The 24/7 images, sound effects, yelling and threatening were an ever-present drumbeat for war. We had to invade, and we had to invade now.. anyone who didn't see that was a traitor. They viciously attacked those of us who worked to get out the truth. You'd think that with the complete failure in Iraq, those days would be behind us. Sadly, you'd be wrong. FOX wants war with Iran. It's almost too ridiculous to believe, but it's shockingly real. We've already compiled over 4 hours of FOX footage just in the last few months... the same images, sound effects, yelling and threatening that led the U.S. to invade Iraq is happening right now to sell a war with Iran. They are saying the exact same things!! Here is the video evidence, side-by-side with what they said about Iraq. Watch FOX Attacks: Iran <http://foxattacks.com/iran?utm_source=rgemail> [site loads slow, and you may have to hit "Play Again" before video plays at all] This time is different though. We're prepared, and we have the means to alert people to what FOX is doing. Everyone has seen the terrible tragedy and the awful price paid by so many Iraqis and Americans. We know this is coming, and we can stop it. It was about this time in the lead-up to the Iraq war when the other TV networks started following FOX's lead. As CNN's Christiane Amanpour says in the video, they were intimidated by FOX into cheerleading for the Iraq war. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. This is a critical moment, and we must send a message to the major television networks urging them to ask tough questions, be skeptical, and tell us what is really happening. They must not follow FOX down the road to another war. We've put together an open letter to the networks. Will you sign it? Sign the letter: http://foxattacks.com/iran?utm_source=rgemail Please forward this message to everyone you know. We must raise our voices now. This is so important, we cannot let history repeat itself. Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Films team P.S.

You must provide all the information needed in the "marketplace of ideas". Without it we will perish. You can not prevent a nuclear holocaust by starting a nuclear war, for a war with Iran can only be a nuclear war, as the supposed targets are too well protected for conventional weapons. Pass the word. Thanks.
