Does it bother anyone else that the #2 and #3 people in the Defense Department are Jewish and seem to be more pro-Israeli than pro-American??
I just finished reading a lot of their article/columns and their entire political idealogy stems from protecting Israel, with what’s good for America being a non-factor. Fucking unbelievable. What the fuck happened to true Americans running America?? These guys grew up here but seem to put Israeli interests ahead of American interests.
It bothers you, Just-The-Facts, and Hitler.

And Colin Powell:
In Bob Woodward’s book, Plan of Attack, then Secretary of State Colin Powell called Feith’s operation at the Pentagon the “Gestapo” office because Powell believed it amounted to a separate, unchecked governing authority within the Pentagon.
And Gen. Tommy Franks:
United States Army General Tommy Franks, according to Bob Woodward’s 2004 Plan of Attack, described Feith as the “fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth”
And Gen. Anthony Zinni:
“In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption.”
Zinni is talking about a group of policymakers within the administration known as “the neo-conservatives” who saw the invasion of Iraq as a way to stabilize American interests in the region and strengthen the position of Israel. They include Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz; Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith; Former Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle; National Security Council member Eliot Abrams; and Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Zinni believes they are political ideologues who have hijacked American policy in Iraq.
“I think it’s the worst kept secret in Washington. That everybody - everybody I talk to in Washington has known and fully knows what their agenda was and what they were trying to do,” says Zinni.
“And one article, because I mentioned the neo-conservatives who describe themselves as neo-conservatives, I was called anti-Semitic. I mean, you know, unbelievable that that’s the kind of personal attacks that are run when you criticize a strategy and those who propose it. I certainly didn’t criticize who they were. I certainly don’t know what their ethnic religious backgrounds are. And I’m not interested.”
Adds Zinni: “I know what strategy they promoted. And openly. And for a number of years. And what they have convinced the president and the secretary to do. And I don’t believe there is any serious political leader, military leader, diplomat in Washington that doesn’t know where it came from.”
