Bush's Middle Eastern Quagmire and Apocalypse Future

[DuctapeFatwa]

One trusts that an American electorate mesmerized by Reality TV and the NFL/NBA regular season schedules will stop long enough to contemplate the apocalyptic implications of Gordon Thomas's October 27th exclusive for the American Free Press: that George Bush's neo-conservative regime has secretly flown 100 Harpoon cruise missiles tipped with nuclear warheads to the joint American-UK military base stationed on the remote Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.

Thomas informs us that it is now known where 72 of these Harpoons have been subsequently assigned--to three Israeli Dolphin-class submarines (24 apiece) that have subsequently left Diego for the Gulf of Oman. The purpose? To target Iranian nuclear facilities well within the range of the Dolphins and their collective nuclear-tipped payload supplied by the United States. Most ominously, these instruments of mass death and destruction are under the command-and-launch decision making authority of one Ariel Sharon, whose moral, political, and military mindset is best revealed by his pivotal role in the Sabra and Shatila massacres in southern Lebanon in 1982, along with occupational policies on the West Bank and Gaza that have recently included the deliberate IDF bulldozing to death of Olympia, Washington's Rachel Corrie, an unarmed peace activist protesting Palestinian house demolitions sanctioned by the Sharon government.

It gets worse. The Thomas story has subsequently been confirmed by a senior aide to Bush National Security Advisor Condolezza Rice for both the Los Angeles Times and London's Guardian newspaper.

Where, pray tell, is the American media and Congress in confronting George Bush with the absolutely incomprehensible decision to supply any government--much less the Sharon regime in Tel Aviv--with American nuclear weaponry and the accompanying authority to decide if, when, and against whom the Apocalpyse is to be unleashed?...

3. This is total madness...............

I am reading about this for the 1st time. Sharon has command and control? WTF! I cannot believe this is not front page news in every newspaper.....if these are used, this will jumpstart the doomsday scenario we've always dreaded. These same idiots who thought Iraqis would welcome us with open arms probaby think that this will serve to resolve the Mid-East problems.

Unbelievable....

9. LOL hey, see my sig

whether using nukes on Diego Garcia or those stored in Israel proper, I do not think it would be in the best interests of the Israeli people to nuke their neighbors.

I am not entirely sure it would be in Ariel Sharon's best political interests, even.

Another tinfoil hat conspiracy theory going around says there were a hundred thousand somepm people protesting against the occupation and Sharon at the Rabin memorial...

10. They all seem to want money to support their "research".

It's interesting they agree about the Harpoon threat.
I'm not buying much these days, if you get me, but there is
always that chance for a "clarifying" event.
