"if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq we would not be doing this."

How does this differ from Saddam Hussein's contention that the impending war is a zionist production?

all i know is people like perle et al. who authored report in 99 to invade iraq and in power now are all super pro israel.

you just cant dispute that.

note that im not even going so far as to say that this congressman and others are right. but they could be right and i think they have a right to make their case without immediately being blackballed.

notice how theres almost a total news blackout about israeli involvement in coming war?

i mean on a scale of 1-10 in terms of national security i would put coming war at a 10 for israel and maybe a 2 or 3 for the US.

Good point, Andy.

Also, how is it any different from Trent Lott's comments a few months ago? Where is the outrage from the democrats? Sure, Pelosi and a few others offered some criticism, but there was nowhere near the outrage there should have been.

M hit it on the head, Brad. The titles to your posts frequently have nothing to do with what is contained in them.

That was not the title of your post.

Well it's different because Saddam Hussein is dictator and as a result doesn't really care on whit about his constintuency. Moran on the other hand is an elected official so presumably he is sensitive to the various interest groups that try to sway his vote. I don't think Saddam's direct line is the palm pilot of any lobbyists representing Jewish and/or Israeli interests.

hey the guy got stripped of all power for suggesting that the pro israel lobby was in favor of war in iraq (which is obvious as iraq is big threat to israel).

doesnt that denote power?
