Barack Obama jilts Israel: Netanyahu on Third Temple in Jerusalem

The balance of power will always be on the Israeli side- Millions of dollars a year help fund them, they had at the last count 300 Nuclear weapons, While strangely enough Iran is threatened with Shock and awe because they are using the technology America sold them a few years ago.In 1983 America sold Saddam Chemical weapons, including cultures of Anthrax and Bubonic Plague-this got forgotten however when it was decided to take him out of play not once but twice, now the spent uranium from dirty bombs is causing chaos with newly born infants.If you want to see what has really happened, try and find Palestine on a map.[now where did that go....?]

When this video was first released in 1983 it quietly slid into oblivion. That changed when Iraq who had became America's friend turned into America's sworn enemy after Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in 1991. The footage has seen a more recent resurgence in popularity as government "Hawks" used Weapons of Mass destruction (WMDs) and the crimes of Saddam Hussein against his own people as reasons to overthrow his government. Critics like to use the video to illustrate how when Donald Rumsfeld was shaking hands with Saddam in 1983, it was when government intelligence knew he was using WMDs against Iran and his own people. So they argue why is America taking the moral stance now when as shown by this video the American government had no problems with him using WMDs and selling him the means to make WMDs then.

When the Iraq-Iran War broke out in September 1980 it was American policy to let the two nations fight it out. America had turned anti-Iran since the Iranian revolution and its the hostage crisis at the American embassy in Tehran. America had no love for Saddam in Iraq either, at the time it was part of the Soviet sphere of influence and backed terrorist attacks against the US's close ally, Israel.

This all changed when Iran started to make significant gains in the war. President Regan saw disaster if Iran's revolutionary government overran Iraq and created the National Security Decision Directive 114 on Nov. 26, 1983 that changed US policy from neutral observer to active supplier of military supplies, battle field intelligence, and most controversially dual-use technology that allowed Saddam to create WMDs. Howard Teicher, who served on Reagan's National Security Council described in sworn statements how, "CIA Director Casey personally spearheaded the effort to ensure that Iraq had sufficient military weapons, ammunition and vehicles to avoid losing the Iran-Iraq war,"
Special Envoy Rumsfeld

During his period as Reagan's Special Envoy to the Middle East (November 1983 – May 1984), Rumsfeld was the main conduit for crucial American military intelligence, hardware and strategic advice to Saddam Hussein, then fighting Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. Although the United States was hesitant to support a Soviet client state, the prospect of a greatly expanded Iran outweighed these concerns. His first visit was when this footage was taken, from December 19 – December 20, 1983. He and Saddam Hussein had a 90-minute discussion that covered Syria's occupation of Lebanon, preventing Syrian and Iranian expansion, preventing arms sales to Iran by foreign countries, increasing Iraqi oil production via a possible new oil pipeline across Jordan as Syria had shut down an Syrian-Iraqi pipeline after some Syrian-Iraqi disputes.

Later Rumsfeld would try and claim that in his "head to head" meeting with Saddam he brought up Saddam's use of Chemical weapons on the battlefield. However, Rumsfeld didn't discuss the issue with Saddam and instead brought it up at a later meeting with Tariq Aziz (Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister) in passing as part of a list of issues that "inhibited" US assistance.

Republican Presidential nomination

In 1988 when Rumsfeld made a short lived run for President he was quoted as saying that one of his great achievements while in office was to "reopen U.S. relations with Iraq." Even though by 1988 Iraq had been actively using chemical weapons against Iran and even his own people for years.
Golden Spurs

Rumsfeld didn't come empty handed on his trips to Iraq bringing a wide range of gifts from the Reagan administration including pistols, medieval spiked hammers even a pair of golden cowboy spurs. These were all displayed in at Saddam's Victory Museum in Baghdad, which held all the gifts bestowed on Saddam by world leaders.

maybe you think the New york Times, LA Times, and such are wrong, but criminal cases with .....................On September 8, 1988, the US Senate passed the Prevention of Genocide Act, which would have imposed sanctions on the Hussein regime. Immediately, the Reagan administration announced its opposition to the bill, calling it "premature". The White House used its influence to stall the bill in the House of Representatives. When Congress did eventually pass the bill, the White House did not implement it.

Washington's political, military and economic sweetheart deals with the Iraqi dictator came under even more stress when, in August 1989, FBI agents raided the Atlanta branch of the Rome-based Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) and uncovered massive fraud involving the CCC loan guarantee scheme and billions of dollars worth of unauthorised "off-the-books" loans to Iraq.

BNL Atlanta manager Chris Drougal had used the CCC program to underwrite programs that had nothing to do with agricultural exports. Using this covert set-up, Hussein's regime tried to buy the most hard-to-get components for its nuclear weapons and missile programs on the black market.

Russ Baker, writing in the March/April 1993 Columbia Journalism Review, noted: "Elements of the US government almost certainly knew that Drougal was funnelling US-backed loans--into dual-use technology and outright military technology. The British government was fully aware of the operations of Matrix-Churchill, a British firm with an Ohio branch, which was not only at the centre of the Iraqi procurement network but was also funded by BNL Atlanta... It would be later alleged by bank executives that the Italian government, long a close US ally as well as BNL's ultimate owner, had knowledge of BNL's loan diversions."

the list goes on, sorry.

May i suggest to everyone who want a palestinian state to check the facts before mouthing off. God Jehovah creator of this whole universe including the heavens and the  earth have declared in the book of Numbers chapter 34 verse 1 to 13 that this is the land that i give to the Israelites. Anyone who tries to divide this land will  have the wrath of Almighty God upon them.Israel may have nuclear weapons, never have they threatned to anihiliate any of their Arabs neighbours, in fact they have made concessions, gave away territories for the sake of peace ever since they came back to their land. May i remind you that for nearly 2000 years since the israelites have been scattered around the world as prophesied in the bible this land has been desolate, if the palestinians wanted it they could have had it, they didn't, and now all of a sudden they want the land that God has given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Let face the facts they don't want the land they just want to exterminate the Israelites, let me tell you something, it is not going to happen because God is with Israel, and if God is with Israel who can be against them. Remember the 6 day war in 1967, and what about Yom-kippur in 1973. If the Muslims want to attack Israel thay will have to fight with Jehovah God, Jehovah Ra-ah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Shalom. God urge us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
