Mike Wallace sits down with his new bestest buddy.  The leader of a nation that has sworn to wipe Isreal off the map.  One that states his nuclear ambitions are for civil not miltary uses. (wink wink)  A leader who is helping fuel a war by proxy with his declared enemy.  And Mike Wallce calls him <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060810/tv_nm/wallace_dc_1" target="_self">"Good Looking and Savvy".  </a>How about a lunatic that is trying to build a nuclear weapon to achieve Nuclear Jihad.  Does Mike Wallace really hate America that much?  Die already you old windbag!  Ironic how how CBS was jerked around and told half truths about this guy's "availibilty", until CBS says lets go home.  Then it's "No No No stay stay, we make time for you."  Just like they are jerking off the rest of the world and the Useless Nonfactors.  The radical Muslim world, has no purpose but to rid the world of non believers, and CBS is stupid enough to eat it up with a fork, giving audience to thier lies.

"He's actually, in a strange way, he's a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking in a strange way," Wallace said. "He's very, very short but he's comfortable in his own skin."No homo?

The man is just getting an interview with one of the world's most dangerous men.I surely want to hear what he has to say.  I want to know what he's thinking. Wallace is a reporter, and as crazy as it sounds, they should conduct their interviews, no matter who it is, with no bias towards their own beliefs.He interviewed Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 during the American hostage crisis.  I don't see that as anti-American, but ballsy and brave.

I only question why this piece of shit's lies will be presented as a news story?  Oh yeah the Iranian is a liar too.  Give these fuckers no audience and give them no quarter.  We have been listening to lies from these bastards for far too long.  Remember he is "Savvy".  I'll bet money that CBS tries to paint some "human" aspesct to his promises of death and destruction.  Carnies and Rubes boys and girls.  Carnies and Rubes.

Seriously, I would give any journalist the benefit of the doubt until I see the interview.  And yes, even if we don't like it...it is news what this wackjob has to say.  It was news when Esquire interviewed Osama Bin Laden in February 1999.  It is the job of the journalist to present the story.  And if I wanted carnies and rubes, I'd turn on Fox News.  That's as fucking slanted and as irrational as Al Jazzera.

(wink wink) A leader who is helping fuel a war by proxy with his
declared enemy.Ogre, whatever you do for a living, dont get into the news business. You couldnt recognize a good story if it hit you in the head. And Mike Wallce calls him <a target="_self" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060810/tv_nm/wallace_dc_1">"Good Looking and Savvy". </a>How about a lunatic that is trying to build a nuclear weapon to achieve Nuclear Jihad. Well if he did that, he would have zero credibility as an objective newsman who's trying to get at the facts, and becomes just another partisan whos already made up his mind and isn't interested in any facts that dont support his preconcieved notions. A good journalist will interview anyone, hit them with the questions their critics would ask, and let the public decide who's right and who's wrong. Anyone who is afraid of that (as you are) seems to me to not be confident he can win that fight. And BTW you're wrong about that, too.  If the Iranian president wanted a softball interview, he could have called Larry King. By agreeing to talk to Mike Wallace, who is known for asking the toughest questions imaginable, tells me he feels he has a strong case to make. We'll see if he does or doesnt.

Once again a distinguished CBS reporter is letting his personal politics ruin his legacy and reputation.  I don't want to hear that he's unbiased.  He is biased.  He thinks that someone who proudly vows to wipe Isreal off the face of the Earth (among other things) is valid and a good guy.  He's going for ratings and trying to advance his (and the CBS) political agenda.  There's no other possible explanation.

Never!He might be crazy or he might just want to protect his nation like others do. Who's to say that USA, GB and Israel should be the only ones with nuclear weapons? The same shit you say and feel about them, is the exact same thing they feel about us and what we do. Dont you think that most in the middle east thinks Bush and the prime minister of Israel are terrorist? Of course they do. Now that being said I would rather we protect ourselves and at the same time stop backing Israel all the time and just mind our business and let them fight it out.

I've rarely agreed w/ Campo on any religious/political issues so far but we agree on this.I've said for years why I thought it was ridicuous that we can deiced who can and cant have nuclear weapons. Especially when they cant reach us.We agree whole-heartedly on us backing Israel. What have they ever done for us other than spy on us or refuse to extradite a murderer.Yet we rush weapons to them as soon as they ask despite not being able to get our own soldiers what they need.Its considered irrational, as it should be, when a man/woman, walks into a place and blows it up kiling civilians but there's no problem when an Isreal airstrike kills 50, including as many innocents as that bombing, done in the name of fishing out terrorists.One day, most unfortunately, we are going to pay a bad price for keeping our nose in this thing instead of letting them handle it themselves.

But I dont think they really hate jews because they are jews. I think what they hate is Israel for how they got their land and that they illegaly occupy a lot of land. IMHO iI think if Israel would follow the UN laws based on their land and other unlawful settled land then I think a lot of this shit would stop. I also think Israel sells to us that they are on the defensive but they are also on the attack and offensive more then we are told. Why I have no idea. But watch this video from another thread. <a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/Forum/87/Topic/51755/page/middle_east_vs__Israel">http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/Forum/87/Topic/51755/page/middle_east_vs__Israel</a>

The Wallace interview has been such jolly good fun.Always entertaining when the carefully crafted stereotype turns out to be false and they are confronted with reality.Here we have this Iranian dyude turning out to not be a raving lunatic so they do what they always do --- shoot the messenger.

I believe that it is wrong to give this man airtime to somehow "humanize" what has been a voice of hate and violence.  Both ArmandHammer and Wallace did a good job in exploiting the prime time they had.  Big A knew enough to look humble and calm and Wallace knew enough not to toss softballs.  It has been widely published in the AP and other wires about A's past declarations of wiping countries and cultures from the earth.  Namely the West.  He counters this by coming off as a man of reason.  So you think "Hey this guy aint so bad."  Meanwhile the country that he runs bankrolls active terrorist organizations, that are sworn enemies of the US and other western countries.  But Wallace and CBS try and make him somehow seem rational right in your own living room.  A living room that his peeps would love to destroy.  I realize the journalistic signifcance of this, but it smells of politics too.  BTW I am not a moron.  I heard some of you whispering..Peace

So of course they will be cheering on hezzbola. I never heard Iran say anything about western nations, I have heard them talk about Israel however and like I said to them Israel is the enemy.You talk about Big A saying that Iran is a peaceful nation but they support hezzbola. Well arent we the USA a peaceful nation? Yes, and we support Israel and give them more money and more weapons than we give any other nation. So are we terroists because we support a country (Israel) that the maority of the world thoguth was wrong in this last conflict? I say no. Someone also stated that he didnt give 1 straight answer. Well does any politican? No not american nor foreign.I take the interview with a grain of salt. I think Wallace asked some hard uestions, but was also playful at times. I think he had to be in order to get the interview. Do I think he is as calm and nice as he came accross? No. But somethings he said are tru. 1 America did stop the talks with Iran for the past 20 years. 2 He did reach out to talk a few weeks ago with no answer from Bush, now even if he was full of shit about what he wanted to talk about bush stll should have talked to see what could be done. 3 he stated that them wanting nuclear energy for energy only not weapons, do I believe that NO. But he was dead on what right does America have to tell other coutries they can not have nuclear weapons or energy yet the USA, UK have it and we give technology to Israel for nuclear weapons. (Isreal may even have nuclear weapons I'm not positive about this) At the end of the day I think we all need to understand that America is the greatest country in the world and for years we were the country loved by most. But the past 6 years our foreign policies have made us hated. I think it can be fixed, but not with Bush as president because hes so closed minded about things and will not meet people in the middle. We can not force our lifestyles or beliefs on others and the quicker we understand this I think the better the world would be. We have enough things to do to fix our own backyards.
