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"

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...

New York Daily News 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?)

washingtonpost.com 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 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..."

"The Jewish lobby, the Israel lobby, has absolute control over any foreign policy position that has anything to do with the Middle East, regardless of the interest of the United States" -- CIA Officer Phillip Giraldi

"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."

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.
