Joe Sestak Would Die for Israel

1. So, you think this isn’t a country run by a bunch of  traitors and cowards?  Then you are as stupid as those dumb ass “conservatives” who voted for Scott Brown and even stupider than Shas Party members. Here is an example:

This guy is a former 3 star Admiral in the United States Navy in which he served for over 30 years. No doubt USS Liberty survivors would find that fact interesting.  He commanded the USS George (no foreign entanglements) Washington aircraft carrier battle group in 2002 which was in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.  He was on the National Security Council  under President blow job. And after 911 he got another cool job in the Navy.

He’s retired from the Navy now and is continuing his long history of service to, well, we’ll see to whom, by getting elected to Congress in 2006. He’s had quite an impact being described as the most productive freshman congressman due to bills he sponsored and helped get passed. In fact, those bills he worked on look pretty good to me.

He kicked the shit out of an Israeli firster in primary elections for a run at the US Senate and he may become a Senator in the fall. Even his supporters didn’t want him to run in the primary because they figured he’d lose and then would be out of Congress altogether.  Besides he was running against a Jew and an complete Israeli firster and everyone figured he’d lose. He was essentially offered a bribe by Obama to pull out of the race. He stayed in and he beat the Jewish Israeli firster in the primary.

He works his ass off and the asses of his staffers as well, as a result he’s got a pretty high burnout rate among is employees.  You get your money’s worth out of this guy.

He also, along with the Jewish governor of his state, had the balls to actually speak to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

So he’s fucked.

He  kicks the shit out of Senator (and I use that term very loosely) Arlen Specter for the Demokleptomaniac nomination for the Senate race in Pennsylvania (state motto: we supply enriched uranium to Israel), he meets with CAIR, hires a person from CAIR to be on his burned out staff, and even worse he signs “a letter criticizing Israel’s blockade of Gaza while not signing a defense of Israel circulated by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.”

So this guy has got to go. And he will.  He has been targeted by William Kristol’s new and traitorous organization called “The Emergency Committee for Israel” which Kristol defines as “. . .the pro-Israel wing of the pro-Israel community.”

Now you’d think a graduate of the Naval Academy, who is also the son of  a guy who graduated from the Naval Academy, who served over 30 years in the Navy, who took on Arlen Specter against all odds and kicked his ass, who had the balls not to sign AIPAC Zionist Bullshit declarations “defending” Israel, you’d think a guy like that would stand up for himself when faced with an ad-campaign by Kristol’s cretins.

Well, and I am sure no USS Liberty survivor would ever be surprised by this, Representative Joe Sestak (Likud, PA) who is running against neo-con clone Pat Toomey and who has been described by a thinker at the (Zionist controlled) Brookings Institution as ” exactly the kind of person the Democratic Party should be delighted and proud to have running for Senate”, has has come out strong, openly declaring:

“I would have put my life on the line any day gladly for Israel, as I did for America,”

Of course, since he’s out of the military, he won’t have to, but it looks like he’ll now vote to put your life on the line for Israel.

This is why Phil Tourney wrote “I learned an invaluable lesson about how things work in the US Navy, which is that all commissioned officers – of whatever rank - will throw you under the bus if it means something good will come their way by doing so.”

Joe Sestak has just thrown us all under the bus proving indeed that he is “exactly the kind of person” who should be running for public office.

The Jewish Exponent reports:

The retired Naval admiral and former air craft carrier commander said that during joint military exercises with Israel, he had been prepared to “lay my life on the line” for Israel, had it been attacked by its enemies during his tour

Since when does US military service require laying one’s life down for a foreign country?  Some might argue since November 22, 1963, but I digress. Oh, you don’t remember that day? That was the day that one bullet “traversed 15 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, and approximately 15 inches of tissue, struck a necktie knot, removed 4 inches of rib, and shattered a radius bone.” The bullet did all this while sustaining almost no damage.  Senator Arlen “I got my ass kicked by Joe Sestak” Specter is the guy credited for coming up with this idea when he was working for the Warren Commission. Digression ends here.

It turns out that Sestak is a J-Street guy and that he  has some strong Jewish support as the Exponent article linked to above makes clear.

So, in this critical Senate race, we have the Republican who talks like William Kristol on one side, and on the other, we have a guy who says he would die for Israel. This is called freedom of choice.

When will anyone stand up to these people?

2. Readers of this site know that from the start I have been saying that the “peace process” is obviously a complete total charade designed to deceive Americans, something that’s actually pretty easy to do. Now that Bibi Bibi Netanyahu has come out bragging about how this is exactly the situation, Americans have no excuse whatsoever to put up with anyone who advocates this charade.  Furthermore, we need to stop voting for anyone who supports Israel and must not tolerate “elections” between candidates both of whom are strongly supported by Israeli interests – just as Sestak and Toomey are.

In fact, even Netanyahu says that American support for Israel is “absurd” so I guess he agrees with me.

“America is something that can be easily moved. Moved to the right direction … They won’t get in our way … Eighty per cent of the Americans support us. It’s absurd.”

Bibi said some pretty cool shit. For example:

“Because at that moment I actually stopped the Oslo accord.”  Yes, he did. Click on the link above to read how.

I like this one too. It’s about how cool it is to attack the Palestinians, Israel’s national sport, as I have pointed out in the past.

“The main thing, first of all, is to hit them. Not just one hit, so many painful its that the price will be to heavy to be borne. The price is not too heavy to be borne, now. A broad attack on the Palestinian Authority. To bring them to the point of being afraid that everything is collapsing.”

Did you know that the “entire Jordan valley is a military zone” so Bibi won’t give any of it up?

Enough talk about the peace process, two state solutions, and J-Street vs. AIPAC and Kristol’s version of MS13.

3. Did I mention that Sestak is an obvious war monger against Iran?  How about that he has been to Israel 8 times and that he is “a staunch supporter of Israel”? Just wanted to let you know.

4. Here’s a nice video for RoHa. It features a traditionally clad group of Arab men dancing and the beat is great. Sometimes the men are a little hard to see because they are dancing behind some female singer or something.

Is This a Great Country or What?

1. You know that the world is soon to come to an end when Dana Milbank of the Jerusalem Washington New York Times Post writes like Mantiq al-Tayr. Am I doing something wrong? Is he jealous of my fame and fortune? Or is he just another Israeli firster taking a pot shot at Israeli Vice President for American Affairs (IVPFAA) Barack Obama,  just this time from a different angle?

Good grief, look at these quotes from his article about the IVPFAA’s public humiliation this week when his boss, Bibi Bibi Netanyahu, took him out to the white phosphorus shed and laid it on thick.

“A blue-and-white Israeli flag hung from Blair House. Across Pennsylvania Avenue, the Stars and Stripes was in its usual place atop the White House. But to capture the real significance of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit with President Obama, White House officials might have instead flown the white flag of surrender.”

That’s pretty good, no?  But it gets better:

“So on Tuesday, Obama, routed and humiliated by his Israeli counterpart, invited Netanyahu back to the White House for what might be called the Oil of Olay Summit: It was all about saving face.”

And no doubt after the cum-shot in the woodshed, Obama had to really wipe his face clean, but I digress.  Back to DM.

Here’s my favorite quote:

“He performed the Full Monty of pro-Israel pandering: “The bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable” . . . “I commended Prime Minister Netanyahu” . . . “Our two countries are working cooperatively” . . . “unwavering in our commitment” . . . “our relationship has broadened” . . . “continuing to improve” . . . “We are committed to that special bond, and we are going to do what’s required to back that up.”

“The Full Monty” – man that’s quite Mantiqiyyan. The kind of stuff that Mrs. Mantiq gives me shit for saying. And this is in the JEWNYTP of all places.

I think what is going on here is that Milbank, who basically denies the influence of the Israeli lobby and this should tell you everything you need to know about him, is using JEWNYPT to laugh out loud at Obama and all the complete idiots who supported this cowardly accomplishmentless cretin. Read between the lines folks – the Zionists are rubbing your noses in it. You are all just like Obama – kind of gives a new twist to “Black like me.”

2. I sure am glad that Octavia Nasr got fired from CNN and that Helen Thomas got booted out of the White House. I mean, look what Ms. Nasr said:

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right upfront with you, I like brawling.”

How could anyone hold a position of public trust with views like that?

Oh, wait. The tuyuur, always looking over my shoulder and fact checking everything I write, are now telling me that Ms. Nasr didn’t say that. What she really said was something about how the recently deceased Shi’ite cleric Fadlallah didn’t totally suck Netanyahu’s dick, or something like that. (Maybe Obama could take a cue from him?, but I digress.) Anyway, the tuyuur here are telling me that the quote here is from General James Mattis who was a three-star general when he said this. He was swiftly punished for what he said and soon was no longer a three-star general. Yup, they made him a four-star general. And he is now the head of CENTCOM replacing neo-con warrior and recent host of, and I am not making this up,  Elie Wiesel, General David Petraeus.  So the head of CENTCOM loves to kill people in general and Muslims in particular and the guy running the war in Afghanistan is a Zionist stooge who seems to have presidential aspirations.

Is this a great country or what?

3. Back to DM for a moment. Did I mention Helen Thomas? DM jumped all over her too. In fact, on June 8th, 2010, JEWNYPT wrote a huge piece commemorating Israeli’s premeditated attack on the USS Liberty and demanded a full inquiry into the event.  Oh shit, wait a second, the tuyuur are chirping like there’s no sabbath or something. Oh, I see, I’m sorry, they are correct yet again: I meant to write that on June 8th, 2010, JEWNYPT made no mention whatsoever of the 43rd anniversary of the murderous attack on the USS Liberty, but it did have THREE articles celebrating Helen Thomas’ getting the boot from Bibi’s vacation home, the White House. Yup, three articles.

One by Dana Milbank. One by Howard Kurtz. One by Richard Cohen.  I mean, is this a great country or what?

In Milbank’s piece he makes a revealing statement:

“A few months ago, White House reporters settled on a system for preserving the sanctity of Helen Thomas’s front-row-center seat in the briefing room. On those frequent occasions when the 89-year-old legend didn’t show up for a briefing — a pardonable event for somebody who has done the job for 50 years — reporters from other outlets would take turns occupying the seat to deny the prominent perch to less-reputable characters in the room.”

That is, to deny someone who may not be a complete suck up a chance to ask a real question like “President Obama, how many nuclear weapons does Israel have?” (As far as I know, Helen Thomas didn’t even go that far.)

Dana doesn’t like it when “less-reputable” people get a chance to speak.

4. One of those “less-reputable” people is, apparently, Nico Pitney of the quite boring and trite Huffington Post. Pitney actually got chosen to ask a question by Obama at a recent press conference and posed one that he says came from an Iranian in Iran. It was a perfectly neo-con question but Milbank went ballistic about it, claiming, not without some justification, that there had been some collusion between Pitney and the White House regarding Pitney’s getting called on to ask Obama a question. Let me digress for a second. Don’t these White House reporters sound like a bunch of self-centered egotistical children? Anyway – So,  Pitney, DM, and the utterly ridiculous Amanda Carpenter appeared on Howard Kurtz’s CNN show (Kurtz does get around, doesn’t  he?) to talk about it.  And unfortunately, they do talk about it.  Go here to watch this video of these clowns, and bring your barf bags, big ones. With these kinds of people representing us at the White House, it’s no wonder that Americans are so clueless and ignorant.

Oh, Pitney makes a rather interesting statement. He says that DM called him a name. Here’s what Pitney writes:

“The only thing that surprised me was when Dana turned to me after our initial sparring and called me a “dick” in a whispered tone (the specific phrase was, I believe, “You’re such a dick”).” I almost titled this piece with that quote. Mrs. Mantiq would have gone berserk.

5. Since CENTCOM’s Area of Responsibility (AOR) includes only Muslim- majority nations, and many that are Arab, maybe you all could help celebrate Mattis’ getting the new gig by sending him t-shirts like the ones that Israeli soldiers like to wear that talk about about how cool it is to kill Arabs.

At this link you can see a picture of a couple of the shirts and also see the wording that is put on many others. Some of the wording seems most appropriate, for example:

- “In 2006, soldiers from the “Carmon Team” course for elite-unit marksmen printed a shirt with a drawing of a knife-wielding Palestinian in the crosshairs of a gun sight, and the slogan, “You’ve got to run fast, run fast, run fast, before it’s all over.” Below is a drawing of Arab women weeping over a grave and the words: “And afterward they cry, and afterward they cry.” [The inscriptions are riffs on a popular song.]“

- “Let every Arab mother know that her son’s fate is in my hands!” had previously been banned for use on another infantry unit’s shirt. A Givati soldier said this week, however, that at the end of last year, his platoon printed up dozens of shirts, fleece jackets and pants bearing this slogan.”

And of course, there’s that great family favorite:

- “A sharpshooter’s T-shirt from the Givati Brigade’s Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull’s-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, “1 shot, 2 kills.”

6. Thanks to the Huffington Post (did I mention that it is trite and boring?), all of the tuyuur here at Mantiq al-Tayr are routing for the Netherlands to win the world cup. But  not me, Ms. Mantiq, not me.

7. Obama has gutted NASA’s funding.

Was this a great country or what?

8. Okay, it’s entertainment video time. Two videos.

The first one is the “You Sexy Thing” scene from “The Full Monty.” Worth watching – and for sure the Mantiqiyyaat will like it. Music starts at the half-point, or thereabouts.

And like so many mothers the world over, Sometimes We Cry.

9. Okay, okay. It’s been quite some time since we posted a stupid cat video. In honor of Amanda Carpenter:

The Mermaid’s Lament

1. As I again prepare to leave town for another trip, this one an escape from هموم الدنيا as we say in Arabic, I regret not being able to blog as I was before – there is so much I’d love to rant about.  I hope you all enjoy the war with Iran, it might even start before I get back to blogging regularly.

2. Before I finish packing, I leave something for all you Arabists out there. It is the entire content of of a recent post on the Mermaid’s Sea blog – we are mutual fans though we have never met and most likely never will.  I take it as a lamentation for Khalid Said, now known as شهيد الطوارئ .  If any of you Arabists out there would like to post a poetic English translation in the comments section so those مستضعفين في الارض who do not know Arabic can appreciate it, please do. It would be nice to see more than one rendering so folks can compare.

Here is the Mermaid’s Lament:

يا من أظهر الجميل وستر القبيح، يا من لا يؤاخذ بالجريرة ولا يهتك الستر، يا حسن التجاوز، يا واسع المغفرة، ويا باسط اليدين بالرحمة، يا صاحب كل نجوى، ويا منتهى كل شكوى، يا كريم الصفح، يا عظيم المن، يا مبتدأ النعم قبل استحقاقها، يا ربنا وسيدنا ومولانا، ويا غاية رغبتنا

!  اعفو والستر وارحم يا رب

3. No doubt some of you will find that these lines have a ring of familiarity.  You can find some of these in a prayer said upon the completion of the recitation of the Quran. Here is the Arabic script of the prayer.  Here is a link to Shaykh al-Afasy’s webite were you can download it and also his actual Quran recitations. And to make it easy for you, here is the link to the  file by the Shaykh himself.

4. Somehow, the opening couplet from Rumi’s Masnavi seems appropriate here for كل خالد سعيد  and every Rachel Corrie and every Iman al-Hams.
