The obvious question which should be asked is 'under what legal pretense would the U.S. attack Iran?' Iran has attacked NO ONE. Iran has not declared war on ANYONE. If these peace talks "fail," fault can be laid directly at the feet of the U.S. government and its Israeli/Saudi fellow travelers for doing all they can to make SURE the negotiations fail.

Next time, Julia, go ask GLENN GREENWALD to argue on your behalf. Glenn knows how to smack-down O'Donnell and leave him shaking in fits of outrage of getting owned on his own show. Tyrants like O'Donnell are easy to squash once you prepare for them. Another thing, Julia, the problem is not Putin or Russia. No need to qualify your statements by pointing out whose a "bad guy" and who isn't. Whatever your anti-Russian biases are, this has got NOTHING to do with Putin and Russia - per se - and EVERYTHING to do with the U.S. and Obama which are acting more like the former Soviet Union both domestically and internationally. Get your priorities straight and, next time, get better prepared for O'Donnell and be ready to pounce when the little lickspittle goes into his 'Holier Than Though' mode.

Is there any more proof needed that the Dems and GOP'ers are one in the same gang of thugs? Why would they issue such a proclamation WARNING the GOP of anything? If Paul is all they say he is, then would it not be prudent to ALLOW the GOP to laud Ron (thus smearing the GOP's supposed 'Good Name'?). If anything, this gaffe by the Dems clearly underlines the fact that in the 'Hot Button' issues (like Foreign Policy), they and the GOP are bed-fellows. Besides, what are the Dems all up in arms for anyway? Don't they realize this controlled (censored) so called 'Tribute' is nothing but a watered-down (and smarmy) attempt to garnish support from both the Paul delegates at Tampa and the general 'Ron Paul' supporters nationwide for Chancellor Romney (which he's NOT going to get)!? By doing this, the stupid Dems (just like their stupid co-horts in the GOP) only let the 'Cat Out of the Bag' by showing it's 'Statist' ass to its 'Party' faithful, many of which may now bolt the party FOR the 'Libertarian' movement. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

We'll see how much "praise" the U.S. gives its taskmaster, Israel, if this leads to another illegal invasion (which will in all probability ignite World War III).

I cannot understand why the Soviets would play ball with the U.S. regarding Iran. Russia is heavily invested in Iran and stands to lose the badly needed oil Iran possesses AND disrupt the vital IP pipeline which has already been delayed by U.S. meddling and war. I cannot see Russia going along with either crippling sanctions or an invasion simply because this would not be in her best interest. Maybe this is just dialogue meant to dissuade the U.S, and its taskmaster, Israel, from attacking Iran which would force a defense of Iran by both Russia and China (both of which have national interests in Iran).
