Free Iraq

Sympathy for a Great Unappreciated Statesman: President George W. Bush: ". . . President Bush is my North American hero. And the fact is that someone has to speak up in defense that misunderstood and much-maligned statesman, who is gambling everything for the sake of democracy and the survival of the Western world. Why, if those who wear the turbans can knock down two of his tremendous towers, doesn’t he have the right to knock down their tiny towers?

For all the sacrifices of George W. and for all that he has suffered and still suffers, carrying a piano like Iraq on his back, he will only be compensated by the eventual judgment of history. ... Let us remember that the gringos are in this world to win wars, and now must invent them to do so.

A man who suspends his well-deserved vacation and leaves his ranch so abruptly - and we have already verified the neglect that this has caused (he almost forget to tune up his pick-up truck) - to attend to problems of State deserves the respect and the admiration of the free world. He is an honorable man and does not deserve the unjust commentaries that have befallen him of late. ...

. . .[W]hen he was able and when he was sure that there were no snipers that could bring down his helicopter, he went straight to the scene of the events, because whatever happens, he is George W., and he does not live in the background, hesitate to extinguish fires nor turn back floodwaters.

Alien to that Latin American tradition of holding orphans, embracing widows and wasting time catering to matters of the heart, he is more often in the Oval Office, meditating and thinking up new strategies. . . .

Bush is a man of action and few words, like any of Clint Eastwood’s memorable western characters: very little bla-bla-bla and lots of ta-ta-ta. Unconcerned with looking smart and winning public acclaim, he will leave a legacy that - I repeat - only with time will be recognized - when history places him on a pedestal as one of humanity’s all time greats."

Wayne Madsen Report, October 7, 2005 -- "The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Egyptian director Mohammed ElBaradei in what is yet another international slap at the Bush administration. ElBaradei incurred the wrath of the neo-cons in the Bush administration after he pointed out the Niger documents used by the Bush administration to suggest Saddam Hussein was shopping for yellowcake uranium in Niger were crude forgeries. The Bush administration, particularly the State Department's then-point man for nuclear proliferation issues John Bolton, attempted to have ElBaradei removed from his job.

"The awarding of the Nobel Prize to ElBaradei and the IAEA comes at an interesting time. The ongoing criminal investigation of the leak of a covert CIA non-official cover (NOC) network by senior White House officials directly impacted the ability of the CIA to discretely gather intelligence on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation, including interfacing with nuclear specialists at IAEA meetings in Vienna and elsewhere. ...

"Over 200 Peace Prize nominations were presented to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Some neo-con politicians in the United States and Europe have actually put forward the names of George W. Bush and Tony Blair for the Nobel Peace Prize. ..."

Indeed, apart from oil - which was discovered, is produced and is paid for by the West - what do they contribute? Can you think of anything? Anything really useful? Anything really valuable? Something we really need, could not do without? No, nor can I. Indeed, the Arab countries put together export less than Finland"
# posted by Yitzhak Star O' David

Well, well Yitzhak. The Arabs own the oil, the local people do the work and run the facilities. Isreal or the "west" do not own it and that is essential. Also essential is that now the oil customers are fight in the line.

Saudi Arabia exports alone 113 billion $USD (est 2004), when Israel does 34 billion USD. With the present oil prices the difference is much bigger.

What is Yitzak the Israel's contribution to the world that is really usefull? Would Isreals economy survive a week of a economical block by EU or without the US's steady moneystream. Some day those things can be reality - Yitzak. Americans get fed up to nurture that rude "child" of theirs and EU gets fed up to watch that apparheit policy and ethnic cleansing.
 

Regarding the American moneystream to Israel -
A repost, with American taxpayer contribution to Israel updated:

Never let it be said that the U.S. is not generous - to Israel. The Israeli government and military receive $15,139,178 of our taxpayer money every day*. And, never let it be said that we're even handed. We're not. In contrast (2004 data) Palestinian NGO's receive $232,290 each day. At minimum Israel receives 65 times as much as Palestinian NGO's. Corrected for inflation, adjusting to equivalent data periods, the effects of escalated Israeli manipulation and unauditable secret funds & benefits that nobody knows about, ... Make an educated guess re the multiple received by Israel over Palestinian NGO's. I'll throw one out just for the heck of it: 200 times as much to Israel, the CLEAR winner! (And if this figure is contentious, do your own research and offer an alternative.)

At this very second, Israel has received $94,860,770,990. By the time you read this, add a few million. (I have a small question about return on our investment.)
-------------------------
Without American funding, how would Israel: Pay for their military, pay for their "settlements", pay for their aggression against Palestinians? This American taxpayer is eager for an answer.

* In fact, probably much more. This figure was based on 1997 research.
 

Israel has long spied on the United States: "Pollard's information helped Israel threaten the Soviet Union, and the U.S., with nuclear war if they didn't get their way in developments in the Middle East."

Success

Yitzhak,

"THE MAPS TELL THE TRUE STORY
The truth is that far from being the poor victim it likes to portray itself as, Israel is in fact the most aggressive and belligerent nation in the region, having invaded pretty much everyone it shares a border with."

Also what about Israel's Weapons of Mass Destruction? Time for the Weapons Inspectors to go in to get rid of Israel's nuclear weapons.
 

Time the Zionist State went full stop.
 

TRUTH MATTERS

In European (meaning continental European) terms, the education of my youth, I think, was appalling. In American terms, my education was rather good. Probably "good" in that the system conveyed to my young mind all those beliefs fundamental to understanding the world in the prescribed manner. So, for example, when reading books like Leon Uris' Exodus or Mila l8 my frame of reference was limited, my world view set in stone.

Let me say here that I am not a Holocaust denier. Pogroms and death camps were real. Jewish people suffered appallingly before and during Hitler's time. I have been to Dachau. I believe we are called to remember the lives so mercilessly and cruelly tormented and snuffed out by men and women mortal just like ourselves.

And the foregoing I say first and foremost because it is true, but now because of the difficulty that crops up distinguishing Jewish history from the ravages of Zionism. In the late '60s a Lebanese acquaintance tried telling me there was an alternate way of viewing what was happening in the Middle East. Then, I was unable to understand.

The following article, from which I have extracted only a small portion, contributes toward filling in some historical blanks and correcting related educational distortions.

Kurt Nimmo, Galloway and the Stampeding of Arab Jews: "It really irks the Zionists and their neocon fellow travelers George Galloway has the gall to cite the historical record and thus criticize the settler state of Israel for its immoral use of 'dirty tricks.'

[ . . . ]

". . . [T]o a documented degree, Zionists 'stampeded' (or euphemistically 'rescued') Jews from Arab countries and corralled them in Israel, where they endured second class citizen status, a step or so above indigenous Arabs. 'The reality is [the Zionists] have used Jewish people, and they have used them with this ideology of Zionism, to create this little Hitler State on the Mediterranean, to act as an advance guard for their own interests in the Arab world, and we’re all paying for it, the Palestinians have paid for it, the Arabs have paid for it, and now the American people are paying for it, and why should we?' . . .

"Indeed, we are paying for it, as the invasion and occupation of Iraq, to a large degree, is in the interest of Israel. 'Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I’ll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990—it’s the threat against Israel,' declared Philip Zelikow, executive director of Bush’s nine eleven whitewash commission. 'And this is the threat that dare not speak its name, because the Europeans don’t care deeply about that threat, I will tell you frankly. And the American government doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell.' In other words, the American people were duped into supporting the invasion, in large part in the interest of Israel. Galloway rightfully characterizes this deception as 'dirty tricks' devised to reduce us to 'live our lives in a permanent state of warfare and division,' as engineered by vicious neocons and Likudite Zionists.

"Naturally, mentioning Naeim Giladi’s account of the 'Zionist underground' in Iraq using terrorism to 'stampede' Iraqi Jews into a desperate emigration to Israel—arriving penniless and dependent on the welfare of racist Ashkenazi Jews in need of field hands—will be considered anti-Semitic by Israel’s apologists, most notably those over at Moonbat Central. 'It’s permissible to discuss the power of every other group, from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power of the Jewish establishment is off-limits,' notes Joseph Sobran. It is, as well, off-limits to mention and argue historical fact at variance with the pro-Israel orthodoxy. With each passing day, the mention of such established fact moves further into the territory of criminalized behavior, as the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act becomes law and with the passage of the Global anti-Semitism Review Act last October the State Department has become a de facto anti-Semitism ministry with an appointed anti-Semitism envoy."
 

Benjamin Freedman Speaks; A Jewish Defector Warns America -- "Introductory Note: Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th century. Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States. Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times. This speech was given before a patriotic audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Conde McGinley's patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense. Though in some minor ways this wide-ranging and extemporaneous speech has become dated, Mr. Freedman's essential message to us -- his warning to the West -- is more urgent than ever before."
 

US Tax-Exempt Charitable Contributions to Israel: Donations, Illegal Settlements and Terror Attacks against the US
Sixty Billion Dollars for Illegal Settlements
"Israeli government officials recently disclosed that at least US $60 billion has been spent financing illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. According to Israeli prosecutor Talia Sasson, the Israeli government has systematically violated its own laws by financing settlements from foreign donations, the official state budget and secret military accounts. One global nonprofit, the World Zionist Organization, played a central role in coordinating illegal settlement activities.

"Opaque and fungible assets freed up by massive yearly US foreign aid to Israel are pouring into settlement development and infrastructure building designed to partition key Palestinian territories and annex others to the state of Israel. US nonprofits are directly and indirectly financing the coordination of illegal settlement building, encroachment, and violence against Palestinians. Recently disclosed charitable contributions from US lobbyist Jack Abramoff laundered to finance violent armed Israeli activity in the Palestinian territories is only the tip of the iceberg. Considered against the findings of a groundbreaking new study revealing the causes of suicide terrorism, Americans must confront a disturbing question: 'Are tax exempt donations from the US generating terrorist retaliation against America?'"

Excerpt
Malcom Lagauche, THE MYTH: "The world is definitely not better off with Saddam in jail for various reasons. His incarceration was the result of an illegal pre-emptive action that could set the pace for other countries that have gripes with certain factions. Russia will have an open hand in Chechnya. The Chinese may look at Tibet in another light after the U.S. invasion. And other Asian countries may be licking their chops and looking to settle long-running feuds. The entire concept of a United Nations that is supposed to stop war has changed and the rule of the jungle is coming to the forefront.

"Now, let’s look at numbers. Yesterday, six U.S. military people were killed in roadside bombings. Dozens, if not hundreds of Iraqis were killed during U.S. raids. Hundreds of Iraqis left their homes because of imminent danger. And this is just one day’s actions; actions that continue day in and day out.

"Since the March 2003 invasion, about 150,000 Iraqis have died. Almost 2,000 Americans are now in graves who would not be if there was no invasion. Iraq has little electricity and an unemployment rate of almost 70%. The U.S. has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this fiasco and there is no end in sight.

"Speaking of electricity in Iraq, I recently read an appropriate quote from a former prisoner who was tortured at Abu Grhaib by U.S. soldiers. He stated, 'I always knew the Americans would bring electricity back to Baghdad. I just never thought they’d be shooting it up my ass.'

"Terrorist attacks are now the norm in the world. Every day we read of someplace that is affected: India, Pakistan, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the list goes on. They don’t even gain headlines any more. These are attacks that would not have occurred had the world scene not changed with the illegal invasion of Iraq.

"Foreign Arab and Islamic fighters are coming to Iraq. This is their World Cup. Again, with no invasion, Iraq would have been the last place they would have visited.

"It will take Iraq decades to recover from two U.S.-led wars and a devastating embargo. Millions of Iraqi dead and tens of thousands of deaths of other nationalities will be on the final scorecard. And, by then, the cost will be in the trillions, not billions, of dollars.

"If one looks at this matter objectively and states the truth, the whole future could take on a more sensible course. Americans hate Saddam Hussein. Europeans are usually neutral and many in the Arab world hold him in high esteem. A British biographer once stated, after seeing an anti-Saddam Hussein piece on the A&E Network, 'The Arab world does not see him in the same light as what you have portrayed. They look at him as the leader who brought literacy and women’s rights to the Arab world.' There are varying opinions on Saddam Hussein and his presidency of Iraq not just those of the brain-dead and lying U.S.

"Scott Ritter, the former head U.N. inspector in Iraq is attacking the U.S. policy toward Iraq. Last year, he wrote an article called 'If You Had Seen What I Have Seen,' in which he maintains that the U.S. and Britain never would have the embargo lifted despite Iraq’s cooperation and performing their duties that the U.N. asked of them. The U.S. and British signatures meant nothing. They would have kept the embargo in place until Saddam was gone, despite the murdering of two million Iraqis. They did not care if the figure went to three or four million.

"In his article, Ritter stated, 'Saddam is gone, and the world is far worse for it … because the threat to international peace and security resulting from the decisions made by Bush and Blair to invade Iraq in violation of international law makes any threat emanating from an Iraq ruled by Saddam pale in comparison.'

"I have maintained that if Iraq were to become a 'democracy' along U.S. lines, why not allow the Baath Party to participate? It is still the largest party in the country. And, there is a good chance Saddam would regain the presidency. Such a gamble on the part of the U.S. is unthinkable."
