Events are moving rapidly now. The whole world is seeing clearly that Bush's ship has been hit by a dozen silkworm missiles. The Saudi and Jordanian Kings have both cancelled state visits with Bush and Condi has suddenly left the Middle East empty handed. And Pakistan is buying Chinese weapon systems.
From the Washington Post's stable of unstable warmongering pundits:
By Jim Hoaglandthe White House ponders what Abdullah's sudden and sparsely explained cancellation of the dinner signifies. Nothing good -- especially for Condoleezza Rice's most important Middle East initiatives -- is the clearest available answer.
Last month, Saudi Arabia's ambassador suddenly packed his bags, refused to pay expenses of all the leeches selling him their services and departed. I reported that the Royals had decided to cut out of the line of succession, the ally of bin Laden, a royal who hates corruption and hates seeing his relatives playing poodle to a bunch of crusading Christians.
I said, 'There must be rumbles of a palace coup.' And so it is: the previous king was assassinated by a nephew and this was a possible CIA action because King Faisal decided to not pump out all the oil as fast as possible, he was a well-informed man and knew all about the Hubbert Oil Peak which happened a mere two years earlier in the USA before his assassination.
I wonder, did a family member try to kill the present king? That corpulent, ugly man certainly has enemies within the family. More than one Saudi royal believes bin Laden is a manifestation of the Prophet. Indeed, half of the 9/11 attackers came out of Saudi Arabia.
The king's sudden turn-around is due to many factors. Most of which are interfamilial. The fear of assassination is growing for he knows his own body guards could do the deed, he really can't trust anyone. This is why Bandar had to suddenly fly home and exert himself.
From the WP:
Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi national security adviser, flew to Washington last week to explain to Bush that April 17 posed a scheduling problem. " 'It is not convenient' was the way it was put," says one official.
Ah, an inconvenient truth! Something very peculiar is going on. I don't know what Putin, Hu and the various kings in the Middle East are saying to each other but I do know the ultimate game plans for Hu and Putin. So I am assuming, there is some sort of secret accord here. Russia is very, very, really hugely pissed off about the missiles in former Warsaw pact countries.
Russia is also a fulcrum point of the value of oil. Just two months ago, the King of Saudi Arabia claimed he was going to overpump his dying oil fields to deliberately drop the price of oil worldwide and thus, disarm Iran.
I would have dearly loved to have eavesdropped on Putin and Saudi King when they met recently! Since then, the price of oil has steadily climbed again. Hu already explained to Abdullah that the American economy depends on Chinese savings and that China was no longer bulking up its FOREX reserves but would instead, spend it. And they expect trade with the USA to begin contracting...forever.
Two Xiaolong fighters give aerobatic performance on Pakistan Day, March 23, 2007 in Islamabad. Pakistan is to acquire 150 Xiaolong fighters to replace its current F-7 fighters. This year the first batch of eight Xiaolong fighters, priced at approx. eight million USD each, will be delivered to Pakistan.
One of the very few export items that is value-added is military junk we sell our 'allies'. Pakistan has been one of our biggest buyers. Of course, this is no great benefit to our FOREX reserves because we have to extend loans to do these sales. Israel, a country with a very big FOREX reserve, forces us to offer them Japanese-style 0% loans to buy military equipment.
Now the Chinese are not only undercutting us, they are cutting us out, entirely, from these markets. Saudi Arabia pays a fortune in cash for American military equipment and we won't sell them the neat toys we sell on credit to Jews in Israel! They have always resented this and now I bet they will be buying much cheaper and just as good, Russian and Chinese models.
If Boeing loses all these sales, we go belly up. Right now, the UAE is buying Boeing but for how much longer? Even they, today, have slammed the door shut on our greedy fingers. As we claim we are patrolling the Gulf on their behalf, they are saying, 'Nope.'
From the Washington Post:
But Rice will get no relief when she returns to Washington. She will have to deal with more depressing society news: Jordan's King Abdullah, who has spent more time in George W. Bush's Washington than any other foreign leader, has let the White House know that he can't make that state visit discussed for September. Can you do 2008? the king asks instead.
The King of Jordan already has stuck out his neck when he hosted the various parties from Iraq, trying to stop the bloodshed there. Now, he has to turn back to his own lands to confront the Israelis yet again as they are still smarting from their defeat in the hands of Hezbollah and the loss of support in nearly all lands across the earth these days.
Thanks to the internet, the interdiction of real news from Palestine has ended and finally people can get some news and the hidden crimes are now out in the open. When the European and American empires all conspired to embargo and starve the Palestinians just because they voted in an election!!!! This joint attempt at eradicating these stubborn people has backfired. And since all the people across the Islamic world can plainly see this is a colonialist conspiracy to extend the powers of the imperialists of Europe and America, hatred is growing and proof of this is obvious to anyone: we are losing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Condi Rice was supposed to be on this hot-shot mission that has been shot down today by the Israelis allowing the settlers to re-occupy Palestinian lands they promised to vacate.
By the time Rice left the region it was revealed that the ‘negotiations’ between Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas will not include the three core issues - Jerusalem, refugees and borders. Instead of going from Jerusalem to Riyadh, Rice went back to Washington. She realised that she had nothing to offer the Arab leaders summit, says Gilad Atzmon.
She basically was told, the gates were shut. There was no point in talking anymore. She didn't turn around and tell the Israelis to knock it off. She just went home. This woman who loves to wear Darth Vader boots and who was toasted by the press when she started out for 'dressing to power' was always a quavvering voiced coward who barks only when she can, a miniature doberman, yapping until kicked.
Will she tell us the truth? Will anyone in the American media tell the truth? Will Congress? Will hell freeze over?
The stand-off over those sailors continues. It was launched on a magic number day and it sits there, cooking away. The hopes of Bush and Blair that this would motivate all the kings and despots to support the bombing of Iran has now turned to dust. If we still insist on doing this, the economic consequences will be most severe. And the Russian bear will laugh all the way to the bank.
Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday that Britain must admit that its 15 sailors and marines entered Iranian waters in order to resolve a standoff over their capture by the Mideast nation.
This is easily resolved. Britain can apologize and say pretty please and not go sailing merrily about, boarding ships. If they just moved about, probably nothing would have happened. But Blair's claim he has this pirate's map showing the boundries in the Gulf is sheer garbage since Britain has no right to sail anywhere in that neighborhood except if asked. And they can't claim the government of Iraq asked them since they invaded and all the polls show the vast majority of people there want them GONE. Knowing this, the Iranians know they are in the right and Britain is in the wrong in a most basic way.
Apologizing is good practice. Next, maybe Britain will return the Elgin Marble and all the stuff they looted from the Winter Palace in Beijing.
