Hack Thy Name is Glenn Greenwald.

Here is hero of the Nutroots Glenn Greenwald getting his facts wrong as usual.
Greenwals is trying to blow spitballs at Tom Freidman’s Iran assessment but barely gets two paragraphs into his ditribe before going completely off the rails.
Tom Friedman’s latest declaration of war - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com
“it’s a country whose defense spending is less than 1% of our own, has never invaded another country, and could not possibly threaten us”
Iran “never invaded another country”….? Really Glenn?
It took one of Greenwald’s more astute commenters to correct Greenwald’s fact out of the ass-ery.
Iran has never invaded another country?
This just goes to show the short memory of your average liberal. Iran invaded Greece not once, but twice in the 5th century BC. In fact, Iran (sure, it was called Persia then) was a scourge in the eastern Mediterranean. My god, they even invaded India! Iran has invaded most of its neighbors at some point in the past 2500 years. This is the truth Glenn Greenwald doesn’t want you to know.
I wonder if Glenn Greenwald remembers 9-11 when a group of Saudis killed 2,974 Americans, he must not if he believes Iran “could not possibly threaten us”. Greenwald doesn’t say Iran poses little or even very little threat, he says Iran “could not possibly threaten us “.
This is the danger and delusion of the liberal / progressive foreign policy mindset.
