Oh Man, Do I Hate Glenn Beck!!!
So, he's going off on Tony Blair for being a wimp to Iran. In sum, he wanted Blair to delcare war on Iran because of the captured soldiers, and he was disappointed that they didn't. Also, he says that we cannot count on Great Britain for the war on terror.

The volume of stupidity coming out of his mouth is astounding. It's really easy for someone to call for a war when they don't have to fight it nor have their loved ones fight it.

1. Agreed
It's what happens when stupid people with no real experience in anything in life are given platforms to say anything they choose.

4. I think Beck should personally declare war on Iran, and go over there to fight them.

6. I was bored last evening and caught some of his "show."
He and an "expert" were going on and on, beating the Iranian war drums. He said that Iran wished to show they were the true masters of the "Arab World." I think he meant "Islamic," since there are not many Arabs in Iran, being mostly a Persian and Kurdish country, but the "expert" did not dare correct him.
Moron.
He never considered how the Shah was propped up by the US/UK and the many crimes of SAVAK and how the country was bled dry by Angloamerican oil companies when it should have gone to the people, how the US armed Iraq in the Iraqi-Iranian War and how now Iran is encircled by the Stans and Iraq with US "advisors" and bases.
Actually, considering what the past US/UK history via Iran has been since WW II, I am amazed that fewer acts of outright violence directed to Western targets have occurred.
Shame that such a great nation has been held in thrall by old men in beards and black turbans since the Pahlavis got their comeuppance. . .

7. Beck Wants The U.S. To Fight A War Against All of Islam
Just not him or his children, thank you very much. Just send the poor kids who can't afford to go to college.

8. It has always been like that...those who beat the drums of war...
rarely, if ever go to war themselves.

Even among the Founders, not many of them were in the ranks, in fact, quite a few of them were running for their lives most of the time.

I say, give him some grenades and send him in...if you listen to these guys, if their heroics reach the same pitch as what they screech out of the studios, the war would be over in 24 hours, w/binLaden being brought back trussed up like a Christmas goose...:D
