The Journey
When is America going to wake up - Israel is the problem
Sun, January 11, 2009 - 5:44 AMWASHINGTON – President George W. Bush rejected a plea from Israel last year to help it raid Iran's main nuclear complex, opting instead to authorize a new U.S. covert action aimed at sabotaging Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program, The New York Times reported.
Israel's request was for specialized bunker-busting bombs that it wanted for an attack that tentatively involved flying over Iraq to reach Iran's major nuclear complex at Natanz, where the country's only known uranium enrichment plant is located, the Times reported Saturday in its online edition. The White House deflected requests for the bombs and flyover but said it would improve intelligence-sharing with Israel on covert U.S. efforts to sabotage Iran's nuclear program.
The covert efforts, which began in early 2008, involved plans to penetrate Iran's nuclear supply chain abroad and undermine electrical systems and other networks on which Iran relies, the Times said, citing interviews with current and former U.S. officials, outside experts and international nuclear inspectors who spoke on condition of anonymity. The covert program will be handed off to President-elect Barack Obama, who will deciding whether to continue it.
Things changed in South Africa. Things can change in Israel too but we need to not ignore our part in sanctioning the oppression of the Palestinian people.

The Bully Israel
You know the short kid in school who was overly aggressive and had a short temper, the one that would bully the other kids, even though at least a foot shorter? That's what Israel is like, except the little bully has big friends.
Bullshit, indeed! Where's that spray? |

I don't understand how your first and second paragraphs fit together.
To me, the second seems to undermine the first. |

As I understand the article, Israel was pressuring the US to allow them to do missions into Iran and our MR BUSHIE said, "no, we will conduct covert missions deep into Iran to sabotage their nuclear capabilities. So, now we have no trouble admitting we are messing internally with all sort of country, escalating this whole problem ten fold. WE ARE TO BLAME for so much of this terrorism. We invade any country we want. It doesn't have to be a declaration of war or approved by the world community. WHAT really separates us from Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union? It used to be that at least we maintained some semblance of respect for national boundaries and self-determination. All that is out the window. Its perpetual war, folks...

But still, conducting covert missions is very different from flying into foreign airspace to drop bombs, isn't it?

Israel bombed Iraq in behalf of the US
I need to check the dates and who was President, but they conducted an aerial bombardment of a reactor in Iraq.
But acts of war are OK when perpetrated by Israel, because "God gave their land to us" The only president to stand up to Israel was Jimmy Carter, who called Menachem Begin when he invaded Lebanon and said he would suspend arms shipments and introduce a resolution condemning Israel in the UN. Begin folded, but... After Reagan came in, he re-invaded. Not all Jews are Zionists. Not all Zionists are Jews. |

more Israeli monstrosities
JERUSALEM – Human Rights Watch said Sunday that Israel's military has fired artillery shells with the incendiary agent white phosphorus into Gaza and a doctor there said the chemical was suspected in the case of 10 burn victims who had skin peeling off their faces and bodies.
Then to see the blind supporters of Israell (I mean Israel can do no wrong) with their banners of "Hamas targets Civilians, Israel targets only Hamas" which, given the huge number of Palestinian deaths compared to those suffered by the Israelis, is just patently false. WAKE UP AMERICA. Israel is the problem. The rest of the world sees it. The UN sees it. Human rights groups see it. We are so stupid. |
