Ted Turner: U.S. and Israel Should Disarm to Prevent Nuclear Iran

Appearing as a guest on Thursday's Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, the news network's founder, Ted Turner, complained that a double standard exists between the U.S. and Israel being allowed to possess nuclear weapons while Iran is expected to be nuclear-free, as he suggested that all countries dispose of their nuclear weapons to persuade Iran not to build such weapons.

After host Piers Morgan asked Turner what he would do about Iran if he were President, the CNN founder absurdly complained that Iran was being held to a different standard than Israel, without either he or Morgan noting Iran's support of terrorism against both Israel and the U.S. Turner:

This guy is out of his freakin' mind if he believes they would do anything more than lie about their intentions towards compliance.

I see why he hung out with Hanoi Jane.

lol we've got over 100 military bases surrounding Iran, but they're the ones posturing and aggressive. Our foreign policy positions create the foreign troubles. We shouldn't have been in Iran in the 40's-50's screwing everything up. Shouldn't have armed and funded the mujahdeen and the taliban from the 80s-90s. But Americans are too stupid to realize their policies are what cause the problems, not what solves them.

Must have gone to the Jimmy Carter School of Forien Policy (Jane is on the board). Not only do they not understand forien policy, they don't understand, that they don't understand forien policy. Would be worse than the Camp David accords. Say, how is that working out?
