On the Moonbat blogsites they are now asserting that the US (read Bush and Cheney) planned the entire war with Israel before the two Israeli soldiers were captured and were simply waiting for the next provocation to attack Lebanon. Seymour Hersh (you were expecting someone else?) has been the primary promoter of this assertion and the idiot nutroots have bought his BS hook, line, and stinker.
To the “netrooters,” America is the enemy, the bad guy, and the Islamic Jihadists their heroes. Hizbollah was just innocently sitting around minding their own business-torturing captured Israeli soldiers-and evil old Israel attacked them without cause at America’s behest. Even better, Israel is doing this so that America can execute an attack against Iran at a later date. The nutrooters claim Hizbollah will have used up all of its missiles, so they won’t be able to attack Israel in response to the US attack on Iran. Now let’s get this straight, the Israelis goad Hizbollah into an attack now so that they will not attack later? You mean like in later when the Israelis would be better prepared? As in later when Iran (and Syria presumably, if the scenario was true) would be so preoccupied with surviving that they would be far less capable of supporting Hizbollah?
Honestly folks, I’m couldn’t make this stuff up. These DUers truly believe this to be true. To call them “insane” is to do an injustice to the fine folks who inhabit our mental health institutions.
The truth is that Israel and America probably did have contingency plans and the Israeli Defense Force would have been negligent had they not been prepared for this eventuality. At some point, when a mosquito repeatedly bites you, you are going to swat it. When that mosquito has the money, training, and international backing that Hizbollah has, then the victim of that bite had better be prepared to strike. This is a concept which escapes Liberals like those “DUers” and “Kossacks.” They seem incapable of comprehending the concept of preparedness, and believe that any plan made by our government or that of Israel, has no purpose except that of evil aggression against our “innocent, peace-loving” opponents.
For a real gander at the culmination of this sort of lunacy, I highly recommend that you find a copy of Mike Wallace’s recent interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and watch it. His take on old Mahmoud is precisely the sort of reaction that you will find in these Nutrooters.
Most interesting of all is a careful reading of Seymour Hersh’s article. It doesn’t precisely say what the DUers claim it says. That is what happens when one reads an article with the jaded eyes of an unapologetic, and uninformed, Bush Hater. When you hate without even a good rationale for your hatred, it blinds you to any truth and you begin to see only what you expect to see, therefore any plans made by Israel and/or America become a “plot” or a “trap” for the opposing side rather than simple good defensive planning.
It must be miserable beyond understanding to live your life under such crushing fear and paranoia that you see a plot everywhere you look. At dailyKos and DU that is a chronic condition for hundreds of members. They see Karl Rove’s hand everywhere, Dick Cheney’s influence in every policy.
The Left-wing moonbats believe we, America, are wrong and Hizbollah are heroes for standing up to Israel and by inference us. President Bush is evil and is busy undermining our Constitution so that he can establish, variously, a Theocracy, Aristocracy, Dictatorship, Empire, Kingdom, and most interestingly only they, the readers and writers of these extremist Left-wing paranoiac blogs can see this occurring. The rest of the people are to stupid or disinterested to notice. That’s why these superior type individuals call the rest of us the “amerikan sheeple” [sic].
Funny how insane people believe that only they understand what’s going on around them, while the rest of the world and its people don’t see it or understand it. Talk about losing perspective.
So there you have it, if you believe that America is great and doing good things, and that Hizbollah and al Qaeda are evil and doing bad things, then you are the miscreants to the new Left (You know, they are not much different from the old Left, only younger and less wise).
