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.

Do you think it is a coincidence that Luttwak is a Zionist?
The only candidate that the CFR, and the Bilderbergers is afraid of is Ron Paul.
The rest work for Israel.
You are dreaming. Both Obama and Cliton have already said they wll work to "protect" israel. Obama has said he wont talk to Hamas and will ignore them while Cliton said she will waste Iran if it dares to attack Israel.
When will you people FINALLY realize BOTH parties are one and the same? Guess never, how sad.
They can always find work in the US Army, on assignment to Iraq. Not many have apparently chosen this route? If it was so important, why did they not volunteer in comparable numbers?
Please. Anybody who thinks that anything concerning the big picture is going change after this phony election, regardless of whether the Gambinos or Genoveses get into the Oral Orifice, is f***ing stupid enough to think that patio furniture is an Irishman.
I would not reach the conclusion that Obama is the Dem choice until after the West Virginia and Kentucky primaries. More than any other states, these two are Clinton country (well, at least as far as the polls are concerned...and have "white working class" written all over them). From someone who really is concerned that Hillary might still see another shot at President, perhaps even more than you are, I would not get too excited about Obama actually trying to make things more equitable for the Palestinians. Funny how Hillary joins neocon with neolib...neocrook would be more like it!
Does "sanity prevailing" mean putting in the White House Barack Obama, the candidate of Zbig Brzezinski, his policy adviser,author of "The Grand Chessboard", planmaster of the war on "terrorism" and founding director of the Trilateral Commission? Or of Penny Pritzker, his finance chairperson, a Chicao banker who was one of the first to initiate predatory subprime lending? Or General Tony McPeak, his military adviser, who commanded the US Air Force during Gulf War I, when it committed the war crime of destroying Iraq's water supply and sewage infrastructure? Read Pam Martens at http://www.counterpunch.com on Obama and Wall Street connections.
So that would mean America is only half - asleep?
Zzzzzzzzzz.. What, What!?
Stupid stolen election..zzzz
Huh, What!?
9/11 was allowed to happen?
Yeah, well, mmm Cheney is on the job and he'll..Zzzzzzzzzz
What is it!!? Shit!!
Lies, yeah, lies this, lies that!
I'm trying to sleep here! K!!
[heavy sigh]
Burp. [rub eye's]
Oh, shit!
I might as well get up.
la la la la laaa Good morning world! Everything is just fine!!
Should Obama somehow wind up in the white house (assuming he avoids being "suicided' etc) I just hope he`s not another warmongering bush terrorist.
I must say I have my doubts.
The Neocons are loosing in many other areas as well. Plus what is surfacing are many situations that will result in serious consequences for their actions.

Sanity and Amerikans do not tend to go together. TV is Brainwashing. It puts your Mind into Alpha frequencies when your Mind should be in Beta Frequencies. Not to mention, to Definition of Brainwashing is basically, "Repeat the same Lie over and over until it becomes Truth."

Our Government/ Banks/Schools/Corporations/"Federal Reserve"/Media are all run by Zionist Freemason Jews.
The Illuminati. Read anything by Fritz Springmeier.
Personally, I don't care who our next Presidental Master is as long as he/she doesn't commit Mass Genocide, Initiate Martial Law, or anything as dreadful.
The REAL problem is the Illuminati. Until we get enough SANE, Unbrainwashed Amerikans... nothing will Change.
Anonymous No. 1, certainly no coincidence!
The best of a bad bunch No.3.
As I said to No. 3 Deb; Obama is the best of a bad bunch.
As said neocons know that hiliting John McCain's attributes only serves to expose his hefty baggage from the Vietnam era, as well as his euphoria at the prospect of a 100yr war in Iraq, plus his distinct penchant for bombing, bombing, bombing Iran, they, however, mistakenly believe that casting about for trifling negative attributes of Barack Obama isn't going to be seen thru as the desperate and transparent ploy that it is - deflecting attention away from their John McCain.
So, how will this play out ?
Hillary can now only hope to be invited as VP to Obama, otherwise to moulder away back in the Senate. Off course being VP will chafe a white lady of impeccable credentials - as she might self image, but right now who cannot see any way of having an RFK or JFK jnr done on him, as we are in a different era, thanks to the ubiquity and instaneity of the net where the nod for this could be tracked to her.
This is especially so since the (palpably to the net aware public) treasonous 911 has caused instant mass disbelief of the inevitable official story which is always somehow ready to roll the moment an `accident` or a shooting happens to a politician.
That is why i think she will be invited to be his VP at the Democratic Convention as he will feel safe in the knowledge that she is aware that there is a large number of people out there who are now watching her every move, now that they know she was the beneficiary of the death of JFK jnr in that small plane crash in July 1999, as he was then no longer around to be the Democrat contender for that same NY Senate seat. JFK jnr would likely have become Pres and tracked down the killers of his dad, and that couldn't be allowed.
So, Obama/Clinton duo v McCain/(insert name). None of the dropped out contenders for the Republican nomination are memorable for anything uncommonally honorable, decent or noble in their lives - public or private. And were John McCain to select from any of that failed field his end would be ignominious against the Obama/Clinton team.
He does have one chance and one chance only, and that is to invite Ron Paul - who is still in the race - to be his VP.
The McCain/Paul team would win as people are fed up with not only endless war in Iraq but the very serious prospect of war against Iran, which Hillary wants and would get, whereas, although John McCain also wants the same thing, Ron Paul would demolish all the arguments for it, and in public.
And no one would dare kill Ron Paul, but no one.

Best of a bad bunch? It that like choosing the best out of Hitler, Himmler and Goering? And no, i'm not saying Obama is a Nazi:-), but his top adviser Brzezinski is most likely the grand architect of 9/11 (via The Grand Chessboard), he was the founding director of the Trilateral Commission, David Rockefeller put him in charge of selecting the members. And in '98 he bragged to a French paper about how he initiated the guerrilla war in Afghanistan in Summer '79, *before* the Soviet intervention, in fact with the idea of forcing Soviet forces to intervene so they would get trapped in a Vietnam-like quagmire. This is the man who will likely pull the strings were Obama to become president.
Unfortunately, yes, it is a bit like having to choose between Hitler, Himmler and Goering. The people of the US will have to choose between Obama, Clinton or McCain. One of them WILL be the next President of the US. Who would you want out of the three?
Anonymous said "Do you think it is a coincidence that Luttwak is a Zionist?
Anonymous, you meant Jew. Just have the guts to say it.
Anyway, I got a question. Why is it apparently "all over" in the Democratic race when Hillary keeps on winning?
Anonymous, what has the fact that Luttwak happens to be Jewish got to do with it? The problem is with right-wing neoconservative Zionism; not with Jewish people per se. Are you inferring that being anti-right-wing Zionist is somehow anti-Semitic? If so, then how do you account for the many Jews both in Israel and throughout the Diaspora who are also anti-Zionist?
To Anon 10.10am, actually Hillary is not winning, the photo of the massive crowd of 72,000 Obama addressed in Oregon the other day; http://www.oregonlive.com/oregonian/ftp/Monday-A1.pdf
cannot be matched by Hillary anywhere. Nor ever will be.
Where no pictures are taken somehow the results tend to closely see-saw rather than yaw, which reminds me that in the Netherlands electronic voting will now be banned.
D'ya think they have been watching this US style of voting over the years, and with some dismay ? The Dutch are a civilized people. Now i ask you, should the US follow suit ?
Had the US banned electronic in favour of paper ballots a year ago, would HRC still be in the running now ? What d'ya think ?
Anonymous at 10:10am, you appear to have meant to make the accusation of antisemitism ... but didn't have the guts to be direct about it.
Anyway, I got a question. What do you think of Luttwack's bigotry and use of the dog whistle?
