To the naysayers who saw the war as an overreach of Big Oil and the consolidation of extra-constitutional powers, the withdrawal is a victory by American and Iraqi resistors of the administration's campaign to deceitfully justify terrorism and Halliburtonian (rather than American) oil-based profiteering. To the administration (both going and coming), containing WMD capabilities and their associated usage probabilities in Iran, Afganistan, and Pakistan provided the original incentive to attack Iran and Pakistan and continues to drive military strategy. The expanded US/NATO efforts in Afghanistan threaten Russian dominance over the oil in the Casian region. But it will not be lost on them that the United States has a strategic interest in being able to manage Pakistani terrorism and block Islamic militants from taking over the Pakistani government's nuclear submarines. The Russians will also see the move as an effort to obtain a base from which to launch attacks on their soon-to-go nuclear allies in Iran.Ziontalkracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147196188876321071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058074156271768440.post-30600225372907175252008-11-10T14:14:00.000-05:002008-11-10T14:14:00.000-05:00Good for people to know.Good for people to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058074156271768440.post-68219734813160673082007-08-01T23:14:00.000-05:002007-08-01T23:14:00.000-05:00Because it's not about talk; it's about technology...Because it's not about talk; it's about technology. Technology makes talk consequential. The U.S. has the technology (grants) to make listening consequential. <BR/><BR/>I wish this was about PR attitude-damage control vis a vis Iraq. <BR/><BR/>For politically participating American, European, and Moderate Muslim consumerists, survival requires deterrence. For the ruling elites in Iran, success requires a nuclear technology of aggression through which deterrence can be made contingent on complicity with the Arab/Islamicist honor destroying of Israel. Russia has reverted to its Soviet-era ways of clandestine coalitions that initiate campaigns of military intimidation and status quo destabilization while managing public relations by defensively adopting a friendly diplomat stance which pursues its war objectives by other means -- in a manner consistent with this current anonymous comment. Like Russia, Europe has a long history of collusion with the bullying and burning of Jews and, like America, lacks the financial and military resources to stand up against the Jihadists. <BR/><BR/>The goal of each successive Anglo American ruling elitist is peace today at the expense of a possible powder keg tomorrow. Meanwhile, the proto-civilized jihadists, complicit Saudi sponsors, and complacent media lurkers accelerate the positioning of tumblers along the so-called road to peace. For America, success requires Saudi sponsorship which ultimately matters most. For the Saudis, Israel is an embarrassment to be removed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058074156271768440.post-86518426626691130482007-08-01T15:01:00.000-05:002007-08-01T15:01:00.000-05:00Once again the US administration is too late to th...Once again the US administration is too late to the dinner table in the middle east peace process and doing everything wrong in their approach on foreign policy. It's like being inivited to a dinner party and showing up to the wrong house on the wrong date.<BR/><BR/>So why will any middle east country listen to what the US has to say?<BR/><BR/>Maybe because the Bush Administration is trying to sell 60 Billions dollars worth of WMD weapons to all of the middle east countries that need a change of attitude on the way the Iraq war is being handled by the White House and Dept of Defense.<BR/><BR/>Selling Weapons to dictatorships and human rights abusers will not help the credibility of the US around the world. On the contrary, it will increase the justfication of Irans nuclear program and spur on more arms deals by China and Russia to anyone with a need.<BR/><BR/>This "peace" posturing by the White House is more about going after Iran( and their influence in Iraq) than the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Its about the entire middle east regions history and the desire of Iran to have a new Persian empire rise again to conquer and rule it's neighbors.<BR/><BR/>PM Olmert might be coming to the peace table ready with some concessions but other people like past PM Netenyahu is trying to persuade the US government to act right now against Iran; otherwises they might attack Israel directly and/or attack via Syria,Lebanon and Gaza.<BR/><BR/>Everyone in the region seems to be flexing their muscles. So how can brains succeed over braun? I don't know, but a good start would be to invest 60 billion dollars in alternative energy resources and take Oil off the dinner the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
