Shooting War Gen-We Getting A Grip Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

Battle In Seattle
Headlines : International
Summary:

Apparently, General Tira did not realize that President Bush has become the most deeply unpopular president in American history and that it was his subservience to the dictates of the Israel Lobby and its demands for wars against Iraq and Iran that led him into the political prison where he now finds himself isolated and impotent.

In a stark statement published on Saturday Brigadier General Oded Tira observed, “President Bush lacks the political power to attack Iran. As an American strike in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure.”

Because of the dramatic loss of political power of the Bush-Cheney administration, General Tira urges the Israel Lobby to, “turn to Hillary Clinton and other potential presidential candidates in the Democratic Party so that they support immediate action by Bush against Iran.”

In another move designed to strengthen Bush politically, General Tira urges the Israel Lobby to exert its influence on European countries so that, “Bush will not be isolated in the international arena again.”

As if all of that Israel-lobbying in America and Europe were not enough, General Tira proposes an even more aggressive political tactic, “We must clandestinely cooperate with Saudi Arabia so that it also persuades the US to strike Iran. For our part, we must prepare an independent military strike by coordinating…

This is a photo op prop up. Recent elections in Iran show clearly people are fed up with a bellicose stance that will only rain misery on them … and they want jobs, a life and attend to what a sane person attends to.

Iran will be democratic soon and they will shed their religious fanaticism. A democratic Iran will not be anti-Semitic nor will they need a-bombs. A democratic Iran will want to join the WTO. Anyways that battle is for a few years down the road.

So there is no actual need for an air strike. But boy would it be fun. I can fanticize can’t I.

yawn…nobbynads if the death of thousands of Iranians and no doubt many, many Israelis for years to come tickles your pickle, you are a sorry worm indeed

Belphegor69 @ 01/02/07 18:41:09

thousands of Iranians
and no doubt many, many Israelis

So you are not as stupid as I thought. You slipped up. You are a proaganda facade who has a somewhat accurate grasp of reality. So tell me. If you are not a crackerjack as you pretend to be, how did you become such an anti-Semite.

It would seem you do little else.

Well NobPolisher dreams of men, naked men with american flags wrapped around their torsos, as they dance majectically in front of him, waving their M-16’s and resting their meat sticks on his forehead…..

Dilated_Rebel @ 01/03/07 10:47:51

that be some kinda patriotic mushroom stamping there…

I can only assume.

JustLurking @ 01/03/07 10:54:11

Propaganda facade?
Poor cow. I must be more stupid than you thought for even responding to your Hebrew loving, America hating BS. Because you so obviously hate America, evident in your pro-murder Iraqis stance, your support of failed Bush policies should be enuff to shut your ink-hole, but apparently not. I have quite a proper grasp of reality. But I don’t give a fuck about a Jewish majority in Israel, apartheid be damned. This is a foreign country as far as I’m concerned. It means nothing to me. Their destiny is not entwined with ours. Criticizing Israeli hate and aggression and murder is NOT ANTISEMITISM douchebag.
You wanna know a simple way to win this “War on Terror?”
Drop a few bombs on Israel and watch how fast you get the majority of people and governments of the Arab nations on America’s side.

Belphegor69 @ 01/03/07 11:11:36

and Dilated, LOL

Belphegor69 @ 01/03/07 11:13:53

Because that would be such an ethically justified thing to do, absolutely.

Look, the fucking Israelis can fend for themselves as far as I give a shit, and we could certainly stand to fellate them less than we do – but bomb them? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you honestly putting that forward as a suggestion? Even as overwrought hyperbole, that’s total asshattery.

Snark @ 01/03/07 11:31:22

my comment stands—bomb them, dont bomb them, I don’t give a shit—they belong there, everyone loves them, they oppress no one, they do nothing wrong, kiss them hump them but dont criticize them whatever you do—and certainly without a doubt dont threaten them with violence—we’ll save that for the Arabs and Persians

Belphegor69 @ 01/03/07 11:44:13

tell me thats not the case, Snark go on tell me the Arabs wouldn’t love it and like us more. Like NO ONe else on this site engages in any sort of hyperbole or asshattery here. Let’s not take ourselves TOO seriously, ok?

Belphegor69 @ 01/03/07 11:49:37

Double standards galore here

Belphegor69 @ 01/03/07 12:11:17

a little over the top fella…

I mean had you suggested that Israel be sanctioned for possessing nukes I’d be with you. Double standards indeed… wtf does a patch of dirt like Israel need nukes for anyways ?.. they don’t. And if we’re to agree that they do then it only seems fair Iran gets to set up a couple of their own.

I’d be cool with that. I mean if Israel is everything that Izzy goes and toots his horn about, then fine. Let Israel stand on it’s own two feet. Level the fucking playing field and let the whole works just have at her. Sooner or later that’s what’s gonna happen anyways. Eventually some stupid fuck in that crazy clusterfuck of a dust bowl is gonna launch. These crazy fuckers are so hell bent on annihilating each other off the map they can fucking taste it. Who are we to stop them. Not I.

I think it’s a pathetic state of affairs when you predicate your entire reason for being upon defensive posture and hostility. But not unlike Saddam, if whackjob states like Israel and Iran are so hell bent on playin “I nuke U.. U nuke me” then I say they oughta be allowed to see what sharing a radioactive crater gets them.

At least states like Russia, China have this thing going for them called a sense of self preservation. Not this bunch. Shit just ain’t gonna end until things get ultra quiet all of sudden when someone looks up into the horizon and says…

ooooooooooooooooooh ... lookie!

Eat me. For the record, I’d regard any suggestion that any country be bombed for purposes of sucking up to any other country as fucking retarded. No double standard there. And I’m singling you out because your ‘idea’ is even more spectacularly hyperbolic and asshattish than is the norm around here. No hard feelings about you personally, I just think that particular post was staggeringly dumb.

tell me thats not the case, Snark go on tell me the Arabs wouldn’t love it and like us more.

Who gives a fuck if they would? I’m sure the Hutu would get wood if we bombed the Tutsis; does that make it a reasonable idea that deserves to be greeted with anything but contempt and mocking?

they belong there, everyone loves them, they oppress no one, they do nothing wrong, kiss them hump them but dont criticize them whatever you do

I’ve said nothing even remotely resembling that. I’ve said that advocating the bombing of any group of people for any reason is fucking sick and lame. Ok?

Snark @ 01/03/07 18:55:17

Eventually some stupid fuck in that crazy clusterfuck of a dust bowl is gonna launch.

Yeah that.

Israeli Think Tank Says Military Force Needed against Iran

An Israeli think tank director said Thursday that the international community must use all diplomatic means to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but that military force ultimately will have to be used.

“Time is working in Iran’s favor, and barring military action, Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons is only a matter of time,” according to Dr. Tzvi Shtauber, director of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv (formerly Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies).

He said the diplomatic options should be exercised so that politicians can say they had no choice but to use force. Dr. Shtauber is a former Israeli ambassador to Britain and former head of strategic planning in the Israeli army.

Avigdor Lieberman: Ban Iran from UN

In a harsh letter written to the incoming Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman demanded that the membership of Iran in the world body be revoked because of the continuing calls made by its president for the destruction of Israel.

“I call on you to act now, before it is too late. Revoke Iran’s membership in the United Nations, pressure the Security Council to impose the harshest and most extensive set of sanctions the world has ever seen, and halt Iran’s progress towards nuclear weapons,” Lieberman wrote in his letter.

I agree. Bombing should only be done on enemy combattants, or enemy stuff used in war against you.

As they say at GNN. Bombing people for no reason other than to punish is … get ready… this is soo cool….I can’t believe that I am going to do this….ok here goes…..It is fucktardish. Yaah, oh baby.

US media reports say Mr Bush will also name Admiral William Fallon, the top US commander in the Pacific, as the new head of Central Command, which covers Afghanistan as well as Iraq.

The choice of a naval commander for Centcom could signal growing concern over Iran – any move against Tehran would rely heavily on ship-based missiles and carrier-based aircraft.
