That's not even a nice try.

I'm not aware that the "Jewish Lobby" you refer to is responsible for our continued massive ground presence in Germany. Please feel free to let me know if I haven't gotten the word.

Ten years after the Berlin Wall came down we still had something like 75,000 ground troops there in addition to their dependents, the schools needed for their children, the medical and dental facilities, the cost of shipping household goods, etc. That's a pretty sizable force to maintain without any mission. The Defense Department could use the funds we spend to maintain our ground forces in Europe if we brought them home - the sooner the better - to defend the US by upgrading US facilities and equipment.

I suspect most of us who knew the War in Iraq was a counterproductive fool's errand from the start recognized that it was only a question of time before our involvement in the region would prompt one of the region's many warring factions to see us as opposing them and extend their war to the US.

My understanding of "truthers" is that they believe that 9/11 was undertaken by the US government - an idea I find ridiculous.

As long as you've asked about Jewish conspiracies could you tell me how I should answer those who ask about the Bergen Record's reporting on the Israelis who were seen cheering and recording the attacks on the WTCs from a rooftop in Jersey City? I'll admit that one stumps me.

Go back and read my post again. I thought it interesting that the author whom I quoted made reference to ‘code words’. Then I found your response replete with paleo-conservative and libertarian ‘code words’.

“As long as you’ve asked about Jewish conspiracies could you tell me how I should answer those who ask about the Bergen Record’s reporting on the Israelis who were seen cheering and recording the attacks on the WTCs from a rooftop in Jersey City? I’ll admit that one stumps me.”

Oh, you did get the memo? That story was posted here by Justin Raimondo of antiwar dot com. He’s a big truther. Runs a sister website to Lew Rockwell who is also a big truther. Both are big in the ‘Jewish lobby runs American foreign policy’ business. Ron Paul is listed as a contributor on both sites.

We used to call him ‘Justin, the jooos did it, Raimondo’ before Jim banned him.
