 righthand says: Bill Christison was a senior official of the CIA. He served as a National Intelligence Officer and as Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis. kathy.bill.christison@comcast.net. Your title in this clip is incorrect. The article you quote words it thusly: Why the US and Israel Should Lose Middle East Wars More wishful thinking on your part. Be careful what you wish for. [url=http://www.counterpunch.org/christison08272007.html]..the United States and Israel will inevitably lose these wars over time in any case. If this loss is in fact inevitable, conventional wisdom would argue that it is better for the loss to happen rapidly in order to hold casualties down. In a continuing civil war over which outsiders have limited control, however, conventional wisdom may not apply. Nevertheless, a truly rapid -- meaning within the next six months -- acceptance of defeat by the U.S. and Israel of their own Mideast policies would probably offer the only possibility of mitigating the blame assigned to these two nations by the rest of the world for future mas... Yes, perhaps they Should lose the war, after all it was mobilized on lies and fabricated reasons. More likely, though, is the invasion of Iran, unless Bush can be impeached and/or a massive recall of politicians begun. It Would Be Nice if a peaceful disengagement could be arranged and the "lion would lie down with the lamb," but the history of all nations would cast doubt on this possibility, although there are examples. Meanwhile, I'd stay out of the way of the military-industrial-zionist bulldozer, work for change one-step at a time with proposal for real actions that change leadership, and not expect wolves to show mercy or care much about what lambs think. Yeah I read that tripe and this sentence is the crux of the whole yarn- Like I said, wishful thinking. Good luck with that. Einstein said "thinking is not genius, and wishing does make it so". Maybe you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. as mine are on the mark. @ Napster the real Einstein said "thinking is not genius, and wishing does make it so". Maybe you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. as mine are on the mark.Einstein said "thinking is not genius, and wishing does make it so". Did he really? Perhaps you might provide a source, if you can? It would not be that other Einsteinian that you practice so well ... “If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.” or maybe another one that you have difficulty with... “Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” or even this one especiall... Ha ha ha ha.  While we can argue semantics til the proverbial cows come home. the problem we are faced with is that once Bush leaves office, there is very little chance that the neo-Cons will ever achieve their agenda. Their only chance is while Bush/Cheney are still in charge. I would not be surprised to see Israel via Joe Lieberman and AIPAC push for war with Iran and regime change in Syria. One of the best articles on the subject I've seen. Follow the link and read the whole thing. Again, righthand, you rule!
