BUSH REBUFFS ARIEL ON FREEING COLLARED POLLARD

I get a kick out of picturing Pollard in his cell hearing news like this.

[lavaroise]

I don'T get a kick at morons in government using Pollard as a bogey man for their intelligence failures against Iraq, the Soviets, Saudis and countless others in the FBI allowed not to interview other arabs...

Hang Pollard? Go right ahead, but the guy probably knows much more about the truth on 911, Waco, Ruby Ridge and other FBI scandals than anyone would like to hear.

[lavaroise]

Being Israels best friend costs our country a lot

As opposed to running our tails between our legs doing what the terrorist want? In Christianity compromise does not include the wholesale slaughter of people, eating grass as sheeps in Israel maybe, but certainly not their slaughter for sake of satisfaction of terror gods.

He's been in prison since 1987. Just what kind of math produces that sort of product?

[wheezer]

Since chubby brought up the issue of spying via Jonnie-rotten, is GW then within bounds to ask about the deported art students?

Pollard had inside info and previsions for the coming down of the US intelligence infrastructure. He was jailed because of that. The plea bargain included a limited prison sentence, but the racist black judge saw Pollard as an Israel Appartheid leader and gave him life.

[lavaroise]

In other words, the whole thing was a set up.

Um. Got it. You're one of "them". Sorry to have posed a rational question. I know it must have hurt.

[Ecliptic]

If Pollard were treated worse than other spys, he would have been hung......Lots of people are and have been on Clinton's trail: impeachment, grand juries to no avail. But lawsuits are still in progress.

[lavaroise]

One of them? One of whom? Hurt? Gossip.

Pollard had gotten inside info on US supplying illegaly arms to Iraq before the Gulf war. Pollard har inside info on US sattelite data indicating Iraq was building atom bomb in Osirak but US would do nothing to stop the now villified but then excused Saddam. Granted he transfered this data illegaly to Israel so that Israel could bomb Osirak. And that makes one of them?

You are not going to rebuild your country by focusing on bogey men or spewing stories about "them". THe Gulf War would have not been won had Osirak not been bombed.

If you were a country you would be Germany circa 1940.

I don't think Bush is into lunatic conspiracy theories and internet hoax's.

[beckett]

W. better not release Pollard. Thank God it looks like he's got the sense to understand that.

Furthermore, committed partisans of Israel should let this issue drop. Post 9-11 Israel is riding high in many American quarters where once existed much wavering and lukewarm support. Strong Israel supporters should welcome this development and display their gratitude by refraining from loud bleating about an American traitor whose release would surely infuriate their new comrades-in-arms.

[peterise]

Great article. Intellegent and presise. Keep up the good work. We need more independent thinkers like yourself. We must stop all aid to Israel so that we can have peace. Without our money the Israelis cannot conduct war and will be forced to seek peace. Peterise@optonline.net

FYI.

Israel is our ally. Hamas is our enemy.

[wheezer]

He obviously wasn't "into" chubby's song and dance either.

[peterise]

I agree with you 100%. Pollard was the bigest spy ever caught and convicted in our history. Why does our so-called friend Israel spy on us to begin with? Some friend. We are backing the wrong side in the Middle East, lets correct our wrongs and give the Palestinians a fair shake. There would be no 911 without our support of Israel, and what has Israel ever given us? They spy on us.Lets stop all aid to Israel so that we can have peace. Without our money they cannot wage war and kill innocent people.

[jwalsh07]

There would be no 911 without our support of Israel

And here all this time I thought the scumbags who killed 3 thousand Americans were radical muslim shit. You mean to tell me it was the JEWS?

[vance]

If Pollard is the only thing about which Bush said no to Sharon, that's great. You seem hung up on weight. Very superficial and childish.

[montag813]

WHY do some many Jews have this rabid obsession with Pollard?

He was clearly a traitor! Despite his (supposedly) best intentions, there were many other ways he could have helped Israel as a volunteer, or an Israeli citizen. But the means he chose were that of Aldrich Ames and Robert Hansen--treason and treachery.

His friends should be happy he has kept his life. They have to be joking if they think he will ever be released. Enough already.
