OP-ED: "Our Enemies and the Election," by Gabriel Schoenfeld, Wall Street Journal, 10-11 May 2008, p.A11.
Straight from one of the Right's most transparent propagandists today:
There is a growing pro-Obama/anti-McCain axis.
Examples include Hamas, Putin, Chavez, Iran and North Korea.
Schoenfeld says FBI and DHS should be put on October alert for pro-Obama terror strike in U.S.
He also says it could backfire to McCain's advantage.
Feel prepared by this sort of transparent propaganda?
I mean, pre-blaming Obama and the Dems for a terror strike on Bush's watch and proposing it would harm McCain's prez bid.
How f--king stupid does this guy think Americans are?
Schoenfeld comes by it naturally though. Former Soviet expert.
Yikes! Imagine doing that for a living.
Naturally, Schoenfeld asserts that any uptick in violence in Iraq will be pro-Obama--another wonderfully preemptive attempt at blaming.
3k civilian deaths and 4-plus thousand military lost under Bush-Cheney and already Obama is being tagged with future casualties. Clearly, the axis of evil was pro-Bush!
Really, this crap is just sad. Is this the WSJ under Murdoch?
And with Bush pushing the Chamberlain-Hitler line in Israel, to McCain's obvious delight, we see the pre-rationalization for McCain's first promised war.
Not a vast right-wing conspiracy, just the same old, same old from the neocons, who do indeed promise endless war with zero grand strategy attached.

hala looya,let the truth speak for itself.i love it.the truth is the geni is
out of the bottle,and the more lies and war mongring deception the
Murdoch and the neocon's party pull, the more inspired and determined and aware the people become and realize how much these people idiolegy is against thier foundemental interest and against this country's interests.you can't fool the people all the time.
hopefully,we will see a sweeping change in presidential race,and also definetly in the midterm race,where republican will lose alot of
seats.I always beileved,2008 is going to be a year where America
will have drastic changes as a country and it's view of itself & toward
the world,politically and strageticlly.

They think that Americans are plenty stupid. The fear tactic will work one more time.

It looks as though Bush is giving the green light to Israel because his attempts to beat the war drums here in America failed. Republicans running for office in the fall have been pleading with the heavy hitters in the party to stop the war mongering coming from the White House. Stymied, Bush and Cheney seem to be encouraging Israel to use military action against Iran. I am suspicious of the talks between Israel and Syria. I hope it is not some deal where Syria agrees to remain on the sidelines when the airstrikes begin. Frankly, I am pretty tired of hearing the situation over there described as the "Mideast peace Process". They have been fighting with each other since 1948. I do not like seeing the United States dragged into that mess.
