Calling Out Bush's War in Gaza
It may well be that in denouncing "Israel's" attack on Gaza one, in an important way, unwittingly does a disservice to the cause of holding the Bush Administration accountable for its crimes.
Is there any doubt that the Bush Administration approved this assault? Is there any doubt that it could not have taken place without the Bush Administration's approval?
Is there any doubt that it could not continue without the support of the Bush Administration and the protective umbrella of its veto at the UN Security Council? Is there any doubt that it will stop the very day that the Bush Administration says that it must?
If so, is it in the interest of humanity that we Americans engage in the charade that the Israeli government is an autonomous actor in this matter?
All these observations are true in general, but we have plenty of specific evidence in this case.
In August, Haaretz reported that the U.S. had "rejected an Israeli request for military equipment and support that would improve Israel's ability to attack Iran's nuclear facilities."
The Americans viewed the request, which was transmitted (and rejected) at the highest level, as a sign that Israel is in the advanced stages of preparations to attack Iran. They therefore warned Israel against attacking, saying such a strike would undermine American interests. They also demanded that Israel give them prior notice if it nevertheless decided to strike Iran.
In early September, Haaretz reported that the request had included GBU-28 "bunker-buster" bombs.
In mid-September, the U.S. agreed instead to sell Israel 1000 GBU-39 "bunker buster" bombs which Israeli military experts said "could provide a powerful new weapon" in Gaza, AP reported.
These bombs have been used to bomb tunnels in Gaza in the current offensive, the Jerusalem Post reports. Israel claims that its goal in bombing tunnels is to stop the smuggling of weapons, but tunnels are also used to bring in goods, so blowing up tunnels has the effect of reinforcing the blockade on Gaza.
So: when Israel requested weapons that the U.S. expected would be used for bombing Iran, the U.S. said no, and added explicitly that it did not want to see an Israeli attack on Iran. And there was no Israeli attack on Iran.
Instead, the U.S. provided bombs that it had every reason to believe would be used for an attack on Gaza. And now there is an Israeli attack on Gaza, using those very bombs.
And therefore, there is no reason to doubt the active approval of the United States government for the current attack.
So, if one happens to be living in the United States, it seems clear that one's complaints ought to be addressed to U.S. officials. You can write to President Bush and your Congressional representatives here and to President-elect Obama here.

I am not a fan about all of his views but he wants justice for the people in the Gaza Strip. He is putting his life on the line with this story.
Connect the dotz and see the pattern, kidz!!! . . .;-)

"On October 3, 2001, I.A.P. News reported that according to Israel Radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael an acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Peres warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us. "Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America."

"According to ABC’s 20/20, when the van belonging to the cheering Israelis was stopped by the police, the driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers: 'We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem."

"On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: 'It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)'"

For long time readers of this ol' fool from North Cackilacki, I break it down like this:
1. Group 1 - Zionists that are into this "Eratz Israel" scheme complete with the destruction of the United States to be replaced by a "North American Union" controlled by a shadow corporate "ogliarchy".
2. Group 2 - Opportunist pigs that are just into personal power, wealth, "perverted perks", and advancement that are easily BRIBED by the likes of Jack "Candy Man" Abramoff and company.
3. Group 3 - Zionist victims that are being BLACKMAILED by MOSSAD and their 5th Column. Knowing that ANYONE, no matter how noble and good, can be "Michael Jackson'd" by the Zionist Media Machine and destroyed by the likes of Rubert "War Criminal" Murdoch. With the NSA machine turned against WE THE PEOPLE, all you have to do is look at how Rahm "No, I'm THE Decider" Emanuel is taking down yet another U.S. Governor with domestic spying and media assassination.
4. Group 4 - Fighters of the Good Fight . . . Folks like brothers President Jimmy Carter, Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Willie Nelson, Michael Rivero, Alex Jones, and our very own David "You Still Rock" Swanson . . . and sisters like Cindy Sheehan and Cynthia McKinney, etc. that can't be bribed, blackmailed, or intimidated to back down. All they can do is try to keep US from being heard by media blackouts, censorship, and ad-hominem attacks.
Like I've said many times, I'll quit fighting Patriarchal Fascism (ZIONISM) when they pry the rubber chicken and the whoopie cushion from my cold dead fingers, kidz!!!
The WORLD is finally seeing "Our Special Friend" for what they really are, kidz . . . a Murderous Genocidal Racist Apartheid State with delusions of being the World Master Race based on a hi-jacked pedigree that will use ANY and ALL tactics to achieve their aims. . . from the attacks on the U.S.S. Liberty, to stealing nuclear secrets and selling them to our "enemies" like Jonathon Pollard, to the Anthrax attacks by Dr. Philip "Camel Club" Zack, to the "False Flag" controlled demolition and MURDER of 3000 Americans 9/11 by MOSSAD's "Urban Moving Systems" and BushCo, to the complete destruction of the U.S. Economy by Sith Lord Rothschild's Federal Reserve and the likes of Benjamin "Ponzi To Israel" Madoff . . . after all, it's not like we "Goyim" are real PEOPLE with RIGHTS or anything, kidz . . .;-)
"Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground,
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down"

Always a carrot hanging out there. I know who each of those great people you mentioned are --- I personally met miss Lillian at a peanut store somewhere in (Plains?)Georgia ... her son is the best ex-president we have.
I do not know anybody besides myself who recognizes those names. Over the years I have been right time and again about lies told to us. Nobody ever says, "EW, you were right." I do have Kucinich signs on my garage alongside "Impeach Bush". Nobody says a word to me about them ... for or against. Simply amazing. Good to hear from you.

Yeah, I'm connecting "the dotz" - and what I see is a Racist Dip-Shit, deliberately avoiding the point:
"...in the United States, it seems clear that one's complaints ought to be addressed to U.S. officials."
The opposite of "goyim" is not "Israeli". It is "Jew". Your interest, sir, is clearly not for America, nor its people - nor, one suspects, for the Palestinians either - but for your Hatred of Jews. DipShit.
Just in case anyone needed to be told...
Keep us posted. Could it be true? Don't want to even think it.
Good to see you back, Frederick.
I should consider. Read Willy's post re Hal Turner. Thanks.
Still glad to see you back, Frederick.
In a Middle East valedictory speech on 5 December, summing up the nearly eight years of his two administrations, George W. Bush declared that "the Middle East in 2008 is a freer, more hopeful, and more promising place than it was in 2001."
Here is why Daniel Pipes disagrees:
"Count some of the important ways things are now worse:
George W. Bush delivering his swan song on the Middle East.
Iran is closer to nuclear weapons, perhaps the single most alarming development of Bush's era.
Pakistan is close to becoming a nuclear-armed, Islamist rogue state.
The price of oil reached all time highs and only collapsed in recent months due to a U.S.-led recession.
Turkey has gone from being a stalwart ally to the most anti-American country in the world.
The doctrine of preemption has been discredited.
Arab rejectionism of Israel has spread.
Democracy efforts in Egypt have collapsed.
Hizbullah grows in power in Lebanon.
Hamas took power in Gaza and may next control the West Bank.
The Taliban may again run Afghanistan.
And Iraq? Bush made an almost direct reply to my appeal since 2003 to place a "democratically-minded strongman" in power in Baghdad, stating that "when Saddam's regime fell, we refused to take the easy option and install a friendly strongman in his place." Bush remains convinced he did the right thing, I remain convinced that the Iraq story will end badly for the United States."
What are the positive Bush legacies? Pipes counted two. No Saddam Hussein in Iraq and a Libya that is only quasi hostile. (December 5, 2008)
