THE CHALABI AFFAIR, ETAL

Kudos to Colin for spanking Sharon on his Fun and Games in Gaza.

Sooner or later, the US will need to pull support from Sharon and the
Radical Right in Israel. Indeed, the sooner the better!

Everyone knows that Sharon's Likud and the radical right in Israel
have no intention of setting up a Palestinian state in the West Bank,
or anywhere else for that matter.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE US PUBLIC IS TOTALLY IN THE DARK ON THIS!

MARK MY WORDS: AT SOME POINT THE US IS GOING TO HAVE TO INSIST THAT
SHARON GIVE UP HIS WEST BANK AMBITIONS.

WHY?

THE ALTERNATIVE IS A GENOCIDAL WAR AGAINST THE ARABS, AND INDEED
GLOBAL ISLAM, FOUGHT BY THE US AND ISRAEL ALONE!

AND THAT, GENTLE READER, IS WHAT IS CALLED A "NON-STARTER!"

Why will we break from Israel on the West Bank?

Well, look at Iraq! It's a total disaster.

Blind support of Sharon is going to destroy the bond market, and the
dollar. And, that will do more damage to the global economy than any
terrorist vandals ever could.

If Dubya had at least tried to be the HONEST BROKER, maybe, just
maybe, the WTC would still be standing. (Although the bad blood
between Osama and the Bush Family was intense no matter what Michael
Moore says!)

Seperately, the fall out with Chalabi was predictable. Chalabi is a
total opportunist, and now perhaps a double agent, if new reports are
correct. Still, scapegoating Chalabi for a war that Dubya and Rummy
and Wolfie dearly wanted will only pacify the talk radio crowd, and
few others.

Rummy's denial of knowledge of the raid on Chalabi's house was too
clever by half. If Rummy keeps denying knowledge about "things" in
Iraq, we could have a crime of omission, not commission on our hands
eventually. And for the person in charge? That's just as bad.

Because; Sooner or later the whole world is going to want to know:

EXACTLY WHOSE RUNNING THIS WAR!

The PFC's, the Corporals, the Captains! Oh, Pleasee.........!

Finally, the situation in the South of Iraq with the Shia is not
getting much press lately. Even though the "holy sites" are being
invaded, and there is street fighting all round the "holy shrines."
Wassup with that?

IF THE SHIA RISE UP AGAINST THE OCCUPATION, THE TRANSFER OF POWER ON
JUNE 30 COULD BECOME A MOOT POINT!

Alas, poor Kerry! If he articulates a "policy" on Iraq, he's running
a shadow government and undermining the president! And, given the
total disaster that Iraq has become, who can really give an answer to
Dubya's bankrupt policy breakdowns?

Kerry's best response to the question: What would you do different
in Iraq should be:

I WILL NOT BE GEORGE W. BUSH!

INDEED, THE ROAD OUT OF THIS GEO-POLITICAL DISASTER HAS TO START WITH
THAT FACT, AS THE BASIC PREMISE!

SADDLY, IT'S SINE QUA NON FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST NOW! LET'S
HOPE THE AMERICAN VOTER "GETS THE PICTURE."
