The Bush Doctrine: The Restoration Of The Caliphate?


It looks like that is turning out to be the plan. First, there is this from Epaminondas (in greater length a few posts down):


WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration plans to involve Iran in its exit strategy for Iraq and has decided not to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. Administration sources said President Bush has decided that barring a "catastrophic development," the United States would not attack Iran.

The sources said the administration has been conveying the decision to U.S. allies in the Middle East. "The United States has decided that Iran's cooperation was needed for a withdrawal from Iraq," an administration source said.

"There won't be a situation where there will be cooperation and then war with Iran."

The decision marks a rejection of more than two years of Israeli appeals for a U.S. military option against Iran.

The sources said Bush was swayed by his intention to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq as well as an intelligence assessment that an air strike would not destroy all or most of Iran's nuclear weapons facilities.

"The hidden message [to Israel] was that if we don't do it [strike Iran], you definitely don't do it," the source said.


Then, there's this. When you think about it, between the idiocy of the Israeli government and the pressure the Bush Administration puts on Israel to deal with the Hamas coalition, we now have a situation where Israel is now boxed in between three pro-Iran entities:


The law of unintended consequences continues to throw up more consequences that were not intended. Israel is now boxed in between three pro-Iran entities (Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas) and two pro-al Qaeda terrorist groups — Hezbollah that is dominant in Lebanon to the north and Hamas that now controls Gaza, the size of Washington, D.C., to the south.

Both are sworn enemies of the Jewish state. Hamas, a radical offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, first rose to prominence by planning and executing the first intifada against Israeli occupation in 1987. Like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas also runs welfare services for the poor, which in Gaza is almost the entire population of 1.5 million.

In 2006, Hamas startled the world and frightened Israel by winning legislative elections and seizing control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ministries. It refuses to deal with Israel and shares the conviction of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Israel's demise is preordained.


And, of course, under the Bush watch, we now have a situation where, due to our inaction on Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are also embarking on developing nuclear weapons. Because Bush has steadfastly refused to follow up on his own doctrine of no tolerance for terror-supporting states, we are faced with an ever-stronger Ummah, poised to destroy Israel, and then move on to the Iberian Peninsula.

Can everyone say, Andalusia?
Consider the results of our not having followed through on the original Bush Doctrine:
We tolerate a Hamas-led coalitional government, and a later Hamas coup d'etat of Gaza and
We tolerate Moqtada al-Sadr in Iraq, and he now controls 30% of the Iraqi Parliament and
We tolerate the assassination of the Lebanese President Hariri (who happened to be a Christian by the way), the Hizbollah war, and the gradual takeover of Lebanon by Hizbollah's forces, and

Yep......and Debka is reporting that the Russian made fuel rods reached the Bushehr reactor June 11th.

I think Bush is going to hide behind the cowardly "sanctions" ruse for the next 18 months, and leave office with the Iranian reactor running and their weapons program unmolested.... Gore or Kerry could have done as much.

So should I fall for the "all options are on the table" rhetoric I am hearing the current batch of Republican 08 hopefuls?.....How many times am I gonna fall for false bravado bullshit from out of touch elitists?

Why dont I just go ahead and vote for someone I know is a spineless coward up front to avoid this feeling of disappointment at crunch time?

What really sucks is that the current batch of bipartisan cowards will probably get to die of natural causes before the fruits of their cowardice vaporize DC.

......unless..... and I'm down to my last hope here.....someone else does the right thing.

There's seven other current holders of the nuclear flame, all of which are or will be within range of the Shiite Bomb before we will. If the Mullahs do proliferate an off the books devise it more than likely will find an Asian or European ground zero before it crosses those beautiful American controlled oceans.

You think Israel wont go down Swinging? If all of their stockpiles survive the first above ground test of the Islamic bomb.... then our problems will be over within a few minutes.....they will light up the region before the effects of radiation set in.

If the Paki Bomb (yeah I know they dont like to be called Pakis) were to fall into the hands of the Islamists shortly after they drag Musharraf's torso through the streets, I would be surprised if India preempted their use.

Jihadis can drive to Russia, France, Britain, and China. If a dirty bomb went off on their turf they might just conjure up the courage that evades our leaders....... So maybe, if we're lucky, our failure to do their dirty work now is a blessing in disguise. If we dont stop the Mullahs from gaining the tools to fulfill Allah's Will.... we might at least get the pleasure of seeing them used on those that opposed our efforts.

The Washington Times article neglected to include the US armed and trained Shia government of Iraq...which in truth, is merely a collection of Shiah militias and Iranian proxy organisations.

The Bush Administration has deliberately armed and trained Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE.....in preparation for the "Final conflict" against Israel. Only a retarded ostrich could view the situation in any other terms.

The Baker-Bush-Klintonites have wagered the bank on Mohammad's prophesies.

We have our own prophesies. Not one tent nor one Arab will remain in the Middle-East. Those who have followed Bush's Islamic vision have cursed themselves and their progeny for all [remaining]time.

(I know, you'll be able to talk your way out of it. Smooth talking and blaming your masters will cause the pearly gates to be thrown open to you and your do-nothing, jew hating families............WRONG!)

Pastorius said...

Michael,
I, and 95% of the Israel-supporting blogosphere have been Bush supporters this whole time. Are you telling us we're are damned?

Pastorius said...

Redneck Texan,
Thanks for thinking that through. I hope one of those alternatives does arise, because I am certain Allah's will (the destruction of tens of millions of human souls) will be accomplished eventually.

Michael Travis said...

Pastorius,

I assume that by now you have realised that you've been had. I don't belive for one instant that you would betray the United States, or support the war against Israel, even for profit or the chance of some strange eroto-tryst with the Bushes (As would the Limbaughs ("Israel and the Jews ruined the Dubai ports sale")and other greedy, brainless, perverts.)

Today everyone has enough proof of Bush's hatred for all things American, Christian, or Jewish. There can be no excuse for supporting that Benedict Arnold as he schemes to destroy our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Anyway..I am not the judge.

Call ex-secret service agent McTernan..you have his number. Read Hal Lindsay and Joel Rosenberg..then open the Bible (I know you do that often my friend) it's all there.

Pastorius said...

Well, the Bible does say something about Israel having an Eagle to support her, but it is also clear that in the Last Days, there will be no support.

So, I guess we're starting to see where we're at.

I was hoping we could avert that scenario by fighting the good fight.

Michael Travis said...

Well, after listening to the Atlas programme yesterday and considering the general misunderstanding regarding the cult of Islam....I think it's time for Pastorius to step up to the dinner plate and devote an Infidel Radio Show to clearing up this mess.

One or two Imams...real ones, not former rappers, should prove to be very interesting guests for the weekly intellectual broadcast.

Pastorius said...

Have any in mind?

By the way, Pamela and I talked about this issue this morning. We are on the same page. She has even more information than do I over at her site. And, she included a link to this post in her top post of the day.

Pastorius said...

Note to commenter President Ahmedinejad:

Your comment was too long-winded. Leave your propaganda and lists of links in smaller bursts and I will consider leaving them up here at IBA.

I am certainly not afraid of anyone learning MORE about Islam.

Epaminondas said...

It doesn't matter folks, in the end, who or what the prez is.

In the end there will be no other alternative left.

And then there is this;

Call me Mr.Pastorius.....I have one of the finest Islamic Scholars for you........Atlas also if she wishes.

Hearing about the cult from those who've been recruited while in prison, or from soft and squishy liberals....is a pure waste of time.You and your co-conspirator Futurefellow....can do better.

The Muslim who called in to Pam's show also called in to the June 1 segment of the Gathering Storm show that is co-hosted by WC and Always On Watch. He didn't get the chance to ramble on both occasions, but it was clear from what he said in his June 1 appearance (e.g., that there is no Umma) that it was going to be a propaganda session.

"And this is the plague with which Jehovah Doth plague all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem, He hath consumed away its flesh, And it is standing on its feet, And its eyes are consumed in their holes, And its tongue is consumed in their mouth."

Zechariah 14:12

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes

1 Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. 5 You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!
6 In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. 7 For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light.
8 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

God Will Be King over All

9 And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one.
10 All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.
12 Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13 It will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another. 14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15 So also like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.
16 Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them. 18 If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
