Who's Planning Our Next War? - 0 views

  • He failed with North Korea. Will he accept failure in Iran, though there is no hard evidence Iran has an active nuclear weapons program?
    • liveinfreedom .
       
      N. Korea a FAILURE; he says. Here's a perfect example of OPINION bullshit. Buchanan must know something I don't know or he don't know what I know about N.Korea. When a rogue nation like N.Korea invites American technicians to help them remove thier nuclear prosesses then how can Buchanan say that Bush has failed in N. Korea. As of the 28 Jue 2008 , N.Korea has "demolished" the nuclear reactor cooling towers there in N.Korea. I don't know WHY Buchanan says that Bush has failed in N.Korea...so stay tuned in to Buchanan
    • liveinfreedom .
       
      This report by Buchanan has to the WORST one that he has ever published. Is Buchanan wrong or not? I'm really puzzled by this report from Buchanan because it contradicts everything that I know about the Iran issues.
  • William Kristol of The Weekly Standard said Sunday a U.S. attack on Iran after the election is more likely should Barack Obama win.
  • Ehud Olmert came home from a June meeting with Bush to tell Israelis: "We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. ... I left with a lot less question marks regarding the means, the timetable restrictions and American resoluteness. ...

  • "George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on the matter before the end of his term
  • Israel lacks the stealth and cruise-missile capacity to degrade Iran's air defenses systematically and no longer has the element of surprise.
  • For the U.S. military to let Israel over-fly Iraq would make us an accomplice.
  • Israel would also have to over-fly Turkey, or Syria and U.S.-occupied Iraq, or Saudi Arabia to reach Natanz. Turks, Syrians and Saudis would deny Israel permission and might resist.
  • Would Iran attack Israel with rockets, inviting retaliation with Jericho and cruise missiles from Israeli submarines? Would she close the Gulf with suicide-boat attacks on tankers and U.S. warships?
  • Vice President Cheney is said to favor U.S. strikes. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Mullins are said to be opposed.
  • Moving through Congress, powered by the Israeli lobby, is House Resolution 362, which demands that President Bush impose a U.S. blockade of Iran, an act of war.
  •  
    I find this one hard to believe about N. Korea. Israel appears to be assured that America will aid with intervening in Iran.
  •  
    Is Buchanan WRONG with his analysis...It appears that he is WRONG and has made a terrible BLUNDER that aids the enemies to use his comments as propaganda against America, thereby degrading America's image in the wordl.

  • Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, said in February that Iran was close to acquiring Russian-produced SA-20 surface-to-air missiles. American military officials said that the deployment of such systems would hamper Israel's attack planning, putting pressure on Israel to act before the missiles are fielded.

  • He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.
  • we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It's not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement," he said.
  •  
    A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.

    Israel is telling America that Iran IS NOT getting a nuc weapon. HOORAY! AND! Obama IS a threat to America as is Iran

  • "In Canada, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute, nor should it be," the commission's statement said. "By portraying Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics, including being a threat to 'the West,' this explicit expression of Islamophobia further perpetuates and promotes prejudice toward Muslims and others."
  • "The problem with so-called hate speech laws is that they're not about facts," he said in a telephone interview. "They're about feelings."

    "'Moses was high on hallucinogenic drug when he received Ten Commandments,' claims top academic Last updated at 00:20 05 March 2008 Comments (0) Share When Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, he was summoned right to the top of Mount Sinai. But the man who led the Children of Israel to safety may have been even higher at the time, if an Israeli academic is to be believed. Psychology professor Benny Shanon says it was likely Moses was hallucinating under the influence of a mind-altering drug at the time of his biblical achievements."

Judaism 101: Who Is a Jew? - 0 views

  • The original name for the people we now call Jews was Hebrews. The word "Hebrew" (in Hebrew, "Ivri") is first used in the Torah to describe Abraham (Gen. 14:13). The word is apparently derived from the name Eber, one of Abraham's ancestors. Another tradition teaches that the word comes from the word "eyver," which means "the other side," referring to the fact that Abraham came from the other side of the Euphrates, or referring to the fact Abraham was separated from the other nations morally and spiritually.
  • A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism.
  •  
    Many people need to know how a person who is of Jewish ancestry is defined.

Israel 'will attack Iran' before new US president sworn in, John Bolton predicts - Tele... - 1 views

  • "It's clear that the administration has essentially given up that possibility," he said. "I don't think it's serious any more. If you had asked me a year ago I would have said I thought it was a real possibility. I just don't think it's in the cards."
  • The "optimal window" for strikes would be between the November 4 election and the inauguration on January 20, 2009.
  • But waiting for either Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, or his Republican opponent John McCain to be installed in the White House could preclude military action happening for the next four years or at least delay it.

  • An Obama victory would rule out military action by the Israelis because they would fear the consequences given the approach Obama has taken to foreign policy,"
  • The Iran policy of Mr McCain, whom Mr Bolton supports, was "much more realistic than the Bush administration's stance"
  • William Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative, told Fox News on Sunday that an Obama victory could prompt Mr Bush to launch attacks against Iran. "If the president thought John McCain was going to be the next president, he would think it more appropriate to let the next president make that decision than do it on his way out,"
  •  
    This strategy makes sense but, again it may change tomorrow.
