U.S. In Iraq & Iran : Finally Getting It Right

For the past 5 years the U.S. has suffered defeat after defeat in the preemptive Iraq War debacle. Unphased the U.S. now is considering expanding the mess into neighboring Iran. Even if Iran didn't respond to American targeted bombing, worldwide commodities funds would drive the oil futures market up minimally to $175.00 /bbl. That would further cripple our economy and may cause a collapse in tangental economies. It would also exacerbate the world food crisis. But of course Iran would respond and the fallout from a preemptive war in Iran would severely greater to world economies.

It's a truism that " People who can't remember can never learn". And so if people refuse to learn from yesterday in Iraq, today in Iraq and all those tomorrows in Iraq then it will get worse. So how will it all end for the U.S. in Iraq and the Middle East? We will lose big. And then and only then will America finally come up with a sustainable Middle East policy.

The implied corollary to this predictable outcome is that preemptive war is not a wise policy and by extension all preemptive wars SHOULD BE LOST lest they become a bad habit.

Bush & Israeli Palestinian Policies Hit New Low

Bush and his Israeli handlers are not satisfied with the pace of the disintegration in Gaza . The constructive genocide by the Israelis and the world-wide economic embargo as enforced by U.S. leadership is not working as quickly as they had planned. So Bush et al have resorted to fomenting a civil war by picking and arming Fatah over the legally elected Hamas political party. Yes, Bush is now arming street fighters as a way to further American foreign policy as per the Zionists approved view.

So what happens when the American-backed Fatah starts to edge out lesser- equipped Hamas partisans? Look for suicide bombers to crop up. How will non-combatant Palestinians know how to stay out of the crossfire? No one wears uniforms.

Bush is leading America to another new low of what's left of U.S. standing in the world. And for what purpose? Israel? It's not worth it.
