War Without End

Alpha

James Bamford conveys in his new book ('A Pretext for War') that US support for Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians is what contributed to the motivation for the tragic World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and on September 11th, 2001 (9/11). See the timeline at the following URL:

http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2004/08/26/zionist-neocon-timeline-for-war.php

The 9/11 Commission Report (on page 147) also mentions that US support for Israel was why the World Trade Center was attacked in 1993. So the following is how this Israel firster hack Kerry (who is of Jewish descent) is going to protect America?:

KERRY’S ‘UNWAVERING’ COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL

“As president, I will never pressure Israel to make concessions that
will compromise its security. My commitment to a safe and secure Jewish
state is unwavering... We must stand with Israel, supporting our ally's
right to build a security fence... As president, I will use bold
diplomacy to get governments to recognize the growing crisis of
resurgent anti-Semitism, and take action to deal with it...”

AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO REFORMING THE MIDDLE EAST
By John Kerry - Forward (New York) - August 27, 2004
http://www.forward.com/main/article.php?ref=kerry200408251051

Across the Middle East, the United States and Israel are facing a range
of crucial security challenges. We are not secure while Saudi donors
fund terror, while Iran pursues a nuclear weapons programs and while
Syria sponsors terrorist operations. We are not secure while Iraq is at
risk of becoming a haven for terrorists. And we are not secure while
Israel, the one true democracy in the region, remains the victim of an
unrelenting campaign of terror. If we continue without a more effective
strategy, we are not supporting our ally as best we can.

For too long, America has not led, and Iran's program has advanced. Let
me say it plainly: a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. I believe we
must work with our allies to end Iran's nuclear weapons program and be
ready to work with them to implement a range of tougher measures, if
needed. Developing an international coalition enhances our influence by
ensuring that all nations are united in the effort, leaving no room for
Iran to play allies against one another.

The Syria Accountability Act, which I co-sponsored in the Senate, gave
the president authority to sanction Syria, a concrete step against
Syria's support for terror and its occupation of Lebanon. As president,
I will never delay implementing sanctions as the Bush administration
did
for many months.

The greatest long-term strategic threat to U.S.-Israeli relations is
U.S. dependence on Mideast oil. A new national security policy demands
an end to that dependence. For too long, America has lost its voice
when
talking about the policies and practices of some governments in the
Persian Gulf. If we are serious about energy independence, then we can
finally be serious about confronting the role of Saudi Arabia in
financing and providing ideological backing for Islamic fundamentalist
jihadists. This is a problem that this administration has ignored --
and
one that must be addressed.

I have a plan for energy independence from Mideast oil in the next 10
years. I will invest in the research and exploration needed to develop
renewable energy sources. I will take the lead in developing the new
technology and production methods needed to ensure that resources such
as coal and natural gas are used more efficiently and cleanly, and
fully
integrated into the new energy economy. I want an America that relies
on
its own ingenuity and innovation and not the Saudi royal family.

As president, I will use bold diplomacy to get governments to recognize
the growing crisis of resurgent anti-Semitism, and take action to deal
with it -- not hide it. Silence will never prevail -- either abroad or
at home. As president, I will support the creation of an office within
the State Department dedicated to combating anti-Semitism, as well as
adding reporting on acts of anti-Semitism around the world to the State
Department's annual human rights reporting.

I will work with the United Nations and our allies to bolster security
in Iraq so that we can meet our goals for elections and speed up
reconstruction. I will launch a massive effort to train and equip Iraqi
security forces, so that they can take over the security of their
nation, allowing us to draw down our troops in an orderly manner.

These steps will be vastly more effective when backed by a long-term
strategy to change the political equation in the Middle East, to
empower
reformers and foster democracy.

I will launch an aggressive public diplomacy campaign in Arab and
Muslim
countries to tackle head-on the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda
that fuels ignorance and hatred. This will be a part of an expansive
American-led, international effort to promote democratic reforms
throughout the Middle East by supporting secular education, business
development and educational initiatives. By carefully targeting aid and
development programs we can most effectively bolster civil society
groups to take action to advance reform.

American leadership is needed to bolster Israel's security at home as
well as in the region. I believe that we must stand with Israel,
supporting our ally's right to build a security fence and to allow its
own Supreme Court -- not the International Court of Justice -- to
address the issue of the route of the fence. The fence has proven its
value as an anti-terror measure.

I believe, in addition, that the withdrawal from Gaza, which Prime
Minister Sharon announced in April, holds great promise. Indeed, this
step enjoys overwhelming support among Israelis. It must receive our
support and backing as well.

The success of the withdrawal also requires a real Palestinian effort
to
establish security -- to ensure Gaza does not remain a haven for
terrorists to launch attacks on Israel. Experience has made very clear
that for the Palestinians to meet this key test, new Palestinian
leadership is required, as Yasser Arafat has proven himself not to be a
partner for peace.

As president, I will work with the Palestinian community to empower
new,
responsible Palestinian leadership committed to a permanent end to
terror and the promotion of democracy. I will ensure that allies are
united in this effort, not working at cross-purposes by propping up a
failed Palestinian power structure. This kind of tough and frank
diplomacy will be a hallmark of my administration. We will magnify our
power and restore American influence to enhance our own security and
that of our allies. We will restore our alliances and we will lead. But
we will never compromise America's special relationship with our ally
Israel. As president, I will never pressure Israel to make concessions
that will compromise its security.

My commitment to a safe and secure Jewish state is unwavering. For 19
years, this is a pledge I have kept in the United States Senate --
whether through my votes on economic aid, military security or the
location of the U.S. Embassy. And it is one I will continue to keep as
I
lead a bold new effort to enhance regional security throughout the
Middle East.

More truth distorted spin and lies from the Israeli Likudite (Ilana) as no wonder Israelis can't be trusted. Of course Sharon said that, but Ilana and other Zionist Jews (who smile as they say that the USA is the 'second state of Israel') don't want the majority of Americans to find this out... Ilana likes to conveniently forget that there wouldn't be any Israel if it weren't for Truman getting bought off by a Zionist in order for him to push Israel through the UN (and Foppe has made an excellent point in that the UN still didn't accept Israel, so perhaps Israel is a fraud at the UN as well). In addition, the USA started pouring US taxpayer dollars into the rogue state of Israel (see the link at www.wrmea.com ) after it deliberately (treacherously) attacked the USS Liberty ( http://www.ussliberty.com ) murdering 34 America sailors and wounding 172 (worse attack on the US Navy in peacetime) and has been able to get away with lying about it ever since. No wonder Israelis know they can get away with that 'mistake' excuse time after time from the USS Liberty attack to the Qana massacre at the UN enclave (which pushed Bin Laden to attack the World Trade Center for US support of Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians as James Bamford conveys on pages 138-145 of his 'A Pretext for War' book) to the murder of Rachel Corrie:

Excellent panel discussion (referred to below) on US policy for Israel can be watched via link at http://wwwcnionline.org

A very valued Jewish contact/friend is Jeffrey Blankfort. Congressman McCloskey represented him in his case against the ADL (see the URL below about such):

http://www.rense.com/general24/adl.htm

Jeff also wrote the following articles:

http://www.leftcurve.org/LC27WebPages/IsraelLobby.html

http://www.leftcurve.org/LC28WebPages/WarForIsrael.html

However, I had never seen Congressman McCloskey speak before. Ambassador Peck was also excellent. So were Ambassador Bird and Mr. Howell.

James Bamford's new book ('A Pretext for War') is a must read with regard to how US support for Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians contributed to the motivation for the tragic World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and on September 11th, 2001 as well. Isn't it interesting that the 9/11 Commission mentions similar on page 147 of its recently released report but does not have changing US policy for Israel as one of its recommendations. 'A Pretext War' also conveys detail on the JINSA/CSP/PNAC Neocon agenda for the invasion of Iraq... Pat Buchanan also has an superb book ('Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency') that was just released in time for the Republican Convention as Chapter 2 is all about the neocon hijacking of the Bush presidency. I don't agree with all the positions that Buchanan has taken with his prior and present writings (against the UN and similar), but he is absolutely spot on with his position on the neocons. Chapter 2 of his new book expands on his 'Whose War?' article:

The fourth paragraph illustrates why Kerry is more deadly than the
moron Israel firster (Bush). Same ideas but Kerry will get allies to push forth his
policies.

Kerry appoints Mel Levine top Mideast adviser

---------------------------------
Tom Tugend, THE JERUSALEM POST Aug. 16, 2004
---------------------------------

When Washington goes its own way and disrespects its allies, it
hurts not only the United States, but Israel as well, insists Mel
Levine.
"Whenever America is diminished in the eyes of the world, it does
Israel no favor," said Levine, who as John Kerry's newly appointed
top adviser on the Middle East is expected to play a major role in
shaping the Democrat's policy on region.
During an interview in his law office, the former congressman from
West Los Angeles was addressing himself to concerns that Kerry's
advocacy of a multilateral US foreign policy might mean greater
pressure on Israel for concessions to the Palestinians and
surrounding Arab states.
Not so, said Levine, "but if we cannot convince Europe, Russia and
other countries to keep nuclear weapons away from Iran, to fight
terrorism, and to exert greater leverage on Arab countries, we will
fail," and thereby weaken Israel.
To gauge Kerry's attitude toward Israel, one need only look at his
votes during 20 years in the US Senate, according to Levine.
"By every rating and criterion, Kerry's votes have shown 100 percent
solid support for Israel," he said. "That's well understood in his
home state of Massachusetts, but not yet throughout the rest of the
country."
Levine's appointment as chair of the Kerry campaign's Middle East
Policy Working Group has been hailed by Jewish spokesmen and
organizations as a reassurance that Israel's interests will have an
eloquent voice in Kerry's inner circle.
As congressman and member of the House foreign affairs committee
from 1983 to 1993, Levine was among Israel's strongest supporters.
His clashes with former Secretary of State James Baker on the Middle
East policies of the first President Bush have become part of
Washington folklore.
Representing the US, Levine has also had considerable experience in
dealing with the Arab side.
At Vice President Al Gore's request, he served as co-president, with
Arab-American James Zogby, of Builders for Peace, a private sector
initiative to make the West Bank economy more competitive that,
despite its good intentions, largely failed.
Following the 1998 Wye Plantation accords, Levine chaired the US-
Israel-Palestinian "anti-incitement" task force. He learned from
this experience that incitement has to be confronted directly and
aggressively, a lesson he is passing on to Kerry.
Until recently, he served on the board of the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee (AIPAC), but has cut his activities in advocacy
groups since becoming chairman of the non-political Community
Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.
The Middle East Policy Working Group, said Levine, is not a formal
committee with regular meetings and joint policy formulations. "I
will be seeking informal and informed input from other members, and
then render my advice," Levine said.
He also believes that with Kerry's long service on the Senate
foreign relations committee and his global outlook, "he won't need
much policy guidance. Unlike other presidents, whose previous
experiences were as state governors, Kerry will hit the ground
running."
When Jewish Republicans and Democrats argue the merits of their
presidential candidates, and whether sizeable chunks of the
overwhelmingly Democratic Jewish community will defect this time to
President Bush, Republicans stress the incumbent's pro-Israel
record. Democrats – while not conceding that their man is any less
pro-Israel – emphasize the Bush administration's perceived domestic
policy failures.
Edward Sanders, an elder statesman of the Los Angeles and national
Jewish communities, and who served as President Jimmy Carter's
Middle East and Jewish relations adviser, has no doubt about his
priorities. "I couldn't vote for a candidate who is good for Israel
and bad on everything else," said the veteran Democrat and Kerry
supporter. "What's good for a strong and respected United States is
good for Israel."
Levine acknowledges that the Democrats may not quite retain the 80
percent of the Jewish vote they got in the last presidential
election, when they fielded Al Gore, a longtime friend of the Jewish
community, and Jewish vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman.
But with Bush and Kerry equally pro-Israel, in Levine's view, Jewish
voters will come down overwhelmingly on Kerry's side on a wide range
of domestic issues.
"On the top of the list is church-state separation, and to say that
the present administration has blurred the line is a significant
understatement," said Levine.
Other issues where Levine perceives serious Bush weaknesses include
privacy rights, energy independence, woman's right to choose, health
care, the environment, and preserving social services.
Veteran Democratic Rep. Howard Berman of California has known Levine
for some 27 years and sees the latter's appointment as "an obvious
statement by Kerry that he will be a strong supporter of Israel and
its security interests.
Another longtime colleague, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles)
praised Kerry's ability to "translate his views into public policy."
In a survey by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, leaders of major
Jewish organizations such as AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, and
the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations
overwhelmingly endorsed the choice of Levine, though some noted that
in the end it would be up to Kerry to act on Levine's
recommendations.

Levine said he would be an "active advocate" in the Kerry campaign,
but declined to speculate on a future role in a Kerry administration.
