israeli analyst beats up on obama and suggests that yanks have 'lost' the middle east, basically

may 25th, 2008

i just found this in my mailbox, i know nothing about GLORIA.

the analyst quotes arch-racist churchill about dhimmitude and giving in to bullies.

he also quotes obama-bambi and his pusillanimousness towards the mohammedans (which of course may well be because he is a manchurian candidate funded by the mohammedans indirectly).

The Fall of Lebanon Barry Rubin May 24, 2008 "If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.... Oh, what a fall was there... Then I, and you, and all of us fell down." --William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar," Act 3, Scene 1. May 21, 2008, is a date--like December 7 (1941) and September 11 (2001)--that should now live in infamy. Yet who will notice, mourn, or act the wiser for it? On that day, the Beirut spring was buried under the reign of Hizballah. Speaking on October 5, 1938, after Britain and France effectively turned Czechoslovakia over to Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill said, "What everybody would like to ignore or forget must nevertheless be stated, namely, that we have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat...."[1] In contrast, Assistant Secretary of State David Welch said that the agreement over Lebanon was, "A necessary and positive step." At least when one sells out a country one should recognize this has happened rather than pretend otherwise. But this is precisely what took place at Munich, when the deal made was proclaimed as a concession that brought peace and resolved Germany's last territorial demand in the region. Churchill knew better and his words perfectly suit the situation in Lebanon today: "The utmost [Western diplomacy] has been able to gain for Czechoslovakia...has been that the German dictator, instead of snatching the victuals from the table, has been content to have them served to him course by course." Yes, that's it exactly. On every point, Hizballah, Iran, and Syria, got all they wanted from Lebanon's government: its surrender of sovereignty. They have veto power over the government; one-third of the cabinet; election changes to ensure victory in the next balloting; and they will have their candidate installed as president. ... deleted The Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya P.O.
