Gus, you attack Common Dreams as a Judeocon site -- and then, your very next reference, which you cite as being "from the horse's mouth", states that protecting Israel is the reason for the US invasion of Iraq -- and this reference is also from Common Dreams. >>”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,” Zelikow told a crowd at the University of Virginia on Sep. 10, 2002, speaking on a panel of foreign policy experts assessing the impact of 9/11 and the future of the war on the al-Qaeda terrorist organization. ”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,” said Zelikow. The statements are the first to surface from a source closely linked to the Bush administration acknowledging that the war, which has so far cost the lives of nearly 600 U.S. troops and thousands of Iraqis, was motivated by Washington's desire to defend the Jewish state.<< I don't deny the truth of this, because it is also wht I believe, but I now ask, does Common Dreams publish rubbish, or doesn't it? And, indeed, why should a Judeocon site, as you call it, reveal the truth about the US relationship with Israel? And I also ask why there cannot be two reasons for the invasion?
