America’s ‘Israel-First’ administration is spending US$12 billion per month on its phony `war against global terror’. It has spent $610 billion dollars since 2001 on its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, making them the second most expensive conflict in US history after World War II.
Last week, US Homeland Security Czar Michael Chertoff (a dual Israeli citizen) admitted that he had a `gut feel’ that an al-Qaida attack on America was imminent this summer. At the same time, Washington was abuzz with a leaked US intelligence report that al-Qaida – the objective of the so-called war on terror – had reconstituted and was as strong as prior to September 11, 2001.
America’s sixteen intelligence agencies spend $40 billion annually, with another $15-20 billion in their hidden `black budgets.’ Homeland Security spends $44.6 billion. In spite of these gargantuan expenditures of a trillion dollars – the best intelligence Zionist Cheroff can come up with is `gut feel?’
After six years of conflict, 3,600 dead and 25,000 wounded American soldiers, expenditure of $610 billion, tens of thousands of dead Iraqis and Afghans, collapse of Mideast peace efforts, and a Muslim World enraged against the US, nothing positive seems to have been accomplished by a leader who likes to style himself, `the war president.’
As the White House now ponders an attack on Iran, we would do well to recall the famed words of King Pyrrhus of Epirus, `one more such victory and we are ruined.’
