Veterans for Peace “huddle” with Ahmadinejad

| September 26, 2012

The Washington Times reports that after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad got done telling the world that he was being victimized by “uncivilized Zionists” he went into a huddle with our old friends, the mostly phony “Veterans for Peace”.

Addressing the meeting, Veterans For Peace President Leah Bolger stressed VFP’s commitment to doing everything possible to prevent a US or US-assisted attack on Iran. …

“Veterans For Peace is gravely concerned by the bellicose language coming from the government of Israel and the US regarding Iran, as well as the words that President Obama is NOT saying-and that is, that the government of the US will NOT support a military attack on Iran by Israel. We believe that without a specific denial of support for such an attack, that Israel will interpret this as tacit approval.”

I call them mostly phony because nearly every one of them that we’ve examined closely has had something in their military records that they’re being disingenuous about. Like Ward Reilly, Doug Zachary, Hal Muskat, Bill Perry, Robert Dennen, and Jim Goodnow.

They’re a bunch of hippie burn-outs and never-weres from the Vietnam generation (by the way, only Bill Perry in the list above ever went to Vietnam and he admitted to me that his testimony at Winter Soldier was “bullshit”) and shouldn’t be allowed to give the impression that they represent veterans in any way, shape or form. In fact they should all go to Iran and see how long their bullshit politics lasts over there.

If they wanted to do something constructive during their “huddle” with Ahmadinejad, they could have tried to talk to him about his uncivilized behavior instead of focusing on US and Israeli policy. But then, they haven’t done anything constructive up to this point in their lives, I don’t know why I’d expect different behavior from them now.

Thanks Jonn – easily the funniest thing I’ve had the time to read today.

That lot huddling with Ahmadinejad offers up images that I will be stuck with.

I wonder if this was before or after he met with Ramsey Clark, talk about the usual suspects.

bellicose – demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight, warlike or hostile in manner or temperament

Doesn’t the Iranian president use “bellicose language” all the time? I’m just paraphrasing here…but I seem to recall something he said about ‘wiping Israel off the face of the Earth’ and calling for the ‘death of the zionist empire’.

This is sooooooo absurd that you have to laugh at it–after you put your fist through a wall, of course.

Is there a more worthless bunch of losers out there than VFP?

OWB

The local bunch of idiots for peace numbskulls actually do include some vets who served honorably. Mostly the usual irreverant and irrelavent hippies with their foul-mouthed children and granchildren but just enough actual vets to give them some standing in the community.

Most irritating bunch of humanoids on the planet perhaps only slightly nudged out by the creeps from KS. Maybe.

It’s just a shame we can’t shoot them….with water guns.

Is there audio for Perry admitting he was talking shit?

JP

Why didn’t Ahmadingbat just take them back to use as his personal eunuchs?

Green Thumb

Losers.

I just look and laugh then shake my head. In their minds they think they’re relative to anything important. In my mind they’re Whatthef#cks in training!

no correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t actively trying to subvert legitimate political or military goals of the United States fall under the title of “treason”

Treason, Doc? Under this administration, they’re more likely to be nomonated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Nominated. Need more java.

Can you remove Jim Goodnow from that list? The man is dead.

And that matters precisely why, AS? A lie remains a lie, even after the liar has died.

“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” Goodnow should have remembered that in life.

OWB

Oooh – what a great idea, Jonn!

If they really wanted to do something constructive….well I guess it’s impolite to suggest what I had intended to write. Let’s just leave it at “sic semper tyrannis” actually being correctly used in this instance.

NHSparky

He’s dead…Jim.

@20-There always has to be one.

I suppose I just try not to speak ill of the dead. It seems unsporting, because they can’t fight me back. It might be a personal preference thing.

USMCE8Ret2012

What? Adam Kokesh isn’t included with this group?

OWB

There is an important distinction between speaking ill of the dead just for the sake of it and someone dying after having done things for which they were spoken ill of during their life. What, are we supposed to change history when someone dies??

How would we justify US independence, for instance, if we cannot speak of the reasons for the resistance against King George?

Why does someones death mean that they can no longer be spoken truthfully about? If the guy was a poser when he was breathing, may he not rest in peace. Amazing how many outright phonies and or malingering asswipes end up looking for fame as protestors.
