(Their 2000 document said) “what was needed for America to dominate much of humanity and the world’s resources, it said, was “some catastrophic and catalysing event – like a new Pearl Harbor”. The attacks of 11 September 2001 provided the “new Pearl Harbor”.” ——John Pilger

Perle is closely associated with far-right Israeli militarists wanting to use the American war machine as a means of ensuring the security of Israel in the context of annexation of nearly half of the West Bank. This is a formula for catastrophe.

Perle discouraged peace between Israel and Syria, available for no cost apart from returning to the border that existed at the time of the war with Syria in 1967.

Perle wants a permanent, vastly expensive US military presence in Iraq, even though the great majority of Iraqis want the US to leave ASAP. Protecting private oil deals is the name of the game, and the American taxpayer gets hosed.

Chuck the oil fompany executives and their Congressional facilitators!

Jesus, what a maniac. Not only does he think the taxpayers should destroy a country so he can steal its resources, but he expects to be eternally lauded in song for these activities.

must be another typical republican coward

such a little sissy

(btw, I played in a country band myself, but I was 13 and soon outgrew it musically)

I have several solo albums out and have reformed my jazz quartet at the request of the label to produce another album, this time supported by a tour.

The point is: I can play advanced music and I don’t have to sink to playing music for the lowest common denominator to make a living (like Toby Keith and most country “musicians”).

Jazz fans generally know a LOT more about music than country fans. And I’m talking about MUSIC, not who played with who on what (that’s just trivia)

“Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people.”
(see: George W. Bush)

“If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now.”
(whose children? The neocons and contractors?)

“Sometimes the things we have to do are objectionable in the eyes of others.”
(Or some would say repugnant/illegal/immoral)

There needs to be another Truman commission created. Not sure what good that will do however since this spineless Congress can’t even get a subpoena to stick.

I’ve already written my congressman to let him know that he has to prove to me that he’s a ‘value add’ in the house or he’s getting kicked to the curb.

WOWSA!!! I had no idea Rosie Palm had so many relatives :)~
