05-17-06 - . . . nightmare For world opinion, rightly or wrongly, Israeli action against Iran could not take place without a green light from the White House....Interestingly enough, the raid did not retard but actually accelerated Saddam Hussein's program....A religious fanatic who believes the return of the 12th imam to Earth will be preceded by global death and destruction in his own lifetime, Mr. Ahmadinejad presumably sees an Israeli and/or U.S. attack against Iran closing Muslim ranks the world over against the imperialist infidels. Now that's an interesting take I had not yet heard before.

05-17-06 - McCain: 'Proudly Pro-Israel' - Says Haaretz Article Left 'Serious Misimpressions' The McCain that both supporters and opponents have come to know, said the consultant, is the McCain who in June 2001 told a special AIPAC seminar that "America?s unequivocal support for Israel ? not evenhandedness, not moral equivalence, not winking at Palestinian violence ? is the best guarantor of peace in the Middle East."

It's a joke to see these types still touting Israel as the 'only democracy in the Middle East'. Total BS. That's a slap in the face to the families of the US soldiers that have died in Iraq.
