Cenk Uygur destroys the ‘defense industry whores’ pushing for war with Iran



In a new video from The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur lit into “defense industry whores” who will do anything they can to force the United States into a military engagement with Iran.

Uygur began by berating former Democratic senator Evan Byah for collaborating with a group that produced “one of the worst fear-mongering ads that I’ve ever seen.”

“It’s about our negotiations with Iran — and the point of those negotiations is that they don’t get nukes, and they can verify, absolutely positively, that they will not have nukes,” he continued. “This ad, of course, lies and says the exact opposite — that if we strike a peace deal with them and can verify that they don’t have nukes, they will get nukes.”

The video — entitled “Special Delivery” — was produced by the American Security Initiative and was intended to be played during the Sunday morning political talk shows. However, ABC, NBC, and CBS declined to play, leaving Fox News as the only network to air the video.

“I can guarantee you that this video,” which depicts a nuclear weapon in a van exploding in an American city, “was funded by defense contractors who actually do want a war [with Iran] so they can get richer.”

All this stuff with Iran dates back to us helping to overthrow the existing government structure to install our puppet. We did it because we wanted free access to their oil, and the "Shah" we put in let us have it. In addition this guy was a brutal dictator.

This of course led to the revolution and the hostage crisis that got the "Death Valley Days" actor elected president - with the added help of the "October Surprise".
