Countdown Thursday: Showdown with Iran

Posted: Thursday, October 25, 2007 8:59 PM by Countdown
Filed Under:

David Shuster in for Keith tonight...

In The Line of Firings:  Our fifth story on the Countdown: The Bush administration, once again is beating the drums of war... this time against Iran. And from the "way-back file," Hans Blix, the former chief weapons inspector of the United Nations -- remember him? -- he says President Bush is over-reacting. Meanwhile, President Putin of Russia... says the U-S is painting Iran into a corner. To paraphrase Yogi Berra... could this be Deja Vu all over again?

Sir Rudy of 9/11: Rudy Giuliani's private testimony before the September 11th Commission was not supposed to see the light of day until after the '08 election. Parts of it have leaked... and the words of Candidate Rudy versus Mayor Rudy don't have nearly the same bravado. Giuliani's real terror credentials...

ODDBALL: Dick Cheney caught sleeping, need we say more?

Fires Still Burning:  Hurricane Katrina hit on a Sunday night. The President flew over the devastated city Wednesday - on his way back to Washington DC. Tonight in our third story on the Countdown - the President has now learned, if not the actual lesson of that blunder, then the P-R lesson. The wildfires in Southern California started raging out of control on Sunday night. But this time - President Bush was on the ground today. More on that visit in a moment.

Don't Taze me Bro!  When it comes to taking a stand and raging against the machine, getting tasered by campus police during a John Kerry speech isn't exactly on a par with facing-down a tank in Tiananmen Square. Still, our number two story set off a 50-thousand volt controversy last month, spreading like wildfire on the internet, and triggering a flood of argument over free speech, police power and the right to act a bit nutty in public.  Kerry Sanders has the latest on the "bro" who refused to go quietly.


Down Goes Osmond:  Blame it on diet pills. Blame it on divorce. Even blame it on Rio. But for heaven's sake, Marie Osmond, don't blame your fainting spell on the California fires. In our number one story on the Countdown, the analysis of Ms. Osmond's falling-out continues full-throttle, with the oddest assessment coming from... Ms. Osmond.

Krista - Sure Meier is a publicity hound but when did that become a crime.  He is certainly no worse than coultergiest and people put up with here nonsense without tazing her.  Of course she would probably enjoy it.  I think the real point of this story is when did being annoying become a crime and what is excessive force.  Every week there is a story about someone inappropriatly being tazed.  There was even a story of a man holding a baby being tazed and dropping the baby.  We have become so frightened of each other in this country we allow police to do what ever they want.  I know some policemen and they are nice guys but they all they like the authority a little to much.

Mark in AZ: History will prove Bush right on Iraq and a lot of other issues? Do you mean like the way history showed LBJ and Nixon to be right about Viet Nam? Or will history show Bush to be right about his crackpot econmoics? But back to Iraq. Here's a checklist for you of what Bush has gotten WRONG about Iraq already:
1) Saddam Hussein has ties to Al Qaeda
2) Saddam Hussein has WMDS
3) We'll be greeted as Liberators
4) The war could last 6 days 6 weeks I doubt 6   months
5) We know the WMDS are in and around Baghdad and Tikrit and to the North, South, East, and West
(that's my favorite)
6) The insurgency is in it's last violent throes.
7) I'm from Texas "bring em on"
8) Iraq has sought to buy yellowcake uranium from Africa
9) By fighting them over there we won't have to fight them here. Question: How are the insurgents supposed to get here, swim ?
Compared with this list off the top of my head what else will history reveal; over the course of time; that Bush has gotten wrong?
Of course I haven't touched upon the culture of corruption, looting of the treasury, war profiteering, crackpot economics, appointing ideological firebrands to The Supreme Court, Terri Schiavo, Katrina, Gitmo etc.
So just how will History prove this Jethro Bodine of Presidents  right about anything?

I am afraid for the long term affect these fires will have on people. At risk are always the very young, and the very old. But us in the middle, also have a great risk. Those particles in the air, chemicals released and other yucky things we breathe, will all take it's toll on folks health. Those people with compromised respiratory problems..asthma for instance, are at risk now. It's one thing to watch out for. This may prove to be almost as dangerous as the folks exposed the aftermath of 9/11.

Mark in AZ: Are we  safer without Saddam Hussein and his sons in power in Iraq? I say no. At least he was a buffer against the Iranians. Yeah he was a brutal S.O.B. but he was contained and not a threat to us.
Are we safer being in the middle of a proxy war between the Saudis and the Iranians?
As for Iranians, Venezuelans, and, Cubans being ruled by lunatics you might want to put us in that mix too!
By advocating torture you are showing just how profoundly ignorant you are.
These times we live in are no more perilous than the cold war. Remember when there were THOUSANDS OF NUCLEAR MISSILES pointed at us? I do.
We have faced fanatic suicide bombers before and did not torture their allies.
Did we torture German or Japanese POWS? No! We treated them humanely. All they wanted was to rule the world from Berlin and Tokyo.
When we torture captives, hold them without charges,
when we disappear people we become as evil as the jihadists say we are.
What part of that don't you understand?

Please don't be *that* way to the "Don't Taze me Bro!" guy.  

The video shows ~ 6 cops carrying a guy out of a room and then *stop* and taze him.  Nobody deserves that.  

Maybe it saved one of the cops a bruise, but nobody in the world thinks that protester guy was about to get away.  There were 40 feet away from being out of the hall.  

But I think the worst is the media storm and ridicule.  Again nobody deserves that, at least not to this level.  

It seems like the same people that complain that this generation doesn’t step up treat this guy like he deserved what he got.   So what if he isn't the perfect martyr.  HE was out there and doing something.   **Any reasonable person should now pause before doing anything other than most polite protesting.**  Even Countdown makes him the butt of jokes and can’t give him some credit for the good he was trying to do.  I don’t care that he might be a somewhat crazy jerk.  I don’t know if I agree with what he was saying, but I don’t care.  He could be mean to puppies and that wouldn’t have anything to do with this.  

I don’t want us in Iran.  I want out of Iraq.  I want a country where hundreds of thousands of college students like "Don't Taze me Bro!" show up and change the debate.  It’s all got to start with one of two protesters.

I say illegal, shmillegal.  I realize there's a law about corporate sponsorship, but heck, Comedy Central and Frito Lay don't have axes to grind with anybody.  I wish myself Colbert would get sponsorships from Bud Lite and Gorton seafood (especially their beer battered shrimp).  In fact, I'm thinking about moving to SC to see if they can't use a wonky old psychic in the campaign.  Unless of course he sells out to big oil and/or Halliburton.

Another thing Colbert has going for him:  quite simply he's cuter than all of them except maybe Mike Gravel.  I have no problem whatsoever also with the idea of a REAL comedian in the WH; these jokers there now passed their sellby date back about 2001.
