Bush Lands in IsraelPosted on Jan 9, 2008
President Bush has arrived in Israel, where he plans to do some legacy shopping and see if he can’t just solve this Mideast conflict everyone is always talking about. Everyday Israelis and Palestinians, however, remain skeptical that their leaders will find a solution before the end of 2008, as promised.

By dsmith, January 9 at 2:14 pm # What? Israel manipulating US foreign policy?Please...you only show yourselves to be fools when you try to erase Israel’s fingerprints from the policy that created the invasion of Iraq. You don’t seriously think an idiot like Bush had democracy in mind when he began telling his cabinet, shortly after 9-11...which Saddam had nothing to do with...that Saddam was going to be toppled. No, this was much more crafty than anything Bush could devise.This was inspired by Israeli fanatics Richard Perle and Ben Netanyahu. Their gameplan, which called for( see A Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Rhelm) an agressive strategy by the Israelis to depose Saddam. 9-11 was the green light they needed to fabricate a need to invade Iraq...enter Weapons of Mass Destruction, Yellow Cake and Curveball. Now it’s on to Tehran! You might want to looking at investing in oil futures, I know Richard Perle is.

By Mitch, January 9 at 6:25 am # Isn't it funny?It [i]just soIsn’t it funny? It just so happens that Bush and his wars (both present and planned) are very popular in Israel, as they are nowhere else on earth, including in America. But of COURSE Israel’s lobbyists — and Israel’s nominally “American” loyalists in our government, in our Washington policy “think tanks”, and in the corporate media — have nothing to do with that!
By weather, January 9 at 5:34 am # Welcome to IsraelA political state by day, a religious state for tax purposes, an extradition-free refuge for its citizens who commit crimes elswhere, but always, the exhausting, manipulating and misunderstood victim that demands to be treated as the exception and always at the expense of others. Nice legacy. Add Your Comment |
