08-10-06 - Israel's misguided strategies The United States, in turn, miscalculated Israel's abilities and the damage done to its own interests in the Middle East by blocking a quick cease-fire and allying its policies so closely to those of Israel. As the destruction of Lebanon continues unchecked, with America's support, even such friends of the United States and Israel as Jordan's King Abdullah are talking in terms of "victims of Israeli aggression." And the angry reaction among Iraq's Shiites will further imperil America's ever-deteriorating chances of success.

08-10-06 - 'New Mideast' may see stronger extremists "The Americans are shooting themselves in the foot," Abdel Moneim Said, head of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, based in Cairo, said. "The only beneficiaries of the ongoing conflict are the fundamentalists." Israel, and consequently the US, has done all it could to isolate and neutralize moderates (such as Abbas) in the region. The policies of Israel and the neocons further radicalize the Middle East. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it is all part of the plan; to then turn around and say "see, look at these barbarians! How can we be expected to make peace with them?" ....
08-10-06 - The height of American stupidity, LIVE on FOX "(Arabs) have made up a lot of stories. I don't think Israel is really bombing Lebanon. I think it's faulty construction that's causing these buildings to fall."
08-10-06 - 53 U.S. Generals & Admirals Speak Out For Israel We have traveled to Israel over the years with The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). We brought with us our decades of military experience and came away with the unswerving belief that the security of the State of Israel is a matter of great importance to U.S. policy in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. A strong Israel is an asset upon which American military planners and political leaders can rely. Israel shares our commitment to democracy, freedom, personal liberty and rule of law.
The fact that JINSA got a hold on them explains a lot. But that paragraph is hilarious and yet tragically sad (for America) at the same time.

08-10-06 - Serve U.S. first How is it that at this time of national peril, these young men can turn their backs on their fellow Americans and cast their lot in the services of a foreign army? I find nothing laudable or commendable about Americans being raised to place the needs of a foreign nation before the land that provided their ancestors shelter, dignity and a chance at a better life! And the fact that there are recruitment shortcomings in the US military can be added on to that statement.
08-10-06 - U.S. Undermines Its Own Freedom There may be a few reasons for some nations to want to fight the United States and Israel. But actually the United States endangers its own security, according to the logic of Lincoln: ?Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it."
08-10-06 - Group wants U.N. council to probe Lebanon The Simon Wiesenthal Center called on the U.N. Human Rights Council to investigate Lebanon for war crimes. Israel has leveled Lebanon. This move is the very definition of chutzpah.

08-10-06 - AIPAC case judge denies dismissal
08-10-06 - Why Do They Hate Us? The argument of the "freedom and values" crowd boils down to this: "The decades of U.S. supplying of advanced weaponry and foreign aid to the Israeli government, which is now being used to kill people in Lebanon, and the U.S. government's obeisance and submissiveness to the Israeli government, have had no adverse effect on how Arabs and Muslims feel about the United States. Their anger and hatred is caused by America's freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and rock and roll." Dah. They hate us for our freedom.. dahh..

08-10-06 - McKinney loses again in Georgia, but this time she can?t blame Jews Before the June 18 primary, Jewish money accounted for some $20,000 of the $160,000 Johnson raised. The Jewish contribution for the runoff was about $100,000, about one-third of the new money Johnson raised. The author of this article claims that McKinney can't blame the 'Jews' for losing this election, but then goes on to describe all of the money Jews poured into the campaign of Johnson, McKinney's opponent. Since they funded McKinney's opposition, it is difficult to lend any weight to their claim that they did not influence this defeat. Why did they feel the need to in the first place (if McKinney was on her way out, as they allege), is the question that must be asked.
08-10-06 - Norwegian writer blasts Israel "We do not recognize the State of Israel. Not today, not as of this writing, not in the hour of grief and wrath.
