?The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy? Excerpted from The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by John J. Mearsheimer Stephen M. Walt ....This situation, which has no equal in American history, is due primarily to the activities of the Israel lobby. While other special interest groups-including ethnic lobbies representing Cuban Americans, Irish Americans, Armenian Americans, and Indian Americans-have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions that they favored, no ethnic lobby has diverted that policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest. The Israel lobby has successfully convinced many Americans that American and Israeli interests are essentially identical. In fact, they are not.
Snatched: Israeli commandos ?nuclear? raid ISRAELI commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit ? almost certainly dressed in Syrian uniforms ? made their way stealthily towards a secret military compound near Dayr az-Zawr in northern Syria. They were looking for proof that Syria and North Korea were collaborating on a nuclear programme. The point being here that Israeli commandos are quite capable of impersonating and mixing in with Arabs in that part of the world.
US feared N Korea-Syria link before Israeli strike Universities have larger nuclear programmes than Syria.?Most experts have suggested that Israel was much more likely to have targeted some a facility related tofor conventional weapons or missiles, over which North Korea and Syria have co-operated in the past.
Israel's Right of Self-Defense Raw foreign "intelligence," withheld from our zillion-dollar multi-agency intelligence community, chock-full of skilled professionals who evaluate satellite imagery for a living, stovepiped directly to the White House where "some" members of the Cheney Cabal ? proven neophytes when it comes to evaluation of satellite imagery of any industrial process ? have concluded the facility under construction could be used to produce material for nuclear weapons.

From 2004: No End to War By Patrick J. Buchanan Fear is what Perle and his co-author David Frum are peddling to stampede America into serial wars. Just such fear-mongering got us into Iraq, though, we have since discovered, Iraq had no hand in 9/11, no ties to al-Qaeda, no weapons of mass destruction, no nuclear program, and no plans to attack us. Iraq was never "the clear and present danger" the authors insist she was.....The neocons do not want to narrow our list of enemies. They do not want to confine America's war to those who attacked us. They want to expand our list of enemies to include Israel?s enemies...... if we allow the neoconservatives to morph our war on al-Qaeda into Israel's war for Palestine, our war will never end. And that is the hidden agenda of the neoconservatives: permanent war for their permanent empowerment......because Israel is a friend does not mean that the Sharonites have preemptive absolution to settle or seize Arab lands or permanently to deny Arab peoples the rights we preach to the world. In our own national interests, we must say so?in the clear......With the end of the Cold War, an alliance with Israel has ceased to be central to U.S. interests. Indeed, our reputation as armorers and allies of Israel only damages us as Sharon rampages through the West Bank and Gaza walling off Arab land and denying to Palestinians that very right of self-determination we Americans espouse. Sharon is making hypocrites of us, and we are cowards for permitting it. Powerful truth by the venerable Patrick J. Buchanan.
