Filmmaker Oliver Stone: “We’re Coming Awfully Close” to War

Oliver Stone spoke yesterday about his new film “JFK Revisited, A Documentary,” with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti of “Breaking Points.” Here are some of his remarks:

“The Kennedy case is perhaps the most important case of American government that we’ve seen in the past 100 years. I can’t think of anything more important than his killing. Why? Because, since Kennedy was killed, no American President, not one—think about it—has been able to touch the military complex, or this intelligence agency complex. Budgets have gone up, up, up. It’s purposeless. Nobody says ‘Stop.’ Nobody says, ‘What about peace?’ Nobody talks about an alternative way of doing business in this country, a strategy for peace. No, it’s all about a strategy for tension.
