LET ISRAEL DO IT

[issac the dragon]

On C-SPAN this morning, the discussion was about the threat to Israel from Iran. The Bushies are serious about going to war against Iran, which is not a threat to the US. It is percieved as a threat against Israel.

If Israel is threatened by Iran, let Israel go to war. I am tired of defending Israel. Let them sink or swim. It is their problem.

Even if they do go to war with Iran, we would still be defending them, one way or another. Maybe not (hopefully not) through the application of troops, but certainly through money and weapons supplied to them by the US.

Like I said, let them sink or swim. It's their country. I feel no need at all to defend them or support them.

They are our ally,we will protect them,just like we did in Kuwait.Right or wrong we come to the defense of our allies.

:yep All the way back to the world wars, US and Canadian soldiers have been ready to go fight in defense of those who need us.

It would be a sad day in America if there were a major attack and the rest of the world said, "It's their problem, let them deal with it."

There is an air force in Kuwait. They all went on vacations in Europe when Hussein invaded. If the people who live in a country don't and won't defend it, they can go to hell. And Hussein had grievances with Kuwait. He didn't just invade for the hell of it, as our government would have you believe. It was their problem, and they should have resolved it.

This country does not go to war to defend it's friends in other countries. It goes to war to defend it's friends in the military-industrial complex. Haliburton has never seen a war it didn't like.

[quiet man]

never seen a war it didn't like or make a clear profit during or after! :hotdog :tequila :drevil

Halliburton, Bechtel and Other U.S. Firms Set to Profit From the Rebuilding of Postwar Iraq: Meanwhile the Guardian Reports Halliburton Is Still Paying VP Dick Cheney Up to $1 Million Annually

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal is reporting the Bush administration is preparing to award a contract valued at upwards of $900 million to a U.S. firm to rebuild post-war Iraq.
The U.S. Agency for International Development or USAID quietly sent a detailed request to Halliburton, Bechtel, Fluor, Louis Berger Group or Parsons Corp. for proposals.

USAID invoked special authority to bypass the usual procedures and solicit bids from just these select companies. Spokeswoman Ellen Yount told the Washington Post skirting the rules was justified due to the "urgent circumstances and the unique nature of this work."

The Toronto Star is reporting international firms from countries that are not publicly backing Washington's on Iraq are also expected to be prevented from profiting on the reconstruction of Iraq.

The Pentagon already has tapped Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root to help fight oil-well fires in Iraq. Halliburton is the company Vice President Dick Cheney headed until 2000. The London Guardian reports today vice President Cheney is still receiving annual payments from Halliburton. Halliburton refused to say how much the payments are. The required disclosure statement filled by all top government officials says only they are between $100,000 and $1 million.

The Toronto Star,/I> is reporting that the Canadian company Safety Boss Inc., a which specializes in capping burning oil wells, is likely not to see much business in a postwar Iraq although it did such work in Kuwait after the first Gulf War.

The company's chief executive told the Toronto Star, "It's a big political football. We could be left out because we're in Canada and the political waffling here isn't helping."

Neil King, staff reporter with the Wall Street Journal. His article "U.S. Is Quietly Soliciting Bids For Rebuilding Postwar Iraq" appeared in Monday's Journal.

It's an excuse...how can Iran possibly threaten Israel...Israel has the dirty bomb...it's the pre-war lies of Iraq all over again...cheney wants the tax dollars...he'll create the war...much like he did with Iraq....

I really wish some people here would STOP implying that others are un-american simply because they have a differing world view. You don't get to decide who is or is not a "true' american.
