Those who thought of themselves as gods of the universe sat
together one day in New York and the District of Columbia to remind each other that Iraq was a
rising power that was neither Jewish nor Jewish influenced. They decided that America will have to destroy the country as soon
as an excuse will present itself, and so they put together a plan to attack and
destroy Iraq
when the time will come.
The plan sat on the shelf for something like a decade till a
false excuse presented itself and America
set out to destroy Iraq .
The outcome has been that the false gods were shown to be mediocre sorcerers
who got everything wrong. We now have the apprentice of those sorcerers telling
us how much America
has lost for taking the advice of charlatans. He put it like this: “We have
clearly failed. After more than 13 years of war, with thousands of Americans
dead, tens of thousands of Americans wounded, and several trillion dollars
spent, the U.S.
and its allies are losing the war.”
The apprentice is Newt Gingrich, telling the part of the
story he knows, and a few other things. He does that in an article he wrote
under the title: “Why We're losing to Radical Islam” and the subtitle:
“Fourteen years after 9/11, we still lack a strategy. Congress should lead with
hearings on the enemy and how to prevail.” It was published on January 15, 2015
in the Wall Street Journal. And guess what, my friend. The apprentice is
following in the footsteps of his masters in that he put together a plan that
will duplicate the failures of the past. If taken up, it will lead America into
another adventure that will turn out to be as disastrous as the previous.
The essence of the mistake that the old sorcerers made was
to have picked a country (Iraq )
for destruction because it was a rising power that would stand in the way of Israel
having a free hand to live off its Middle Eastern neighbors the way that Jews
have lived for centuries in that neighborhood and in other neighborhoods. This
is how Gingrich started his article: “The United
States has been at war with radical Islamist terrorism
for at least 35 years, starting with the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran .” Instead of Iraq , it is Iran that is the rising power now,
the one that will have to be destroyed when all will have been said and done.
To make his point, the apprentice begins with a message of
extreme incitement. It is this: “The U.S. and its allies must now design
a strategy to match a global movement of radical Islamists who sincerely want
to destroy Western Civilization … Congress should lead the way.” And he tells
the Congress to do its thing in three steps. The first is to hold hearings and
investigate seven areas of the enemy's characteristics, among which would be
the Iranian funding of the Islamist movement, and the possible Iranian
retaliation against the cyber attack that America
and Israel unleashed on Iran 's nuclear
installations.
The second step would be to decipher the “enemies' strategic
thinking and doctrine,” he says. To show how important a step this would be, he
cites an example that took place seven decades ago when George Kennan outlined
the nature of Soviet communism; an analysis that shaped America 's policy toward the Soviet
Union during the decades that followed. Likewise, Gingrich wants
the Congress to investigate what “historic patterns, doctrines and principles
drive the radical Islmists” because, he says, they dream of “slaughtering us.”
The third step would be to “hold hearings on strategies for
achieving victory.” To this end, he suggests that the Congress should form a
commission of the wisest witnesses it heard, and charge them with designing a
national strategy for winning the war.” If necessary, that strategy will have
to become part of the 2016 presidential campaign. Well, nothing of what
Gingrich has suggested is complete or definitive therefore can be taken one way
or the other.
Nevertheless, the trouble with Newt Gingrich is that he is
the guy who said something to this effect: Palestine ? What Palestine ? I see no real Palestine ;
only an invented Palestine .
It was judged at the time that he could not see what was there because he was
seeing what was not there. He just proved this theory by describing a world
that exists only in his sick mind.
