Hillary Clinton Changes Tune on Iraq


By Kurt Nimmo

"In other words, Clinton expects us to believe, if she simply had the right mix of information, she would have voted against Bush’s invasion and occupation resolution that streaked through Congress in September, 2002. Of course, as a puppet of the Israeli lobby, this would not have cut the mustard, as Hillary, above all else, wants to remain in Congress and covets the Oval Office, with Bill as the First Husband, dread the thought. In fact, Clinton apparently counts on the persistent severity of public amnesia, for it was less than a year ago she said, “I believe that standing up against someone as dangerous as Saddam was a good goal,” never mind he posed absolutely no threat to the United States and the easily bamboozled people of the state of New York.

In regard to Iran, Hillary went straight to her masters, the Jabotinsky maniacs who influence Congress and indeed the White House, thanks to the neocon cabal. “I held a series of meetings with Israeli officials [last summer], including the prime minister and the foreign minister and the head of the [Israeli Defense Force] to discuss such challenges we confront,” Clinton declared in a Hanukkah dinner speech delivered last December. “In each of these meetings, we talked at length about the dire threat posed by the potential of a nuclear-armed Iran, not only to Israel, but also to Europe and Russia. Just this week, the new president of Iran made further outrageous comments that attacked Israel’s right to exist that are simply beyond the pale of international discourse and acceptability. During my meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, I was reminded vividly of the threats that Israel faces every hour of every day … It became even more clear how important it is for the United States to stand with Israel” (see Joshua Frank, Hillary Clinton, AIPAC and Iran).

But never mind, the problem is Ahmadinejad bad-mouthed Israel, mostly over the nation’s treatment of the Palestinians, and suggested a future when the state of Israel has exited the stage of world history for something more equitable for the people of Palestine and the region. As we know, Ahmadinejad never demanded Israel be “wiped off the map” and this was in fact a deliberate mistranslation on the part of the Middle East Media Research Institute, a vile racket founded by the Israeli Meyrav Wurmser (wife of scurrilous neocon David Wurmser, who replaced Eric Edelman as Principal Deputy Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs in the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney) and Yigal Carmon, who “served” in IDF intelligence and is a former terrorism (or anti-Palestinian nationalism) adviser to Rabin and former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir. In short, the mistranslation of Ahmadinejad is another neocon dirty trick, but then, as with Iraq, this should be considered wholly predictable behavior.

If New Yorkers re-elect Clinton, they will be getting an ever increasing dose of neocon lite politics, the only viable stance in Washington these days, as most Democrats are neocon lite, minus the dour if mildly comical born-again rapture Christians who back Israel, no matter what the little renegade state, run by racist settlers and Jabotinskyite nut cases, do to the Palestinians, or for that matter the Lebanese and, if they have their way, millions of Iranians.

Of course, Clinton and the “progressive” Democrats, that is to say they throw in a few toaster bottom crumbs on social issues, such as abortion, are also beholden to Israel, not through blissed out rapture Christians, but the “liberal” Jewish constituency, as exemplified by AIPAC and other pro-Israel organizations."
