BUSH-RICE BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO THE JEWISH NATION

by Emanuel A. Winston

On her 60th birthday party, May 10th, America's President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will present the Jewish people a birthday present which may come in the form of a poisoned apple. Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will knowingly accept the poison and feed it to the Jews of Israel and World Jewry –– as he did in Gush Katif/Gaza. Actually, we do not yet know what poison will be chosen and the Bush/Olmert regimes will, of course, not tell us in advance lest we find an antidote.

Let us speculate on what this black hearted cabal might have been working on for Israel's 60th Birthday:

1. It might be an under-the-table document like the Oslo Accords were when then PM Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres brewed up, in secrecy, the surrender of 7 cities in Eretz Yisrael to Yassir Arafat which inevitably became official Terrorist encampments.

2. It might be a document to be signed by Olmert, Bush and Abbas with Bush as a guarantor, to relinquish all Jewish rights to Judea and Samaria. (The idea is that once the Prime Minister of Israel signs a document from the position of his lofty office, thereafter, it is an irrevocable commitment by all of Israel –– (whether they voted for it or not) –– before all other world bodies. Naturally, it would be planned to by-pass any Knesset vote or Peoples' Referendum.

3. Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzippi Livni and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, in collusion with Bush, Rice, the U.S. State Department –– with James Baker III as advisor, could sign a document dividing Jerusalem (G-d forbid). With that, they would abrogate any claim to sovereignty that the Jewish people have over the Land of Israel granted to the Jewish people by G-d in perpetuity.

4. It may be recalled that U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney stated plainly in a joint news conference with PM Ehud Olmert that "The U.S. will never pressure Israel to risk her security." We all took this as a statement of truth. But, apparently, Bush, Rice and Cheney had something else in mind –– as a different interpretation. Their idea was to follow the Rice, Baker "Road Map", calling for Israel to achieve that "thing" called security and peace. The "Road Map" intended for Israel to "Divide Jerusalem" as a false capital for a "non-people" who began to call themselves "Palestinians" –– And also to abandon Judea and Samaria with all of its homes and infrastructure intact and gift it to 3 to 5 million so-called "Palestinians" who are going to be ejected from Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and anywhere else in the world where they might be incarcerated by their host countries. This betrayal was Yassir Arafat's idea for his future state with all Jews driven from the Land. If you doubt that, he said it often and wore the whole State of Israel as the second State of Palestine on his uniform, in his stationary, on TV broadcasts, maps, flags, etc.

Then Syria plans to take over the Golan Heights with Israel's primary source of fresh water. Olmert, Barak and Livni have been in negotiation with Bashar Assad, denials notwithstanding. This and more was to provide Israel with that chimera of "security and peace" that Cheney spoke about "never pressing Israel to risk her security".

5. When these evil-minded people assemble in Jerusalem, on May 10th, they will either come with the proverbial poisoned apple or poison pen document to once again try to eliminate the Jewish nation, claiming they are saving Israel from ourselves.

6. A lame duck President and his black hearted Secretary of State come to celebrate, NOT the holy re-birth of a nation but her demise. A President and his family who are tied to the Arab and multi-national oil industry that has totally crippled the American economy, ruining millions of Americans' lives, now comes like a nefarious Trojan Horse to cripple the Jewish nation and appease the Arab Muslims nations. It is little wonder that America is being battered by a recession –– leading to a probable Depression, among other natural catastrophes.

7. No doubt, other plans are in the works to subvert Israel's ability to defend herself against the combined forces of Islam and the Europeans, in lockstep with those plans.

Perhaps, Israel will be given the dubious honor of joining NATO so international forces can be placed in Gaza, Judea, Samaria, the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and all of the parts of Jerusalem occupied by Jordan for 19 years from 1948 to 1967 –– until Israeli soldiers liberated it. Ah, Yes, imagine Jerusalem as Saigon, with foreign troops strolling the streets, looking for Jewish girls to get laid on a week-end pass. Saigon became the Vietnamese whore house of that nation. But, that is only one benefit of security in the Bush, Rice, Olmert Livni, Barak plans of a false Peace and the Big Bush Legacy.

8. Better Bush and Rice send a telegram of Happy Birthday and stay home. The American people like and admire the plucky little nation of Israel. There is no desire by the average American to own or control Israel –– except for a failed President and his jew hating mouth piece C. Rice, working out her adolescent problems of racism of Southern Whites.

Stay home, Mr. President. Israel has enough of its own corrupt venal politicians who wish to de-Judaize the Jewish Nation on her 60th Birthday.

I cannot help but wonder what George Bush will do as the Muslims and Arabs of Syria, Iran, Hezb'Allah, Hamas, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt gather their well-armed forces again to attack Israel. We already know that the cowardly Olmert will seek to restrain Israel's military as Olmert has done under the threats of C. Rice. If there is a war of all the parties, with America attacking Iran, will Bush and Rice still try to appease the Muslim world by feeding Israel to them as the sacrificial lamb and, thereby, dampen their anger. We Jews have been betrayed by experts over the centuries. In brief, one cannot trust a regime that says it will fight Terror and then sends millions of American tax-payers dollars to Muslim Arab Palestinian Terrorists.

We expect that of Iran and Syria who are designated State Sponsors of Terror because they also send money, train Terrorists and supply weapons.

Fortunately, Secretary of State Rice and her Department of State team have gone a bit too far and exposed their hand.

"Coincidentally", just after Rice's team left, it was revealed that America will hold back military re-supply to Israel "until Israel needs it". This would ostensibly save Israel "billions of dollars" in storage costs for "equipment and weapons it may never use".

Holding back military re-supply is an old State Department tactic, used best by Henry Kissinger in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, in order to insure that Israel would be "more flexible" when she was forced into post-war negotiations. I remember hearing that Kissinger said: "Let Israel bleed a little. She'll give up more in negotiations if she bleeds a little." Kissinger's deliberate delay of re-supplying Israel until the eighth day of the war led to many needless deaths and endangered Israel severely.

So, on top of the State Department making Israel remove roadblocks in order to give Terrorists greater freedom of movement –– with more Israelis dead, they also want Israel to incur greater casualties in any upcoming war. Like Kissinger, the State Department and C. Rice want "Israel to bleed a little" –– or a lot!

We can't help but notice how this comes together nicely, with the $60plus Billion dollars of American arms that have been supplied to Egypt the past years since the Camp David Accords. Don't forget the hundreds of thousands of American tax-payers' dollars that have gone to the Fatah under Mahmoud Abbas for weapons –– only to be captured by Hamas as soon as they took over Gaza. Remember that Bush connived with Sharon and Olmert to surrender and evict 10,000 men, women and children from Gush Katif in Gaza that gave Hamas the Terrorist Base they needed. Those 21 Jewish communities in Gush Katif were being attacked, mercilessly –– as is Sderot now –– but, they were protecting the rest of Southern Israel.

The billions to Egypt and millions to the Palestinian Authority continued apace and grew exponentially during the 8 years of the Bush, Rice years. Remember Rice was first National Security Advisor and now is Secretary of State. Egypt will have top quality tanks, planes and missiles ready to attack Israel. Why Israel? Israel is Egypt's only enemy. Why else would Egypt be preparing for war? Egypt has become the military colossus of the Middle East and is now negotiating with Vladimir Putin of Russia to build a nuclear power plant as Russia did for Iran. One to start with –– more to follow.

Egypt has made no secret of its aim to achieve military parity with the Jewish State and to have a regional military projection capability. Cairo has acquired new and more powerful weapons systems, including surface-to-surface missiles from China and North Korea, WMD capability, fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, naval vessels and, of course, tanks. With no country threatening its borders, only Israel appears to be the likely target of the Egyptian build-up. Some may recall during a prior US administration, while Secretary of Defense William Cohen was observing Operation "Bright Star" (Joint Military Games between U.S. and Egyptian troops), a high ranking Egyptian General said: "We are preparing for war with Israel." (1)

Of course, resupply takes time –– even under the best of circumstances. Egypt will have top quality tanks, planes and missiles ready to attack –– while Israel is waiting for American re-supply. With 40,000 enemy missiles now in Hezb'Allah inventory, poised to hit Israel –– flights will be delayed. Runways may be hit. America may not want to sent her cargo jets into enemy fire. The State Department may relish the idea of letting Israel "sweat it out".

The State Department and Ms. Rice have shown themselves to be hostile entities when it comes to Israel. It is beneficial for Israel and her friends around the world to know this. Congress may find it necessary to launch an investigation into the State Department's inner strategy towards Israel.

However, there is another benefit that can come from this. As we proposed in the past, America should build giant pre-positioning warehouses in Israel. These will be under American ownership until they are released for either Israel's use or American re-supply to one of the American theaters of war in time of emergency.

Having a re-supply depot in the Middle East that is secured by the Israelis can be very useful in the volatile Middle East.
