Happy Christmas!

Just in case anyone reads my blog - I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
And if you don't read my blog - then you should!
It's important to me.
But it's only important to me - nobody else.
So what the hell - Merry Christmas anyway:-)

Nuclear Bullshit

Robert Gates, US Defence Secretary, has defended Israel's nuclear armaments at a Middle East security conference attended by most of the Arab world.
He does not see the comparison between Israel's nuclear arsenal and a possible Iranian nuclear capability. He stated that Israel does not train terrorists to disrupt the Lebanese government.
This, understandably, brought wry smiles to the faces of government representatives from the Arab states in the region.
Of course Israel does not train terrorists. It has no need. It has a legitimate military to do its dirty work.
Like suppressing the Palestinians.
Like taking the Golan Heights from Syria.
Like invading Lebanon on several occasions, killing thousands of innocent civilians over the killing of a few Israeli soldiers.
But all this is legitimate because it is the army, not a bunch of terrorists.
Yeah, right.
Who was it who helped build that army?
Who gave the Israelis the know-how to make nuclear weapons - which could be called "weapons of mass destruction" (where have I heard that phrase before?) and the means of delivering them?
The Yanks!
No wonder the other governments taking part in the conference thought that Mr Gates was the comedy act in between the real discussions!
With statements like those from Mr Gates who can believe anything that the US government says? But then, the US government is so tied to the Jewish vote that it dare not do anything less if it wants to survive.
There will be elections next year to see who is President of the US. It doesn't matter to the Israelis which party gets in because they have the monetary leverage to make sure their desires are fulfilled whether the President is a Republican or a Democrat.
Shit happens . . .
Unfortunately American shit costs lives.
