Hawk? re: Iraq/Af-Pak/Iran - "Come on Rogue give us a hearty "Allah Ahkbar!" loud and clear!!"

Hawk, let's see if we can get beyond your one-dimensional G.I. Joe chest thumping for a moment...

Other than you, the entire world knows who created Al Qaeda.



But all that aside, just for the sake of shits and giggles, let's
pretend that Al Qaeda is not controlled by the Western intel
services. Let's pretend they really are the big bad boogeyman
the Straussian Neo-Cons want us to believe they are...

Earth to Hawk: THERE'S LESS THAN 100 OF THEM!

"President Obama's Secret: Only 100 al Qaeda Now in Afghanistan"

abcnews.go.com

And Hawk, here's a combo math/sanity test for you...

"One Thousand U.S. Soldiers and $300 Million for Every One al Qaeda Fighter"

We've sent 1,000 soldiers and are spending $300 million per Al Qaeda boogey man.

What more needs to be said?

Everyone in the entire world knows why we're in Afghanistan,
poppy fields and oil pipelines...





Hawk, Quit being a shill. Either man up and say - BOO YAH!
Hell yes we're there for the pipelines and the poppy fields...
We're following PNAC's Project For A New American Century and
we're pre-empting China's access to oil to maintain America's
lone SuperPower status into the 21st Century... and yes,
we know Karzai's brother is the Opium King of Afghanistan
and is on the CIA's payroll, but that's how the Black Budget
is funded, and the banking system needs the cash.

Do that, or quit rationalizing and promoting false wars that
are bankrupting America, killing our sons and daughters, while
enriching corporatists from the military-industrial complex,
and the international bankers.

Be 1/10th the man Colin Powell is, and admit the truth...

General Colin Powell now admits the War in Iraq should never
have been fought, and he's sorry it was...

Bushies 'used' Colin, wife says
BY CORKY SIEMASZKO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Friday, October 6th, 2006

"Colin Powell fought the Viet Cong, but he was no match for
the Bush administration hard-liners who "used" his prestige
to sell the Iraq war to the American people, his wife says.

In "Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell," Powell's wife, Alma,
says the former secretary of state was "callously used to
promote a war she wished had never happened," author Karen
DeYoung writes.

"They needed him to do it because they knew people would
believe him," she told DeYoung, an editor at the Washington
Post.

Colin Powell, who was interviewed by DeYoung six times at
length, expressed reservations about invading Iraq but never
considered quitting in protest once President Bush decided
to go to war.

"I supported him," he said. "I can't go on long patrol and
then say, 'Never mind.'"

Old soldiers like Powell "didn't quit when they disagreed with
the decisions of their commanders," writes DeYoung.

Powell has called his prewar speech to the United Nations
accusing Iraq of hiding weapons of mass destruction a "blot"
on his record.

DeYoung also writes that Powell believes Bush sees the
Palestinian/Israeli struggle in "black and white" terms
and called Rumsfeld's team "the JINSA crowd," a reference
to the neoconservative Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs."

(Is Colin Powell now an anti-semite, or a hero for finally speaking the truth?)

===================
===================

General David Petraeus says our blind support of Israel,
and the Israelis actions towards the Palestinians,
are undermining US efforts elsewhere in the world,
and endangering American troops....

And look who immediately attacked General Petraeus...

Whodathunkit?!?

The ADL...

And it's not just Gen. Colin Powell and Gen. Petraeus,
it's National Security Dirctor Dennis Blair who strongly
rebutted Israel's position on Iran's nuclear program,
and who was ultimately forced to resign...

U.S., Israel Disagree on Iran Arms Threat

Senate Panel Told Tehran Has Not Made Decision to Pursue Nuclear Weapons

By Peter Finn
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, March 11, 2009

"Iran has not produced the highly enriched uranium necessary
for a nuclear weapon and has not decided to do so, U.S.
intelligence officials told Congress yesterday, an assessment
that contrasts with a stark Israeli warning days earlier that
Iran has crossed the "technological threshold" in its pursuit
of the bomb.

Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair said that
Iran has not decided to pursue the production of weapons-grade
uranium and the parallel ability to load it onto a ballistic
missile."

================
================

And it's not just Powell, Patreus, and Blair...

Admiral William Fallon also resigned over the AIPAC/Israel
lobby's pressure to attack Iran...

timesonline.co.uk

"Admiral William Fallon quits over Iran policy"

"The top US military commander for Iraq and Afghanistan
resigned last night after weeks of behind-the-scenes
disagreements with the White House over the direction
of American foreign policy. "

And it's not just the military, it's the NSA and CIA as well.

Former intelligence analysts, case officers, and field agents
from the NSA and CIA are coming public and speaking out, saying
that the USA's foreign policy is being run by quote - "Israel
and the US AIPAC lobby," and that "their agenda is NOT in the
best interests of America..."



Former CIA analysts, case officers speak out on Israel lobby...

with the Middle East, regardless of the interest of the
United States"

"More Spin from Israel"
by Former CIA Analyst Philip Giraldi,
June 03, 2010

"The nicest thing that might be said about the Israeli raid is
that it was a botched job. The Israelis expected to lead the
vessels into port like sheep, but to their surprise some of
the sheep resisted. Tel Aviv’s argument that the convoy was
a threat against Israel just does not hold water as it is
completely clear that the supplies on board were humanitarian
in nature and both the passengers and crewmen were unarmed.

If there was a threat to Israel, it was purely psychological.
The so-called terrorist group being cited by the Israelis and
their drumbeat chorus is a Turkish charity called Humanitarian
Relief Fund, which is not regarded by anyone but Benjamin
Netanyahu and his foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman as
subversive."

"Finally, all Americans should realize that this most recent
Israeli outrage is another lose-lose situation for the United
States.

US congressmen are already lining up to support the Israeli
action and the State Department is silent about the
American student who had her eye shot out by Israeli border
policemen while demonstrating peacefully against the attack
on the flotilla.

Washington will yet again have to look the ridiculous
hypocrite before the entire world in a new wag-the-dog
scenario in which it is forced to provide diplomatic cover
for an out of control Israel.

Having escaped any punishment yet again, Israel’s reckless
leadership might also be emboldened to up the ante, confident
that it can contrive a situation with Iran that will draw the
United States into a new shooting war. The US will also pay
the price in other ways. Key ally Turkey will inevitably
cease to cooperate on issues like the Iranian nuclear program
after being punished by the US media and Congress, a process
that has already started on The Weekly Standard’s blog.

Washington’s backing of Israel in what surely must be viewed
as a massacre will further erode any support from Islamic
countries for US policies and will serve as a recruiting tool
for groups like al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Even if one is not
a fan of US empire and the current crop of pointless wars...
it is heartbreaking to have to witness an increasing number
of young Americans delivered up as cannon fodder in a growing
confrontation with a Muslim world that is angry with Israel
and taking revenge by attacking the United States."

==============

This is the greatest con job in military history...

Not only did we get conned into fighting an unjust war for Israel,
which is bankrupting America and turning the entire world against us,
there aren't any Israeli's on the front lines of Iraq, Afghanistan,
or Pakistan?!?

We give Israel $3 billion in cash, plus another $2-3 billion
in military aid (plus indirect aid) on average, each and every
year. (Nothing like financing your own takeover.) And only
one member of Congress has had the courage to speak out
directly against the Israel lobby - Jim Traficant.

Jim Traficant says what no one else has the courage to say:

"Israel controls both houses of Congress, and this country is
in danger, unless they take back control of their government."

youtube.com

Here's a list showing AIPAC contributions to the Senate and Congress:

maplight.org

John McCain is the Israel lobby's #2 bought and paid for whore
in Congress, second only to Israel Firster, Joe Lieberman.

Top AIPAC contribution recipients:

1. Joseph Lieberman $1,226,956
2. John McCain $750,368

And guess what Israel's puppet John McCain called for today?

Link: thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com

Former Congressman James Traficant rightly pointed out
recently that between the direct foreign aid grants to Israel,
along with all of the other benefits including trade compacts,
economic and military assistance, “Israel gets approximately
$15 billion a year from the American taxpayers. That $15 billion
is $30,000 for every man, woman and child in Israel.”

This is the greatest money laundering scheme in modern history...

US taxpayers send their tax dollars to Israel, which in return
buys weaponry from the military industrial complex with half
the money, and then uses the other half to literally buy our
Senators and Congressman, allowing them to run U.S. foreign policy.

The fix?

Very simple, cut off ALL aid to Israel until a peaceful resolution
is reached with the Palestinians, make AIPAC register as the
foreign lobby they are, and reform campaign finance and
lobbying laws.

Gen. Colin Powell, Gen. David Petraus, Admiral William Fallon,
CIA analyst Ray McGovern, CIA officer Phill Giraldi, NSA analyst
Wayne Madsen
and former Congressman Jim Traficant are not anti-semites,
they're merely speaking an inconvenient truth.

No more false wars for Israel, the military-industrial complex,
and the international bankers, over Yellow Cake, WMD's and Nukes
that don't exist.

No more US tax dollars sent to Israel so it can buy Congress,
not with 17 % real unemployment in the US, and 40 million Americans
now on food stamps.

And force AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby it is.

Wake up America and take your country back,
it's time to put America first.
