Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate and now the darling who plays guitar on Fox News, wants to engage in mass murder. “The U.S. should support an Israeli military strike against Iranian nuclear installations if the Jewish state, fearing diplomacy has failed, ultimately takes that course of action, stated former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee,” reports WorldNetDaily.
Asked whether the U.S. should support an Israeli strike, Huckabee replied, “Absolutely.”
“We’ve got to remember that for Iran, Israel is not the primary target. The United States is. They see [Israel] as certainly an enemy,” Huckabee said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Huckabee “has made clear that he would like to wipe them off the face of the earth.”
In fact, Ahmadinejad never said this. “Imam [Khomeini] said: This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history,” the Iranian leader said.
Not that it matters. The neocons — and Huckabee is a neocon — will repeat discredited lies and invent fabrications in order to attack Iran. Supposed Tea Party luminary Sarah Palin also supports the idea of slaughtering Iranian school children and grandmothers.
“True to form, she is, so far, the only politician willing to touch the hot potato of the political implications of bombing Iran,” writes the Muslim hater Daniel Pipes for the neocon house organ, the National Review Online, the web version of the magazine founded by CIA operative Bill Buckley (the “conservative” worked for the CIA’s covert Special Activities Division). The magazine is so popular it has lost $25 million over 50 years, according to Buckley.
It should be noted that Tea Party Sarah also writes for the National Review and NRO. She is apparently right at home with other contributors from the American Enterprise Institute, the criminal organization that played an instrumental role in the invasion of Iraq (current death toll over a million people).
Is Mike Huckabee really a psychopath or is he simply sucking up to the neocons?
I guess we will have wait for the war crimes trial after the U.S. attacks Iran to find out.
