Reply #86: Let me ask you this: because the Bush Administration was

[Colorado Blue]

idiotic, refusing to listen to Clinton or to Clarke, who'd been begging them to pay attention to al Qaeda, and because Bush was too stupid to pay attention to the violence in the middle east until it got really bad, this is Israel's fault?

Our national security problems were set in motion during the Reagan/Bush administration, when US policy in the Middle East became unbelievably surreal: arming Iran and Iraq, arming the mujeheddin who became al Qaeda, setting nation against nation - they gave chemical weapons to Saddam and used Israel to arm Iran!

And, they used bigtime Saudi money. Unger says they even helped fund shenanigans in Latin America. And remember Iran/Contra? Ollie North? Same outfit: the Reagan/Bush Administration.

Holy shit!

This isn't Israel's fault, it is the original Bush/Reagan's fault, and the same guys are still in power.

"House of Bush, House of Saud" is a must read - Michael Moore used it as the basis for his film Farenheit 9/11. It lays this all out. It's been decades in the making.
