How can anyone wonder why folks in the middle east hate U.S.

Am I the only one who thinks the deployment of the U.S. Cole in those waters is an invitation?

And you’re probably right, but Cheney will lose, as he has for the past seven years.

IMO it’s expected he will lose, he’s a moron.

But despite having this MORON call strategy, how do you capitalize on it, on his weaknesses, which, in his case, is a very soft intellect?

What is very sad to me, though, is the shift in Israeli position, in terms of being a middle east power.

As compared to seven years ago, they now seem only to have as much soft power as the Palestinians. And this is Israel.

I know they have the weapons, but the rest of the middle east is now armed very well, terrorists and all. And Iran now has Russia, and China, who can use Israel as wedge issue against the US, to isolate, in the Middle East. Israel exacerbates the issue by mindlessly fighting, like Cheney, and they lose more and more traction with each militaristic go around.

And that’s the future of the US under the neocons, and Obama, who thinks like a neocon, or takes direction from one.

I’m starting to view this as an organized asymmetric war against Israel, with Israel responding as poorly as the American neocons, ie invoke violence, and Israel WILL respond, like a trained puppy.

IMO, YMMV, but it does give a different perspective, seeing it as whole, instead of a succession of unconnected battles.

It’s like looking at art, trying to see something from different perspectives, cubist, or abstract expressionism.

I wonder if Adm Fallon was indeed “cut out of the decision loop”.

Reading the links G. Hazeltine provided, esp. the first, it reinforced the image of Rumsfeld and Cheney as being isolated, and paranoid, not fully able to recognize, understand and integrate all the differing, conflicting factors needed to succeed, unable to even approach a cohesive decision.

People caught within their own web do not make good decisions, especially when they’re conflicted about corruption.

But can you imagine deliberately fixing a war game, like a Hollywood movie, say, and then using those results to make reality based decisions, simply because your ego can’t resolve a defeat, and you’re unable to problem solve?

This is the US Military, defense of our country, not a beauty contest, fixed so the little girls don’t get their feelings hurt, ie, we’re all winners, aren’t we?

Wow.

All apologies, I’m trying.

Ever.

At this point, your willful ignorance has become a defensive, not a good sign for you.

I agree with this, and could have elaborated to include other interests

.

Please do, the more information, the better.

And you’re right, tHAT civilians have to suffer for all these wannabe cartoon warriors is garbage.

That has to stop.
