Washington Institute: 'Let's Bomb Syria'

Wednesday February 5, 2014

After the careful and reasoned consideration usually given to foreign affairs by the neocons, the AIPAC-founded Washington Institute for Near Policy (WINEP) has come to a conclusion: we need to bomb Syria. In an article titled, "A New Approach to the Syria Crisis," the neocons at WINEP offer not only a very old approach to the crisis, but actually their only approach to any crisis: bombs away!

The author, former US ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey (2010-2012 -- heckuva job!), is listed as the "Philip Solondz distinguished visiting fellow...[focusing] on U.S. strategies to counter Iran's efforts to expand its influence in the broader Middle East."

In English, that translates to "here's lots of money to argue for a US attack on Iran."

Jennifer Rubin's Obsession With An Israeli Attack On Iran

Saturday February 1, 2014

Neocon commissar, Jennifer Rubin, is one of the loudest voices in calling for Iran to be turned into a parking lot. She doesn’t put all her eggs (i.e., bombs) in one basket either. If the U.S. doesn’t take the lead in the destruction, she has a backup plan: the Israeli military. Watch her obsession unfold over time:

Hardcore Warmongers Beat Up On Samantha Power

Saturday January 25, 2014

There are neocon warmongers, and “humanitarian” warmongers. They’re virtually the same, with the “humanitarians” presenting a slightly different facade.

Hardcore neocon warmongers believe that the U.S. should be attacking at all times. No need to sugarcoat. America is “exceptional”, and that is justification enough for any and all war. “Humanitarian” warmongers provide a sugarcoat. America is “exceptional” in their eyes as well, but the “humanitarians” seek to apply a veneer of “morality” in order to justify U.S. aggression.

Obviously, U.S. aggression can never be “humanitarian” or “moral”. And it’s not even close to being lawful or constitutional. Neither the neocon nor the humanitarian warmongers pay any attention to the latter. So they are, in every important way, fellow travellers in the Empire’s quest to conquer the world.

Krauthammer Agrees with Paul on Obama’s NSA Reform Speech — Sort Of

Sunday January 19, 2014

Columnist Charles Krauthammer says he agrees with RPI Chairman and Founder Ron Paul  — "the ACLU and Ron Paul are right" — that President Barack Obama’s mass spying reform speech Friday is “90-percent smoke and mirrors and very little substantive change.” The catch is that Krauthammer, speaking in a Fox News panel, proceeds to explain that he approves the bamboozling, saying it is “what we need.”

Charles Krauthammer Demands Sincerity From A War President

Friday January 17, 2014

Neocon warmonger Charles Krauthammer is up in arms, furiously attacking President Obama’s sincerity in conducting the war in Afghanistan. Krauthammer starts by quoting the just released book from former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates:

By early 2011, writes former defense secretary Robert Gates, he had concluded that President Obama 'doesn’t believe in his own [Afghanistan] strategy, and doesn’t consider the war to be his.'

Of course, Krauthammer was not surprised by Gates’ revelation and Obama’s supposed weakness.

Wall Street Journal Peddles Foreign Policy Insanity

Thursday January 9, 2014

Why is it that the old saying regarding insanity and doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results is so rarely followed by the foreign policy establishment? Gerald Seib’s column in the Wall Street Journal this week does not touch upon the causes for the problems the United States faces in the Middle East. Rather than offering unique ideas, his column promises to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Figures such as Congressman Walter B. Jones hailing from North Carolina and Columnist George Will have, to varying degrees, reversed their opinions of the Middle East wars. Gerald Seib seems to have enough stick-to-itiveness to continue the banter for more incursions in the region. He began his recent WSJ article US Needs  A Role in the New Mideast with a bang by ignoring the causes (they always do) for the current upheaval and how our own actions have folded the United States into a territorial and religious war.

Jennifer Rubin: We Won The Iraq War!

Monday January 6, 2014

Reality never seems to phase neocon commissar, Jennifer Rubin. Last year marked 10 years since the dreaded US invasion of Iraq, and most of her fellow neocons had the sense to keep a low profile. Even they knew not to draw attention to such an abysmal failure.

But not Rubin! She was perplexed, and ready to deny reality like a good trooper. Why were her fellow gang members so reticent? ''Where are the Iraq War Defenders?' went the headline...

Michael Ledeen Wants The U.S. To Be "Omnipresent" and "Omnipotent" Again

Thursday January 2, 2014

According to Neocon Michael Ledeen, the U.S. had it all prior to the Obama years:

American hegemony wasn’t limited to military power, but encompassed the most basic components of the modern world, from Internet and its attendant gadgets and technologies (Microsoft, Apple, Google…) to movies, scholarship and literature. America was omnipresent and omnipotent.

Governments always fancy themselves as being “omnipresent” and “omnipotent”. Ledeen is obviously part of the gang who has had one-too-many sips of the kool-aid.

Let's Not Forget The Neocons Who Cheered The Egyptian Military Into Power

Saturday December 28, 2013

Earlier this year, the Egyptian military overthrew the democratically elected Mohammed Morsi. Much has happened since the initial violent crackdown on Morsi’s supporters. The Muslim Brotherhood, which has been around some 80 years, has been labeled a “terrorist organization” by the Egyptian government, and now even bloggers who speak out against the military are being jailed.

Plenty of neocons cheered the military coup from the sidelines when it occurred. With all of their flap about the U.S. ‘bringing democracy to the world’, this apparently was a case where a coup was necessary.

Jennifer Rubin's Gunboat Diplomacy

Thursday December 19, 2013

We can all be thankful that Obama doesn’t use neocon commissar Jennifer Rubin as one of his negotiators.

Rubin, who almost daily mentions that Israel should “act” (i.e., drop bombs on Iran) is fed up with US negotiations. This is how she sees it:

What Obama is doing is taking away the Hobson’s choice the West wants to present Iran: Give up your nuclear weapons or watch your economy and regime crumble.
