Maybe the last time your brain worked was in the 1950's when you were an Eisenhower supporter.
What do you suppose Israel would have done had the POSSIBILITY that Saddam had WMD's POSSIBLY waiting to unleash upon them existed much longer?
When was the last time Israel laid down when their existence was threatened?
No, I can't recall it either.
What do they almost always do when facing life and death threats?
Do they do NOTHING?
No, they confront the challenge and they do so decisively.
Yes, they do something. They call Washington and say, "We need you to fight a war against one of our enemies because we are too Chicken-shit to do it ourselves."
And our scumwad politicians say, "Yes, Sir, Mr. Zionist, Sir!!!"
At least until Obama came along.
Okay, here was the thing. The Zionists haven't won a war on their own since 1967. They've either needed the Americans to bail them out or they've had to withdraw in some kind of humiliating defeat. Zionism is kept aloft on its own bullshit.
What would the rest of the Muslim and Arab worlds do in the face of what would have been seen as an unprovoked attack by the hated Jooz on an Iraq who's brutal dictator had been paying Palestinian martyr's families $25,000? And what would they do when their hated, sworn enemy attacked a newly religious Saddam?
You don't think the resulting war would have affected you at all, huh?
It would have affected the WORLD. And maybe triggered a regional war much worse than Iraq.
Not much. Here's the thing. The Israelis did bomb the Osirik reactor in 1982, and the rest of the Islamic world pretty much yawned. The only people who were really pissed off were the French, because they had a sweet contract to build it. On the off chance the Zionists grew a pair of balls and fought their own ******* war for a change, what were they going to attack, exactly? Remember, there weren't any WMD's.
And if you don't think of Saudi Arabia as a valued ally, how about a crucial oil supplier to the free world we do business with?
Isn't that kind of like saying a drug addict's best friend is his pusher? Besides the fact that most of Saudi Arabia's output actually goes to India and China these days, hardly the "Free World", the fact is, as you say, we get most of our oil from this hemisphere.
What Saudi Arabia does with that money is fund terrorists. But the worse is going to come. Right now, the only thing that keeps the corrupt Royals in power in S.A. is that they use that oil money to keep the masses pacified while they fly to Europe for booze, gambling and hookers. Eventually, the masses are going to get sick of that, and we are going to have a Jihadist government there.
Probably a lot sooner now that we've made Iraq into a nest for Jihadists.
THANKS, DUBYA!!!! What a guy!!!!
You are a dried up old lightweight.
Go find a 70 year old to take to the Malt Shop and spare us your lack of political acumen.
And I don't need the kind of indications of being 'right' that you do. You rely on misleading indicators. The kind that come from being just like everyone else.
That's fine for those who aren't the trail blazer, the pioneer, the one who is in front seeing things fresh that the others, like you, will have to wait to see later.
I don't have that luxury.
Why? My guess here is you didn't sign up for the current war in the Middle East and you ain't gonna sign up for the next one. YOu are just going to let some POOR kid fight it with the promise of a college scholarship that never happens, and if he comes back in a body bag or without any limbs, tough shit for him.
I think we need to have a NeoCon Registry. Next time there's a war in the middle east, we round the lot of you up and send YOUR asses over to fight it.
I have to be able to see these things and tell you about them and eventually you and the others will get around to recognizing I was right.
It's called leadership.
You know nothing about leadership if you get your sense of being right from having a crowd around you.
Relax old man.
Enjoy the journey.
Guy, I just can't see how continuily getting in the middle of fights in the Middle East over whose Sky Pixie has the Biggest balls really helps us all that much.
As you say, I'm an old man. And frankly, I've been watching us play this game in the Middle East for most of my life. And I'm reminded of the old joke about the Polish Coyote that chews off three legs and is still caught in the trap.
I remember in the Yom Kippur War when Nixon rushed tanks in to save Israel, and the Arabs kindly responded by shutting off the oil supply. Then when we started seriously talking about alternatives to oil, they kept us hooked up like a junkie for a very long time.
We could take the 400 billion a year we spend fighting wars and propping up Israel and paying Israel's neighbors to play nice and reinvest it in public transportation and energy alternatives, and frankly, we'd create more jobs and be a lot more secure.
But, naw, that doesn't make any sense. Anyone up for a War with Iran? The Zionists are really scared of them, too!
