NPR conflicts itself on Middle East coverage
I was surprised to hear NPR interview some US-based military consultant paid by Irmsrael to explain Iran's intentions with its missle attack yesterday.
Next they can interview Conagra or Monsanto to discuss the health and slimness benefits of high fructose corn syrup.
The NPR interviewer started with a layup, asking why Iran would do something that appeared to show they were "impotent," since the missles all got shot down by the "secret" defense technology.
The US consultant replied that Iran intended and hoped to do real damage!
Even I know about the defense technology. Obviously the Iranian military people do, since they've fired rounds of unsuccessful missles before.
Considering the assassination of non-Iranian political leaders on Iranian and most recently Lebanese soil (using US supplied weapons, it's obvious that Iran used restraint in the face of international law violations.
You can be sure more 2000 pound bombs will fall killing hundreds or thousands more in the next first mover retaliation.
Please: Iran—continue your restraint. You obviously understand that you're up against an endless supply of US super weapons, and political forces that will use them all when a pin drops, or when impotent missiles never reach the ground.
A million eyes for an eye will get us all killed. Shame on the US for abetting this infantile version of warped natural law. And NPR: next time ask the general who led troops into Soweto to explain Mandella's thinking. Ask the CIA to explain their innocence in Laos and Cambodia (actually, that's all you did at the time.). Ask Lehman Brothers to explain how they were victims of 2008. Ask Trump to explain how Mark Meadows is a liar.
Great journalism like this—you can do it forever, if you don't become obese.
Rule number 1 of my expectations of journalists: if donuts are served at the press conference where you sole-source a story, you can't use what you're taught. The article is not credible.
