It was out intervention in 1953 that led us to this. We started it. And that was just one little coup. We've done far more profitable things in Iraq. Just think of how much fun we have to look forward to in the next 50 or 60 years.

We'll never learn. We'll just overthrow their Government, again, and pray that it works, again. Except it won't work, ever. Oh well, at least a small sliver of folks will make huge profits and have a good time killing and getting killed securing those profits.

We don't care when they get killed so much though, they come home in the dark. We care when they get killed on American soil on their own base. Americans die overseas everyday but we fly the flag at half mast when they die to "friendly fire" in Texas. Will there be massive media coverage of the Fort Hood dead and spectacle funerals while American soldiers continue to come home from war zones in boxes in the dark?

Dear Antiwar Proponents,

Kiss our asses.

Domestic concerns drive EVERYTHING. Healthcare, Abortion, Education, Climate Change. Most Americans put those concerns above Foreign Policy, way above it, they view it as a mere pawn to be sacrificed for vote producing bread and circuses. They said so themselves and some still do in these very comments going on over nine months now.

You notice that Peace Laureate Obama hasn't announced his escalation number yet? He doesn't want to risk political capital. HEALTHCARE comes FIRST to WE THE PEOPLE (right now), Medea Benjamin is showing off her ass in case it wasn't clear enough, antiwar folks can kiss it. The Empire doesn't come first to WE THE PEOPLE, it is somewhere near the bottom actually, power comes first and the Empire wouldn't have it any other way.

From Joe Klein:

It should start by putting a hold on all economic and military aid to Israel; the aid should not be discontinued, just held, for a nice long review until the Netanyahu government comes to understand that Jerusalem must be the capital of both Israel and Palestine

Or how about the capital of one state where Palestinians and Jews have equal right and protections under the law? Like a Democracy and stuff. Let the demographics play out as nature/God/flying spaghetti monster intended. It looks like God's hand is moving back after Zionist men tried to move it themselves. Sucks for them.

But yeah, good luck to both sides. I wish them all the best in slaughtering each other, I only wish they would leave us out of it. Peace Laureate Obama has low approval rating among the Israelis anyway and murdercide is what the Israelis voted for so we should stop holding them back and let them enjoy it more. That goes for all of our other friends in the region too, like those evil evil Saudis that Glenn "loves". Wouldn't that be another logical consequence as well? That we would stop bribing Egypt to seal that border?

If only it were that simple. If we took our hands off how would the honorable Alan Grayson vote when Israel wants to increase sanctions against Iran or whitewash Israeli war crimes? AIPAC would get awfully bored. Although Philip Giraldi on Antiwar.com had a good idea for a lobby named X Street.

A Manifesto for X Street

by Philip Giraldi, November 05, 2009

It has been an interesting week. President Barack Obama is about to approve a strategy of holding urban centers in Afghanistan while surrendering the rest of the country to the Taliban. Someone should tell him that something like that called "strategic hamlets" was tried and failed in Vietnam. Meanwhile Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu tells Obama to go to hell on freezing settlements so Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rewards him by praising his "unprecedented concessions" and blames the Palestinians for not talking peace. Congress also demonstrated that it knows who to blame by overwhelmingly passing a resolution condemning the UN’s Goldstone report which documented Israeli atrocities in Gaza last January. And there have also been more harsh words and resolutions coming out of Washington about Iran from numerous parties, heightening concerns that another war is coming.

...

Following the example of the currently fashionable pro-Israel group J Street, which chose a Washington DC letter street that does not actually exist for the name of its lobby, I would like to propose a new lobby that would also be based on a non-address, X Street. Membership in X Street will be open to all American citizens of every race, national origin, and religious belief. It will be guided by a unifying principle, that preservation of the liberties defined in the constitution and support of the national interest of the United States should be the sole objectives of any and all foreign policy. It would be the modern embodiment of George Washington’s warning to steer clear of foreign involvements and to be a friend to all.

What's thing? The Jewish State? 1 State + 2 Decades. the math has already been done.

Too bad for racists like Spoincy and Calamine. They had better get to killing, get some ethnic cleansing on if there is really going to be One [Jewish] State.
