US neocons hoped Israel would attack Syria
Israel considered expansion of conflict in Lebanon 'nuts.'

By Tom Regan | csmonitor.com
The White House, and in particular White House advisors who belong to the neoconservative movement, allegedly encouraged Israel to attack Syria as an expansion of its action against Hizbullah, in Lebanon. The progressive opinion and news site ConsortiumNews.com reported Monday that Israeli sources say Israel's "leadership balked at the scheme."

One Israeli source said Bush's interest in spreading the war to Syria was considered "nuts" by some senior Israeli officials, although Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has generally shared Bush's hard-line strategy against Islamic militants. After rebuffing Bush's suggestion about attacking Syria, the Israeli government settled on a strategy of mounting a major assault in southern Lebanon aimed at rooting out Hizbullah guerrillas who have been firing Katyusha rockets into northern Israel In a July 30 story about Israel being prepared for a possible attack by Syria in response to its attacks in Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post noted the White House interest. The IDF was also concerned about a possible Syrian attack in response to the ongoing IDF operations in Lebanon. It was also known that Syria had increased its alert out of fear in Damascus that Israel might attack. Defense officials told the Post last week that they were receiving indications from the US that America would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria.

1. These neocon fucks need to all be behind bars

:mad:

[BeHereNow]

2. WE MUST unseat the neocons from our government offices.

Thanks for posting this article.
Now we know exactly just how dangerous
these people are and that they must be
replaced with sounder minds.

"Defense officials told the Post last week that they were receiving indications from the US that America would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria."

Oh really?
America would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria?
Why not just say,
"America would be interested in buying a one way ticket on the
train to hell?

10. Thats going to take crowbars, blowtorches, and lots of body bags..

(for us) cause the Neocons will NOT go quietly into that great night.

[BeHereNow]

13. You are right, they will not give up power easily...

but there is a real good chance that it will become SO
evident that no one elected them, once Americans become
miserable enough that is, that the house of smoke and mirrors
will collapse. All empires fall due to over reaching-
trouble is, we will have to figure out how to survive
them in the meantime.
They are racking up major blowback for the rest of us, as we type.

3. Proving they are eager for the total destruction of Israel.

What kind of people could be happy on millions of graves?

4. Neocons who cheer Israeli militarism don't give a shit...

...about the country or it's people.

[BeHereNow]

6. Precisely what I just posted below.

The neocons will manipulate the
Christian Right, the Jews for Jesus freaks
and anyone else gullible enough to believe
the stated goals; what ever advances the
neocon corporate world banking elite.

5. The global elite?

They don't give a damn about countries or the
people who live in them.
Including ours.
Israel is just another neocon stepping stone
and the neocons don't care about the people
who live there anymore than they give a damn
about the people who live here, or in Iraq, or Lebanon.
They only care about one thin and one thing only.
Global hegemony, at any cost.

7. On the money and beautifully succinct. It's all you need to know n/t

[BeHereNow]

9. Why, thank you Sinti!

Now if only we could all focus on the REAL problem, eh?
All the knee jerk discussions are only wasting precious time.

The global elite have a very clear plan and they make
progress on it daily while we discuss the smoke
and mirror details that they feed us through their
media.

We need to concentrate on what matters,
but we don't, which is why they are succeeding.

My humble opinon.

11. I tend to agree - but I also think they will over reach

There are many more of us (regular people of all nationalities, faiths, etc) than there are of them. In a near instant all of their plans could turn to dust, in a kind of sudden awakening. If people were to realize how manipulated they are the backlash would be so brutal as to make Robespierre proud. IMO :)

12. Ever read "Danton's Death" by Georg Buchner?

I think it bears another read right about now.
I think the masses are getting close and
you are right, the fall will be due to over reaching
by the empire.

14. Sounds excellent :) n/t

15. Israel is a tool to them. They don't give a shit about Israel. But they

love the fools of Likud because they are just as nuts as they are and they will each use each other until the world explodes. Olmert is just as nuts as Rumsfeld, Cheney or any of the other PNACers

[BeHereNow]

16. You got that right!

"Olmert is just as nuts as Rumsfeld, Cheney or any of the other PNACers..."

I saw your post on the Olmert/Robertson prayer thread in LBN.
I need no further evidence that Olmert is nuts.
Birds of a feather flock together and all.

Did you see the link I posted on that thread about the CUFI?
They've been having secret meetings with the administration
to advise them on maintaining the biblical prophecies
as they shape foreign policy for the ME...
Be afraid.

"Over the past months, the White House has convened a series of off-the-record meetings about its policies in the Middle East with leaders of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a newly formed political organization that tells its members that supporting Israel's expansionist policies is "a biblical imperative." CUFI's Washington lobbyist, David Brog, told me that during the meetings, CUFI representatives pressed White House officials to adopt a more confrontational posture toward Iran, refuse aid to the Palestinians and give Israel a free hand as it ramped up its military conflict with Hezbollah.

The White House instructed Brog not to reveal the names of officials he met with, Brog said. "

18. That's right. Bush doesn't support Israel, he plays Israel.

And, the reverse is most likely also true.

But, none of us here are sitting in shelters watching our kids run out of their medications.

I hope these felons fry in some life.

8. This article sources comments by political commentators

To an extent, I believe that the Bush administration wants Israel to get involved with Syria. The only reason I may not believe this is that we are still committed in Iraq.

However, I don't think any government official has or has to directly tell Israel to escalate the war. The views of the neoconservatives are already known.

19. Of course. What else would the tile be?

Geezus.

20. Neocons have no allegiance to Israel and anyone who thinks otherwise

is a fool. Neocons only have allegiance to one thing - money. The root of all evil, IMO.

21. Been making this exact point for a while

now maybe people will start to realize I ain't nuts
