TYT: Defense Industry Whores Release Nuclear Iran Ad To Scare America



"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the advertisement made by former senators that shows what they think will happen if current Iran negotiations succeeds.

A number of former senators created and funded by the American Security Initiative, a defense contractor created the advertisement for a reported $500,000. The ad features a van that moves through New York City until it comes to a parking lot and explodes into a title that demands viewers contact people in Washington D.C. to ask President Barack Obama not to negotiate with Iran.

This video is seen as propaganda that attempts to undermine nuclear talks with Iran that are currently on going in Sweden. The nuclear talks between the U.S. and its allies and Iran have the expected out come to reduce Iran's nuclear program and keep nuclear weapons out of their hands."

Is the advertisement right, or did it go too far? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

in the Middle East over the past 100 years, I can imagine they're far more afraid of us (US) than we need to fear them.

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The situation is a bit different, I think. The video bears that title containing the questionable word. The person who has posted the video probably did not name it, so I don't think that poster deserves a hide simply for contributing to the Video and Mutlimedia Forum.
