Zuckerman on Moscow's mad gamble to help Iran with its nuclear ambitions (1/30/06) "Military action, such as bombing the Iranian plants with cruise missiles and strike aircraft, would be justified in the circumstances. But that is hugely difficult politically, and covert action is very difficult operationally. "Still, the risks may have to be taken because the alternative is so awful. There may now be a window of opportunity for effective preventive action, but this window is more likely to be measured in months than years." MORTIMER ZUCKERMAN Zuckerman, who also owns the NY Post and the Atlantic Monthly, was formerly the chair of the Conference on Presidents of the Major Jewish American Organizations. In the buildup to the Iraq war he was once of the first to call for the overthrow of Saddam in a war the the lobby fully supported. Now, having paid no price or even a mention for his role in that disaster, he is once again part of a Zionist full court press to push the US into another, potentially much more devastating war, an effort that is hardly a secret. Why is there NO discussion of this among the leading spokespersons of the left? Does the spurious charge of "anti-semitism" still have their tongues still tied in knots? http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion/articles/060130/30edit.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewish groups pushing for US to attack Iran for Israel: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/wake-up-america-your-government-is-hijacked-by-zionism/2006/01/20/jewish-lobbying-groups-now-beating-the-war-drums-for-iran.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Military Strike against Iran Now Imminent: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/wake-up-america-your-government-is-hijacked-by-zionism/2006/01/20/military-attack-against-iran-now-imminent.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ex-Pentagon official gets 12 1/2 in AIPAC/Israel espionage..: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/wake-up-america-your-government-is-hijacked-by-zionism/2006/01/20/ex-pentagon-man-gets-12-years-in-aipac-case.php Neoconservatism as a Jewish Movement: For more on JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) Zionist Michael Ledeen and other Israel first traitors to America like him, scroll down to the 'Neoconservatism as a Jewish Movement' essay (by professor Kevin MacDonald of California State University, Long Beach) which is linked at the following URL (be sure to read the 'Thinking about Neoconservatism' article which is linked there as well): Neoconservatism as a Jewish Movement: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/wake-up-america-your-government-is-hijacked-by-zionism/2005/04/06/neoconservatism-as-a-jewish-movement.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |  | | Alpha | | Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 8:16 am Post subject: Letter to the Editor: Re Krauthammer Beating Drums for War |
| Letter to the Editor: Re Krauthammer Beating Drums for War: http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060123/NEWS/60123005/1044/OPINION02&template=printart pressdemocrat.com This is a printer friendly version of an article from www.pressdemocrat.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article published - Jan 23, 2006 Letters to the Editor Costly errors EDITOR: Not even slightly apologetic for having beat the drums for the United States invasion of Iraq, perhaps the worst foreign policy disaster in our history, columnist Charles Krauthammer (Wednesday) now suggests we compound that costly error by launching a military strike against Iran, a country four times larger with a military considerably more powerful that what the United States faced in Iraq. What Krauthammer and other neocon chicken hawks seem unable to understand is that should the United States or Israel, with U.S. approval, attack Iran's nuclear facilities, there is little doubt that the new Iraqi army, composed mainly of pro-Iranian Shia, will turn their guns on the U.S. troops and what will happen then will make the current situation in Iraq seem like a garden party. Moreover, it is likely that Iran will use its military and Navy to block the Persian Gulf and interrupt the vital flow of oil to Europe and to the West. If some of our fellow citizens don't care about the additional lives that will be lost in such an adventure, perhaps the thought of gas at $6 or $7 a gallon, if it is even available, might get their attention.
