US Admits Growing Doubts on Lebanon-Syria Scuds Allegations

Good news? It was later reported “after the war” that much of the information cited especially the infamous “mobile WMD lab trucks ” that Bush/Cheney with Colin Powell as a a credible facilitator at the UN and the neoconservatives in his administration along with *wink*wink” of our AIPAC directed Knesset aka Congress used as an excuse was supported largely on and by based from intelligence from Israel. What was the real point of invading Iraq (All the reasons sold were lies) other than to stop Saddam Hussein from paying desperate Palestinian families $25,000 to be suicide bombers. It almost brought Israel to her knees. (The Iraq war ended them and their wall wasn’t even close to being built so that Zio-excuse now used is nonsense) Who remembers the “Flying drones of death” , Scuds, tons of anthrax, etc. and the decades old rationalization and offereing that were used as we subsidized Israel so much with billions in loans , arms and aid because it said it was “still cheaper than having US troops in the Middle East” and other nonsenses. And now we pay and die for both…lucky us!

Countries don’t have allies, just interests”

And it might appear that this administration isn’t going to automatically follow the AIPAC/JINSA/PNAC neoconservative doctrine of lies to fight Israel’ wars and enemies and automatically take Israeli claims seriously that every one of their Arab neighbors just coincidentally” is a threat to the world” bullshit. It’s apparent Israel wants a war with Iran with the West paying and dying for it in the worst way. After all, Israel has been the greatest beneficiary of the so called Global War on Terror”. Hell they’ve never contributed or lost a single soldier and have recived additional billions in aid. I hope there’s a reversal of thinking here but that remains to be seen when your government bends and bows at every turn for Israel and to pander to disloyal pro-Israeli Zionist voters. Israel is IMO, an untrustworthy ally of all costs and no real benefits.

* Sounds like the same old change

US Admits Growing Doubts on Lebanon-Syria Scuds Allegations

By Jason Ditz On April 22, 2010

The threats against Syria over their alleged transfer of Scud missiles to Hezbollah continued fast and furious, but US officials are conceding tonight that they have growing doubts about the claim.

“We don’t think Scuds of any shape or size have been moved to Lebanon,” noted one official. The US has been publicly lashing Syria about the transfers all week, despite lacking evidence to support them.

The Israeli government initially made the allegations last week, but didn’t offer anything other than a vague assertion. Syria and Lebanon have both denied the transfer. Israeli officials have been openly talking about invading southern Lebanon for months, and Syria warned it was possibly an Israeli pretext for an attack.

The US is still talking about improviding ties with Syria, but it remains to be seen how much damage the State Department has done in summoning envoys and condemning them all week based on such a flimsy allegation.
