A cable from the US Ambassador in Egypt to the US State Department revealed by Wikileaks this week reveals at best incompetence, at worst a vicious plot to destroy Israel.
In a confidential memo dated December 21, 2008, US Ambassador to Egypt Margaret Scobey complains that a Minister in the Egyptian government is a “Chief impediment in the face of US efforts to transform the Egyptian’s military mission to meet emerging security threats”.
The only “threat” Egypt faces is…Israel. Adjacent Libya does not have a military force of substance (though they are quite good at Terrorism). Who else is an “emerging security threat”? Adjacent Sudan? Nearby Chad? Iran is some 4,000 miles and several countries away.
The US has built the Egyptian military into an unwieldy colossus that threatens the stability of the “moderate” Mubarak regime. America has pumped vast sums – more than $70 Billion American taxpayers’ dollars of the latest US military equipment – tanks, planes and missiles into Egypt. Everything that will encourage Egypt to start a war with Israel.
According to another memo from Ambassador Scobey dated September 23, 2008 President Mubarak of Egypt “may well be trying to weaken the military” – built up to unwieldy proportions by US diplomats, to insure that Mubarak’s successor will be his “moderate” son – a former banker. An Army several orders of magnitude bigger than anything Egypt could use threatens the civilian leadership of Egypt, and the Egyptians seem to know it.
Of course, the prospects that Egypt will be taken over the radical Muslim Brotherhood is not at all unlikely. What do you imagine this radical Islamic group will then do with the vast military colossus that the US has built up over the years?
What “role” is Egypt being groomed for? The target in sight is Israel. Why on earth would American diplomats want to encourage Egypt to start a war with Israel? Particularly in light of the damage that will accrue to both countries?
The nefarious answer can be found in the US State Department doctrine as formed by Henry Kissinger. The historical record strongly indicates (awaiting confirmation from Wikileaks) that Kissinger encouraged President Sadat of Egypt to mount a secret attack on October 6, 1973 – Yom Kippur, declaring war on Israel. Kissinger then sought to delay American resupply of weapons, ammunition and spare parts to Israel. Kissinger is on record having said he wanted “Israel to be ‘bloodied’ so they would be more receptive to Kissinger’s grandiose Machiavellian “peace plans”. It is known that in the early days of the 1973 “Yom Kippur” war, Secretary of State Kissinger told Defense Secretary James Schlesinger “the best result would be that Israel would come out a “little” ahead but get “bloodied in the process”.
Israel lost thousands of lives and subsequently surrendered the strategic buffer zone of the Sinai Peninsula – in exchange for a “cold peace” with an Egypt that has been rearming itself to the teeth.
(The fact that Kissinger is ‘genetically’ Jewish is irrelevant. The interesting psychological phenomenon of “self-hating” Jews is well-known. These sorts of Jews are so traumatized by anti-Semitism that they actually become anti-Semitic themselves – known psychologically as “identification with the aggressor”. These Jews can turn on their own people in a most vicious, sometimes lethal manner. The recently released batch of tapes from the Nixon White House, as reported by the New York Times, report Henry Kissinger – an erstwhile Jew saying: “If they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern”. A classic case of self-hate.)
Apparently the US State Department, with its well known pro-Arab/Muslim, anti-Israel leanings, very much liked this idea of Israel getting “bloodied”. They may try to explain it as some kind of warped diplomacy – but is just vicious Jew-hatred in another guise.
Other officials can also join in Jew-hatred. Why do you think Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was so upset with Jonathan Pollard when Pollard let the Israelis know that Iraq was planning on hitting them with poison gas? Weinberger also wanted Israel to get “bloodied” (or gassed in this case). On the first night of the 1991 Iraq War, Desert Storm, Saddam Hussein bombed Israel with SCUD missiles and the Israelis sat with their children in plastic-sealed rooms with gas masks. At 3:59 AM Caspar Weinberger was interviewed on Israeli radio saying: “What a shame that Saddam is bombing Israel with nerve gas.” How did he know Saddam had SCUDs with poison gas?
Now we see that the US is trying to set up a situation where Egypt attacks Israel. How many would die on both sides? 10,000? 100,000? The diplomats don’t really care. Nor do they care if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over in Egypt. Imagine how bad that would be for US global interests. A huge Muslim/Arab country with a massive US built military goes over to radical Islam. Iran would seem mild by comparison. Yet, the diplomats behave as if they don’t care! They want to be free to connive their megalomaniacal plans and they still want to see Israel “bloodied”.
The people of the US, led by the American Congress should join with the Egyptians and Israelis to thwart this malevolent scheme. Egypt’s military should be pared down to only what it really needs for defense. Why hasn’t the annual $2Billion worth of needless military aid to Egypt been converted into civilian food aid so that Egypt stays stable, particularly in light of the devastating food riots they have experienced? Because these US diplomats still want Egypt to attack Israel – no matter how much damage Egypt will cause Israel and incur by Israel’s retaliatory defense. These diplomats are reckless despite the damage to America’s interests.
