". . . .a former senior official of the CIA"

[QuettaKid]

""The U.S. alliance with Israel and the power of the lobby that lets Israel so easily influence U.S. foreign policy have been major factors in allowing the monstrous slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. What is happening in these lands may also encourage Olmert and Bush to start new hostilities in Syria and heavy, possibly nuclear, bombings in Iran -- and this entire mess of neocon pottage may lead to a new World War and clashes of civilizations and religious fundamentalisms that these two wretched politicians seem quite literally to want to impose on the rest of us.""

2. Ya do know, in a clash of civilizations, I want the West to win...I just

don't want it to have to go that far. I prefer a live and let live world.

5. Trouble is we are already in a fight

for Western values ... against B*sh-Blair.

7. When I read what you wrote I heaved a very heavy sigh...too true

even if the Western world wins this fight of civilizations it will not EVEN look like the Western world it was BEFORE this fight...maybe we should NOT win? I am too confused with all that is happening right now the spin they put out actually makes my head STOP SPINNING!

6. what's scary is it appears that we are losing. We've been outsmarted

at just about every turn.

8. what I think is scary

is that someone with 28 years experience at the CIA is finally giving some credence to the idea that 9/11 was an inside job.....and the silence from the MSM is deafening.
