THE NEOCONS ARE IN A PANIC!
This piece in the New York Times by Edward Luttwak is a classic piece of
racist neocon
propaganda that demonstrates how close the neocons are to being in a state
of blind panic over
the likely outcome of the up-coming Presidential election.
Increasingly, as it seems more and more likely that Hilary Clinton is not
going to get up with
the Democrat nomination, the neocons have been concentrating massive
amounts of their
propaganda energies in trying to deride Barack Obama rather than in trying
to promote their
man, John McCain, signifying that even the neocons are starting to think
that McCain is a lost
cause.
Luttwak attempts to paint Obama with what Luttwak thinks is the kiss of
death in US
Presidential politics; connections to Islam – despite Obama having no
connections to Islam.
Luttwak’s attempt is transparent. Perhaps the attention of Americans
should be turned to
Luttwak himself rather than Obama.
Perhaps if readers knew that Edward Luttwak is, and has been for years, a
committed
neoconservative, warmonger itching to get the US to bomb Iran, and ultra
right-wing Zionist
whose interests and loyalties are focussed more toward Israel than they
are to America, then
they might read Luttwak’s comments about Obama from an entirely different
perspective; one
which emphasises Luttwak’s own agenda rather than what he’s trying to con
the American people
into thinking about Obama’s non-existent ulterior motives.
Meanwhile, over at the neocon comic Weekly Standard, anti-Obama propaganda
has reached fever
pitch. Neocon writer Stanley Kurtz pens a hit piece that tries to show
Obama up as someone who
knew exactly what Preacher Wright’s views were. Kurtz desperately and
presumptuously writes:
“Barack Obama must have long been aware of his pastor's political
radicalism,” and; “It seems
inconceivable that, in 20 years, Obama would never have picked up a copy
of Trumpet.” Kurtz’s
ravings are purely guesswork and have no foundation whatsoever.
Neocons are getting desperate. They know they are about to lose their grip
on power – and with
their powerbase gone, Israeli influence over the Middle East diminishes
substantially.
Something is going to have to give. Let’s hope that sanity will prevail.
