Now that the greatest strategic disaster in American military history is an accomplished fact, its architects are distancing themselves from their handiwork. For the past year or two, we have been treated to the spectacle of what might be called neoconservative panic syndrome – the cabal that lied us into war is frightened to death of being held responsible for the catastrophe.Their catastrophe.

Are Cheney And His London Backers Pushing Broader War In Southwest Asia?
Posted by seumasach on January 15, 2009
Jan. 10, 2009 (LPAC)–Lyndon LaRouche today issued the following strategic assessment, based on recent discussions with sources in Washington and in Southwest Asia.
“Based on a series of recent reports, it is our assessment that Vice President Dick Cheney, with backing from London, is pressing for a broader confrontation in Southwest Asia, that would extend the already ongoing, disastrous Gaza incursion, into a multi-front war, engulfing Lebanon, Syria and Iran. This effort, which has reached a critical threshold in the past 48 hours, is part of the same London-directed global showdown that we see with the recent Ukrainian actions, aimed at creating a major European wide energy and security crisis, that could lead to a new Eurasian war.

Ahmadinejad: Israelis should pour into streets
Posted by seumasach on January 15, 2009
Iran calls on Israelis to take to the streets in protest at the war on Gaza, saying soldiers should also refrain from following orders.
“I call on all those who live in the occupied territories, including Jews, Christians and Muslims to pour into the streets,” said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a Thursday message.
He added that Israelis should show their support for the Palestinian nation by joining the world in demonstrating against the crimes committed by Tel Aviv.
“To the people who live under Israeli repression in the occupied territories, you are human beings no matter your religion, race for faith. It is time that you ponder and ask the leaders of the Zionist regime why it is that the people of Gaza are being treated in this way,” said the Iranian president.
Nearly 1,100 Palestinians — many of whom are women and children — have been killed and 4,700 have been wounded since Israel launched its offensive against the Palestinian territory on December 27.
“Why is it that the people of Lebanon have to be treated in this way? Why are they carrying out a massacre? Why are they treating people, who are dear to God, in this way? Why are they killing children and blowing them to pieces?” he added.
Ahmadinejad also urged Israeli soldiers to disobey their commanders when ordered to fire upon the women and children of Gaza.
“Ask yourself why you have to kill women and children and innocent civilians? It is time that you protest over orders given by your commanders. Disobey their orders to massacre and refrain from killing innocent civilians,” he added.
Ahmadinejad urged protests to continue until “the thoughts that fuel disrespect, abuse and racism dry up”.
Since the beginning of the Gaza onslaught, Israel has targeted schools, hospitals, UN relief centers, journalists, media offices, mosques and relief workers, drawing condemnation from international organizations and aid agencies, such as Human Rights Watch, the Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Despite intensifying its military campaign and mobilizing its forces closer to the heart of Gaza, Israel has failed to break the resistance.
On Thursday, Israeli tanks and troops advanced to within 2 km of Gaza City, where they were met with fierce resistance by Palestinian fighters.
Palestinian fighters hit two Israeli tanks with RPG shells, Hamas affiliated al-Manar reported. Since yesterday 33 Israeli soldiers have been wounded during the fighting.
The Palestinians who have the upper hand in knowing the battleground are preventing Israel’s military troops and convoys from advancing further.
