How the Israel Lobby has Played the Democrats for Fools

By Chris Moore

(LibertarianToday.com) — Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who recently bragged of being “a master in calculation and tabulation” whose “double proof” formulas showed the US wouldn’t wage war on Iran, may want to recheck his figures and compare them with Pat Buchanan’s assessment of the chances for such an attack.

On MSNBC on Monday, August 27, and in his follow up columns of August 28 and September 1, Pat Buchanan hit the nail on the head in identifying the powerful forces pushing for a US war against Iran, a war that Buchanan believes might be met (at least initially) with public approval.

As Buchanan noted on MSNBC: “I think if you took polls of the American people, they would put Iran right up at the top of America’s enemies list.”

The recent US public paranoia over Iran, of course, isn’t based on reality, but rather on the latest neocon media campaign claiming anti-US machinations by Iran in Iraq, and portraying Iran’s ongoing nuclear power program as an imminent WMD “threat.” The propaganda has effectively allowed the Bush administration to scapegoat Iran for America’s self-inflicted Middle East wounds, and portray Iran as on the cusp of developing renegade nuclear weapons, which is a lie.

Buchanan continues: “So I think in the Democratic Party, of course, you’ve got the — with due respect, you’ve got the Israeli Lobby and Israel, and you’ve got the hardline like [Sen. Joe] Lieberman, and you’ve got the Neoconservatives, and you’ve got a lot of evangelical Christians and others who think this is a real menace and you ought to hit them.”

Translated from PC-speak, what Buchanan is correctly conveying here is that the Democratic Party is in the grip of the Israel lobby not only in the form of groups like AIPAC and the office of “hardline Joe Lieberman,” but also in the form of other members of the Congressional Jewish nationalist caucus, which includes left liberal Jewish Zionists such as Rahm Emanuel, Chuck Schumer, Tom Lantos, Gary Ackerman, Howard Berman, Carl Levin, Steve Rothman and Barney Frank, among others.

Two Week’s Left To Build President’s Border Fence
Bush Administration still missing deadline for promised 70 miles of border fencing

MinutemanHQ Press Release
Chris Simcox on the Radio

PHOENIX, AZ—A few weeks have passed since the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) first challenged the Bush Administration to prove it is on schedule for the construction of the initial span of physical border fencing that President Bush promised would be completed by September 30, 2007. On May 30, 2006, President Bush promised the completion of 70 miles by his self-imposed deadline, but less than 20 miles of fencing has been constructed, and to stay on track, a crash building schedule of more than 25 miles of fence per week is now required before the President’s September deadline expires.

“The American people would be better served if the Secure Fencing Act was implemented without any more Washington game-playing, Potomac two-stepping—or wasteful defense industry boondoggle contracts,” states Chris Simcox, MCDC Founder and President. “The Bush Administration needs to get serious and stop playing politics; the money should be immediately dedicated to building the Minuteman-style double-layered, doable model, rather than wasted on unproven ‘virtual’ fencing.”

To date, barely 20 miles stands of the promised 70 miles of physical border fence by the President’s self-imposed deadline of September 30, 2007, even after $1.9 Billion was appropriated for fence construction as well as for the compensation of 6,000 National Guard troops. The agencies in charge are now asking already over-burdened U.S. Border Patrol agents to volunteer their time in order to build fencing—which was originally a task relegated to members of the National Guard troops, so that Border Patrol agents could concentrate man-hours on border enforcement and apprehensions. Half of the National Guard troops are now being removed from border deployment and reassigned. (more…)
