It’s not irritating or annoying TO ME that you point out the facts of American neocon involvement. However, it’s light years beyond annoying that Americans have somehow come to allow it. One aspect of this complex mess is my hope that if enough Americans learn more, they won’t allow it… a perhaps gratingly simplistic statement.

Anyway, it’s a fair question you asked, because millions of Americans are so lightly informed. I can’t imagine getting anywhere here with a comment including references to Jabotinsky, the Sykes-Picot agreement, or this being an Anglo-Saudi operation.

He or she seems to be making decisions without a true or realistic anchor, sort of like trying to direct a ship without a compass, deliberately obtuse to the truth.

Or maybe the truth is too difficult to acknowledge and incorporate, (though denial is not desirable in a time of war, in the heat of battle).

And for a nation that in part seems to predicate it’s ability to thrive on PR, a nation who seems to think its war is PR, and PR control, I find that fact ironic.

(Or given Pat Lang’s essay, yesterday, not surprising).

Seems as if Israel is fighting a PR war against the world public — strange way to direct severely limited Israeli resources, at a false flag.

BTW, no nation is ever faultless, or perfect, esp. in a time of war. Part of winning is having those around you who will speak truth to power. Denial is fatal.

(Think Richard Perle, say, or Henry Kissinger).

AS well as admisntration aid to Israel?

Many of Cheney’s staff also have questionable relationships to the Israeli government, think Doug Feith.

I understand this subject is grating.

This is not a war. This is an inhuman occupation with massacre splattered on as a sort of macabre icing, with fellow human beings being subjected to a hell beyond most of our ability to comprehend.

For a stunning film on the situation in Palestine, see this on-line film (roughly 90 minutes long):

Remember Clarence Thomas would not be on the Supreme Court, if it weren’t for Biden’s screwing up the Senate hearings. It was Biden who called off the hearings before other women, who were prepared to corroborate Anita Hill’s testimony, could speak. Read Strange Justice for the details.

Also, there is a reason so many corporations and especially credit card companies choose DE as their corporate headquarters. They are protected in DE. It is a state that has a long history of supporting anything corporate over the welfare of consumers and employees. And yet, after years of supporting this system in DE and these big money companies, Biden ran on the imagine of being a “regular Joe.” There is nothing about him that is middle-class or ever was. (Even his family was very wealthy before his father lost their money.)

DE is one of the most corrupt states in the country. I have family that used to live there. Nothing gets done except for lots of unnecessary road construction. The health care system is deadly. The schools are dreadful. They have the highest number per capita of middle class kids on drugs. It is polluted and a mess. The Bidens (father and son) are a big part of the power structure that runs that state….Being such a small state everyone knows everyone else; they all hang out at the same country clubs and go to the same parties. It is very inbred.

Biden may also be a “drinker.” I don’t know, but he acts like one. It may be that he is just drunk on power and high on the fact that he can charm anyone–it seems–out of anything. I think he and BO are perfectly matched. Neither knows what he is doing and both are now at the top of their incompetence and game….

One thing, I have a feeling he will undo Cheney’s legacy of a too-powerful VP. The Obama people seem to be keeping Biden out of the public eye. They have to be suffering buyers’ remorse.
