Obama's choices reflect the direction his Administration will take in the Middle East.

No one should retain any illusions about who or what Barack Obama is or what he stands for.

His very first choice--the choice of who will set his schedule and be a doorkeeper--was the son of a Zionist terrorist. (1)

My friends tell me to "Wait."

Wait and see... That's what southern segregationists told those uppity blacks to keep them from following that Pied Piper of freedom and justice, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

And while we all know how successful THEY ultimately were, a lot of those blacks paid with their lives for the evil system before it was finally (somewhat) overturned.

Likewise, Palestinians (and other Arabs; let's not leave out the Syrians, the Iraqis or the Afghanis) are paying and will continue to pay with their lives if we don't confront our state of denial and realize that what Washington and Israel have been planning for YEARS, is

GENOCIDE OF THE MUSLIM PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

Does anybody seriously think that Israel used depleted uranium in Lebanon simply because the US had a lot of waste left over from reactors, so it was shipped (flown, actually) to a disposal site on the eastern Mediterranean?

C'mon. The US and Israel are using depleted uranium, which is truly "the gift that keeps on giving" in order to PERMANENTLY rid the Middle East of those nasty human beings who think they have rights and all that good stuff.

Rahm Emanuel, and all the others Obama brings with him, people like Dennis Ross, who is now at " the distinctly Zionist Washington Institute for New East Policy "(2), are there for one reason and one reason only, and that is to make sure that Israel's genocidal policies towards Arabs get carried out.

And if any of those Arabs here in the US get uppity and think that because they live here in "the bastion of democracy" that they have rights, too, there is a surprise waiting for them because Israel's very own man, Joe Lieberman, was today allowed to keep his gavel--in spite of his treachery in supporting McCain--as head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where he can carry out the mission along with his pals in the Executive Branch like Michael Chertoff.

The War Party in America doesn't mind traitors as long as they can control where our tax money goes, and who will get sent to FEMA camps.

And anyone who doesn't think that what happened in Nazi Germany was so horrible it can never happen again should look right now to Gaza.
