Council on Foreign Relations

This story is most troubling.

A report by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations urged the Bush administration to stop any Israeli attempt to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. The council warned that such an Israeli attack would be blamed on the United States and hurt its interests in the region.

I'm astounded at the arrogance of these people on the CFR. First of all, they proclaim to know better than the nation of Israel on how it should protect itself. The Israelis should rightly tell the CFR to "shove it!" I'm confident that the people most qualified to determine what's in the best interest of Israel are the Israelis.

Secondly, President Bush should also tell the CFR to "shove it" and remind them that he doesn't work for them. The CFR should also be reminded that the nation of Israel is independent and the Israelis don't take orders from President Bush. And it should also be refreshed in the minds of the gilded glutei of the CFR that, as a sovereign nation, Israel has the right to act as they deem necessary for their defense and safety.

The report also states that if Israel acts against a threat in Iran, the United States will be blamed and our interests in the region will be hurt. What a stupid statement! The U.S. is always blamed for everything. Whether Israel acts or doesn't act has no bearing on whether the U.S. gets blamed. The U.S. is the world's blame receptacle. If anything happens, the U.S. is to blame. And if the international leftists forget to blame the U.S. for something, the home-grown American leftists will pick up the slack and make sure their accomplices in the media direct sufficiently emphasized blame on the U.S.

Lastly, it has to be mentioned that the interests of the U.S., Israel, and the world would be greatly helped if the theocratic leadership in Iran wasn't toying with nuclear weapons. I have no idea what you guys on the CFR are thinking. In any event, Interested-Participant thinks you should take your report and "Shove it!"
