dignity is our hair of the day so who is the villain that would be none other than a man named patrick clawson a lobbyist for the washington institute for near east studies now according to their website they're open to see the emergence of a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east. and this in a writer who wouldn't want a peaceful and prosperous middle east well check out what he had to say recently. it's very hard for me to see how the united states. president can get us to war with iraq. which leads me to conclude that if in fact conference is not coming that the traditional way of merit america gets to war is what would be best for u.s. interests if in fact the iranians aren't going to compromise it would be best to somebody else started the war what if the iranians are going to compromise would be best if someone else started the war is anyone listening to this war mongering hawks like clawson are openly calling for the us to strike iran first in order to jump start world war three oh but it gets better. i mean look people are ready and submarines periodically go down someday one

to use it to misuse it for their own interests ok let me go if i go back to you a few days ago patrick clawson he's been a guest on this program he's a director of research at the pro israel think tank the washington institute for near east policy and he said publicly if the iranians aren't going to compromise it would be best if someone else started the war now maybe if netanyahu doesn't take this seriously and maybe it's just a cover as you point out and i tend to agree with you there are a lot of americans are take this very seriously does that worry you. well i think it's a worrisome one when people talk about war as though it was a game and and encourage people to go to war i think it's a very dangerous thing at the same time i would argue that that whether it's a pro zionist think tank whether it's a pac whether it's any of the other organizations that are kind of that are linked . to the state of israel i think they're all playing the same game i don't think. they they take this seriously in terms of thinking that there is really a threat i think they see this is a tremendous opportunit
