Why would Israelis Celebrate while Americans were dying?
While Americans were "supposedly" being killed by "evil" Arabs, a Mossad surveillance team made quite a spectacle of themselves: The New York Times reported that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers PRIOR to the attack, and were seen congratulating each other afterwards! Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents, claiming "middle-eastern" men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery. Other witnesses saw Israelis jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact. It looked as though they knew what was going to happen long before Americans died in the Twin Towers, and the nearby smaller structure. The police and FBI field agents found maps of the city and the same type of box cutters which the same type of box cutters that the hijackers supposedly used, $4700 in cash stuffed into a sock, and foreign passports: With Israelis as "friends", we don't need enemies.

General Petraeus admits that our war in Afghanistan will take years
In a recent Meet the Press interview, General Petraeus admitted that our war in Afghanistan will take years and cost high American casualties. The people of our United States are now evenly divided between those who think we can restore a modicum of stability before getting out, and those who want a rapid exit from that conflict.
Our best option is to keep civilian casualties low, while cautiously inserting our troops ever deeper into Pashtun territory.

Beyond Orwell: The Electronic Police State, 2010
Once upon a time, the masters of declining empires had only a limited array of tools to snoop on their unsatisfied masses. The top ten nations were of two types: Those who had the will to spy on every citizen, but lacked the ability, and those who had the ability, but lacked the will. Thanks to modern technology, that is no longer the case: The able have become willing, and these traditional restraints have been overcome.
The USA has negated our Constitution's fourth amendment in the name of "wars against terror, drugs and cyber attacks. At this time, so-called "Western democracies" are not far behind "beacons of freedom" such as China, North Korea, Belarus and Russia when it comes to repressive police measures. Now, our United States is a mere 2/100th of a point behind Russia, when it comes to Internet and other forms of electronic spying.
The worst offenders of their citizens' liberties are now, in that order: North Korea, China, Belarus, Russia, "our" United States, United Kingdom, France, Israel, Singapore, and Germany.

Our US Government Kills Two Pregnant Mothers and a Teenage Girl
Our "modern" US Army often reverts to the ancient days of barbarism in order to accomplish its ordered missions: On February 12, US and Afghan Army forces launched a pre-dawn assault on the home of a prominent and popular policeman's home just outside Gardez, the capital of Paktia province in eastern Afghanistan. First, they killed the policeman, who had been standing in his doorway, protesting the innocence of his family. In the volley of fire directed against him, his pregnant wife, another pregnant woman and an 18-year old girl were also slaughtered. The families had been holding a party to celebrate the naming of a newborn baby boy. Sitting together along the walls of the guest room, the men had been taking turns dancing their traditional songs while the assembled musicians played. The group's singer said that at sometime after 3AM, one of the musicians went outside to go to the toilet. At that moment someone shone a light on his face, and the despicable murder of the assembled party began. Also killed was Saranwal Zahir, Dawood's brother, and the local prosecuter, who had been shouting for the soldiers not to shoot, as the women ran outside to tend to the wounded. Do you suppose that this village will ever support our war in Afghanistan! Please click on the headline, to read the rest of that story!

Arabs accuse Israel of "Ethnic Cleansing" their remaining territory!
In an article by Marwan Bishara, titled: "Jerusalem, Unholy Fault Lines", the author predicts a new cycle of confrontation with far reaching regional consequences for Israel. Like the fault lines deep underground in the nation of Chile, which may yet destroy more of that unfortunate country, Israel is now about to be "shaken, not stirred" to the very depth of its narrow-minded "leadership", though Binjamin Netenyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is counting on the commitment of Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, to prevent another Intifada.
He is most likely going to wait in vain: His constituency is still upset that more than a third of Al Quds has been expropriated for Israeli construction, while 22 per cent is zoned for "green" areas and public infrastructure, and 30 per cent remains "unplanned".
For this reason, the Obama administration had asked Israel to freeze all demolition of Palestinian homes in order not to aggravate tensions in the city.

A Timeline of Oil and Violence in Afghanistan
Thinking of joining the US Army and fighting in Afghanistan? Its all about oil, of course, and now you can read how we got into this mess, in which you, and your fellow soldiers may lose an arm, a leg, or even your life: Try to get a hot bimbo to satisfy your natural sexual needs, if you no longer have all of your body parts. I suspect is can't be done. When I served in Vietnam, and was saturated by "Agent Orange", I lost my pancreas, which is necessary to maintain an erection. Fortunately, I was able to court a wonderful girl who married me despite my unfortunate loss, but I would feel guilty, if I didn't ask you to avoid a similar fate.
First of all, WE are not in that troubled world to catch bad guys who toppled the World Trade Center - In reality, WE - the powers who run our American government, did that all by ourselves.
I urge you to check http://www.ringnebula.com/ where you will find a timeline for our our intervention in Afghanistan. It all started on July 3, 1979, when President "Jimmy" Carter signed a secret directive aiding opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul, calculated to induce a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
