USA - bleeding for Israel

[Klucker]

The Neoconservative Persuasion.

… If there is an intellectual movement in America to whose invention Jews can lay sole claim, neoconservatism is it. ..

.. a dramatic, history-altering gesture was necessary to reshape the entire Middle East. The intransigent Iraqi dictator appeared to be the perfect target and Iraq the perfect first domino that, once tipped, would remodel the region. .. The Bush administration never acknowledged these reasons during the buildup to the war …

.. two new books have arrived to help us: "The Neoconservative Revolution: Jewish Intellectuals and the Shaping of Public Policy," by Murray Friedman, a neoconservative intellectual and longtime official of the American Jewish Committee, who passed away earlier this year, and "Commentary in American Life," a series of essays on the neoconservative house organ, edited by Friedman. …

Costly Withdrawal Is the Price To Be Paid for a Foolish War.

.. The question is no longer if American forces will be withdrawn, but how soon — and at what cost. …

… For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president's men. If convicted, they'll have plenty of time to mull over their sins.

Sharon said in 2001 "We control America and Americans know it."

I think he was referring to largely AIPAC and the myriad other organizations they own... and their active presence... in every level of our government... spying as they wish... on many ethnic/religious groups insideously... using all the information at hand for their own use.

Amazingly they have made it all appear as business as usual... and a free and democratic society. It is indeed impressive how such a small group can achieve this kind of control yet the consumer Dingos and Dumbos of America... and us taxpayers have to fund it all.

Yet, they are only about 2.5% of the American nation... in the mosaic of more than 100 different ethnic groups most being much larger than them making the American society at large. America is a great cash cow... besides fighting their wars and their own created enemies in the M.E.

Americans have to help with the project of integrating Israel into the European Union.

The American ideology of 'we the people' and belief in the 'rule of the majority' seems to make it difficult for the US political system to control intelligent, self-interested and well organized minorities such as the Israeli lobby.
