Sick and Tired of the Middle East

McCain agitating for action in Syria? Friggin’ neocon suckers are agitiating again.....means the agitators still got Repubs by the b***s.

Musta had their weekly US foreign policy strategy meeting at the elite Four Seasons. Deciding about Syria over Brie, chilled Cristal, and Beluga caviar on toast.

A Syrian incursion means neocon bossman Richard Perle needs more US billions to sink into his Iraqi oil company-—the one he financed with war profits.....Americans pay the price at the pump-—so that the neos can pocket billions.

===============================================

FYI--KEEP IN MIND By US law, one condition for Israel getting trillions (yes, trillions) in US foreign aid is that Israel must share with the US the vast amounts of intelligence information they gather in the Mideast. Unfortunately, 911 happened with nary a clue----even though 911 was plotted for years in Israel's backyard by Israel's close neighbors.

NEOCONS PUT YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO WORK IN THE NAME OF "MIDEAST PEACE"

(1) The US stupidly gave Pakistan billions in the wake of 911----the country that was openly harboring Bin Laden in their midst. Despite all its advanced technology, Israel did not know Bin Laden was in their neighborhood?

(2) TURKEY received $21 billion economic/military US foreign aid....thanks to neocons. The US Dept of state ----duped by neocons----reported Dec 2011 that as part of their stupid cooperative effort to further Turkish economic and military self-reliance, the United States stupidly loaned and granted Turkey more than $7 billion in economic aid and more than $14 billion in military assistance over several years......So much for "peace"....Turkey is now getting ready to acquire nuclear weapons. Despite all its advanced technology, Israel did not know this?

(3) Neocons duped the US into pouring trillions into Afghanistan.....the most corrupt area on the globe. The Bank of Kabul is engaged in massive fraud---the bank where the US deposits billions of US tax dollars to run the war----if you are "connected" you can withdraw billions with no responsibility to pay it back. Afghan Pres Karzhai was seen loading billions of US dollars to transport out of the country. Despite all its advanced technology, Israel did not know this?

=============================================

SUMMATION US citizens are being extorted at the pump as the US leaves Iraq with no promise of oil (having spent trillions of US dollars there, leaving rivers of young US blood). Yet, according to the WSJ, conniving neocons are starting their own oil company in Iraq. The cost is immense----facilitated by n/c Richard Perle's war profiteering. Your tax dollars at work.

==================================================

Remember---when the rise---conservatives fall. Neos chief obsession is kicking Repub social conservatives to the curb-—neos abhor conservatives. And neos are the ones behind pushing for amnesty for illegals...they love those "immigrants" ever since WW 11.

What a hopeless mess is the Middle East. Primarily, that is because most countries are Muslim. Nearly ALL Muslim countries in the world are a mess and there is a darn good reason for that - it is the religion of Islam, which permeates all.

It is a fool's errand trying to turn Muslim countries into decent places by artificially inserting Western values. That is akin to trying to turn your septic tank into a nice swimming pool by adding perfume and pumping out the solids. It isn't going to happen. It's still the same old septic tank and the solids keep pouring in. The best one could wish for is it less likely to plug up.

The answer to the Middle East is for Christianity to take hold and Islam to rapidly recede. Short of that, the best thing we can do is drill our own oil to lessen our dependence on their septic region and keep the Islamic solids from pouring into our own swimming pool!

Just letting Israel take over the entire region would work, too.

“Give up their culture”, come on there's got to be a better word for their behavior than culture...

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

At the time it was the Soviet Union and letting them have Afghanistan would have given them port access to the Indian Ocean.

There were large scale strategic issues involved.

Thank you, Jesus. Praise the lord. That rant took actual "self-esteem." There is hope. Thank you Jesus. Praise the Lord.

Once we don’t need their oil, I see no reason why we need a single one more of them to immigrate here either. They can just stay home.

Agree 100%
