Is it just me, or do I see a giant distraction in progress? You know, something to try to take the minds of the masses off of the protests in New York and how bad they are being screwed over?

If Murdoch will pay for it, fine.

Vodka Zombie: How many times do we need to get our asses kicked before we realize that America really isn't cut out for this whole business of being a bully?

America is like the hugely fat kid who's trying his hand at being a bully. We might actually be good at it if the smaller kids weren't so damn maneuverable.

Although I find NewsCorp and its methods absolutely despicable, this is over the top. I sympathize with the sentiment, though.

Give Fox a break. They have a lot of tards to entertain.

USA! USA!! USA!!!

I guess the presidents approval ratings are down and he is pulling a page from the old playbook.

Got Clinton out of a hummer, I guess it can get Obama out of his troubles.

I missed that part of the article, I guess.

Fox News staff & fans: here ya go (new window).

We could do that... or we could try to avoid collapsing the entire economy with another unjustified war.

Well, I guess a broken clock is correct eventually

Funny, Fox doesn't seem to mention any call for action against Koch Industries for illegal trading with Iran during the trade embargo....

This whole scheme is what the Grand Ayatollah wants. Ayatollah Seyed Ali Hoseyni Khāmene'i wants the USA to attack Iran so he can consolidate power.

I am confused. Is Bush still in office or something? Are they really going to go up in front of the UN again with a poorly supported set of twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against yet another middle eastern nation? (Apologies to Mr Guthrie)

It's not really a good excuse for a war. I'm not even sure we have enough credibility to leverage this into getting more nations on board with the current sanctions against Iran.

If I follow, an Iranian government backed assassination plot on a Saudi diplomat is an act of war on the United States.

That doesn't make any sense.

Oh wait, Saudi Arabia has oil, now it makes sense, my bad.

Obama will not wage another war. He is a Nobel Peace Prize winner afterall. He is set to win another one too.

/gently caresses the reel.

At this point the plot doesn't even have to sound plausible to get people to shiat their pants or for the media just to run with it without even a question.

Well, they have their navy sorted for a trans-Atlantic offensive. I'm not so sure we want to tangle with them.

If anybody has a Cassius Belle against Iran, I'd say it's the Saudis and not us. After all, it was their ambassador and embassy the Iranians were trying to blow up.

jj325: I guess I'm the only one who really doesn't care if the Iranians kill the Saudi ambassador. Weren't Saudis responsible for 9/11?

If you don't know, perhaps you shouldn't be drawing conclusions assuming it's true.

Hehe, just kidding this is fark, assume away. I agree, all Saudi's were and are responsible for 9/11. Including the ones born after 9/11.

Sleeping Monkey: How can these nuts call it an assassination when the US just did the EXACT same thing, but succeeded?

We blew up a Saudi ambassador while dining in public? Really?

Some 'Splainin' To Do: Yeah, sure let's go to war. I mean, we're just rolling around in spare trillion-dollar notes, right?

well, it would be cheaper to send our Iraq troops across the border instead of bringing them all home first, then having to ship them all back. Same with Afgan

I was told that we where always at war with Eastasia. I am going to report you to the Thought Police.

karl2025: If anybody has a Cassius Belle against Iran, I'd say it's the Saudis and not us. After all, it was their ambassador and embassy the Iranians were trying to blow up.

Idiot! It's Casus Belli, not Cassius Belle! Stop trusting autocorrect!

Hillary doing an impression of Monica? Too late, BTW...

jehovahs witness protection: Some 'Splainin' To Do: Yeah, sure let's go to war. I mean, we're just rolling around in spare trillion-dollar notes, right?

our nukes are already paid for.

So are our politicians. Hey, about we airlift to Iran some of those pallets of $100 bills left over from Iraq? Then when Iranians get accustomed to rolling around in all the spare $100 notes, then we nuke em?

Actually the article wasn't Fox News calling for war, it was simply our elected officials calling for war..

Which is a bit disconcerting.

FTA: "Rep. Michael McCaul R-Texas, said if it was indeed sponsored by the Iranian government, "this would constitute an act of war not only against the Saudis and Israelis but against the United States"

Wait, how did Israel get involved?

Can you imagine if 'Bomb Bomb Iran' McCain was in office. Geez, there'll be at least 3 wars (maybe 4 if you include Libya, since McCain was very gung-ho on going into there too).

Yep.

And this is what to expect if we elect another Republican to office, Farkers...

NewportBarGuy: Republicans and get a brain morans Independents will rally to this cause (again) and use it to scare the crap out of Americans. It worked before just a short while ago. It will work again.

Hello President Rick PerryMitt Romney.

Perry is the correct fear monger candidate, not Mitt.

Sleeping Monkey: jehovahs witness protection: Just nuke em and be done with it.

You obviously have a firm grasp of international politics.

This sequence of posts made me laugh audibly.
It's like watching a drunk argue with his friends.

Article has nothing to do with the post title here. Where is Fox calling for war? Christ.

You for Foxphobia?

Perhaps we can get Iraq to attack them now.

jehovahs witness protection: Just nuke em and be done with it.

Yes, please, slaughter all the millions of people in Iran who had nothing to do with it to maybe get the five people who did. Sounds like a plan.

lennavan: If I follow, an Iranian government backed assassination plot on a Saudi diplomat is an act of war on the United States.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why not? A Saudi government-backed murder plot on U.S. citizens was an act of war by Iraq.
