'Tehran' Rosie ... 'Tokyo' Rosie ... or just 'Tell-it-like-it-is' Rosie ...

Rosie O'Donnell (left ... while wondering, "oooh ... should I have said that?") seems to be taking a lot of heat for her latest PC-NOT remarks, although this time she seems to be hitting close to the vortex of the truth in a number of sensitive areas.

Don't get me wrong ... I too find a lot of what Rosie says to be "crude, rude, cruel and abusive" (to quote a close friend of mine) ... but the truth will simply have to be told one of these days as we drift further and further towards an all-out war in the Middle East.

Few will argue now that the events of 9-11 are directly linked to our invasion of Iraq (even if the attackers on 9-11 weren't connected in any way with Iraq) and the events of the past two weeks in Iran will ultimately be linked to an attack against Tehran (although neither the British seamen/woman who might have accidentally strayed in and out of Iranian waters are in no way connected to any such desires for an attack).

But Rosie O'Donnell is certainly the least likely candidate for tying the events together in a possibly too-close-to-the-truth manner so as to jeopardize both her own career and the well laid plans of the Neocons in Washington who have watched their actions moving along in a methodical manner since George Bush entered office in January of 2001.

The right-wing talking heads are beside themselves with ugly remarks about Rosie and others who oppose the direction that the US is drifting ... that make each of them sound more and more like Joe McCarthy in his hey-day.

As online petitions are floating about to have ABC cancel Rosie's The View ... and while those of us who are totally opposed to the continuing painful occupation of Iraq are being called "unpatriotic' ... and worse, it is more important than ever to hold true to the course of openness and ask for the truth to be told ... about (yes) Building 7 -- official cause of collapse stated as "unknown" in the 9-11 Commission Report -- and the peculiar events leading up to and following "Shock and Awe."

I might wish for Rosie to be less crude in her raves (and less vociferous in her nonsensical feud with Donald Trump), but I support her courage in trying to highlight the truth as she sees it when she has the podium.
