News From Antiwar.com : Netanyahu: Violent Settlers Not 'Terrorists'

Netanyahu is quite correct - attacking military forces is not terrorism so perhaps Israel wll now stop calling all attacks on its military forces terrorism.

And of course no Iranian weapons designers will be allowed any where near all this lovely American kit. Nothing like having a few Abrams to test your anti-tank weapons on!

Mullen is being very sensible. If he had replied to the cadet that "Yes, you may be ordered to shoot down Israeli aircraft if they enter airspace we have control of, But would you be prepared to shoot down an Israeli aircraft if ordered to do so?" The Likudniks in congress would have had have him hung, drawn and quartered in minutes. BTW, that makes me think that the cadet is most likely a Likudnik wannabe/evangelical Zionist and should be flunked on his next test and booted out of the air force pdq.

Syria being told to democratize by the "democracies" of the Arab League, some of whom are almost certainly funding and arming the armed gangs. Perhaps it is time to force "democracy" on the GCC states.

Jason - are you sure that is the full quote? Might it have been that he said "no intention whatsoever at this moment" of attacking Syria.

News From Antiwar.com : Dual US-Libyan Citizen Appointed New Libyan Prime Minister

You mean Khalifa Hifter. Oh, he's still there: "Among the key commanders are the controversial Islamist Abdul Hakim Belhaj, head of the Tripoli military council. Mr. Belhaj's deputy resigned two weeks ago, a potential signal of internal strife. Also important are Khalifa Hifter and Omar al-Hariri, the other main NTC commanders, who are based in Benghazi and are both vying for the job of top military chief. Other figures may yet emerge from the woodwork." It wouldn't surprise me if it later came out that the CIA whacked the rebel military commander Abdel Fattah Younes back in July rather than the Islamists to give their man a head start in the race. But then again the CIA has a long history of using Islamists to fight the CIA's wars and kiss the Saudis' arses!

News From Antiwar.com : Iran: DC Plot Suspect a High Profile MeK Member

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:32:05 +0000

"The group, also known as the National Council of Resistance of Iran, is regarded by Iran as a violent insurgent organization with a history of assassinations and sabotage aimed at overthrowing the Islamic government that took power in 1979." The NY Times disembles yet again. They fail to mention just why the MEK is hated by most Iranians, They fought as shock troops for Saddam Hussein in his brutal and illegal invasion of Iran that the West did nothing to stop, particularly when he used western-supplied chemical weapons against the Iranians. In fact, the west supplied weapons and support to both sides to prolong the war. It pains me to say this but Howard Dean has become a whore in his old age.

So much for the "responsibility to protect". Perhaps it is time for Russia, China, Brazil, India, etc. to become more pro-active in defending the rest of the World from the brutality of the West and its lackeys around the World. How about starting with those paragons of democracy, tolerance, anti-anti-semitism and human rights, Saudi Arabia and Qatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Obama sucking his thumb in the picture above? If he isn't, he should be because his government is behaving like a bunch of small children throwing their rattles out of their prams (baby carriages for users of the American idiom) and hopefully will unite the World in ridiculing their stupidity and hypocrisy. BTW, someone should explain to these idiots that the World consists of far more than Europe, Israel and Micronesia!

News From Antiwar.com : US Ties Iran to Assassination Plot in FBI Sting

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 23:17:33 +0000

I just can't describe how insulted I am by these claims. Does that idiot Holder expect that anyone except complete morons will believe such bullshit? Oops, the Daily Mail in the UK believes them but then Paul Dacre is a moron. BTW, the alleged target of this assassination has been calling on the US to assassinate the political leadership of Iran on behalf of his boss. "One cable quoted Mr. Jubeir, who “recalled the King’s frequent exhortations” to end Iran’s nuclear program. Jubeir is quoted as saying: “He told you to cut off the head of the snake.” http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2011/1...

"French Ambassador Gerard Araud condemned the vetoes as “politically motivated” and promised that the EU would continue to move forward with efforts to demand Syria change their policy." As if the resolution itself wasn't politically motivated! Washington stupid has now become endemic in Paris as it has been for years in London, although it has mutated into a more virulent form with the current zombies in Whitehall.
