> Even if Izzy has to start a war with Iran himself, the last thing on the agenda is that peace can prevail. counterpunch.org >>It has happened again, and in the open. The American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) which heads a network of pro-Israeli lobbies, persuaded Congress to drop a provision which would have required President Bush to ask for Congressional approval prior to attacking Iran. As reported in the May 16, 2007 issue of The Hill: "The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), an influential group that advocates strong U.S. ties with Israel, lobbied heavily to remove the Iran provision in the supplemental, arguing that the measure would weaken President Bush's attempts to dissuade Iran from developing nuclear weapons." This intervention by AIPAC to permit President Bush to act without Congressional debate was widely reported, as was AIPAC's earlier intervention with a supplemental budget bill. In other words, a Democratic Congress elected to end the Iraq war has willingly given up its right (and responsibility) to engage in public debate prior to a new act of war against Iran, a sovereign nation. By voting to look the other way, Congress has left this war decision to the discretion of an unpopular president, who has already failed once. Why on earth would the Democrats, empowered to change the administration's current foreign policy regime, ignore popular will? One reason, of course, is AIPAC. It is now generally seen by all (but noticed by few) that AIPAC interests dominate US strategy in the Mideast. Its influence over our centralized power centers in Washington and elsewhere is widely discussed. This grip on power is exercised ruthlessly, and frequently, and pre-emptively by AIPAC.<<

Your cynicism is a a vicious cancer from a delusional mind. When the manifestation of the true spirit of Radical Islam becomes fully active in the U.S. or your home country, wherever that is, you will have a deadly wake-up call. You are going to find out who the real enemy is and indeed, the one you accuse, like a father protecting his family, will penetrate you on every level as you realize George Bush was dead right. Like a 16 year old rebellious brat who finally grows up and realizes that mom and dad were not so stupid after all. They are coming here. They are coming to your country also. History will forget Bill Clinton and George Bush will be marked in history as a GREAT PRESIDENT, who took a very unpopular position that put the world on notice, that a very real and present danger was gathering in our midst. But unlike the womanizing glad hander, Clinton, Bush pushed back, and not a moment to soon. You guys disgust me and are Jihadist sympathizers and supporters. To minimize their existence and actions, you are complicit in their bloodshed. Reminds me of Satan, who whispered in the ears of the angels, and sowed the seeds of distrust and rebellion against the Truth, the Word, and the Creator.
