Congress pushes iran regime change over diplomacy

Commentary: Amazing interview, isn't it?  Read between the lines and think about it: what is Wilkerson *really* saying?  He is saying that the entire US political establishment, the entire US polity, is completely controlled by, and powerless against, the Israel Lobby.  Even though many politicians and government officials fully understand that the USA is headed towards a disastrous war against Iran, they are unable to do anything to prevent that outcome.

The only global superpower is headed towards a disastrous war solely because of foreign lobby has taken complete and undisrupted control over it.  Absolutely amazing, IMHO.

Call it the Israel Lobby, call it the Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC), call it the Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) or call it by some super politically correct expression ("our beloved Jewish overlords" (OBJO)?), the reality is the same: the US has lost its sovereignty and is now controlled, fully, by a foreign power, whose interests are diametrically opposed to the national interests of the USA.

How can anybody deny this now self-evident fact?

The Saker

Why Did Defense Secretary Panetta Say Iran Not Building Nukes?

LEON PANETTA, U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Are they trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No, but we know that they're trying to develop a nuclear capability, and that's what concerns us. And our red line to Iran is: do not develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us.

BOB SCHIEFFER, FACE THE NATION (CBS): What would happen if Israel does decide to take this matter into its own hands? And what would be our reaction and response to that?

PANETTA: If the Israelis made that decision, we would have to be prepared to protect our forces in that situation. And that's what we'd be concerned about.
