Obama Foreign Policy Advisor Calls For US to Shoot Down Israeli Jets
Gateway Pundit ^ | 9/20/09 | Gateway Pundit

Posted on 09/20/2009 12:42:41 AM PDT by American Dream 246

Last year Zbigniew Brzezinski, adviser to former US president Jimmy Carter, described the Bush administration's policy of maintaining the option of military action against Iran as "counterproductive."

Now Brzezinski, who advises Obama on foreign policy, is calling for the US to shoot down Israeli jets. Brzezinski is known to be anti-Israel. The Weekly Standard Blog reported:

In a little noticed interview with the Daily Beast (presumably little noticed because serious people don't read the Daily Beast), Zbigniew Brzezinski suggests that Barack Obama do more than just refuse to support an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites -- the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace:

DB: How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?

Brzezinski: We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?

DB: What if they fly over anyway?

Brzezinski: Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse. No wonder the Iranian regime is so impressed with Brzezinski.

He had better be careful. The IDF may put a bullet in his brain! You don’t mess with Israel without receiving judgment from God!

Another of Obama’s hand-picked goose-stepping goons.

He’d rather Israel sit back, get nuked, and go quietly into the night without a fight; just like in Nazi Germany.

Perhaps America should for the time being start raising Israeli flags across the country, I’m quite sure such a massive organized event such as that would surely send a message to the Muslim-in-Thief.

Myself I would expect the military to have “issues” with following an order from a POTUS that is technically by American Constitutional laws is not even qualified to issue such orders.

Indeed! I’ll bet a lot more Bible study goes on amidst the men in the military than in DC, or the Oval Office.

They’ll know better.

Needs to be verified first, and also is the troubling aspect that if the Obama clock is still ticking away the Muslim-in-Thief is predictably due to announce some NEW urgent crisis.

Must be the future trend of American elected Presidents, the Daily Wag the Dog show.

A bunch of our boys just recently got killed in Afghanistan after begging for mortar/artillery support which was refused...Orders were followed and our military knowingly let their own die because of Obama's rules of engagement...

I don't know if I'd put too much stock in the military veering away from orders from headquarters...

Obama worked with terrorist
Senator helped fund organization that rejects ‘racist’ Israel’s existence

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=57231

Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.

The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.

In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi’s wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

Obama served on the Wood’s Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.

Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama’s senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The $40,000 grant from Obama’s Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group’s reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN’s reported grants for that year.

The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago’s Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to “empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities.”

It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens.

Meet Obama's Foreign Policy Brain: Zbigniew Brzezinski

Brezinski Calls for Obama to Shoot Down Israeli Jets; "A Liberty in Reverse"

Obama adviser worries Israel supporters

Ben Smith - Politico.com

Sep 12, 2007 ...

Zbigniew Brzezinski’s intervention into “Israel Lobby” debate

Brzezinski, 79, stepped into the crossfire this summer when he published an essay in the summer issue of the journal Foreign Policy, defending a controversial new book about the power of the “Israel Lobby” in American politics.

The book’s authors, Harvard’s Stephen Walt and the University of Chicago’s John Mearsheimer, thanked him for his “incisive defense.”

But the article inserted him into one of the most heated debates in America-Israel politics, a bitter dispute about whether the authors’ claims smacked of bigotry, whether their critics are – as Brzezinski put it — “McCarthyite.”

“It is a tremendous mistake for Barack Obama to select as a foreign policy adviser the one person in public life who has chosen to support a bigoted book,” said Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, one of the most visible critics of the Walt and Mearsheimer volume, titled “The Israel Lobby.” (Dershowitz has contributed to the campaign of Obama’s leading rival, Senator Hillary Clinton of New York.)

Obama has already distanced himself from the book, with his campaign saying in a statement earlier this week that “the idea that supporters of Israel have somehow distorted U.S. foreign policy, or that they are responsible for the debacle in Iraq, is just wrong. And Obama’s positions on Middle East affairs are, like his main rivals’, within the American political mainstream and firmly in favor of Israeli’s aggressive security policy.”

“I’m quite sure such a massive organized event such as that would surely send a message to the Muslim-in-Thief.”

. . . if he was normal. With each passing day, and with each revelation of the unthinkable, and his arrogance and malignant narcissism, it’s obvious what we’re dealing with.

obama aligns with evil.

Is this the same clown that advised Carter on how to handle the Iranian Embassy hostage situation? The guy always
talked with a sock in his mouth so we never knew what the
heck he was talking about.

That's a tricky call. Inaction is always easier than action. It would be VERY easy for a good man (and most of our pilots are good people) and especially against Israeli pilots, to simply let someone get by you instead of shooting them down. I hope that Israel is planning something that can't be stopped by Obama, but I am not convinced that our pilots would do their best when following an evil order.

Zbigniew Brzezinski is still considered a foreign policy genius by the left. Imagine the type of intellect that concludes the threat of a nuclear Iran requires the US to shoot down Israeli jets on a mission to eliminate that threat because such a mission would be counterproductive.

I seem to remember hearing about something like this in a book I read once. Something about "every nation in the world turning militarily against Israel..." I know it is just on the tip of my tongue. Did you ever have a moment like that, where the brain absolutely knows something but you just can't fetch it out? It is there somewhere, I know I have that book on a shelf somewhere. Maybe if I can't put some time into it later it will come back to me. Maybe later after church...

Brzezinski:Obama's Globalist "Rasputin"
He was Obama's Mentor at Columbia.

"Brzezinski openly praises Marxism in his book Between Two Ages published in 1970. Incidentally Brzezenski’s father was an ambassador to Russia from Poland during Stalin’s reign"
