Again, China Disappoints US on Iran
Clinton's Kosovo Figures in Florida Bomb Plot
Obama's Egypt Cancels Jewish Festival
Ahmadinejad Arrives in Cuba, Beaming
IRANIAN LEADER LANDS IN HAVANA
The heads of two terrorist-sponsoring countries are meeting--only 90 miles from the coast of Florida.
Iran and Cuba have cooperated closely in the field of biowarfare under cover of civilian biotechnology transfer and research and development agreements.
And Cuba's Cold War experience in using nuclear missiles to force the Kennedy administration into agreeing not to ever again attempt to invade the island, after the disastrous Bay of Pigs affair, always makes a good conversation topic at such summits.
US Moves Closer to Muslim Brotherhood
The Obama administration, which has made support for rightwing political Islam the foundation of an utterly failed foreign policy, is holding its highest-level talks to date with the fountainhead of Islamic clerical fascism--the dreaded Muslim Brotherhood. Click here for the story.
Obama, of course, emboldened and encouraged the MB to overthrow the country's long-serving, pro-American president, Hosni Mubarak. The betrayal and abandonment of Mubarak, who helped the United States combat Al Qaeda and for three decades maintained Egypt's peace pact with Israel, echoes the craven Carter administration's catastrophic involvement in Iran's Islamic Revolution and the stabbing in the back and abandonment of that country's pro-American, modernizing monarch, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi--whose government cooperated closely with Israel for mutual gain and defense purposes.
Obama is the new Carter; Egypt, the new Iran.
It is incredible, to say the least, that any American who cares about national security … and any American Jew who cares about the survival and well being of Israel and the Jewish people … could even consider voting for Obama (of "the Muslim World").
Coup Fears in Nuclear Pakistan
Will Wounding the Snake Spark War?
The covert conflict continues, as reported here. Another blast, and another Iranian nuclear scientists bites the dust. The article says sanctions "have started to bite," too.
The key concern is whether wounding the venomous snake is going to cause it to strike back viciously in a stunning sneak attack, and how the full-blown war that will surely follow such an assault will be fought on a battlefield that will include a strategic waterway--and civilian population centers--as the enemy has repeatedly warned.
A deadly game that should never have begun is playing itself out--the enemy should never have been allowed to take power in the first place, and, having been allowed to take power, should long ago have been eliminated--and millions of lives are at risk. Apparently, the so-called international community has forgotten or failed to learn the most important lessons of the lead-up to World War II.
Israel, of course, has not forgotten. Never again is more than a mere slogan, as the monstrous mullahocracy will learn if it tries to make good on its evil threat to "burn Tel Aviv." Unlike the United States, which surprisingly responded to 9/11 in a relatively restrained way, Israel will not hesitate to use any all weapons in its arsenal to prevent a new Holocaust.
The horrors of the 1930s and '40s have naturally not been forgotten--will never be forgotten--in the Jewish State. One hopes that the horror of October 6, 1973--the surprise attack that nearly ended the state--is also in the minds of Israeli leaders.

Regarding Ron Paul
Republicans who are sincerely concerned about national security would be wise to address Ron Paul's foreign policy views in a serious way. Simply branding him an isolationist is shortsighted and downright stupid considering America's horribly costly and clearly unnecessary interventions in Iraq and Vietnam, and the federal government's seemingly insane investment in a bloated, overseas empire of outmoded military bases that have little or nothing to do with genuine security.
It's time for the GOP to grow up. Vietnam and Iraq were huge, bipartisan blunders. But Iran is neither Iraq nor Vietnam. The fact that some interventions are unnecessary does not mean that all interventions are unnecessary. And there is a huge difference between an air war and a ground war, between bombing the hell out of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 in order to obliterate the bastards, which should have been done, using any and all necessary weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons, and invading and occupying the Afghan hellhole, which Bush stupidly did, while allowing Mullah Omar and Osama Bin Laden and their most senior commanders to escape into neighboring Pakistan. Someone needs to explain the difference; a confused country cries out for clarification of complex issues and problems.
Looking back (to go forward), containment of the Soviet Union made sense--in Europe. Extending the policy to the Third World was a major mistake. The Soviets of the 1970s and '80s were despotic. But they were not Stalin, and their foreign policy was not imperialist--it was not aimed at overthrowing the status quo. Following Stalin's death, the Soviets were mainly focused on preserving--rather than expanding--their empire. That the Soviet system was bad, to put it mildly, did not justify supporting the worst reactionary scum on earth--the jihadists and drug-dealing warlords of Afghanistan--in a secret, $3 billion intervention that blew back horrifically on 9/11. There is no denying that the United States was instrumental in unleashing the global Islamist menace. The time for candid conversation--on the part of Republicans and Democrats--is long overdue.
Containment's covert side--the bipartisan rollback program of the early Cold War period--was also terribly wrong. The perfidious program included the clandestine importation into the United States of legions of Nazi war criminals and collaborators--mass murderers hailed as freedom fighters. It is now clear that rescuing and financing the genocidal, fascist filth of Europe paved the way for the Carter-Reagan embrace of Afghanistan's human garbage--which Reagan referred to as the "moral equivalent of the founding fathers."
Ron Paul is alarmingly wrong about nuclear-arming, Islamist Iran--it is an implacable enemy that has made its intentions known--and wrong about rightwing political Islam, or Islamism, in general. It is a menace that must be defeated. But merely calling the candidate names, while continuing to support every idiotic intervention, including the intervention in Libya--the failed 2008 GOP Presidential candidate John McCain copied Reagan by calling the Al Qaeda-connected, Islamist-led Libyan rebels "freedom fighters"--won't suffice, not after decades of government lies and, most important, decades of government waste of human lives, including American lives, and countless taxpayer dollars ... in the name of defending democracy.
ENDNOTE: Republicans who really want to win in 2012 would also be wise to steal Paul's libertarian thunder by ceasing to mindlessly support another never-ending and unnecessary "war" … on drugs. Pot should have been legalized decades ago--in fact, it should never have been made illegal in the first place--and other recreational drug use should be decriminalized. The money that is wasted on the utterly failed and corrupting war on drugs should be reallocated to treatment and prevention of drug abuse.

Echoes of the 1930s: Swastika Earrings
SWASTIKA EARRINGS SOLD IN NYC
What is happening is shocking and disgusting … and reminiscent of the 1930s, when upper class Brits supported Hitler. Nazism was fashionable among the affluent of London. Women wore bracelets with swastika charms. Men combed their hair--Hitler-style--to slant across their foreheads.
IRAN PLANNING NUKE TEST: REPORT
GOP Snatching Defeat From Jaws of Victory
Iran Preparing for War
Foreign Confidential™ analysts take Iran's leaders and military commanders at their word. They mean what they say, and they say what they mean. Unlike the German Nazi Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, who hid his real intentions in order to trick the European appeasers and appeal to their peace-loving electorates, the Hitler-admiring (yet Holocaust-denying) Iranian Islamonazis are letting everyone know that they aim to destroy Israel, drive the United States out of the Middle East, and dominate the region--for starters. Actual destruction of "the Great Satan" as well as "the Little Satan" is part of the Iranian master plan. Not for nothing does the turbaned tyranny invest in asymmetric warfare--with its Axis of Evil ally and nuclear/missile proliferation partner, Stalinist/Kimist North Korea.
The West is dangerously in denial. Appeasement of Iran has made war with Iran inevitable; and Iran, inspired by the Nazi example, is working night and day to make sure that the war will be fought on Tehran's terms.
History is repeating itself, or, at the very least, rhyming, as Mark Twain put it.
