“Always grey and carrying a trunk, that’s Witty.”

Now there’s a poet! The metaphor dazzles with its multiple images, and sense of zoology and history, and politics.

Well, it’s at least a lyric entry worthy of Dylan, if not a TS Eliotn fragment.

Your flip comparison concusion regarding the USS Liberty incident and McCain’s flying record is insulting, especially to those Americans who have studied the USS Liberty incident and how it was and still is, covered-up, the first and only time the US Navy did this.
How many Americans died in the respective incidents is not the most material distinction by a long shot.
I assume everyone here knows about the USS Liberty; for those who might
want to know more about McCain’s cavalier flying negiligence:

So maybe Obama and Petraeus are on the same wave length? Each from their special perch? And the same along the rhetorical way there, as they kept stepping up in power?

“The only real political accomplishment occurs with a change of heart.”

Yeah, give me a call when the Israelis have one. It’s not my problem.

“It just occurred to me that the reason you are so opposed to BDS is becasue you know that Israel is not open to change or a peace agreement.”

Bingo! And next Witty will move to his next set of trenches, which is: “Don’t dump on me, I’m not as bad as the Israelis, I’m a nice guy, not like Israeli racists.”
Always grey and carrying a trunk, that’s Witty.

Petreuas is just throwing curve balls loaded with crap at Obama.
So to the War on Iraq, Petreaus had no objections, certainly none worth resigning over. When did he learn to be truthful.

Watch, whatever Obama does do, Petreaus will say it was wrong.
Anmd if American troops do get involved in any way, they will be used by the Israelis to do more harn to the Palestinians.

Making the right noises about the issues doesn’t change a person. Or even a General.

“Senator McCain is on record as describing the USS Liberty as just a little accident…”

And by comparison to McCain’s record of flying disaters and bombing his own shipmates, it was. Were there more people killed on the Liberty or the Forrestal?

As is obvious by now, the “Jewish” in the “Jewish State” is there for distraction, to tie the troubles and persecution of the Jews to the colonial efforts of the Zionists. To provide the raw material of Zionism from the gullible, dispossesed and fanatic among them.

Either that, or I belong to a religion whic demands colonial agression from its members, cause it makes God happy?

The funniest thing about it is this: where on earth did anyone ever get the idea that a Jewish State was a good thing for Jews? First, can they define what it is (apart from ethnic supremacy) that makes Israel “Jewish”? Do the ministers and administrators consult the Talmud and Haftorah for their political solu tions?
And funniest of all, apart from a legendary Jewish empire in the Old Testament, can anybody point me to an example of Jews sucessfully ruling Jews in a state? Hell, Jewish leaders couldn’t even get Jews integrated into a state until some Deists, Christians and Protestants gave us a democratic framework, which allowed us, as individuals, to by-pass and ignore Jewish leaders!

Really, there’s nothing which should scare a Jew like the words Jewish State.
Imagine being ruled by Richard Witty, and him being possibly the best there is on offer?

I do, of course declare and swear that I will reverse all my conclusions if God were to appear and make a pronouncement on the subject. His last paper on the subject, in answer to the question “Hey, why can’t we have a King and Nation like the other guys?” Was pretty much to the point, and it amounts to “You fuck up to much in that department, fellas. Build your Golden Calf on somebody else’s watch!”
