poorrichard's blog: Will President Obama Give American Blood For Bibi's War in Iran?

Israel is a vampire state. It feeds on American blood and money. Without them, it cannot survive. Pat Buchanan writes: "SR 380 points directly toward a US war on Iran. Who wants that war? Netanyahu, his government, and his allies in US politics and the press, and in a Congress that gave him 29 standing ovations the last time he spoke there. Who does not want a war? The White House, the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs, the intelligence community, the antiwar left and the Old Right, and millions of Americans who believe a US war on Iran could ignite a sectarian and regional war that could prove catastrophic for the Middle East, the world economy, and the United States of America." Justin Raimondo writes: "How dare our generals, our soldiers, sailors and airmen, you know, the people who will actually have to fight in Netanyahu's war, speak their minds on the matter! Why, it's an outrage! On the other hand, it's perfectly all right that billionaire gambling casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who funds Netanyahu's far-right Likud party, is also pumping millions into the campaign of Newt Gingrich, and, he says, the eventual Republican, whoever it is, minus Ron Paul, while loudly proclaiming his goal of advancing Israeli interests and promoting war with Iran. Is this a war aim Americans need to die for? Netanyahu's war will be a war fought for Israel, started by Israel, and benefiting only Israel. As for us, we will suffer a series of economic shocks, not just oil shock, but the shock of a much-accelerated financial crisis hastened by the conflict, to say nothing of the shock of discovering that our fighting men and women have been turned into the instrument of a foreign power!
