- The US needs more troops to continue the occupation in
Iraq. Maybe the little country that says it is sovereign, but always turns
to us for money and has received $1.6 Trillion by way of assistance from
the taxpayers of the United States, might want to come forward.
-
- Yes, $1.6 Trillion - http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1209/p16s01-wmgn.html
-
- Militarily, the new USA is now stretched too thin. Thanks
to the complete diplomatic failures of Little Big-Mouth, we,ve not been
able to attract help from the 'other' nations that we tried to intimidate
prior to our invasion.
-
- Assuming that we're not going to do the right thing and
just leave Afghanistan and Iraq especially given our miserable performance
in attempting to manage the after-action occupations, not to mention the
non-reconstruction of either Afghanistan or Iraq. And since Bush keeps
overloading us with phrases like "Bring 'em on!" - 'we' obviously
need some additional military help.
 So perhaps it's time for a gesture
of payback, some token of goodwill in exchange for fighting all their wars
for them. The little country really ought to have their own troops in these
places anyhow - doing their own dirty work for themselves, and this time
under their own flag instead of using ours.
-
- Of course, it used to be illegal for members of the U.S.
Government to receive political 'donations' from foreign countries, or
foreign nationals - but in the case of Israel, it seems that US laws do
not apply. In fact it's rumored to be very difficult to be in the US Congress
unless one favors virtually everything that Israel wants to have approved.
Given the $1,600,000,000 already 'invested' - Why is this policy never
questioned?
-
- The Israelis planned the Iraq war, even before Bush took
charge of the White House. So, why shouldn't they be the ones with targets
on their backs everyday? After all, they have received far more of the
US taxpayer's money than any state in the Union, and they give us nothing
for that kind of help. Besides, they've a lot more experience pushing conquered
people around. Just yesterday, they attacked Syria for the first time in
two decades - on another pretext: is this the opening round in our next
agression? That may sound ourtrageous but there are 5 countries in the
Middle East they have targeted for us to invade, and Syria is one of them.
-
- In Palestine, they've succeeded in making open murder
a regular part of their 'political, actions' against those they disagree
with - so, why not let them try their methods in a country where there
are some weapons in the hands of the 'conquered' - where the subject population
can do more than just throw stones? What are friends for if they don't
come to help when their benefactors are so obviously in need of assistance?
20,000 hardened troops might do for a start.
- Some might say that this would destabilize the region,
if not the world. But this is a 'nation' that has nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons in abundance - just as we do. Plus, between their missiles
and their air power they possess the means to deliver those weapons anywhere.
Since all of this chaos of 'Enduring Freedoms' at the price of American
Freedoms has become intense, Israel has remained silently engrossed in
annexing more Palestinian land, and killing off more of those who resist
their occupations. Between regularly destroying any peace plans that might
surface in their region, while loosing their rogue agents on the world,
to perform sanctioned hits in other countries: Israel has otherwise maintained
a low profile.
-
 But now because of money we're
coming down to reality, and we need some help - so where are the mighty
warriors from that nearly invisible nation? They're still 'expanding' their
little settlements, and stealing land from those whom they are supposed
to protect - and they need to have the time to continue with the murder
and enslavement of those they are supposedly occupying.
Israel is unique. That country remains outside the major monetary blocks
of transnational affairs and yet it is shunned by most of the civilized
world. The USA seems to be the only 'power' to have taken up their interests,
but this has been a strictly one-way road - 'we' have nothing to say about
what Israel does or does not do. Still, isn't it about time that Israel
began to pay more for the perks they've been receiving - with their own
troops, their own weapons, and their own tactics - so they can show the
world how a true occupation ought to be run!
- If Israel can't do that, then maybe they should begin
paying back at least half that money which we have given them. Like Bush,
Sharon is a lousy diplomat, and an even worse head of state. But money
is money, and it should speak much louder than it has been allowed to -
in the Middle East.
-
- The taxpayers of the United States are owed both an explanation
and a return on their money. So, when should we expect to see the IDF triumphantly
relieving the US troops of the occupation in Iraq?
