eyedrive1,

"AJ-"blind allegiance to Israel"? You didn't seriously say that did you?"

I should have used different words maybe? I was talking to J-whitman and those were the words he used. I just realy don't understand how the world deceided to make the state of Israel and how we became such tight allies.

Israel is a friend as long as they can buy our politicians!

where are all the al qaeda fighters we are fighting? Or did we bomb a farmer in the field and call him al qaeda or VC i get them mixed up with the current government and its lies?

AJ-"blind allegiance to Israel"? You didn't seriously say that did you? With our "blind allegiance" came not only the best, but the ONLY intel in the mid-east. Who else did you think provided it? Who speaks Arabic and is the only American ally in the M.E.? Israel has been watching and protecting themselves against terrorist acts for decades. They teach us anti-terrorism tactics. Ever notice Al-Al Airlines was never bombed? They teach us Airport security. I think it is clear what your wishes are as to Israeli security. I would be very glad I made the investment we have in Israel, they are great political friends, and military as well.

egypt and rome and germany and usa fell because they were too busy taxing the world when they were supposed to be feeding it

could the same happen again, tho next time the end will likely be the world exploded?

even with every soldier and police vigilant and conformed and looking for the world to explode: it would still explode ... and soldiers don't like to be vigilant and conformed and looking for the world to explode,

it seems the bus is destined for a ditch and it's a wonder it didn't find it tens of thousands of years ago

i figure hitler can't kill the jews without the front page, so if the proverbial jews are dying: then the front page belongs to the proverbial hitler ... if the prisons and wars are imbalanced, if the wallets and pocketbooks are imbalanced, if the naked are dressed or the dressed are naked, if the blemished or crippled are overzealous or overzealoused, then who has the front page? and wut is to come of them if the opposition cannot afford to tax the world lest caught not feeding it?

With its prime minister far away, the small town of Sderot is being battered non-stop by Qassam missiles .... the struggling Negev town of 20,000 inhabitants.

The Hamas threat to turn Sderot into a ghost town is coming true.

-radio, you're reviving the ghost from the Past. Doing what arse008 excells at doing. That was in june 2006.

-On a better news point of view, Israel is agreeing on a new Palestinian Authority government. Releasing to the newer government up to 400M$ of frozen taxes...

AJ,,, If it came to it, we would fight to our deaths & the deaths of our own families to preserve our own interpretation of our Freedoms... We have in the past, as should be expected from any self-respecting people in any nation.

AJ,, I've never been accused of having a good vocabulary... It's the Facts we need & right now they just don't add up --- Iran always has been the mortal enemy of the Taliban & Arab Al Quaeda..

Thanks for your reply, you see,, It's not hard to say Iraq's munitions, or Egypt's, or those from the UAE belong to Iran ---- Espceially with the intellegence history of this administration & they still deny Arab involvement & the dire need for showing any measure of credibility.

Obviously something didn't work,,,, like our blind alliegence to Isreal maybe while all those years ignoring thier neighbors they've been complaining about for every one of those 60 years.

That is one thing I don't ubderstand, our "blind alliegence to Isreal." I don't know why they were every allowed to be created. I don't side with the Palestinians, but I can see why they are mad; but they will never defeat Isreal and they would be better off just settleing for a state of they own and move on. The way they are going is just death and hardship for their people forever.

AJ,,, With Cheney's private contractors guarding the Ammo Dumps in Iraq,, How hard would it be to frame Iran with the ammunition ??? You being a marine should have a better knowledge of international weapons than I do.

Sorry J, I can't keep up with you. You guys vocabulary, typing, and factural skills are way better than mine.

As far as weapons and munitions go, some countries supply other countries with them, while others make there own. Markings, style, and different calibers are the major differences in them. Could we make something that looks like Iranian munitions; I guess we could if we wanted to. We could even buy some somewhere and use them to make it looked like the Iranians did something. You seem to be looking for another conspiracy.

AJ,,, Iraq was a deliberate diversion.... Think about it.... Things don't get this screwed up without a perfectly bad reason.

AJ - You are absoulty right, it is about the Middle East & a diversion from what every nation in the region says do both Arab, Persian, some Euroean & Asian nations also say , solve the problem with Isreal/Palestine - That is the cause of terrorism & anamosity against the west.

Yes, we where involved for over 60 years,,, Obviously something didn't work,,,, like our blind alliegence to Isreal maybe while all those years ignoring thier neighbors they've been complaining about for every one of those 60 years.

"AJ,,, I knew & most of us did know at the time that the 1st Gulf War was a victory, a major success that I supported strongly, & Iraq was no longer a threat for anyone...
. It destroyed all reasons Bush used to take us back into it"

J, I have said before, this is not just about Iraq, this is about the Middle East; Iraq is just a piece of the puzzle.

I as understand the thinking, we have had a policy in place for dealing with the Middle East for 60 years and it has got us nowhere. One of the reasons for taking out Saddam was that he thought of himself as the next Saliden(SP), the Palistians saw him as their big brother that was going to drive Israil into the sea and give them back their homeland; with him gone, they would have to make peace sometime.

Also, people say we had him contained; how long were we going to do that. It had been 12 years, he was defieing us and the UN, which is a joke in itself, and how long were we going to contain him and his sons? Your childrens lifetime, your grandchildrens lifetime? He needed to go for a number of reasons.

AJ,,, Can't stand by & let these people write the history, they've been trying to do just that painting Iraq War & the Terror War as the Big White God Campaign of Victory for 6 years now ---- Both are failing rapidly as we speak.

AJ,,, We still haven't seen the half of it. Bro --- Political hacks have been in every one of our 16 intellegence gathering networks,, Like "Sleeper Cells" waiting for the right accumilation of power, probably everything imanginable was in place.. Tom Clancy couldn't have dreamed this up.
. Then the political battles over the Congressional control for committees on the military & intellegence for decades & who gets the funding---- We have let it all happen. & Now it's in our faces.

I opposed the first Gulf War and Clinton's Balkans exucursion.

Saddam was our puppy, we helped him in and he promptly attacked Iran--and we backed him in this war of aggression.

He made the mistake, so many people have made--he trusted the United States government, and invaded Kuwait after receiving assurances from our ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, that the US had no position on what was seen as a purely Arab matter.

The Kuwaitis had been stealing Iraq blind with slant drilling of oil and would not desist. Saddam moved in and the royals hauled butt.

His 'Arab brothers' had not been kind to him... Iraqis fought and bled while they funneled money to him and when the war ended unfavorably, he was forced to sell oil above and beyond his quota to pay debts and please his people--the drop in the price of oil didn't sit well with the princelings or Big Oil--so they knocked his oil off the market.

As his war against Iran showed, he was no danger-- unless he had backing from abroad. Poor, poor Saddam...Confucious say, "If you are going to be a running dog of the imperialists, you'd best not pee on its foot."

"AJ,, Yes, I can't by that hind sight stuff though.. It would be ok if we are talkig about one of our kids getting a bad grade in school, or us making a mistake at home --"

Posted by j-whitman at 08:10 PM : Jun 22, 2007

Just for an example, for twelve years before the war, every body's intellegence departments were saying the same things about Saddam. Now either everyone was lieing or everyone was just "wrong."
I have seen statements, and I'm sure they are on record somewhere, from politician after politician, Kerry, Clinton, (both of them)Kennidy, etc. saying what Bush said. Were they lieing, or just wrong?

I aways say that history will sort things out; if Bush did lie and deceive the whole world into believing his plan to go to war over WMD's and all the other reasons for going into Iraq just to statisfy a personal grudge or get their oil, then yes he should be sent to jail and alot more.
