a modern day Gomorrah, a city of rent boys and call girls.

We have a few issues to pick with Israel.

There is no way any loyal member of the United States military or veteran of its services is likely to "kiss and make up" with Israel until we receive an official apology for the attack on the USS Liberty. Even the "official" veterans organizations, generally a gutless bunch made up of the same spineless sycophants as congress, have spoken up on this one.

Our next issue is 9/11. We know Israel was involved in a major way though there is no way Israel alone could have ordered NORAD to ground its planes. We know members of all key committees in Congress were given a "top secret" briefing on 9/11 and told the following things:

* The World Trade Center was destroyed, not by planes but because of a "national security issue" in order to "save lives."

* The attack on the Pentagon was not the hijacked aircraft claimed but a different cause that is "classified."

* The subsequent attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq were necessary for the US to maintain control of energy resources to prevent economic collapse.

* Israel "assisted" the United States on 9/11 and may "appear" culpable but was not.

These things are childish lies, of course. The perverts, cowards and gullible rubes that make up congress, one of the most corrupt institutions on earth, were beaming with self importance, having been briefed on a great conspiracy. After all, many members of congress went to college, some to law school, and are much more deserving and certainly much more important than "normal people."

We call this condition "malignant narcissism."

We believe there is reasonable proof that the State of Israel was clearly involved in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attack on the United State as part of a conspiracy involving rogue members of our military and intelligence community working with a cabal within the executive branch that may not have included the President of the United States but, in all certainty, nearly everyone around him.

We are privately aware that top members of the Democratic Party are in total agreement with this assessment, a not-insignificant number along with a dozen or more members of the Republican Party.

None have spoken publicly though two in particular have come very close.

As for the others, we can accept some ignorance of 9/11 as direct ties to Israel have, though hard evidence is there, not been established in a court of law. That has been blocked with considerable energy and violence.

We can only accept that many members of congress are devoid of even the most common abilities to exercise judgement. Few Americans dispute this fact.

Hearing President Obama and Secretary Clinton speak, people we know to have great intellect but highly questionable personal courage, only reinforces the concept of "fog of delusion" that allows members of America's government to live in denial of rational truths, particularly when personal gain is involved.

Veterans Today's last issue with Congress is over the plight of the citizens of the region known as Israel or Palestine or Judea or "Greater Israel." The news has reports of "West Bank" or "East Jerusalem" housing issues and how upset the United States government "appears" to be from time to time over this issue.

Let us be clear what these issues are:

* People are being removed from their homes because of their religion, their property illegally seized and destroyed

* They are then relocated to areas surrounded by barbed wire, mines and armed guards. We call these places "concentration camps."

* In recent years, several thousand members of these relocated families have been killed, some by "accidental shooting" by IDF forces, some by cluster bombs, some by tanks and some crushed by bulldozers. By our estimation, there have been over 300,000 such accidents in total.

Last week, a majority of members of Congress, including the entire Republican Party, certified that these actions, technically "ethic cleansing," actions cited by the United Nations on dozens of occasions as violations of basic human rights, were "security issues" for Israel.

Congress voted funds to pay for these criminal acts. We have a problem with this also.

We know that every member of Congress is aware that military aid for Israel is only legal because the United States has vetoed sanctions against Israel using their power in the United Nations Security Council on dozens of occasions.

American weapons are being used to attack civilians in support of a program of ethnic cleansing more aggressive than that perpetrated by the apartheid regime in South Africa.

Those who support these policies in the American government are morally reprehensible. There is no question of doubt about this issue, the facts are in place and the appropriate human rights agencies are more than clear.

It is our belief that the members of Congress who continue to advocate military aid to Israel, the 5th most powerful nation on earth, the 3rd largest exporter of arms, a nation with no debt and massive wealth, whose citizenry control 40% of the worlds resources, while schools in America are being closed and millions are homeless, are criminals and are doing so because they have been bribed.
