Can’t stomach the full chain of Truthdig commentary for too long.  Between some exquisite and unique points of view, we have mainstream-esque entrenchments such as: if Democrats are elected, Imperal plans are essentially on hold – then Israel stews.  Please - Obama’s foreign affairs advisor is Zbigniew Brzezinski – a key new world order engineer, while Clinton is the quintessence of The Establishment itself.  McCain’s advisor is Kissinger.  Nobody here really believes there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans.  That would be like saying George W. Bush has an Ideology.  Dick PNAC Cheney is a CFR agent (once director) with other anointed functionaries Obama and Clinton.  The puppet masters have given them all the CFR stamp of approval because they agree to quietly work to the elimination of sovereignty of the USA.  On the campaign trail they did not address the destruction of the Bill of Rights, burgeoning police brutality under the auspices of “Homeland” security, or the designed implosion of the Dollar or the NAU meetings that took place under wraps (and neither do most of you folks for that matter).  It’s already over gang.  We have been socially engineered.

As we discuss MidEast bedfellows we obviously do it from a frame of reference as to how it affects us.  Just to say the imperial agenda abroad distracts us from the overthrow that is virtually complete right here at home.

Didn’t mention the Centcom psy-op hacks who check in from time to time.

Still, minamoto no taira, there must be something good to be had out of all this......

Foster and polish

Illuminate the path

Truth be told, my moniker is a contradiction and a bit of irony.  The Taira clan started off what was known as the Gempei war in Japan (Gem = Genji = Minamoto; Pei = Heike = Taira (don’t ask, I’m not that familiar with the terminology)). The war that the Taira clan started not only led to their defeat, but their demise; ALL of the Taira clan was wiped out.  I’m not even sure what Japanese I’m offending (I probably am) with my moniker, I’m being silly.  My ultimate descendency is from Okinawa, away form the mainland.  The Gempei war should serve as a lesson for ANYONE who starts wars, whatever the reason.  The Bush Administration, amongst all else, is a living monument to irony on a massive scale.

So which are you? Minamoto - or Taira?

“Iran is the main beneficiary of the Iraq conflict”, ha ha.....

The USA is now supporting a pro-Iranian government in Iraq......

Russia is supporting Iran while the USA is bogged down in Afghanistan (who was there before?)…

Al Qaeda is bombing Iraq and Afghanistan but not Iran or Turkey - even though it is funded through Pakistan.....

It was the US Navy which shot down an Iranian civilian airliner......

Iran is joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation along with most other countries in the region....

Lets see what next week’s elections in Iran bring......

The Jews can live with Islam and in Islamic countries and have and are still doing so successfully - but Israel cannot!

The great illusion is in the eyes of the naive and ignorant Christians in the Western world.... about Israel.

Thus Western governments and especially the USA are manipulating the fears and anxieties of their people - and Israel is manipulating the Western government members.

I only thought I knew what irony was before this Bush Administration took power.  I now truly know.  And so does the world.

Ahmadinejad more popular than Bush with the rest of the world now. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Take that all you right-wing fanatic losers!

Randyha…

Right you are!  Iran is rising to become the dominant Islamic power in the ME, which will be accentuated with their eventual possession of nuclear weapons!  As they say, “the best laid plans of mice and men......!  The US plan, under PNAC, was to first establish a military/economic base in the ME vis-a-vis Iraq and second, to neutralize Iran by fomenting an internal regime change perhaps supported by a military action.  However, the snafu in Iraq put a crimp and a delay in that plan.  And now with the presidential election in the US just ahead, the plan is now on hold with Israel holding the joker.  Should McCain succeed the plan is back on the table and fasten your safety belts for the US is in for quite a ride.  However, should one of the Democrats succeed, then the plan remains on hold, while Israel stews.

Though I am not traditionally a fan of Iran or its leadership, I am increasingly becoming an admirer of its courageous and enlightened president. It is Bush and those around him who represent for me now the axis of evil.

I totally agree. George Bush will go down in history as the US president who fullfiled Iran’s dream of expanding its empire by getting rid of Saddam and the Baath party in Iraq. There is an interesting book by Vali Naser who talks about this called the Shia Revival.
