This man is Insane

How Orwellian for Cheney to push the idea that Israeli aggression against Lebanon which - by every sane person's reckoning - will accelerate terrorism is a reason to vote for more neoconservative policies of empire with preemptive invasion and occupation.

"If anyone thinks the conflict is over or soon to be over, all they have to do is look at what's happening in the Middle East today," he said.

Yes, because they green lighted it.
American fascists are in league with Israeli fascists.
Amerikkkans vetoed a ceasefire not because Israel was under grave threat from Hezbollah, but because both rogue governments want to use this invasion of Lebanon as a shoe horn into Iran. They're trying to drum up public sympathy for an attack on Iran that the world does not condone.

Yep. Iran is the new Iraq. Except Iran is not a beaten down 3rd world country that can't fight back.

Yeah, it is all about Iran. This was underscored for me yesterday when I saw creepy, lying, swaggering war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu on Wolf Blitzer claiming that Iran attacked Israel with missiles and has missiles that can reach Europe (implying they are ready to launch) and is working on arming nuclear missiles to send to the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Of course Blitzer didn't ask him for proof of those allegations and the casual viewer will register that horseshit as truth.

If Israel wishes to stop terrorist organizations rising against it, it will stop aggressing against the Arabs. Period. Terrorism suits the Israeli government as it justifies their expansionist policies.

Just like terrorism suits Bush for similar reasons.

That is why both governments pursue policies that increase terrorism. All the talk about protecting their populations from terrorism is CRAP. Anyone killed by a terrorist is just collateral damage in their war on reason, justice and truth.

Terrorism is what happens when you systematically destroy other people, when you violently, relentlessly stamp out any democratic movements and keep a region as chaotic as we have kept the middle east, when you eradicate political power and choices and demoralize a population, strip them of prerogative, call them animals, ignore their viewpoint, sneer at their culture, round them up and imprison them offering them fewer rights than you offer others, ethnically cleanse them. murder them.

How many decades have we been interfering, overthrowing, assassinating, establishing and supporting homicidal dictators and thugs there, doing business with a violent criminal element of those countries while populations be damned, supporting Israel which constantly violates international law, constantly abuses and murders the Palestinians, has previously invaded Lebanon, etc.? What Arabic speaking country has America or Israel not undermined or assaulted?

Cheney and Netanyahu are telling the same BIG lie. Olmert is telling it. Bush is telling it. Wolf Blitzer is telling it. Colonizing, occupying powers have always told the lie of their superiority. These guys are nothing new, but their weapons are far more deadly. History is full of war criminals and kings who have told these same lies in order to get what they want regardless of the horrible consequences.

Amerikkka wants a PNAC empire in the middle east with Israel as prefect. Chasing it will give them the perpetual war they can use an excuse to rule any way they want, to strip us of rights, to take all our pennies for their war profiteers, as they bring the world down around our ears.

All they want next is to go after Iran.
