Smear Jobs

More excellent work from NRO. Robert Malley has a job at the International Crisis Group where he, among other things, writes analytical reports about the situation in the Middle East. In the course of doing such work, he has spoken with leaders of Hamas. Naturally, this equals "connections with Hamas" and "palling around with terrorists."

I guess by this standard Jeff Goldberg's a Hezbollah operative or something.

Jewish antisemite Malley has just resigned as an adviser to the Osama camp. Good riddance to bad medicine. Unfortunately, Brzezinski and Merrill McPeak, Osamas' military adviser. In addition to being an retired air force general, which by itself should disqualify him, McPeak is another antisemitic Israel basher.

Each week there's new fall-out from the Obama campaign. The next to be booted out will likely be General Merrill "Tony" McPeak, Senator Barack Obama's military advisor and co-chair of his presidential campaign. He's a longtime anti-Israel critic who blames Israel and American Jews for preventing a peace agreement, believes Israel should withdraw to '67 borders and give up the Golan.

I wonder who Tony has been meeting with?

In a recent article in The Independent (of London) Johann Hari condemned those like SLC who trot out the anti-semite canard:

In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence – and to a large degree, it works. There is nobody these self-appointed spokesmen for Israel will not attack as anti-Jewish: liberal Jews, rabbis, even Holocaust survivors.

Goldberg isn't an operative for Hamas? Because he and his influential sources could not be doing a better job building up those guys.

If Obama is firing any of his advisers, it's only to pander more to the Zionist scum like SLC - except SLC doesn't have any money to give to Obama. So Obama's really pandering to the same Zionist scum who support Clinton.

Which only goes to show what I've said before - Obama is really clueless about foreign policy. Despite his alleged "sympathy" to the Palestinians, he will end up betraying them just as every other President did. Worse, he will aggravate the situation by supporting Israel's attack on Lebanon and Syria which is upcoming. And if he inherits the Bush-Cheney war on Iran, he will do little to stop it because he believes "Iran is a threat".

Anyone who thinks Obama is going to solve the US's foreign policy and national security problems are hopelessly naive.

For the record, of course, Clinton would be worse and McCain an utter disaster.

There's nothing wrong with US foreign policy a nuke can't fix.
For decades USAF and marines have wreaked havoc on country after country. For corporate greed, the zionists, the war profiteers, for diverging public attention from internal criticism...or for the dream of a "Pax Americana" nobody else wants.
Maybe if you one day found yourselves on the receiving end of "Shock and Awe" Not like the 911 they used as a pretext for more wars, that incident was local land lasted but a few hours, but day after f%¤/&%¤&¤&¤ day- 24/7 .year after year, all over the country.
Maybe then you would learn empathy, and how to solve political problems by other means

O/T but if you want smeared, take a look at J. Wright's NAACP and Press Club appearances on YouTube. How anyone could call that hate speech is beyond me. The media screwed that guy, by which I mean he was fucked like a plump bunny.

I agree, Daga, that sooner or later someone will get a nuke into Washington, once somebody serious really gets tired of all this US bullshit.

Only problem is that will simply allow the rich people who run the country from some other city to make things even worse - if that's possible.

My original terrorist plan was to kill the top ten thousand people running this country - not just politicians, but corporate, religious and news media as well. If one could do that, it would slow things down somewhat - maybe.
