Lebanon is betrayed by three “Axis of Evil? Arab countries
Total disappointment in Lebanon after the US Blocked Call for Cease-Fire, and they thought they allies with America, “enjoying? it’s protection.
Jihad El Zein asks: Lebanese Wonder, ‘Can We Count on America?’
Is this “lack of American protection” temporary, or is it for the long term? The answer is unclear, since President Bush revealed a clear “sensitivity” on the subject of protection,
Simple answer: NO, you can’t count or even trust America, actually American has a long history of betraying its allies, from Noriega’s Panama to Soharto’s Indonesia, so let alone this time it’s Israel’s interests, and this is not a surprise.
The surprise is; the formation of a front of three Arab countries to block even an Arab initiative to solve the problem:
Attacks expose divisions in Arab governments
U.S.-allied nations such as Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and the Persian Gulf states, meanwhile, consider the group responsible for much of the violence
[And I will not say four because Iraq is an American colony]
But what these three sates have in common [assuming that Gulf States is only Saudi Arabia]?
Jordan
Military and security cooperation between Jordan and America turned into reality since 2002, Opening the door to the US special operations forces training and to perform assignments from Jordan, It allowed the National Security Agency NSA, CIA and US military to establish spying centers across the borders with Syria and Iraq.
The Jordanian intelligence operates secretly with the “Grey Fox” a shadowy US intelligence unite, Recently Jordan expanded it’s “hospitality? to the US intelligence unites by hosting secret US prison across the country.
Egypt
It’s the story we saw it over and over again in US history. US governments was and still totally silent about the extreme violation of human right in Egypt because Egypt is the “silent Arab partner?.
At the time of 11/9 there were two US military Central Commands in Egypt. US forces military-storages and kept air and naval bases under the US control, air bases like Cairo East and Cairo West, “Kuna? base Valley.
In 2001, Egypt was given the right of passage for more than 6250 air flight and 53 naval pieces.
Egypt, of course, receive 1,3 billion dollars of US military aid. Moreover, Egypt has purchased American jets F-14, F-16 and M-60 tanks no 3, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, , Apache helicopters, and air defence missile batteries, and spy planes, as well as other equipment.
The two countries share military exercises always requires sending large American military forces to Egypt. Egypt hosts once every two years “Shining Star”, the largest military exercise in the world.
Saudi Arabia
I must admit that the Saudi reaction wasn’t because their relation with the US only, but they were angery because of their investments in Lebanon.
Saudis are leading the “booming” prostitution business in Lebanon, with more than 20,000 prostitute “imported? from Russia and Ukraine into Lebanon by Saudi businessmen, now in ruins because of the war, 12,000 Saudis “sex tourists? evacuated from Lebanon 3 days ago [about similar number goes to other gulf states].
Saudi Satellite channels recently are reacting in defence of Israel more enthusiastically than the Zionists and the neocons themselves.
Don’t need to say anything about US-Saudi relationships because its stench is everywhere across the Internet, all you need is search
Lebanon is betrayed by Axis of evil Arab countries, when Arabs see America blocking the cease of fire resolution they used to this, but when they see Arab-states are allowing the murder of innocent people by the Zionist regime, this will be adding more spices to revolt and terror, and here is the first one:
I don’t want to write anymore, I don’t want to talk anymore, Palestine is bleeding, Lebanon is bleeding, The whole Arab Nation is bleeding. No words are worth being said, all I am thinking of is to find a way to get into the Homeland, to be there among my people and I will find that way.

The Lebanese need Israel to get rid of their terrorists for them. I am surprise, but most of the world seem to be on Israel’s side on this one. The Palestinians have been shooting rockets into Israel since they pulled out of Gaza. Any country in the world would have attacked them long ago if they shot rockets into their country as the Palestinians have been doing to Israel. I guess they proved Israel right. Israel said all along that they needed to be in Gaza to protect their citizens, and they were right.

Truth About Iraqis
Hey Ben, if we were to hold what you say is true, why does the US tolerate the Mehdi terrorist militia in Iraq? Or the Badr terrorist organization?
The US was supposed to have arrested or killed Muqtada. How can a country - a “fledgling democracy” - like Iraq survive if it
The US is an occupier in Iraq and yet terrorist groups operate there with nary a protest from the US military.
Sorry, apply all across the board. Or don’t.
Debbie, do you know how many Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed since Israel withdrew from Gaza? Or do you not care? Does it cause a dent in your philosophy?
And how about the fact the PNA begged the Israelis not to go for a unilateral withdrawal until some kind of agreement was reached with the Palestinians?
Were you there when Abbas warned that the unilateral withdrawal would strengthen Hamas?
Did you pick up the pieces left over from the bombed children on the beaches of Gaza two weeks ago? Hmmm?
No, so listen up, get your head out of your rear end, stop watching CNN and understand that there are two sides to the coin. Git?
At the very least, try and brush up on the number of Palestinian children who have died in the past few weeks. The Israelis call them collateral damage. The US media renders them fatherless, nameless, lifeless.
And for you, they are too inhuman to bother a mention.
Yes, we all condemn the killing of Israeli children. And all innocents. So why can’t you do the same for the Arab innocents.
Shame, shame. Such racist, imperialist drivel.

Truth About Iraqis
Debs,
In an interview for Democracy Now, Norman Finkelstein, Professor of Political Science at DePaul University in Chicago, compared the lethality of Israeli and Palestinian weapons: “Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in September 2005 ‘til today, the estimates run between 7,000 and 9,000 heavy artillery shells have been shot and fired into Gaza. On the Palestinian side, the estimates are approximately 1,000 Kassam missiles, crude missiles, have been fired into Israel. So we have a ratio of between seven and nine to one. Let’s look at casualties. In the last six months, approximately 80 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza due to Israel artillery firing. Now, on the Israeli side, we hear all of these terrible things about these Kassams. Even Shlomo Ben-Ami, yesterday on your program, who I respect, he said what’s Israel to do about these Kassams? What does the record show? I mentioned a moment ago, 80 Palestinians killed in six months. There have been exactly eight Israelis killed in the last five years from the Kassam missiles. Again, we have a huge disproportion, a huge discrepancy. Now, Josh says Israel has a responsibility to protect its citizens. I totally agree with that. But Hamas is the elected government of the Palestinians. They have a responsibility to protect their citizens. They have a responsibility to get back their 9,000 hostages. They have a responsibility to protect their Palestinian civilians, who are being daily attacked by Israel?.
