My review of JFK's Mid East policy

To put it mildly, the Democratic Party lost its way in 1968

[Albert Doyle]

Oh Yeah. Go Bobby jr. Just when you thought times were hopeless we now see an era of finally-arriving truth appearing.



After reading further on - Holy Sh*t ! This is a historic article. RFK jr has opened up with all guns. Time to get behind him. He's made the move.


What is our erection pill media going to do? Attack the son of a CIA murder victim Kennedy?

Wow! Should be required reading...

"During the Reagan years, the CIA supplied Hussein with billions of dollars in training, Special Forces support, weapons and battlefield intelligence, knowing that he was using poisonous mustard and nerve gas and biological weaponsincluding anthrax obtained from the U.S. governmentin his war against Iran."

Now we see why American made anthrax was used to try to pin a bio-weapons charge on Iraq, because their anthrax did indeed come from the US Army.

"On September 4, 2013, Secretary of State John Kerry told a congressional hearing that the Sunni kingdoms had offered to foot the bill for a U.S. invasion of Syria to oust Bashar Assad. "In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing, the way we've done it previously in other places [Iraq], they'll carry the cost." Kerry reiterated the offer to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.): "With respect to Arab countries offering to bear the costs of [an American invasion] to topple Assad, the answer is profoundly yes, they have. The offer is on the table."

Is this the real reason why Saudi Arabia has flooded the West with cheap oil in a seemingly self destructive way?

"Despite pressure from Republicans, Barack Obama balked at hiring out young Americans to die as mercenaries for a pipeline conglomerate. Obama wisely ignored Republican clamoring to put ground troops in Syria or to funnel more funding to "moderate insurgents."

Now we see why the Republicans have a scorched earth policy with respect to Obama and his policies.

"And only when we see this conflict (Syria) as a proxy war over a pipeline do events become comprehensible. It's the only paradigm that explains why the GOP on Capitol Hill and the Obama administration are still fixated on regime change rather than regional stability, why the Obama administration can find no Syrian moderates to fight the war, why ISIL blew up a Russian passenger plane, why the Saudis just executed a powerful Shiite cleric only to have their embassy burned in Tehran, why Russia is bombing non-ISIL fighters and why Turkey went out of its way to shoot down a Russian jet. The million refugees now flooding into Europe are refugees of a pipeline war and CIA blundering."

Now we see the confusing array of interested parties from a clear perspective.

"Over the past seven decades, the Dulles brothers, the Cheney gang, the neocons and their ilk have hijacked that fundamental principle of American idealism and deployed our military and intelligence apparatus to serve the mercantile interests of large corporations and particularly, the petroleum companies and military contractors that have literally made a killing from these conflicts. It's time for Americans to turn America away from this new imperialism and back to the path of idealism and democracy. We should let the Arabs govern Arabia and turn our energies to the great endeavor of nation building at home. We need to begin this process, not by invading Syria, but by ending the ruinous addiction to oil that has warped U.S. foreign policy for half a century. "

That's an excellent article. Too bad he (publicly) believes that his father was killed by an Arab.

[Dawn Meredith]

That's an excellent article. Too bad he (publicly) believes that his father was killed by an Arab.

I'd be very surprised if he really thinks that.

[Jim DiEugenio]

He has to write that in order to get the rest of the stuff in the record.
