Does your vote really count? answer: AIPAC's supports comes first. More US soldiers will be sacrificed for Zion...
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to the U.S. is part of a concerted effort, by the Israeli government and its American lobbyists, to convince U.S. lawmakers ? and, most of all, President George W. Bush ? that the time to attack Iran is now. The Israeli newspaper Yediot Achronot reports that Olmert will tell Bush "time is running out" on diplomacy and that he'd better launch an attack.
In his speech to the AIPAC conference, Olmert's message was harsh and unrelenting: Iran, he said, "must be stopped by all possible means" from acquiring a nuclear capability. Yes, sanctions must be tightened, but these are only "initial steps": what's needed, he averred, are "more drastic and robust measures" ? and that can only mean one thing.
Israel would rather not act alone, but Olmert signaled that he was willing to do so if pushed: ""Israel will not tolerate the possibility of a nuclear Iran, and neither should any other country in the free world," he declared, in what was clearly a threat of unilateral action. Citing Israel's record in regard to Iraq in the eighties and Syria last year, Tim Butcher warned in the Telegraph: "The speech shortens the odds significantly on military action against Iran's nuclear program."
The U.S. would almost certainly be drawn into the conflict if Israel carried out its threat, and Olmert knows that. So does Bush, who, in any case, may not need much persuading. After all, in his speech to the Israeli parliament last month, the President declared:
"Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
For the sake of peace, we must make war: a familiar refrain that echoes down through the years, mocking the living and the dead.
The clock is ticking, and time is running out for the War Party: they must get in their licks before the most pro-Israel president, ever, leaves office. As Butcher writes: "Among Israeli supporters of military action against Iran there is concern something must be done before Mr. Bush's end of office next January as Mr. Bush is perceived as closer to Israel than any potential successor."
Don't look to Barack Obama for deliverance from this looming conflict. In his speech to AIPAC, he clearly signed on to the Lobby's latest project, departing from his prepared text to declare:
"I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything in my power. Everything."
"Everything" includes murdering tens of thousands of Iranians, mostly civilians ? driving the price of oil up above $300 a barrel and destroying the US economy ? and involving us in a war that will make the Iraq conflict look like a Sunday school picnic. And for what?
The irony, of course, is that Iran is nowhere near obtaining nuclear weapons, as the President's own intelligence agencies recently informed him: but no matter. That's a small obstacle to those who disdain "the reality-based community," and see themselves as Making History while the rest of us watch, helpless and aghast. As Ha'aretz recently reported
"Olmert will try to convince Bush to set aside the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran's nuclear program in favor of data presented by Israel, and determine the administration's policy on Iran accordingly."
The coming war with Iran has nothing to do with "weapons of mass destruction" ? no more than the invasion of Iraq ever did. It's all about preserving Israeli hegemony in the Middle East by wiping any and all recalcitrant Arab-Muslim states off the map. First Iraq, then Iran ? and Syria will have its turn soon enough, along with poor prostrate Lebanon, once the jewel of the eastern Mediterranean and now an economic and political basket case.
It is almost certain we will be at war with Iran before a new President is inaugurated: now that Obama has capitulated to the Lobby, nothing but Divine Providence can stop it.
God help us all.
I have to say I was wrong ? dead wrong ? about Obama. In my eagerness to find a bright spot in a rapidly darkening world, I grasped on to his alluring rhetoric and his at-times trenchant critique of the Bush foreign policy, like a sinking man holding on to a life-jacket. But looking for hope in all the wrong places doesn't create opportunities for peace ? it only prolongs our illusions. We must face the prospect of a much more terrible conflict than we have ever known, and look it squarely in the face, without flinching or looking for false messiahs. I know many of you are disappointed, and some of you are now exclaiming "I told you so!" All that we can do now is hope, and pray, that our country ? and the Iranian people ? will somehow survive the coming catastrophe.

Do people realise why Obama's head always goes left and right like that? Because each half of his speech is on two different teleprompters. Its forumalic. When ever you see him doing that know that he is reading off a teleprompter.

Those that threaten Israel threaten US security? Obama has promised the US army to protect Israel. This is against everything our founding fathers imagined as American soverignty. What is this committment we are obligated to? Why is America's security dependent on Israel, after making the worlds greatest military state over the past 50 years? If America is so secure, remember the trillions of dollars we have spent on security, why is our future dependent on a foreign power? Somebody is/has lied

OBAMA IS A LIAR! He hates Israel. He would like nothing more than see the Palestinians massacre the Jews.

Obama is the (good cop)
Bush was the (bad cop)
Obama comes in to refresh the minds of the voters and wait for people like me, who remember 911 and the lies to get to old to care. Then after 8 years it will be time for (badcop again) and they will do what ever they fucking like just wait and see.
As dick Cheney said when questioned about war "we are not trying to win the vote here we are doing what we think is right!"
The neo-cons and zionists are at AEI planning it at this moment.

If it was you would be co exsisting in peace like you did before 1000years ago. But these guys are knee jerk thugs riding the sympathy wave because of what the nazis did to the real jews
