GOP Group's Ad: Bomb Iran

[Scurrilous]

“Now it's time to act.” Wait for the launch the end.

"The Emergency Committee for Israel, the hawkishly pro-Israel conservative group, has released a new ad targeting the Obama administration's Iran policies, calling for immediate action to put an end to the country's nuclear program.

The "significant" ad buy will air in New York and Washington DC beginning today, on Sunday political shows, and during weekend sporting events, with additional markets to follow next week, according to the group.

The ad comes as the next round of nuclear talks with Iran will take place in Moscow next week, discussions that have yielded little in the past. The Obama administration has maintained that it has instituted the toughest sanction's yet on the country, though ECI, citing the International Atomic Energy Agency, says that in the meantime Iran has enriched enough Uranium to build five nuclear bombs.

"President Obama has spent four years talking, Iran has spent four years building," the narrator says ominously. “Obama is still talking, and Iran has enough fuel for five nuclear bombs...Talking isn’t working. It’s time to act — before it’s too late.”

The People Who Brought You The Iraq War Release A New Ad: Bomb Iran

<snip>

"The Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI) released a new ad today suggesting that the U.S. should immediately bomb Iran. Among those behind the ECI and its ad are the same people who pushed the U.S. into the Iraq war.

The ad from ECI, a group which aims to push pro-Israel voters away from President Obama and is headed up by Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, tells viewers in its new commercial that Obama is insufficiently committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and concludes, “Now it’s time to act,” followed by an explosion.

ECI’s reflexive hawkishness stems from its hard-right neoconservative disposition. The organization was even born in the same Washington office as the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI), a short-lived right-wing pressure group that pushed for an Iraq invasion. A major player in the Iraq war push, Kristol, for his part, already called for a war with Iran last October.

ECI, whose board members and director have a history of exhorting acts of violence, ignores U.S., U.N., and Israeli intelligence findings in their efforts for yet another U.S. war in the Middle East — this time with Iran.

In Israel, meanwhile, a growing consensus has emerged among former top security officials that a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities would be counterproductive to Israeli interests. And a report last month suggests that the consensus opposing an Israeli attack on Iran extends all the way to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defense chiefs."

1. And Rmoney's favorite

Billionaire wants to protect Israel. Why doesn't he go there and use his fucking money to help Israel instead of fucking buying our government. I don;t trust Nut N Yahoo as far as I can throw him. Wouldn't be surprised if he too is sending money to Rmoeny.

some of Israel's American boosters have dual citizenship, not sure about Adelson but it wouldn't surprise me either, I have read Rahm Emanuel has dual citizenship and has served in IDF
