04-21-06 - Flashback Dec. 2003: Israel trains US assassination squads in Iraq "It is bonkers, insane. Here we are - we're already being compared to Sharon in the Arab world, and we've just confirmed it by bringing in the Israelis and setting up assassination teams." "They are being trained by Israelis in Fort Bragg," a well-informed intelligence source in Washington said. I wonder how the Iraqis feel about that little nugget of information. We arm and back Israel in its war against the Palestinians. And then we allow Israelis to train our forces for when they invade Iraq.

04-21-06 - Egypt invites Israeli PM to visit
04-21-06 - We could lose the next war "I have no doubt that if Egypt could make Israel disappear from the map, it would not object to that. A future military confrontation with Israel exists in the Egyptian national consciousness and in the consciousness of the Egyptian security forces, and that is what Egyptian strategic planning is leading toward." Read the next few paragraphs after that one. It's interesting that this man is blaming Egypt for .. just about everything. Lest we forget, Israel believed Egypt was about to attack in the past and then threw the first punch in 1967 by destroying Egypt's airfields thereby igniting the Six Day War - a war in which Israel saw massive territorial gains. So on the one hand this Israeli official is saying that Israel is too puny to thwart any future attacks(?), and on the other saying that Israel once again sustains an existential threat from Egypt.
04-21-06 - The Power Player Who Faces Charges for Talking His indictment has marred the reputation of AIPAC, which employed him for 23 years. The hard-charging Rosen was instrumental in building AIPAC into one of Washington's most effective pressure groups. The 100,000-member organization plays a major role in securing more than $2 billion a year in U.S. aid for Israel and in fostering other pro-Israel policies...At AIPAC, Rosen helped pioneer executive-branch lobbying, a style of advocacy that was not widespread when he began it in the mid-1980s, but is now a routine complement to the more traditional lobbying of Congress. Before Rosen, AIPAC had believed that the way to alter American foreign policy was to get senators to sign a letter But these days, to say that these pro-Israel lobbyists alter foreign policy is the talk of 'anti-Semites'.

Meanwhile, America's borders continue to remain open and veritably undefended.
