I fart in your general direction
Xymphora

March 29, 2007

Suddenly, out of the blue, everybody knows the truth.

Iran farts in the general direction of Tony Blair:

"You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English kiniggets.
I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

The Iranians know what I’ve been saying for months and months and months, that the talk of a war against Iran is an American bluff. The Iranians intend to drive a wedge between Tony and the neocons, and are succeeding brilliantly. By the way, those American troops supposedly massed on the border of Iran . . . the charge of the light-headed brigade? The Americans don’t seem to mind losing 3,000 soldiers one-by-one, but I think even they’d notice 3,000 all at once.

Meanwhile, the Arabs now are starting to feel comfortable that their old friends in the American Establishment – you know, the guys that Noam says rule the world – are starting to pay attention again and are actually ruling the world. We’re seeing the neocon-realist war in Washington played out with a new courage to speak the truth in the Middle East. Elliot Abrams and David Wurmser, blood dripping from their fangs (I know people don’t like this way of putting it, but considering the mass slaughter and suffering for which these ghouls are personally responsible, a little blood on the fangs doesn’t do them justice; I won’t sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness, and if the Zionist apologists don’t like it they should stop abetting murder), must be screaming in anguish. Someone is telling the Arab leaders that they are in a position to dictate a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians which would mean the end of Zionist dreams of an Israeli empire. That encouragement must be coming from very high in the American Empire (higher than Bush, who’s being embarrassed, and put in his place, by an unheard of snub). Never fear, Zionists! We will no doubt soon see a baffling 'Palestinian’ attack on Israeli civilians just in time to stop the Zionists’ biggest nightmare, peace.

Evidence of a new intelligence:

The Americans joining a meeting which included Iranian diplomats to discuss Iraq, and going out of their way to shake hands with the Iranians;
American diplomatic meetings with Syria;
American reestablishment of ties to the Palestinians by meeting with the Fatah-Hamas government while pretending Hamas isn’t there!;
An indication (i. e., threat) that the United States would negotiate a Palestinian state without Israeli involvement (i. e., interference), for which Condi got her own snub;
UAE distancing from neocon Iran talk;
Saudi King Abdullah calling the American occupation of Iraq 'illegitimate’;
Saudi efforts to cool tensions with Iran;
U. S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates cooling tensions with Iran.
Don’t count the four horsemen of the apocalypse out just yet, but realism and intelligence are breaking out all over. I thought this interview (see also here) with Prince Hassan Bin Tallal to be particularly inspiring. It often seems that the Israelis can manipulate the Arabs at will, but the Prince reveals a complete understanding of the situation, including Israel’s efforts, following the 'Clean Break’ paper, to break the Middle East up into tiny states through constant war so Israel can have its empire (if only Americans had the courage and intelligence to see how the Clean Breakers infiltrated the American government to achieve Israeli extremist goals!). The only weapon against Zionism is an understanding of the truth!

A tongue in cheek observation:

What I notice and incenses me most about political news subtleties is the grammar and spelling errors that are transcribed from the WH Press Room.

AP & Reuters permit & publish their abuse of the English language on a daily basis.

Not for nuttin', but what's up with dat?<gg>
