Pardon My Politics

John LeBoutil­li­er, a for­mer U.S. Con­gress­man and a na­tion­al­ly-rec­og­nized po­lit­i­cal com­men­ta­tor, shares his predictions on Iran, President Obama, 2010 mid term elections, John McCain’s angst, Sarah Palin’s increased popularity, the rise of the Tea Party (along with the fall of the Republican Party), and more.

It looks like Barack Obama may really be worried about an imminent civil war.

According to the European Union Times, “Russian Military Analysts are reporting… that… Barack Obama has issued an order to his Northern Command’s top leader, US Air Force General Gene Renuart, to ‘begin immediately’ increasing his military forces to 1 million troops by January 30, 2010, in what these reports warn is an expected outbreak of civil war within the United States before the end of winter.”

Is the death of a Palestinian worth the same as that of a Jew? For six decades, Israeli Jewish leaders have been killing Palestinians and justifying their crimes as “self-defense” of Israel and all Jews. Absolving the Israeli regime of culpability of war crimes has always been a U.S.-Western ritual. The message is: Jews are above the law and killing Palestinians is Israelis’ right to commit war crimes.

As Pres­i­dent Oba­ma pon­ders whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, there is mount­ing ev­i­dence the Tal­iban is sup­port­ed by the CIA. If cor­rect, the Afghan war is a cha­rade with a hid­den agen­da.

It is of­ten said that the elec­tion of Barack Oba­ma boost­ed our im­age in the world: sud­den­ly, af­ter eight years of un­mit­i­gat­ed ha­tred di­rect­ed against George W. Bush’s Amer­i­ca, we’re pop­u­lar again. Yet it looks like Hillary is try­ing as hard as she can to un­do all that with her ill-?will tour. The wom­an is John Bolton in a dress.

Many are finding it disturbing that President Barack Obama initially gave the “all clear” signal to the Justice Department to investigate and seek criminal prosecutions against Bush Administration lawyers for the legal advice they gave relative to enhanced interrogation methods against terrorists in the aftermath of 9-11.

The situation is murky because it has also come to light that many members of Congress – from both parties – were briefed on these interrogations and voiced no opposition at the time of the briefing.
