DEATH TO THE CAPITALIST BANKER LOVING, SLAVE DRIVING IMPERIALIST SCUM! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33464940 For 30 years the crazies have been restless. OT - Saudi Arabia slams Israeli strike on Syria as flagrant violation [link to twitter.com (secure)] I thought KSA was our friend; and Israel's secret friend. Is this for real or one of those "we had to say it" statements they make in public while they are saying something else in private? Back to Pool & Friend, Michael Moore, between all-you-can-eat bouts, occasionally makes a good point. I don't know who A/C is. He could be Syrian, or crazy, or looking to start fight. But, if he is Canadian & he supports Syria, Moore would say that his attitude is a symptom of the fact that Western gov'ts lie to their people. We've been lied to so many times we think everything is a lie. Many lies have been told about Syria. One thing is true. The Assads aren't nice people. Assad is an ass. His father was a sociopath. His brother, Maher, is a sociopath. The people around the Assads are thugs, murderers, thieves, complete scum. The same could be said about the Gaddafis EXCEPT Muammar had a certain rogue's charm the Assads are sorely lacking. He also tended to notice that the emperor was butt naked - which I appreciated. That said, the "bad guys" of the Middle East are in fact bad guys - don't let the inti-imperialism propaganda & the fact that our own country in FUBAR fool you. Just sayin' |

Esp the strikes this past week, almost as a bluff to the persian netwk to strike after their bold, an attack on syria is an attack on iran, rhetoric which was kennedy esque, or even teddy rosvltesque, the west, using israel as the wedge overtly is willing to take the fight to yhem. I for one back the move by israel as i do not believe we must wait to have damage inflicted upon us to act. The fact that rumors are saying that israel sent woêrd to both us and russian sources on the 22nd send the signal that russia may not be 100% behind assad. We all know that russia is partnered with assad bc its an easy buck. Israel is dealing with a time bomb. They have 3 months max till the egyptian unrest spills over the borders of revolt and mayhem. While egyot fights within, israel / west must deal with iranian cells visa ve hezbollah, hamas and rev grd. Bc israel will not deal with, nor should a nation a bit larger than new jersey, an enemy at every gate as they faced back in the 70s. In the end tho, its clear to see that the political and sociological theorists of the 90s and 00s got it wrong. The resource wars and clash of civilizations phases of the so called post cold war age are morphing into one. ... Sorry if that was a rant, i usually just follow this thread for the past few yrs, never comment. Just wanted to know if u think this is a shift in policy, we struck, the spy plane is still in orbit, now we publicly offer talks... srems we hold thr trump card. How will iran play thouh? |

Hezbollah is still a terror group, why Europe does not understand this is a question. Iran is solidifying her axis by enticing Morsi to join the axis, Israel having to deal with Egypt too is a daunting task at a minimum. Iran marches towards nuclear armed independence. Syria continues to fall apart. North Korea has become more bellicose and daring under the new young leader. Mil Man, what will happen in the north? Just a matter of time and it will fall apart and come to blows. The wind is blowing towards the direction of war, but it like many things requires preparations and one way or another it will come. Purim is a deadline for hostilities to break out at this moment. That in itself raises the possibility of some prophetic results. What about Iran Mil Man? Israel is so stuck right now, it almost guarantees war. Iran needs breathing room and her neighbors being at war would give Iran what it takes to sprint to the finish line. Even then, North Korea and Iran are joined hand in hand and share many things, many things, just remember that. In summary, we are in a cluster f-ck and worse now than ever before, Obama bought the enemy much time to prepare for the coming military conflagaration and that patience he forced upon all will be evident when the massive repercussions come out in the end results. |
