In late June of this year, WSJ reported that Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, released information alleging the U.S. government was hacking Chinese targets "that include the nation's mobile-phone companies and one of the country's most prestigious universities." Now that EU offices have been hacked by the U.S. government as well, one must wonder if that was an "act of war" on the part of the United States.Deuce ☂http://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comBlogger54125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-13245291321027282212013-07-03T00:55:26.564-04:002013-07-03T00:55:26.564-04:00Through the connivance of British Imperialism, Ame...Through the connivance of British Imperialism, American Imperialism, Jewish Aggression, and General Electric, I was able to talk with my niece on the other side of the Earth for nearly an hour today.<br /><br />She is thinking of coming back here to continue on the Ph.D. She doesn't much like Germans though, or Moslems.<br /><br />bposAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76708325148271051002013-07-02T22:32:31.003-04:002013-07-02T22:32:31.003-04:0006/29/2005, Dick Cheney, Vice President

We are talking war not diplomacy.<br /><br /><i>Iran has declared war on us.</i><br /><br />So has Israel.<br /><br /><i>Israel hosts American service personal on leave and trains them as well as America trains Israelis.</i><br /><br />The U.S. has similar arrangements with other nations. They have nothing to do with actually being at war. The U.S. intelligence community considers Israel the biggest risk to the U.S. when it comes to spying. This does not mean we are at war with Israel.<br /><br />However, beyond those points you have convinced me of part of your argument. The part that says we are at war with Iran, not the part that says we have been at war since Carter's presidency. Reagan was providing Iran with weapons in the 80's as you might remember. Alliances can change quickly when it suits us.<br /><br /><i>We are at war with Iran. Israel is at war with Iran.</i><br /><br />True enough. When the UN refused to go along with the harsher sanctions proposed by the U.S. and we went alone, the U.S. committed an act of war against Iran. Using terrorism to kill another nations citizens is also an act of war.<br /><br /><i>Iran is at war with America and Israel...</i><br /><br />True enough, but in the same way the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey are all currently at war with Syria.<br /><br />. <br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-56658568328068611562013-07-02T15:49:49.156-04:002013-07-02T15:49:49.156-04:00.

Chaos in Middle East Grows as the U.S. Focuses ....<br /><br /><i>Chaos in Middle East Grows as the U.S. Focuses on Israel<br /><br />WASHINGTON — In Damascus, the Syrian government’s forces are digging in against rebels in a bloody civil war that is swiftly approaching the grim milestone of 100,000 dead. In Cairo, an angry tide of protesters again threatens an Egyptian president. <br /><br />Secretary of State John Kerry spent the weekend in Israel and the West Bank as protests rattled the Egyptian government and war raged in Syria. <br /><br />At the same time, in tranquil Tel Aviv, Secretary of State John Kerry wrapped up a busy round of shuttle diplomacy, laboring to revive a three-decade-old attempt at peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians. He insisted on Sunday that he had made “real progress.” <br /><br />The new secretary of state’s exertions — reminiscent of predecessors like Henry A. Kissinger and James A. Baker III — have been met with the usual mix of hope and skepticism. But with so much of the Middle East still convulsing from the effects of the Arab Spring, Mr. Kerry’s efforts raise questions about the Obama administration’s priorities at a time of renewed regional unrest. <br /><br />The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, once a stark symbol and source of grievance in the Arab world, is now almost a sideshow in a Middle East consumed by sectarian strife, economic misery and, in Egypt, a democratically elected leader fighting for legitimacy with many of his people. <br /><br />“The moment for this kind of diplomacy has passed,” said Robert Blecher, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Program of the International Crisis Group. “He’s working with actors who have acted in this movie before, and the script is built around the same elements. But the theater is new; the region is a completely different place today.”</i><br /><br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/world/middleeast/mideast-chaos-grows-as-us-focuses-on-israel.html?hp&_r=0<br /><br /><br />The bad part, Kerry and those allowing him to run wild in the ME haven't got a clue.<br /> <br />The good part, while he is running in circles with Israel and the PA, he is not causing any trouble in other parts of the ME.<br /><br />Thank god, for small favors.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37767415758938593782013-07-02T13:27:59.542-04:002013-07-02T13:27:59.542-04:00.
