in The Return of the Neocons on The Washington Independent
Rummy, Feith, Wolfowitz, and all the other neocon warmongers should have their medical insurance taken away, then their houses foreclosed, then their pensions removed. After their wives divorce them, they should be taken to the Green Zone, made to put on a t shirt and jeans and forced to walk out of the Green Zone into the streets of Baghdad where they will have to survive,on their own mind you, for a year, without aid from any military body. If they makes it through that year, upon their return, before they loses what jobs they had - they will be told "funding" dried up, they should be made to testify about their experiences and grilled about the falsehoods, lies, and pathologically screwed up excuses they gave the American people about the war in Iraq from their prison cells. They should be asked why on earth are American taxpayers forced to give trillions of dollars to a war when our own people are homeless or soon to be, have no jobs, no healthcare and are going without everyday. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Woolsey, Perle,Hadley, Wurmser, Natsios, Barlett, and especially Bolton should all be made to do the same thing, Bush to Anbar province, Cheney to Fallujah, and Rummy? well Rummy... let's just throw him to the troops and let them tear him apart. These a**holes should be made to disappear and never be allowed to practice their warmongering politics ever again.

in Lieberman Questions Obama’s Judgment On Iran and Israel on The Washington Independent
Joe Lie-berman is an Israel firster and a scumbag of the first order.
Go back to Israel Joe, your ilk are not wanted here anymore.
If Israelis ever want peace, they need to get rid of AIPAC.
If Americans ever want peace in the Mideast they need to get rid of AIPAC.
I will be proud of the day when Obama will put the interest of America before the interest of Israel and not be crucified for it. It's a shame that American politicians are selected, not on their commitment to the best interests of America, but by vowing to put the interests of a foreign nation, Israel, first. The oath of allegiance that I said everyday in school was not to Israel, or any country but America.
Why are we still unconditionally, unquestioningly, unendingly still financing Israel ? My tax dollars are still funding the illegal settlements in the West Bank and the apartheid oppression of the Palestinian people. Cutting their aid would make the Israel's do something, finally, after 60 years. I'm sick and tired of my tax money giving every Israel $1500.00 per capita while our own go without.
Why are we still letting AIPAC define Middle East foreign policy ? Iran nuclear transparency, means Israel better be transparent too. It's time for the US to stop the hypocritical, double standard of protecting Israel while demonizing a member of the NNPT and who allows IAEA inspections. Israel does not.
Israel warmongering through AIPAC has killed 4000+ US people in Iraq and now they want us to do their dirty work in Iran.
Those AIPAC members who demand that Israel's war crimes never be mentioned, that the Nakba is somehow anti-Semitic, and that Israel should not have to adhere to the same international nuclear regulation that is being demanded of Iran only demonstrate their ignorance and fascist tendencies when it comes to any type of open discussion of Israel. Israel refused to allow 7 Palestinian Fullbright scholarship recipients to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. Israel has violated international law and countless U.N. resolutions for decades. The Cold War is over and Israel does not offer the U.S. anything other than hampering any positive steps toward a Middle East peace and a viable Palestinian State. Israel receives one fifth of all U.S. foreign aid and yet the country is the size of Rhode Island. That money needs to be spent on America's infrastructure. It is time for the U.S. to stop the blind support of a rogue nation and cease all financial assistance to a country that continues to refuse to abide by the E.U. and U.S. 'road map".
The goal of the Israeli lobby in America,AIPAC,is to falsify, manipulate,stifle, and color discussion,debate,and our beliefs and perceptions of who is our "enemy" and who is our "friend" by deliberate obstructionism and McCarthyism.Israel and fifth-columnists in America have largely controlled our "free press" to limit the truth about the occupation and the Palestinian struggle to end the repression,apartheid,occupation,illegal colonization (settlements),collective punishment and abuse of ALL Palestinians by Israeli forces and "settlers".There will be no peace with AIPAC in existence.
The ever growing power of this group of extremist fifth-columnists to subvert OUR foreign policy in their supposed interest, at the expense of OUR real interests, is a clear and present danger to the United States. AIPAC and the other numerous pro-Israel groups like JINSA, AEI, & PNAC also subvert our electoral process to such an extent that if a candidate does not kowtow to this group of war-mongers, they will be attacked in the most extreme vitriolic manner, witness their vicious attacks on Pres Jimmy Carter and professors Walt and Mearsheimer. ANY criticism of Israel or its racist policies & occupation/colonization (theft) of Palestinian land is met with howls of outrage & the worn out charge of "anti-Semitism". The ugliness of their attacks is representative of their mistreatment of the Palestinians under the brutal occupation and policies of collective apartheid.
It is time for the U.S. to stop the blind support of a rogue nation and cease all financial assistance to a country that continues to refuse to abide by the E.U. and Quartet 'road map", UN sanctions, Geneva conventions, IAEA and NNPT rules, and continues the inhuman, apartheid treatment of the Palestinians.
Good news? There will be when the Israel recognize a two-state solution, a separation between their country and this one, the United States.
