Could the timing had been any better for releasing the spy story ?

[kentuck]

Everybody talking about the Swift Boat vets lies and their sliming of John Kerry, it's a Friday, and the Repub National Convention starts this weekend. Hey! Let's release the spy in the Pentagon story! We'll say it was a mid level office worker.... Smart, huh? :mad:

1. It actually is a major story, and I see them already putting it

on the back burner

[Zen Democrat]

2. There's not much to say until somebody's arrested. Next week, maybe.

n/t

7. don't let this story get buried

start speading the news

[papau]

3. and spy means he talked to friend of Israel - who he worked for?

So allies should not know our policy in their area?

Or they should learn of policy only late - via State Dept?

Looks like someone decided anti-jewish vote larger than jewish vote.

5. IZionists are criminals and Israel is no ally

It's a racist apartheid state that spreads hatred and brought us 9/11. Jonathan Pollard received a life sentence and so should the traitor in the Pentagon.

8. Israel caused 9/11 ?

Is that your final answer?

11. US support for Israel is the source of US conflict w/ the Muslim world's

Only Zionists deny it.

13. Silly me

I just didn't know the terrorists had democrats making excuses for their attacks on innocent people. I'm sure the terrorists appreciate that their efforts are validated by a major political party.

19. You are right. Zionist terrorists have democrats making excuses for them

Israeli influence on both parties, in the White House, Congress, Pentagon, CIA, State Department and media has been a problem for a long time. 9/11 was the inevitable result of US fealty to Israel and a natural reaction to US support for Zionist terrorism.

17. "Brought us 9/11"

Not "caused 9/11". Are we wearing our Freeper hearing aid today?

[shadu]

10. WTF are you talking about?

We need to out all spies -
be they Russians, Chinese, or Jews.
Out them and put them to death.

14. Fellow talked to DC lobbyist - but much higher folks also talk to

lobbyist.

Either this is a Rove vote count decision

or it is a war withing Administration - someone trying to take down the neo-cons.

Spying is a good word to use to get an emotional response - but Israel is not about to do anything without our permission.

12. Why is being against Zionism equated with anti-semitism?

They are separate issues. Plenty of Jews were against the Zionist movement at the turn of the 20th Century when it began to gain momentum. Rabbi Lilienthal wrote a book, What Price Israel? back in the 50s that very presciently described the problems we would experience in the future due to the creation of Israel by force.

There are still many Jews around the world who do not believe in Zionism. Are they anti-semitic? This smacks of the current administration's logic: If you don't agree with everything we say and do, you are a traitor.

I happen to believe that the existence of Israel, if governed through democracy, diplomacy and the rule of law, can be a force for good in the Middle East. Yet there are many who disagree as is their right. If they don't have a problem with the Jewish religion or those who practice Judaism, where's the anti-semitism?

[papau]

15. I agree - "Jewish vote" was not shorthand for those in favor of Zionism

peace

:-)

16. You got it

Peace back at ya :hug:

4. Both stories are going to cast a shadow over the convention

If they'd come out next week, they'd have gotten no coverage at all. I'm not complaining.

P.S. Is anyone still scoffing at the idea that James McGreevey's blackmaing gay ex-lover might have been an undercover Mossad agent?

6. Wrong tree. This could be a disaster for them, could

mar the entire convention. I think the story was leaked by enemies of the WH.

20. An Israeli spying on the US is like a kid going through the closets...
