Little Satan


Little Satan rolls out the red carpet for the Great Satan. And it is blood red too! Little Satan goes out every day - even nights. Presented with killer successful kill rates, classified intell and
cries for a 'hudna' that couldn't possibly be for real - (cutting Peace deals would be like the kiss of Death for HAMAS whose entire raison d' existance' would magically disappear) Little Satan plans and presents her kills early a.m. like a cat. Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna'i is totally jazzed about taking the 'Jihad' out of Islamic Jihad's Missile Martyrs on a 24/7 humanitarian trip
"very pleased with our achievements - may I add though the air strikes are not
an alternative to a ground operation."
Real estate wise, including after the show hoes like West Bank and Gaza Strip - even the hotly contested 13 acres of hottie Har Dov (Shee Bah Farms in Arabic) Tiny tiny Little Satan 'occupies' less than 1% of the Arab world and less than a /10th of 1% of Islamic turf. What the heck is it about 7 million people that drive almost 300 million absolutely bloody batty?

At war from the day she was born, halfway through the magical month of NakBah (15 May for the Gregorians) Little Satan hit the hood and pretty much took over. In every measure of economic, political, social, and cultural measurements, Little Satan is a success. Thriving - totally off the hook - amid a hood fully stocked with misery. Without oil, without a large population, without friendly homies on her borders, without vast real estate, and without the Suez Canal, she is far superior, far more humane than Hosni's Egypt, Abdullah's (v2.0) Jordan, Bashar's Syria and ex colonies like Abbas' West Bank and HAMAS' Gaza Strip.

In fact, Little Satan is so magical - so irresistable - that recent internal Palestinian polls reflect that an amazing 62% of Palestinians would prefer being citizens in Little Satan than any future Palestinian state.

Little Satan got Game! Like all democracies Little Satan actively and energetically pursues academics, the arts, business, commerce, communications, industry, medicine, science and tech. World Economic Forum rates Israel at genius level for the last two years - 1st for availability of scientists and engineers, 2nd for venture capital availability, 3rd in the world in Technological readiness, 5th in patents pending amd 7th in innovations.
"Israel has become a world technology powerhouse, and this is beginning to have
favorable demonstration effect on the rest of the economy. Israel has benefited
from the development of culture of innovation, supported by first-class
institutions of higher education and scientific research."
When conflicts disrupt these pursuits, Little Satan actively and ruthlessly pursues the absolute defeat of her enemies. Just like Great Satan - Little Satan's armoured blitz by General Sharon in 1967 and 1973 faithfully followed General Sherman and General Patton's model of killing the most enemies, capturing the most pows, liberating the most turf in the least amount of time while suffering far fewer casualities.
In a wonderful homage to Great Satan's Total War Master - many times Little Satan blitzed in Sherman tanks - just like Patton. Victorious without modesty, repeatedly and at will. Many times all at once and all by herself until the Yom Kippor War in 1973. The Great Satan did indeed intervene to ensure the ME's only Democracy did not perish - if only by replenishing armor and passing on Soviet Union's request to Little Satan: Please Don't park your tanks in downtown Cairo and Damascus.

Having personally witnessed right before his eyes Little Satan's fangs in action as a small boy when the first King Abdullah's best friend and Air Force fighter commander was shot to pieces trying to lift off during Little Satan's pre emptive jet blitz of 1967 (the Summer of Love - no less) that annihilated the combined Air Forces of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and any Iraqi air forces in range before lunch time, King Abdullah (v2.0) recently hosted Little Satan in Jordan and shared gossip. Unverified intell claims
Have something in writing drawn up with Abbas ready to show Bush – even if it
means nothing. That in a word was the advice Jordan’s King Abdullah II gave
Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert when they met in Aqaba Thursday, Jan. 3.
Olmert offered to go along with the advice, but said he was worried about the
Palestinian leader. Last week, Abbas confided to Abdullah and Egypt’s Hosni
Mubarak that he was totally infected with Palestinian Sympathy
Fatigue
(though not a 62% er) and way ready to hit the escape hatch and bail
out for his beach front villa in Qatar.

After all, the real problem in the ME has never been just a K or 2K acres of disputed land, occupied turf or Holy sites. Complete absence of a legitimate government — and played arabic, Palestinian, mohammedist, and socialist foreign subsidized myths and make believeologies - Palestinians may be to blame. Rowdy foreigners, who learned the hard way not to send in THEIR jets and panzers to conquer Palestine from the river to the sea, feed failed ideas. That inhumane tactics, illegitimate leaders, suiciders, rocket brigades would grant sweet fruit like the honor, prosperity, and victory that they could never receive through war, tribal dictatorship or public opinion.
Little Satan greets Great Satan amid rocketry and retardation with class, grace and style:
"You are our strongest and most trusted ally in the battle against terrorism
and fundamentalism and a staunch supporter of our quest for peace and
stability."
Great Satan - totally pleased - responds with class, grace and style:
"The alliance between our two nations helps guarantee Israel's security as a
Jewish state."
HAMAS acknowledges Great Satan's field trip to Jerusalem (flying in - just like Mohammed!) signals scary signals. Mustafa al-Barghouti, top cat of the political movement the Palestinian National Initiative fears that
"Israel's impunity has increased after Annapolis, and we fear further Israeli
military escalation after Bush's visit."

Girlfriends

It was late summer in 1999, and I was in Israel. President Bush was still Governor Bush, and I was traveling as his foreign policy adviser. In a meeting with Ariel Sharon, I met one of his advisers—a confident and impressive woman, roughly my age (well, actually a little younger), named Tzipi Livni.


Little did I know how intertwined our lives and work would become! Last May, Tzipi, like me, became the second woman ever to hold her nation's top foreign policy job. Those early months were anything but easy: violence in Gaza, a war in Lebanon, a radical President in Iran. Tzipi's strength to endure, indeed to excel, in what were difficult, often heartbreaking, conditions was a testament to her character.

Tzipi and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have the foresight to know that a Palestinian state is in Israel's greatest interest, and that they must pursue the cause of peace with their Arab neighbors. President Bush and I deeply share this goal. And for Tzipi and me, it is now the focus of our work together.

Tzipi has not just been my colleague; she has become my friend. We have sat together for hours debating ideas—freely, openly, even combatively at times. I have learned of her deep pride in her children. We share an abiding respect for our now deceased fathers—mine, a successful son of the old segregated American South; hers, a defender of the Jewish homeland in its first days of independence.
Tzipi, 48, is a woman of conviction, intelligence and peace. I deeply respect her. I like being around her. And I know that long after we have both exited the world stage, we'll still be friends.

Albright Doctrine

The Grand Dame Avatar realist Madelaine K. Albright released a heartfelt caveat to the next Pres elect that requires a willing suspension of reality and a fearless ride on realpolitik's warped worldview one wheeled wagon. The ex Sec of State's jones for a trip on the wayback machine to the really unstable swinging stability of the 90's bi polar world is easy! It's all about the fear.
"One manifestation of fear is an unwillingness to think seriously about
alternative perspectives. America's standing in the world has been in free
fall these past few years because our country is perceived as trying to
impose its own reality -- to fashion a world that is safe and comfortable
for us with little regard for the views of anyone else."
This is significant. By happy luck, serious alternatives to 60 years of sucking up to unelected leaders - benign or horrid - ours or theirs - has not brought the corrupt, amoral cult of stability's stability, peace or security. It has brought terrorism, oil embargoes, wars, disease, famine and genocide. Serious alternatives are indeed required.

Totally played and way too last millenium. America's standing in the world, instead of free falling - has actually consistently soared - like Darling Nikki's rapprochment, Deutschland's elopement and Great Britain's renewed vows.

Realistically, the views of the Great Satan are totally legit with the entire world. America's deliciously dissing debut' - disregarding deranged doofuses with red ran fake blood hands - The attractive, articulate - universally awesome Non negotiable demands of human dignity

"...the rule of law, limits on state power, free speech, religious liberty,
equal justice, property rights, tolerance of difference and respect for
women. These values are a source of success for nations across the world and they are the only ideas that can give a future of modernity with dignity. This, we believe, will ultimately defeat the ideology of violent extremism and thus ensure our security..."

The Great Satan's safe comfy zone is truly global. Downright dangerous to illegitimate, intolerant regimes that torment their own people, their neighbors and have a magical ability and affinity for sponsoring and sprouting civilian rich environments packed with rocket rich self sabotaging woman worshipping, gender apartheiding rejectionists - who may or may not be fiddling about with WMD, intolerant militias, foreign fed 'n' led missile men, and active terrorist agents of destabilization.

"We need to do a better job of seeing ourselves as others do. It strikes the
world as ludicrous that we -- with all our wealth and power -- seem so afraid of
terrorists, rogue states..."
So afraid? In the New Millenium WMD crunked up caliphates, supervillans and their logistical intolerant chaotic soul mate states should indeed be so afraid - frightened - no less - by America Unbound. There is zero worth - no reason to tolerate them. Regimes that espouse no legitmacy or share no values. Unfree, in some cases nigh unhinged regimes - cannot help but act out against any functional or semi functional democracy in the current weapons range of 2K Kilometers.

Everything in America's arsenal - communications, financial, military, overt covert ops, diplomatic meetings etc."Dialouge" should be implemented as regime killing regime changes. Sending clear signals - Universal Confrontation and Selective Intervention are key components in the New Millenium.
As Ex Sec Albright herself says
"That idea is grounded in belief in democracy and burnished by our sense of
responsibility to generations past and still to come, and to keep our
nerve in the face of adversaries far more potent than those we face today."

Diplomatic Faux Pas?

When Deutschland recently officially unofficially declared Iranian uranium enrichment enthusiasts personnae non gratis - effectively sacking them, stripping diplo stats and shipping them home sans atomic fanboy stuff it could have been considered one of the "Grits and Deutschmarks Uber Alles" mach shau. Except Deutschers didn't stop there.

Using a trick like the mullahs wrote the book on, Germany dispatched faux diplomats to Tehran, and they weren't carrying Deutschmarks - as befitting Iran's largest legit trading and biz homies - instead (according to unverified sources) they toted lap top computers. In a crazy command and control caliphate like the Islamic Republic - Das ist Verboten! Iranian Foreign Mis Ministry spokescat Ali Hosseini admitted

"Responsible authorities recognized that this person was engaging in
undiplomatic behavior and has to leave Iran."
Responsible authorities recognize recent frantic crackdowns on online fun of any kind - new millenium censoring technologies buddied up with old school headknocking drove Iran's Online Posse into nigh unsustainable levels of overtime hours, new detention facilities and a cyber crackdown on tools that undermine the regime.
This is significant. For the price of a single bunker buster (your choice - nuclear, neutronic or conventional) tens of 1000's of laptop computers with Wi Fi and filter busters could be passed out to combat a regime whose nation is fully crunk with smart, tech saavy young people and perhaps spur the most awesome of all regime changes - from the inside out. In "Children of Jihad" Jared Cohen points out in his Persian pilgrimage that kids in Iran are sick of preachers ruining their nation, their future and their lives:

"The biggest problem in Iran right now is that young people there can tell you
exactly what kind of society they don't want, they can tell you exactly what
kind of society they do want.

These young Iranians cannot tell you for the life of them who they want to lead them. They cannot find a single leader to gravitate around and so without a leader to mobilize them, they are not going to go to this. That's part of it. They are also terrified as a legacy of the student riots and what happened in 1999 but also a lot of them have lost confidence in the reform movement.

So if they go to the streets and risk getting arrested or detained, who in the government are they actually trying to influence? They don't feel like they have an advocate in the establishment right now. Now, I believe that the next leader of Iran is going to come from this youth generation."

Unlimited access to the internet in their own nation would certainly (regime) change that! Unbridle'd internet capitalistic chicanery unleashed with blogs, essays and easy made faux ID's could launch the next generation's future Iranian leadership cadre into political movements with real time communications, rallies and press that the 'authorities' might not be able to counter with traditional despotic control methodology.

Sweet.

Chechnya Caveat


Dr Yossef Bodansky returns after his super controversial "Secret History of the Iraq War" with a very interesting nonfictional docu drama about the future of Jihad. Using history, high level contacts and a bit more open on sources, Dr. B shares lessons, tactics and strategies that the Russians used to salvage an almost total defeat in Chechnya (despite leveling the capitol Grozny - twice) into a managable draw and a likely marginalization of the destructive appeals of militant mohammedism. It's "Chechen Jihad - Al Qaeda's Training Ground and the Next Wave of Terror"

When the Soviet Union regime changed herself into the Russian Commonwealth, Chechnya became a laboratory for years, featuring a weird hook up of native Chechen separatists and militant jihad Joes.

From all over Central Asia and the ME, rejectionists with an evil penchant for victims, sharia law and explosives have joined forces to replenish al Qaeda and the world wide mohammedist movement to continue the attack on anything not remotely resembling a romanticsed reactionary 8th century fantasy.

"Chechens are professional fighters—disciplined and responsible, with a
combination of skills, expertise, and character that has made them the most
sought-after 'force multipliers' in the jihadist movement."
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Kurdistan, Caucasas, Algeria, the Balkans, Sudan, Kashmir and Azerbijian. To name a few. Chechens appear wherever Jihadi mini theocracies are in danger of collapsing. Chechens also appear wherever Jihadi theocracies are exporting murder, mayhem and torment to their neighbors. Secular mercenary Chechens appear whenever Vlad needs some military influence in old school Soviet Republics that have splintered into an astounding number of provinces, peoples and independence movements.

Bodansky shares secrets and actually does the kiss and tell routine with secret histories of the two Chechen wars, caveats about "Chechenization" - a Russian style 'hearts and minds' campaign that failed and transformed the fight from a secular nationalist campaign into a holy war against Mother Russia and the secular, wicked, woman worshipping West.

And, in the most instructive message for Western audiences, reveals how the Chechen rebellion was eventually crippled by a schism between Mohammedists and the Chechen people whose nationalist rebellion they had co-opted—an object lesson in the vulnerability of imposed Caliphatic campaigns around the world.

Great writing, action and real life twists that rival anything from Hollywood. Especially sweet is the revelation of Putin's payback kill on El Bastardo of the horrific Beslan School Massacre . Bodansky presents a convincing pic from military and intelligence sources throughout the ME and Central Asia, as well as senior officials, spies, mercs and survivors in many of the affected nations.

"Chechen Jihad" offers an intimate look, chilling possibilities and possible solutions.

Genes

My genes sometimes shrink in cold water.

Rocket Rich Rejects


The Gaza Strip - the smallest of the Little Satan's client states is a magical place where life is cheap and death is praised, precious and preferred. Since the HAMAS seized power, the leaders of this spin off Death Cult have twisted logic and tactics into mentis non compos for their deadly desire to retain power, impose their dark vision on their own people and a nigh unhinged urgency to commit nat'l kamikaze on the indespensible host state of Israel.

A crazy chaotic ex Egyptian coastal colony totally dependent for nearly everything sans weaponry from a democratic member of the UN whose name the ruling theocratic armed to the teeth intolerant fanboys of the Strip cannot bear to speak aloud. Little Satan's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni says it out loud. The Gaza Strip is an

"Enemy entity. It's not a secret that Hamas is a terrorist organization"
The "We are so last year" plan of suicide bombers (martyrs in Arabic) is, for all intents and purposes - null and void. All 'cause the Wall the Little Satan elected to have erected after splitting Gaza in '05 forces the HAMAS' new millenium plan to swap suiciders for missiles. Recently sacked Palestinian Foreign Minster(HAMAS)Mahmoud a-Zahar shared tactical tips before the coalition Palestinian Gov collapsed and losing his gig.

"Which do you think is more effective, martyrdom operations or rockets against
Sderot? Rockets against Sderot will cause mass migration, greatly disrupt daily
lives and government administration and can make a much huger impact on the
government. We are using the methods that convince the Israelis that their
occupation is costing them too much. impact on the Israeli side is so much."

Weaponry wise - Gaza got Game! Hooked up with Hiz'B'Allah cadre saavy from facing Little Satan's Land/Air Battle capabilities and tactics.Irans fans prep fortified positions and tank kill zones, The HAMAS is stoked and stocked re: recreating a WWII Russian style ''Kursk" slow go slow bleed strat that will force an Israeli armored Strip response to chop their way through an immense no man's junkyardland of wrecked armor, martyrs and victims. IDF Brigadier General Yossi Baidatz, head of the IDF intelligence research department, confirms

" that Hamas has smuggled advanced anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles into the
Gaza Strip. Hamas may even have smuggled a number of RPG-29 rocket-propelled
grenades, Grad rockets (think 122mm gussied up K'tyushas), Sagger, Konkurs and
Kornet anti-tank missiles from the Sinai into the Gaza Strip."

When Egypt recently cried foul on behalf of legally outmanuvered West Bankers about Jerusalem's make believe borders, Little Satan's little Tzipi pointed out that Egypt may do better to worry about real borders like Egypt's border with Gaza. Egypt totally sucks on doing her gig as a sovereign nation by not being very productive at preventive cross border projectile proliferation

"Egyptian actions in the war against smuggling in the Philadelphi Corridor are
terrible and definitely have implications for future problems in the region,
such as the arming of Hamas in Gaza."

These implications may include withholding tons of the Great Satan's aid to Egypt. Leading the world in American aid (and gender apartheid) Egypt could go bust if President for Life Hosni's lazy border cats fail to

"detect and destroy the smuggling network and tunnels that lead from Egypt to
Gaza."

The Gaza Strip is top heavy with innocent civilians too. Out of a total pop of 1.5 million - nearly 1 million are rec'ving UNRWA bennie checks as Palestinian Refugees. What the heck? Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip? Palestine's Internal polls in both Palestines - your choice - reflect or 'snapshot' that West Bankers or Gazans - do NOT want to live in a sharia law loving Preachers Paradise. No surprise - as they boast the highest Arab League average literacy rate of 92% - rather risable and remarkable to recieve higher ratings than ex Colonial Masters like Egypt and Jordan. Reckon the Little Satan should be blamed for that too?

Philosophical diversity aside - HAMAS has proven totally pysched to exploit 'n' employ these human sheilds to productively pursue their PLO rival Fatah's Phased plan. The HAMAS is counting on these civilians. Any Sharon style Panzer Strip Surge would no doubt be countered with Gaza franchised Green Helmeted guys, ala Al Qana assorted dead innocents and the outrage la obligitore', like Islamic Rage Boy's pending comeback out act.

In the new millenium's new and lame stream media age, the PR fall out from a mean Jenin armored blitz could be nigh unbearable. HAMAS is using rockets and threats of rockets like padded brasieres to bait and drive Israel batty so she acts out and dents that human shield.

Good luck. Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue is all the rage. HAMAS dissed public appeals and ditched Annapolis. The Arab League doesn't seem particulary jazzed about pressing cries for mercy from dysfunctional self destroyers and rocket rich rejects.

Little Satan's unlamented 90 minute panzer blitz into Gaza seized crucial hoods to divy, split and seperate. Brig.Gen Moshe Tamir, IDF Commander of the Gaza division, explained the IDF’s operational goals:

"The operations are conducted 2-3 km from the fence in order to prevent the
digging of tunnels, planting of explosive devices, infiltration into Israeli
communities, shooting attacks against Israeli farmers on their land near the
fence, and the firing of rockets and mortal bombs at Israel…"

This free style preventive land snatch requires protection and Little Satan puts the tech in protection. Like all free wheeling, dealing, financially hip, tolerant, egalitarian societies - Israel weilds a high tech military conscripted from a nation of smart people, far above her tiny weight class. Little Satan is quietly taking out her enemies in the Gaza Strip with a Hot Pocket Caliphate new millenium style of tactics and weaponry. Super saavy sensors are deployed that match the nom de guerre of the Sonic Lynx. CEO Gil Pogozelich lets the cat out of the bag

"This system can be deployed wherever the force is - in an ambush or in a watchtower. The detection will take place 20 seconds before the infiltration, which is critical."

Little Satan sees in the dark and mercilessly takes out one of the Gaza Strips Thug clans - the Islamic Jihad. Drones, missiles, with real time visuals knock out a 2 dozen count rocket brigade including a celeb commander from both Palestines. Majed Harazin never had a chance.

Little Satan knew where he was headed before he did. Wanted for nine years on Israel's Most Wanted Harazin hung the ultimate hookup with a missile. Islamic Jihad's press conference at the morgue proved their humor was still intact though - IJ spokescat, Abu Hamza, told The Associated Press

"The blood of our comrades will be the fuel for the rockets that will bring
death and destruction to the Zionists."

Since then, Islamic Jihad has been floating in a sea of blood and rocket fuel. Little Satan has been relentless - knocking them off, vaporizing them on a daily basis and unverified sources claim several of HAMAS' homies have been infiltrated by naughty hottie spies and agents of the Little Satan right up to their necks.

Targeting from the top down, Israel makes Rocket Science the deadliest (and dumbest) occupation in the Gaza Strip. Gaza's premier rocket scientist Karim al - Dahdouh totally incinerated with his minions in a horrific vehicular missile collision that forced folks to search the nearby area for nonincinerated body bits.

In the 183 days that have passed since the middle of June, 428 rockets and 590 mortar bombs have been fired from the Gaza Strip.

Little Satan has constantly been on the offensive in Gaza killing off her enemies by the truckload in a tactical design far above traditional city fighting like Stalingrad or Grozny. Israel's Hot Pocket Caliphate (Sha Ria Law flavour) recipe is significant. The ultimate in humanitarianism, this is the 'safest' battlefield in history. Command and control centers with real time, intimate enemy line of sight, armed drones target terrorists with heavy weaponry capturing or killing them.

The burden is all on HAMAS and the nearly 2 dozen intolerant, girl fearing unhappy and unhinged doofus grandees in a hot pocket caliphate. And that burden includes the fact that the State holds the monopoly on violence.

If HAMAS can round up 100's of Fatah fans - then certainly they can reign in private armies, militias and home grown rocket artillery.These groups undermine the semi legitimacy that illegitimate rulers profess. And if those in power want to retain power - they'd best get a grip on weilding that monopoly - lest sovereignity slip away ala Lebanon or Pakistan.

HAMAS gets it - realizing Little Satan won't play the traditional 'Grozny' method of killing everyone in town to deny it to the enemy. Cries for a truce are not convincing. Little Satan blows it off as she openly laughs

"We are fighting Hamas and are seeking to weaken its control of Gaza, and bring
about the end of its reign there."

West Bank Palestine's Pres Abbas agrees totally - launching his own war against the HAMAS

"We have to bring down this bunch, which took over Gaza with armed force, and is
abusing the sufferings and pains of our people."
