New Attack About to Begin
WARNING !
Bush set to launch attack against himself and his administration. President signed order to allow cluster bombing of U.S. Government and personal residences of government officials including the White House and himself. Special Forces and CIA ordered by President to employ all covert ops. and drones to seek out himself personally for elimination. Bush sets deadline for himself to turn himself over to the authorities.
The above statements shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone. It would be hypocritical and an egregious error for the President and his Officials not to order their own bombardment and elimination (wasnt a particular high defense official heard to utter during several press conferences language to the effect that the death and destruction of, would not convey words of sorrow when queried about DOD preferences in context of engaging the Taliban and Al Qaeda forces) or capture and imprisonment without due process, or guarantees of protection and counsel while in captivity. How could they not and retain any credibility, or worthiness in the eyes of not only the international community and their leaders, but in the eyes of all Americans, in all walks of life as well?
Why not the opening statement, even as outrageous as it is? Wasnt the rather lofty and widely cast net in legitimizing the blitzkrieg campaign against all terrorists and terrorism to include in their own words and language those that harbor, feed, abet, or provide safe harbor and passage for any and all terrorists?
Should Bush and his cronies not be held to the same criteria, standards and rules that literally everyone else in the world is obligated to follow under the brutal, harsh and all to real threat of immense bodily harm and imminent death? And not just for ourselves, but including our entire families? Our neighbors? And whole vast regions laid to ruins?
If we and every other individual, group, affiliation, region, government, nation are to be held accountable and up to these standards, then Bush and his counterparts should damned well be taken to task and held accountable as well. There was no misunderstanding the intent and language of his mantra there was no ambiguity, no mixed signals. The message in its entirety was heard loud and clear and this American agrees unequivocally with that message. All terrorists and terrorism must not go unchallenged. It must be confronted head-on, decisively and if necessary, the moment must be sacrificed for the safety and security of tomorrow and for the future for our children. I believe in the necessity of the plan put forth by the President in dealing with the terrorists and confronting the likes of those regimes that practice their versions of subjugation, brutality and tyranny. I just do not like hypocrisy, double standards, uneven playing fields and leveraged special interests. The rules and standards must be the same for everyone and that includes the United States and more significantly Israel.
As an American I, nor anyone else has to name names. Those up front and personal in the conflict between Israel and Palestine are highly qualified to provide names, dates, times, places, incidents, detailed accounts and records of the atrocities committed by the authorities within Israel and aided and abetted by the United States Government, carried forth in the name of the American people and financed and carried out by foreign aid to Israels war machine by tax money provided by the American people.
The government of Ariel Sharon and those before him, as defined by definition and language detailed by the United Nations, the United States and by International Standard are terrorists and are committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and systematically attempting to bring as much death and destruction against an otherwise defenseless people, population and nation of Palestine and all Palestinians.
The official spin from the committing and supportive governments of Sharon and Bush can censor, manipulate and create distortions and distractions as clever as those calculated by Enron but the cold hard facts remain Israel is the aggressor, the violator, the terrorists and it can be proven. Sharon is a murderer aided and abetted by the U.S., indicted by Belgium and pursued by groups within his own country. The joke and the travesty is that Israel has succeeded in creating an image of poor old and always picked upon Israel. Look at what is happening to us now. How can this be happening to us again? History should be looked upon as guidance and as lessons to be learned and never to be repeated. Not as justification to authorize Israel to behave in a manner that justifies whatever calculating and nefarious goals it conjures. Biblical accounts and the historical facts of the holocaust do not allow Israel to carry on as it sees fit. Israel must act according to international rules of conduct and standards as any other nation.
There is a convenience in Israel casting itself as the victim and holding up Palestine and Arafat as the primary obstacles to peace. It deflects attention away from them, their atrocities, their war crimes, their brutality and bloodshed against the Palestinians, their brutal and heinous violations of decency, dignity and human rights against the poor and ravaged people of Palestine.
Come on George W., if you are going to take our money, invoke our name and that of our country in support of another, damned well make certain that that support is for a worthy, legitimate and justifiable cause in defense of a persecuted nation. That being the case I want my money to go to supporting Palestine. I want Israel held accountable and to task and I want peace in the Middle East and I want it NOW !!
I am not interested in pursuing war crimes against Sharon, or any other official. The reported crimes of murder, assassination, brutality, rape and rape of minor girls and sexual assaults by the IDF and Police of Israel, strong armed robbery, destruction and theft of personal property and residences, the bulldozing and razing of Palestinian houses with people still inside, illegal imprisonment, kidnapping, torture and violations of all human rights against the Palestinians and Palestine will need to be addressed by those in Israel and Palestine levying the charges. There are those though that are interested in pursuing these atrocities, both within Palestine and Israel and hopefully they will have their day in court. If not, then in context of being Jewish, of being the Nation of Israel and professing devout sanctity and devotion to everything Jewish, Zionism, David, the Talmud, the Torah and all else that justifies the driving piousness of Jewry, all Jews that have knowledge of, or participated in these crimes against all that they value and hold forth had better get to their knees now, because their version of religiosity calls for exactment and in these matters there most surely will be atonement, judgment and reckoning.
As an American what I want is peace in the M.E. I want peace and legitimacy for both Israel and Palestine. I want both Nations to be equal in the eyes of the other. I want cooperation, participation and conciliation between both nations and the support and backing of the entire international community, including the all to reticent Arab Nations when it comes to dealing with Israel. I want my money and my personal voice and the voice of my country to be used pursuing peaceful and legitimate policies based on diplomacy, dignity, comport, multi-lateralism and international engagement. I want all measures brought before the international community through an empowered United Nations and I want all nations to start sharing equally in all responsibilities and burdens. And I want to leave this world knowing that my children and their children knew that I did everything that I could for securing their peace and security.
There must be no compromising, or negotiating. Israel must get everything Israeli out of all occupied territories. There must be full right of return, reparations and the immediate recognition of the free, independent and autonomous Nation of Palestine. Accepted into the United Nations as a full and recognized international member and accorded all rights and privileges in all international affairs and trade and economic opportunities. Israel and Palestine must coexist peacefully, side-by-side with both sides honoring the security, borders and boundaries of the other and refraining from any hostile, or belligerent activities against the other. Israel must be accorded every right to peace and the safety and security of its borders and its residents.
If mutually acceptable language cannot determine the management of Jerusalem, then the United Nations must be prepared to take over municipal management and governance of the entire city until such time as both sides can mature into a reasonable and peaceful accord on their management of the city.
The United States, George Bush and his Administration must stop this immense disgrace upon Palestine and serve to seek a just and dignified approach to seeking peace in the M.E. that holds Israel accountable and one that uplifts the Palestinians and Palestine and not continuing to fault every event and incident at the feet of Arafat, the PNA, Hamas, Fateh and the Palestinian people.
Get the hell out of the occupied territories, quit the crimes against the Palestinians and raise the flag of the nation of Palestine. We unequivocally support the all out efforts and challenge to chase down all criminal terrorists in every corner and region of the world, but there needs to be a reasonable plan put forth before the United Nations and the International Community. Those efforts and all diplomacy must be broached first.
Does not the declared root cause of September 11th not strike a chord somewhere?
How many times must we be asked to take a look in the mirror, but still refuse blaming it all on some other hidden reason, or agenda against the mighty and above reproach U.S.?
The problem that literally every individual of every nation, of every region has is not having a method whereby their voice their message can reach and be heard by those in their government and those in influence. It is time to quit all the pretense, to stop all the dialogue and finally confront the obstacles not only to peace, but that which prevents us from elevating our humanity, dignity and righteousness to its rightful place above all else.
There must be humanity, dignity, justice and legitimacy for every person on this plant. We should not have allowed ourselves to get into this place in which we now struggle. We have not been good stewards upon ourselves and to each other and to anything around us. We systematically destroy each other, our ecosystems, our environment and perhaps ultimately great disasters are yet to occur.
There must be peace, hope, opportunity, freedom and dignity for every man, woman and child; regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, identity, or socio-economic circumstance.
We should all be ashamed and embarrassed.
We urge each and every individual in the entire world to reach out and grab their neighbors hand in peace and reach for another hand and so on until our collective voices, call and message cannot be denied, or ignored by our governments and those that invoke our names and images to carry out their deeds against other peoples and other regions, for whatever nefarious, greedy or horrific reason.
The insanity must stop and it must come from us we all must make every effort to pass the call for peace, cooperation and good-will by contacting and urging every affiliation, associate, friend, family member, link, constituent, or counterpart to contact our governments and officials with our collective demands for peace and conciliation and we must do so without hesitation, or limitation.
To Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, whatever pledge we profess, it must all be in peace and no individual, or group, no matter how apolitically professed, or whose vision and mission does not serve these arguments and call for peace can be excused in the pursuit for peace and justice. It serves us all equally and he must all serve it equally.
