear weapon in the hands of the world's worst sponsor of terror, one of them, is something we can't stand for," Cheney said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Ron Paul: 'I am the only one who predicted the economic meltdown'
(GoinsReport.com) -- While issuing a response to the Congressional Budget Office's latest report, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) also took time to tout his clairvoyance on the economic crisis.
"Of the five men seeking the presidency in the major parties – President Obama, Governor Romney, Speaker Gingrich, Senator Santorum, and myself – I am the only one who predicted the economic meltdown," Paul said.
He continued: "and the only one who has proposed a serious plan to balance the budget, reduce taxes, and create jobs."
On the House Floor on September 6, 2001, Ron Paul, speaking on the expansion of credit into the housing market, said the following: "Instead of the newly inflated money being directed toward the stock market, it now finds its way into the rapidly expanding real-estate bubble."
"This, too, will burst as all bubbles do," Paul continued. "The Fed, the Congress, or even foreign investors can't prevent the collapse of this bubble, any more than the incestuous Japanese banks were able to keep the Japanese "miracle" of the 1980s going forever."
In mid-2006, the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates to discourage inflation. By first quarter 2007, subprime foreclosures were becoming more frequent. The housing bubble had burst.

Video: Martin Luther King on being the 'policeman of the world'
Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America "you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God. Men will beat their swords into plowshafts and their spears into pruning hooks, and nations shall not rise up against nations, neither shall they study war anymore." I don't know about you, I ain't going to study war anymore. ~Martin Luther King, Where Do We Go From Here? (1967)

President Obama’s ‘balanced’ budget - TheHill.com
President Obama submitted his fiscal 2013 budget proposal to Congress a week late this year. Some might have expected that the delay was due to the president wanting to include some major new proposals. Sadly, other than some new debt-financed “investment” proposals, that does not appear to be the case. The president’s budget proposal is largely a reprise of the recommendations he gave in the fall to the so-called “supercommittee.”President Obama’s ‘balanced’ budget - TheHill.com
