US Empire now rearing a medusa head as Africom MUST contain the Chinese as rivals for the hydrocarbons of the Dark Continent.
Like the gent said, Wars are too important to be left to the Generals; ... so Oil Biz is too important to be left to the Oil Majors.
If the US is going for Empire, then it's necessary to go for broke in the Heartland ... err, Homeland. This is a game of Winner Takes All. While there's a man standing and a dollar for spending the US Empire keeps on keeping on.
Take a look at the exchange rate between the USD and the Euro. The USD isn't going anywhere but down. Noone is buying, neither the dollar not the story, anymore.
I now decline to accept contracts that stipulate payment in $US. On n'est jamais trop prudent.
Reading 'President Guiliani' just made me throw up! (figuratively)
"A war that increases the costs of fighting Bibi Netanyahu’s ‘war on terror’. "
Israel is making out handsomely from this situation; their economy is booming, presumably from military sales.
What the Americans seem congenitally incapable of percieving (they're not alone of course) is, whichever motive/combination you prefer - war for oil or for Israel - the bottom line is this is all about fleecing the taxpayer.
This is all about fleecing the taxpayer, but in the same breath you'll find your average US taxpayer supporting the war AND complaining about taxes. Because everybody knows only pinko-commies are in favour of taxes, and that only pinko-commies cause high tax rates by spending money on unnecessary social programs.
:rolls eyes:
But right wing military keynesians will say 'its better to spend taxes on arms than on welfare because you then have something to show for it'.
As if decrepit bridges, hospitals, schools, railways, etc. look better alongside shiny bombs, uniforms, tanks, guns.
The movie "Occupation 101" is now available on youtube:

Right wing military keynesians are anal-sadistic tools (please excuse my lapse into Freudian dogma).
As are all lovers of guns and bombs.
:wink:
I was in Israel the November before we invaded Iraq. The Israelis were not in favor. It did not see Iraq as a threat. It was more concerned with Syria and Iran.
The Chinese had improved the Iraqi Scud missle which Israel expected, because of what we were saying, whoul bring chemical and biological horrors to that small country.
I visited a hospital which had built decontamination facilities and was installing 2,000 more beds.
Bomb shelters were being restocked and new gas masks were being purchased and issued.
We attacked Iraq because that gang of trespassers in the White House wanted to and not because of Israel.
Could you imagine a son of Palestinians converting to Judaism, rising through the rankings of World rabbinate and becoming one of the most powerful rabbis in the world, perhaps even the Chief Rabbi of Israel?
Well this is the hypothetical mirror history of Jean-Marie Lustiger, the recently deceased Archbishop of Paris. Born to Jewish-Polish parents, he converted to catholicism during the German occupation and raised in the ranks to become the most influential Archbishop in France. He died last week, and his greatest achievement was the rapprochement, doctrinal and emotional, between catholicism and Judaism in France and in the world; another great contribution to raising judeo-christianity as the default post-Christian Western creed.

Another notable person passing away last week was Raoul Hillberg, the founder of Holocaustology.
Both men take their secrets to their respective graves.
Hilberg has popped his cloggs? Gone to join Simon Weisenthal in the special part of Hades reserved for celebrity liars.
What happens when there are no programs left to cut?
Obviously, taxes will go up, silly!
Taxes will go up?
At that moment what is left of the middle-class take up arms and you will see the long-predicted reenactment of the Civil War.
Possibly not during the next presidential mandate, but at some point a straw with 'deficit' written on it will break the back of the American middle class camel. I see a lot of flying lead in the near future, and a chance for renewal on a constitutional basis.
But then again, I may be wrong: agony may take a lot longer.
maybe some of the street israelis did not want the iraq assault. the israeli leadership planned it and wanted it and pushed for it and the israelis controlling the usa govt executed the war.
oh, and the war was/is 99.8% for israel.
I was in Israel the November before we invaded Iraq. The Israelis were not in favor. It did not see Iraq as a threat. It was more concerned with Syria and Iran.
We have records of Jordan, Saudi Syrian, Turkis-even Kuwaiti leadership asking Bush not to invade, saying their nations no longer considered Iraq a threat.
We have no such records of Israel asking the same.
The war was 40% for Israel 30% for oil and 30% for the Empire's
re-established kick-ass. All of which failed.
those who conceived, planned, executed this war are 99% jewcons/israelis. genearaals and oil men were out.
Cheney and Rummy aren't Jews, jewcons spiritually maybe.

oil lobby influence in the war, even if all the specifics aren't correct.
For those trying to rewrite history:
On 16 August 2002, 11 days before Dick Cheney kicked off the campaign for war with a hardline speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Washington Post reported that ‘Israel is urging US officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein.’ By this point, according to Sharon, strategic co-ordination between Israel and the US had reached ‘unprecedented dimensions’, and Israeli intelligence officials had given Washington a variety of alarming reports about Iraq’s WMD programmes. As one retired Israeli general later put it, ‘Israeli intelligence was a full partner to the picture presented by American and British intelligence regarding Iraq’s non-conventional capabilities.’
Israeli leaders were deeply distressed when Bush decided to seek Security Council authorisation for war, and even more worried when Saddam agreed to let UN inspectors back in. ‘The campaign against Saddam Hussein is a must,’ Shimon Peres told reporters in September 2002. ‘Inspections and inspectors are good for decent people, but dishonest people can overcome easily inspections and inspectors.’
At the same time, Ehud Barak wrote a New York Times op-ed warning that ‘the greatest risk now lies in inaction.’ His predecessor as prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, published a similar piece in the Wall Street Journal, entitled: ‘The Case for Toppling Saddam’. ‘Today nothing less than dismantling his regime will do,’ he declared. ‘I believe I speak for the overwhelming majority of Israelis in supporting a pre-emptive strike against Saddam’s regime.’ Or as Ha’aretz reported in February 2003, ‘the military and political leadership yearns for war in Iraq.’
This ignores the Israel ties of the varius neocons gathering intellegence such as Douglas Feith and the past publications about Iraq put out by these people.
Israel and Iraq
Netanyahu
Hombre, Thanks for the reminder.

Iraqis resist oil grab.
Him too, Shimon Peres? they are the worst, showing themselves as labor zionist, nice socialists, but serving Talmud in the cellar. They wont give a damn, if netanjahu will gass a township of Israelis only to blame the "Islamofascists".
greg palast cannot be trusted. big oil was not part of the planning.
state, cia, oil, corps. generals, admirals not admitted to table - in fact a few of these tossed out.
wolfowitz controlled the pentagon and with him: feith, wurmser, zakheim, and many i cannot remember. israelis had the run of the pentagon to be renamed the magen dovid.
cheney, rumsfeld had no objections but were the gentile faces to a jewish war.
there are jewcons/jewry and their neopets.
thanks hombre for your post.
how many jewcons were in cheney's office? for every power position there was/is a jewcon as a shadow power or in the top position, eg, deathhead chertoff
from uruknet:
"...Iraq had the most Degrees in the Arab world , even among women . women were educated from the 40s and many of Iraqi Nuclear scientists were women . Saudi only started allowing women to study in the 80s . Most cafes in Baghdad were a place where people sat and discussed books , litterature , philosophy and Poetry . there is a saying that says : Books are printed in Beirut and Damascus but read in Iraq . In the 80s the UNESCO congratulated iraq for eradicating Illiteracy in iraq , when the rest of the Arab world was deep in it. Same with the health care , and dentists services all free of charge and the best . Gulf Bedouins used to visit iraq for a treatment and not washington . (the ones who conspired against iraq and got it destroyed to the stone age ) the 12 years of injust sanctions were supposed to destroy iraq but they managed and everyone had something to eat, the rations at the end of the month were helpful so were the free oil Vouchers (that you can only dream about now )... continued

Now 50% of Iraqis live in abject poverty. 1 million dead, 2 million homeless, 2 million refugees, the rest starving, thirsty, sick. The propaganda radio read these numbers out and said they were data for the people of Darfur.
Sorrows of Empire.
"cannot be trusted" Schlomos says, because the facts don't fit with his oversimplification.
when Schlomos can cite an Anglo
elitist siding with Pat Buchanan's pre-war exposure of Israeli/Pentagon
machinations he will begin to make his cased , and not until.
Harold Rosenthal, sir you are a liar. The isrealis were and are for any usa military involvment in he middle east especially against the countries that they percieve as their enemies. Iraq was on the top of that list. Stop lying because we are not stupid
There were probably a modest minority of Israeli strategists who believed Iran was the more dangerous threat and opposed the war, in mumbled tones.
Just as there were a minority of Israeli strategists who opposed the
initial financing of Hamas to counter the PLO at the time.
shlomos, I already stated this: rumsfeld is Jewish, and so is GW Bush. Cheney was head secretary of JINSA, and you don't become such if you are a gentile. It's 95% jewish cabal - except for Armitage and Rice and Khalilzad.
Here's something for you, Salman. Joseph Stalin's family name was Djugashvili. In Georgian (he was of Georgian origin) -shvili means son of, and djuga means jew. So, Stalin's real name was Joe Jewison.
some good, informed comments above, esp. from 5ds and hombre.
Also kass for the djugashvili parsing.
So Joe Jewison it is, isn't it?
kassandra
with kooks like Salman in your corner, your Russophobia flops with even less aplomb.

The savedarfur movement is the perfect example of failed propaganda.
I know this Kassandra, Ken Hoop is a fool for denying the obvious!!!
kassandra, can you give me confirmation for djuga meaning Jew? I trust that's what it means. But I was wondering if there are any Georgians on this blog, or any Georgians around that can confirm or deny this fact. -ishvilli clearly means son of. There's no doubt about that!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos...i/
Joseph_Stalin
Solomon is such a Jew.
Hoop is such a Djuga (Manichean in Georgian).
Salman, I read this on a Russian site some time ago, but it's been a fairly well known fact for some time that Stalin had jewish origins. When Stalin left the Russian Orthodox seminary and became a robber to fund the Bolshevik cause, his "handle" was "Kochba", from the name of the leader of the jewish rebellion agains the Romans.
Kassandra is a lying Russophobe.

Djuga also wrote poetry. Does that make you feel better, hoopoe?

Everybody knows that only kooks think of Jews as being anything but patient victims.
Manichaean fist fucking should not per
se be viewed with non-nuanced intro-extro-perspective is being implied in
quasi al-Quaedic jurassic pseudo logorrheic discombobulative execrable diarrhoeia within the perpilpulistic fantasies of inbred
mongrel goys
with counterfeit certificates of inbreeding and hypoambulative
tendencies of fornicative mental processes.
I meant intro-extra, of course.
Borat is Christian, in case yhou didn't know.
It was Koba the robber, from a Georgian folk tale, nothing to do with Bar Kochba.
Smekhovo and others
The preceding two "Ken Hoop"
comments are not from Ken Hoop but from a troll,perhaps Lord Piers
or with similar motives.
I would never, by the way , link
Judicial-inc.biz for anything other than to ridicule the outfit as false front provocateurs or kooks-take your choice.
I would consider that a compliment, Ken.
Smek, You are correct. Just wanted to see if Hoopoe reads anything besides Wikipeda. A good book that appeared a few years ago on Stalin's early years: "Young Stalin", can't remember the author.
Forget wiki, cassie-you can't find one biography of Stalin composed by any American or European degreed historian which claims he was of
recent Jewish ancestry, can you?
You can always take a look at the photos. Court historians are always at the mercy of court Jews to syphon a stipend, fool.
Kaganova is a nice name. Kagan means king in the language of the Turanic Khazars: Kagan Bulan converted his tribe to Judaism in 740 AD.
But you probably know that too. Just not telling, eh? How clever..
Yes, Kaganovich was of Jewish ancestry. But no, "court Jews" are not always decisive,or even consequential, every where in history-or even present, "wise man."
