America, the Betrayer: The Fulfillment?
By Cale Hahn
It won't be long now. There is a palpable, nauseating sense of inevitability in the air.
President George Bush's well-intentioned, but foolishly naive vision of a new Middle East based on democracy is in flames. America has failed to topple the Iran and Syria regimes, to stem the Iraqi insurgency or to smother Iran's nuclear weapons development program.
America knows it has become persona non grata and must exit the region; but before doing so, it must secure certain guarantees the Islamic nations will not reciprocate and attack its interests once the troops go home. America's carotid artery - Middle Eastern oil - lies exposed, and it is with the greatest trepidation and reluctance it withdraws.
America is fearful of payback.
Iran's - rather than America's - vision of the Middle East is taking shape. It is a vision of a confederation of Islamic states working in tandem and coordinating policy with Iran as the power center, cleansed of Jewish and American influence and whose resources do not benefit the West.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad borrowed a line from John Lennon's peacenik song Imagine and added a distinctly Islamic twist: "Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? You had best know this slogan and this goal are attainable and surely can be achieved."
This is the environment that birthed the Iraq Study Group (ISG). America is dangerously low on ammunition and, before firing its last shot, it has hastily assembled a delegation to sue for peace before the enemy forces surge into its weakened lines. America's leadership on both sides of the aisle understands the stakes: America could lose access to Mideast oil. To lose Mideast oil is to be destroyed.
The ISG is America's delegation for peace talks. Whatever else it is purported to be, this is its true function. Page One, Chapter 1 of the report presents its interests plainly: "It (Iraq) has the world's second-largest known oil reserves."
The ISG is headed by former Secretary of State and Bush family friend James Baker, senior partner of Baker Botts Law Firm. Baker Botts is currently employed by Saudi Arabia to defend it against lawsuits brought by the families of 9/11 victims.
Baker's appointment is no accident. His relationship with Saudi Arabia is to be utilized to garner Saudi support for US regional interests. The US strategy is to use Saudi Arabia's considerable influence to secure Mideast oil for American markets after the troop pullout.
Ironically, Saudi Arabia and Iran are the foremost nations fostering global jihad. Without Saudi Arabia, global jihad would be a fraction of its current strength. Its madrassas are global jihad's food and fuel.
Saudi Arabia is Israel's fiercest enemy. It should be with the deepest sense of foreboding that Israel view Mr. Baker's appointment to head such an influential commission.
In regards to Israel, the ISG report states, "The US will not be able to achieve its goals in the Middle East unless the US deals directly with the Arab-Israeli conflict." Such a statement makes one wonder how many divisions Israel has operating in Iraq and Arab countries.
It is, in point of fact, Washington's tacit acknowledgment to the Islamic world that the US is prepared to use its influence to once again force Israel into further concessions and territorial withdrawals. Only America, as Israel's historic friend and ally, possesses the influence over Israel to force her into additional territorial withdrawals. That Washington has been the catalyst for the majority of "peace initiatives" in the Middle East is a matter of record.
Islamic leaders, aware of US influence over Israel, advise the US that the key to securing American interests in the Middle East is "resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Washington, in turn, persuades, bribes or strong-arms Israel into accepting terms and withdrawing from territory under the guise of a "peace process." Muslims then violate the agreements and the territory becomes a safe haven to strike Israeli population centers.
The harsh reality is America has secured her Middle Eastern interests at the expense of Jewish blood and Israeli security. Without American pressure on Israel, Muslim terrorists would never have gained lasting territory among Israeli population centers. After the first few bus explosions, Yasser Arafat would have been assassinated, the PLO annihilated and the land reconquered had it not been for American intervention on the terrorists' behalf.
American leaders know full well the results of ceding land to the Muslims. They have the evidence of the Jewish evacuations of Gaza and Judea and Samaria, hundreds of terrorist bombs, thousands of missiles, thousands of Israelis killed and maimed and a myriad other examples of Islamic treachery and blood-lust. Across the board, Islamic leaders declare the honor of Islam may be restored only by Israel's destruction. So they say, so it is. It is irrelevant that America refuses to accept the Islamic culture's precepts.
The US is well aware of Islamic intentions regarding Israel, and has signaled that it is prepared to go along.
Immediately following the publishing of the ISG report, several disturbing events occurred:
* James Baker proposed a US-organized conference dubbed Madrid-2, promoted as a forum to discuss Iraq, but to actually focus on Islamic demands for a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from Judea, Jerusalem, Samaria and the Golan. Iran and Syria will be invited to the conference. Israel will not.
* Newly appointed US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates characterized Iran's nuclear weapons program as motivated by deterrence against a nuclear armed Israel. Never mind that Ahmadinejad and Iran's rulers have stated their intent to "wipe Israel off the map" in the very near future.
* Without consulting the Israeli government, Washington officially disclosed Israel's possession of nuclear weapons.
* Newly empowered Congressional Democrats are secretly meeting with Hamas.
The sheer brazenness of the American treachery is staggering.
It remains to be seen which of the ISG's recommendations will be implemented, but the fact they have been proposed at all creates new expectations. The newly empowered Congressional Democrats have embraced the report, as have America's media elite, State Department, Defense Department and key members of both Congressional Parties.
Pandora's Box is opened.
America's enemies describe us as a nation without conviction, without honor, without integrity, of supreme arrogance. Perhaps our enemies are correct. Treating our allies as enemies, and our enemies as allies, it is little wonder America is despised throughout the world.
There are, however, many left in this nation perplexed and dismayed by the course of the US ship of state. But our voices are few, and have little representation in the halls of government.
America's leaders are knowingly colluding with Israel's enemies to bring about her destruction. They cannot claim ignorance: Islam's words and its actions are consistent, and declare its intent to annihilate the Jewish nation.
Let America stand warned. Let her heed the warnings from 9/11, let her heed the warnings from Hurricane Katrina. Conspire to force the Jews from the land God has given them and that which was intended for them will come upon our own heads.
If this nation does not depart from the path it is on with regard to Israel, this nation will face the full wrath of Him who protects her. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
I do not endorse this article. But rather very curious as to the reaction it provokes among US conservatives. What's your take?
These words are words of a contempary prophet. Take heed America.
I tend to distance myself from writers who cannot move beyond a one or two sentence paragraph. I'm speaking of the article and not the poster, so there is no misunderstanding.
No what is in flames this this absurd author's intellectual credibility. What a totally nonsensical, hysteric article. I guess this twit never bothered to look beyond his own dogmatic ideological feelings to see what is REALLY going on in the ME. Ignoring the problems of the ME got us 09-11-01. Too bad this dogmatic twit of an author is so desperate to cling to the emotional based dogmas of his 09-10-01 world view.
Shallow article which is not worth a serious read.
I would tell Israel to get a real, war Prime Minister... not the jellyfish that's currently in office.
America's enemies are spot on. I agree totally.
Towards the end of the article, it sounded more of a Biblical tone. If it was the last few paragraphs and get rid of the rest it would be a better read.
Read post number 13.
The only person that can really do this is of course Bibi. Could 2007 be his year?
Bibi Netanyahu is the man. I like him.
I always hesitate to ascribe specific motivations to God when it comes to natural disasters. This author will have to give further theological proof of such a claim, not casually tack it on to the last two paragraphs of an article. How does he know that Hurricane Katrina is directly related to America's treatment of Israel?
As a supporter of Israel, I am sometimes dismayed at our own tepid support. However, this author acts as if Israel has no will of its own. Just this summer, it was Israel who chose not to destroy Hezbollah when we gave them a diplomatic window to do so. While we took heavy criticism at home and abraod, mind you.
Stream of consciousness writing .....haven't seen that since high school.
