McCain pledges allegiance to Israel, vows to eliminate Hezbollah |
2008-03-21 |
Visiting U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Wednesday signaled vigorous support for Israel during a fact-finding mission widely seen as a bid to polish his credentials as a statesman. The Arizona senator warned that Israel's armed foes threatened not only the Jewish state but also U.S. interests and everything the West holds dear. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post published on Wednesday, he said Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the Gaza Strip, and Lebanon's Hizbullah, both threaten the interests of the United States and the West in general. |

#3 IMO, the weight of evidence indics that Osama's = Radical Islam's REGIONAL-GLOBAL JIHAD has better chance of effect or success outside of Iraq-Afghanistan, i.e. AGZ RUSSIA EURO ANDOR EVEN ISRAEL, ETC., than agz USA in same. ISLAMISM IS SPREADING IN CENTRAL ASIA AND RUSS IS HARD-PRESSED TO EVEN CHALLENGE LOCALLY. OTOH, GUARDIAN UNLIMITED > SUNNI MILITIA STRIKE MAY DERAIL US STRATEGY AGZ AL QAEDA; + HOT AIR > USA TODAY - on foreign fighters bugging out of Iraq??? MY READ - TO SEEK BETTER PICKINS ELSEWHERE = NOT AGZ THE USA??? * KOMMERSANT > THE ENTIRE RUSSIAN FLEET - denotes Russ serious probs in mounting even an organized naval force, + WAFF.com > JAPAN TO SEEK PEACE TREATY WITH RUSSIA [Kuriles]. IFF RADICAL ISLAMISM DOES HAVE A HIDDEN IMAM-MAHDI, HE BETTER SHOW UP QUICK, NLT EOY 2008 FOR RADICAL ISLAMISTS' SAKE. |
