And I will help with an explanation. “What is the alternative?” “Serving Islam” “Never do I feel Jesus more.” “Never do I feel truth more.” Thank you to our men and women, So that I too fight, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
By Jimmy Montague, February 3, 2007 at 8:16 pm # It’s an interesting idea: The United States has been pretending that Iran and Syria and Palestine don’t exist. Now they retaliate by pretending the United States doesn’t exist. All together can pretend they’re moving forward in some kind of a pretend peace process. Seriously, folks: On the one hand, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Palestine may be able to work out something constructive among themselves by shutting the U.S. and Israel out of the process. But is there not an equal chance that whatever they arrive at will be unworkable because it doesn’t factor in the concerns of the United States and Israel? Isn’t this something from the neo-con playbook? What happens when Iraq, Iran, Palestine and Syria together impose a new reality on the region while the United States is still trying to deal with the old reality? If changing the reality on the ground is one way to thwart U.S. imperial interests, is that new reality not just as likely to provoke Uncle Sam to smash the game in frustration?

Between the pro-Israel lobby and the war profiteering, this country is headed for totalitarian imperialism. We must react before it is too late!!

Why? Because they both realize this: 1) the New World Oligarchy (NWO) must be taken down and made to comply with the law This is just the short list. To defeat and depose the NWO, we must begin by exposing and punishing them for their authorship and complicity in the 911 crimes. False Flag Terrorism must be deemed a crime against humanity and any coconspirator must be so charged, prosecuted and executed, regardless under whatever government or military they serve.

By CK, February 3, 2007 at 1:51 pm # NEWSFLASH: The White House specifically requested that the Iraqis NOT invite a US delegation to participate, as they felt it was important for the appearance of legitimacy of the Iraqi government that they be able to negotiate on their own behalf without the US present. Geeez you guys are gullible.
By Trigger finger, February 3, 2007 at 1:38 pm # I don’t understand, How can they do this and not invite the liberator, the decider, the thinker, the decision maker, the commander, the cowboy? We liberate them, give them their freedom, and elections and a Democracy and this is how they show their gratitude, don’t invite the thinker? Is the decider FULLY aware of these meeting? Does he fully understand he’s not invited? This meeting, it’s not ‘uh, it’s ‘uh it’s just not ‘uh, how you say? it’s not credible and so we’ll just decide what’s best for them. Oh well, MISSION almost ACCOMPLISHED anyway, and now, it’s time to focus on Iran. Those Iranian people don’t know what they’re missing, Freedom, democracy, elections! Wow, hope they’re really excited and looking forward to a new way of life, and oh, be sure to buy more stock in the candy company.

What has never been even half-way possible for eons, the US may have succeeded in bring off - which is exactly counter to what it intended. For one thing, a united Middle East surrounding little Israel can’t be what the neocons had in mind. Attack Iran and you might bring down the wrath of a united Middle East! Goodbye oil. Hello Chavez. Has there ever been a more screw-up administration than the Bush administration?
By John C, February 3, 2007 at 6:58 am # Keeping the United States out of Arab summit meetings is the only way for progress to be made in the region. Palestinians should also give up on the United States as an “honest broker”. It never has been “honest” about Palestine. The whole world is finally waking up to the real source of obstruction to peace in the Middle East, and it is the United States government. Iraq’s decision to keep the United States out of its discussions is a very smart move, and I believe it will get world support.
By Alejandro, February 3, 2007 at 6:35 am # I think thats a good step for the region to take.
By Big Al, February 3, 2007 at 5:39 am # Jackie T. Gabel says: “We, the responsible citizens of this nation, must find a way to take them down and take them out, before they launch on Iran. The world can no longer suffer these madmen.” I agree - but then what are we going to do about the people who propose to replace them - like Senators Clinton, Obama, and Edwards, who are falling all over themselves trying to outdo each other in promising (especially when speaking to pro-Israel groups) that they will be “tougher” on Iran than Bush has been? Most Democrats in Congress- terrified of the Israel lobby - have helped Bush grease the skids as we slide at terrifying speed into a “preventive” war against Iran.

By Chris, February 2, 2007 at 10:28 pm # Well, let’s see...in Baghdad people used to be able to go out in the evening with friends, and go shopping, see a show, enjoy coffee in a cafe. We (the U.S.) invaded their country in a war of choice in 2003, and now in 2007, people are being blown up by the dozens EVERY DAY in Baghdad, dozens of corpses also are being discovered EVERY DAY in Baghdad showing signs of torture. We’ve incinerated and nearly destroyed their country, and so the U.S. winds up not getting an invite to their conference. Dear Jesus, what is it about freedom and democracy that they don’t get?

By Jackie T. Gabel, February 2, 2007 at 5:38 pm # Everyone wants the US out, especially it’s special forces and pseudo gangs — the ones running false flag, black-ops/psy-ops. These operations have so distorted the War of Terror, it’s literally impossible to determine whose doing what. But we do know why: to fail every state whose despot does not willingly submit to NWO (New World Oligarchy) demands — here’s an 11 min. capsule http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_84-PT-REc4 We, the responsible citizens of this nation, must find a way to take them down and take them out, before they launch on Iran. The world can no longer suffer these madmen.
