Mike Evans Interview: Bomb Iran to help your ratings

Early February, on "Insights" Robert Herriman directed our attention to Daniel Pipes advice to President Obama: invade Iran.¹

Now on Conservative Talk Show Host, Michael Medved's show, Mike Evans offers similar advice: invade Iran to help your ratings.

 

Medved is a Conservative host based in Seattle and mixes in Pop Culture with political diatribe. Mike Evans is touring the various shows to promote his new book "Atomic Iran: Countdown to Armageddon"

 

Evans discussed the following:

 

• Sanctions for Iran to directly cutoff the Revolutionary Guard


• 100% certainty Israel will act


• America can assist Israel with "plausible deniability"


• Since Obama's ratings are low, he should consider bombing Iran

Got that: Plausible Deniability and help your ratings, Mr. President - the right will line up to support you bomb Iran.

 

Even Evans sputtered after suggesting that Obama can recover from his plummetting ratings by bombing Iran directly or aiding the Israeli effort.

 

Whether or not you support Israel, which I do, don't you find it disturbing that the motivations to intercede with the Iranian nuclear program would be approval ratings?

 

Truly disturbing.

 

I'm even more disturbed at the Biblical insinuations without scriptual context. Evans is a practicing fearmonger irresponsibly justifying violence against Iran.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Let's hope that Mr. Obama doesn't listen to the advice of this neocon

Iranian Expanding Nuclear Program with Hostage Distraction

Iranian government has ordered their country's Atomic Energy Organization to build 10 more nuclear enrichment sites, thumbing their nose at the UN. This is after the board of governors of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency vote 25-3 demanding that Iran immediately stop operations at the nuclear facility in Qom that recently was uncovered.

"Demanded" - that made me snicker when I read it.

Now Iran has returned to their favorite diplomatic tool: hostage negotiation.

This time five Britons were being held and as usual, the Iranian regime is claims that these people broke the law (in this case by wandering into Iran's territorial waters)and denounces them as spies.

These hostages were released Wednesday morning.

So is it a distraction from their nuclear program?

After the press officially ignored the Iranian progress, the detainees were released.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said world powers had made no progress over the last year in settling concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

"It is now well over a year since the agency was last able to engage Iran in discussions about these outstanding issues. We have effectively reached a dead end." - El Baradei

Dead end.

Obama's diplomacy was supposed to correct this...

Different President, same results. Anyone else see a pattern forming?
