Defeat in Iraq leads to ‘civil war’ in the US

The zionist lobby has been challenged from another quarter as well. In his latest book, Palestine: Peace not Apartheid, former president Jimmy Carter denounced Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Despite the zionists’ hysterical denunciations, and the fact that many Democrats have distanced themselves from him, Carter has stuck to his guns. Such criticism of Israel is unprecedented in the US, where politicians recoil at the thought of offending the mighty zionist lobby. Carter has felt able to break this taboo as he does not plan to run for office again; he is considered an elder statesman of Democratic politics. As a result, for the first time in US history, the Israeli lobby finds itself confronted by two powerful segments of the establishment that regard Israeli policies as inimical to US interests. Jewish writers, such as Norman Finkelstein of New York State University, have predicted that if the US establishment ever considered Israeli policies to be damaging its interests, Israel would be abandoned immediately.

Coupled with economic difficulties because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Bush’s tax-breaks for the rich, the prognosis for America’s future is bleak. With the military stretched to breaking-point and no money left to finance additional wars, the US is vulnerable today. Wars are a systemic need of the American establishment to sustain the illusion that the US is “making progress”. This myth is no longer sustainable. The civil war in the US political establishment caused by its defeat in Iraq should hasten the day when the world will finally be rid of the menace of this rogue superpower.

Bush Crime Family Crony Robert Gates a Shoo-In

Monday December 04th 2006, 8:16 pm “Robert Gates, the former CIA director and Texas A&M University president, is expected to easily win nomination as President Bush’s next defense secretary following a hearing today that is likely to focus on strategies in Iraq,” reports Express-News. Easy nomination, no matter the guy is a criminal, not to mention a blood-thirsty warmongering psychopath. Gates was at the core of the so-called Iran-Contra affair, but then it is business as usual in Washington, as the Bush administration is packed like a sardine tin with Iran-Contra criminals. Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel in the Iran-Contra investigation, knew Gates was lying about his collaboration with fellow criminal, now respected Fox News talking head, Oliver North, the guy who wanted to suspend the Constitution and throw demonstrators in gulags under Rex-84. In 1984, as understudy and protégé of then CIA director-ghoul, William Casey, Gates wanted to bomb the dickens out of Nica

"He was sporting a heatlhy look and was in good spirits when left for Ethiopia Saturday. On Sunday in Addis, we heard Tilahun was sick with "some burning" and was being rushed to a hospital when in the midst of all the chaos came in the news of his sudden death," Abebe said. "I wonder if there could be another Ethiopian who would live up to
