#1 "Abbas-Mitchell Plan To Use NATO Troops To ~~Protect Palestine State~~ Attack Israel"

FTFY.

And since when did the "PA" join NATO? F*ck Mitchell. F*ck Abbas.

#2 He [Mitchell] said Israel must accept the principle of a Palestinian state in the entire West Bank as well as eastern Jerusalem.

Will Palestine and the rest of the mideast accept Israel as a state? I didn't think so.

Who is a Palestinian being protected from?

#3 Actually, it's not a bad idea, provided that the headline is as misleading and incorrect as this PA official's statement suggests it is:
"The deployment of NATO forces is meant to overcome Israel's security objections to a Palestinian state," an official said.

As I've understood this idea in the past, the main goal of a NATO deployment is to protect both Isral and the moderate minority of Pals from the armed gangs who rule, or misrule, the Pals.

So the headline really ought to read: NATO TROOPS TO POLICE PALESTINE STATE AND PROTECT ISRAEL FROM IT.

#4 Israel should agree, as long as it gets to select *which* NATO nations would be involved, and under what nations commanders. NATO has 28 members, and only *some* of them are anti-Israel.

My picks would be Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland (maybe), Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Commanded by Hungarians and Romanians, who understand Muslims. Really well. Maybe the Poles could provide the "poles", if you know what I mean and I think you do.

#6 Why in hell would Estonia (where I live) send troops to protect Palestinians? We've been fighting and dying in Iraq, fighting and dying in Afghanistan, and the current administration is playing footsie with, potentially, our only security threat.
Screw that noise.

#7 George, why don't you stick to finding out if Clemens did steroids rather then peddling your ass on the international stage like a two dollar crack whore.

#9 A Palestian state on the west bank would need protection from Hamas.

Right now, the Israelis do a lot of this themselves with cooperation of Fatah. No one in Fatah thinks they can do this themselves (although they may assert this for the cameras).

#11 I'm sure NATO on the West Bank will be as useful to Israel as the UN has been in Lebanon.

#13 FOX NEWS AM + YNETNEWS > US: "IRON DOME" WILL WORK, espec as complemented supported by US Patriot batteries + NATO BMD-ADS MilSys.

* HAARETZ > SUSAN RICE > {US] WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIELD ISRAEL DIPLOMATICALLY + MILITARILY [etc], US OFFICIAL SAYS.

US Suppor + Defense, etc. for Israel is "NON-NEGOTIABLE", + US will continue to help Israel maintain its QUALITATIVE EDGE agz enemies.

VERSUS

*ISRAELI NN >[World renowned UK ORG = Oxford Research Group] THINK TANK SAYS ISRAEL WOULD STRIKE IRANIAN UNIVERSITIES, as part of any Israel-specific Military attack agz IRAN'S NUCPROGS since to absolutely Iran's Nucprgs means Israel may have to strike FACTORIES, GOVT-PRIVATE RESEARCH CENTERS, + UNIVERSITY LABS [Mines, Transportation-Logistic Links, etc.]

* TOPIX/YNETNEWS > REPORT: ANY ISRAELI ATTACK ON IRAN WILL START A "LONG WAR".

Lest we fergit, GOVT + RADICAL MULLAHS = IRAN will never surrender to any US = US-ISRAELI ATTACK OR INVASION, + TEHRAN = IRAN is willing to USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY INCLUD DETONATING NUKES-WMDS ON THEIR SOIL + CITIES, ETC. TO DEFEAT OR DESTROY AN INVASION [anti-US "asymmetric warfare = "People's War" = "Vietnam War" in the Persian Gulf, wid "OPTION" FOR MUTUAL DESTRUCTION].

* Also from INN > [Shahzad Faisal]TIMES SQUARE BOMBER: ATTACK ON US IS REVENGE FOR [US = US-led]OPPRESSED MUSLIMS, since the post-9-11 US invasion of Afghanistan = AFPAK.

ARTIC > FAISAL = PLANNED ATTACK WAS MEANT TO SHOW THAT THE "MUSLIM WAR [agz US] HAS JUST BEGUN, + HOW ISLAM WILL SPREAD/EXPAND TO THE ENTIRE WORLD".

IOW, IIUC FAISAL > ISLAMIST-LED MILTERR, prob including post-2012+ NUCLEAR-WMD MILITANCY-TERRORISM, WILL COME TO CONUS + WEST? - 'TIS ONLY A QUESTION OF "WHEN", NOT "IFF"???

SUB-IOW, IIUC Faisal per se has INDIR INFERRED THAT THE ISLAMIST JIHAD" IS ALSO A GLOBAL/UNIVERSAL MUSLIM CONQUEST IN SCOPE.

#14 OOOOOPPPSIES, forgot SUB-SUB IOW, FAISAL > IMO also infers that THE REGIONAL = FUTURE "GLOBAL/
UNIVERSAL" ISLAMIST JIHAD-INSURGENCIES will be EXPANDING THEIR MIL EFFORTS AT THE SAME TIME WHILE THE "BRING THE BOYZ HOME" USA = POTUS BAMMER PLANS TO REDUCE OR CONTRACT ITS MILPOL EFFORTS OVERSEAS.

#15 WAFF > YOUTUBE > [Retired LTC] ALLEN WEST: WE ARE FIGHTING ISLAM, NOT TERRORISM.

* SAME > [Hamsaniyeh.Net]BRITISH THINK TANK WARNS OF GLOBAL REPERCUSSIONS | IN 1971, THE US DE-LINKED/DISLODGED THE LINKING OF ITS GLOBAL CURRENCY TO THE COUNTRY'S GOLD RESERVES, SINCE THEN THE MAJOR WORLD CURRENCIES ESPEC THE US DOLLAR IS SUPPORTED [read, Depends/Dependent On] BY THE STEADY FLOW OF ENERGY [OIL + GAS] THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

ARTIC > denotes that ANY "SINGLE" UNILATERAL US-ISRAEL ATTACK ON IRAN [read, HOWEVER MASSIVE ORINTENSIVE] IS UNLIKELY TO STOP IRAN'S NUCPROGS

* SAME WAFF > [Hamsaniyeh.Net]BETWEEN TEHRAN + GAZA.

ARTIC > TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY CONFERENCE > PROF. ITAMAR RABINOVITCH argued that:

To wit,

* ISRAEL has NOT won any clear-cut or decisive Military Victory-Campaign since 1982 Lebanon War agz PLO.
* CONVENTIONAL WARFARE, aka CLASSIC OR TRADITIONAL STATE(S)-VERSUS-STATE(S) WARFARE, is no longer ISRAEL'S PRIMARY OR BIGGEST REGIONAL OR GEOPOL CHALLENGE.

* There is extant REGIONAL + GLOBAL "DE-LEGITIMIZATION" EFFORT AGZ ISRAEL, including but nit limited to its RIGHT TO EXIST.
* REGIONAL LR MISSLE THREAT [IRBMS, ICBMS, Strategic Bomber] = has REPLACED THE COLD WAR "TERRORISM THREAT" AGZ ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE. ISRAEL'S BMD, regardless of level of techs, is in LT FUNDAMENTALLY INADEQUATE TO RELIABLY PROTECT ISRAEL AGZ ON-GOING MIL + NUCLEAR MODERNIZATIONS OF ARAB-MUSLIM STATE, REGIONAL MILITANT GROUPS.
* TURKEY > desires HEGEMONY IN THE MIDEAST EAST. Rabinovitch IHO believes that Turkey is likely unable to gain formal admission to the EU due to the EU = EUros bias agz Turkey as a Muslim State, + that Turkey's Govt-Society is becom increasing susceptible to ANTI-US-WESTERN, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC ISLAMIST FUNDAMENTALISM.

TURKEY AT PRESENT IS NOT TURNING AGZ THE US-EURO/WEST BUT DOES HAVE ITS OWN TURK-SPECIFIC IDEA = BRAND OF REGIONAL, GLOBAL "MANIFEST DESTINY" [Imperialism] + "ISLAMIC" INTERESTS VEE US-WEST + OTHER MUSLIM POWERS.
