When the first World War was in progress, different ethnic
groups in America
pressured their government to enter the war on the side of their preferred
causes.
Reluctantly, America
responded by participating in that war; ending as it happened on the winning
side. But given the brutality of that war, and given the high level of
casualties, many in America
vowed never to repeat the performance. A quarter century later, however, the
vow was forgotten when, in the Middle of the Second World War, America joined
a fight that was in progress throughout the hot spots of the Planet.
Yes, America
was provoked by the enemy when during the first war; the Germans attacked America 's
merchant ships. Yes, America
was provoked again when during the second war, the Japanese attacked America 's fleet anchored in Pearl
Harbor . And yes, the pressure of the local ethnic groups must have
played a role in making America
get over its reluctance, and enter the two wars. But that's not the whole
story.
The part of the story that is less well known is that Britain played an important role in convincing America it must enter the two wars on the side
of Britain
and its allies. But nothing can be said here that will show America was
ill-advised by the British. Where the problem begins, however, is when Winston
Churchill of Britain
exercised his influence on the Americans more than necessary. He did so when he
argued that they should stand in opposition to the Soviet
Union , a former ally.
That's what prompted America
to embark on a policy to contain the Communist World, thus starting the Cold
War that ended when the Berlin
wall fell. During that time, however, and during the interlude that followed, America paid a high price while Britain , Europe and a few others benefited
greatly from America 's
effort. This is when many around the world began to think of America as the
sucker that can be summoned to do the dirty work they would not do for
themselves. And so they called on the Americans to intervene on their behalf by
telling them what Churchill had told them previously, which is that their
national security was threatened. They must act now, they were advised, or
suffer the consequences of their inaction later on.
And no one benefited from that state of affairs more than
the Jews who labor on behalf of Israel .
You can see how they go about doing this by studying the piece which came under
the title: “Obama's Latest Iraq Escalation” and the subtitle: “The fight
against Islamic State needs more than 450 advisers.” It is an editorial that
appeared on June 11, 2015 in the Wall Street Journal, that flagship publication
which always reflects the thinking of the Jewish propaganda machine.
What better way is there to make your point forcefully than
to begin your argument by telling the American Administration that in sending
additional troops to fight in Iraq, it has admitted its timid strategy has so
far been a failure? And you follow this by saying that a mere 450 additional
troops will not be sufficient because what is needed are spotters to call in
air strikes, helicopters to provide air cover, special forces to conduct raids,
and at least a three-star general to command the whole enchilada.
That last point is important, say the editors of the
Journal, because the general must be “someone with the political clout that
made [previous Generals] so effective.” This said, the editors play the
armchair generals (or perhaps armchair admirals,) telling the Administration
what else will be needed. Talking about a training base in the Iraqi Anbar
province, they recommend that it be upgraded to become the headquarter for “a
combat brigade of some 4,000 heavily equipped soldiers.”
This said, they come back to the use of intimidation by
accusing the Administration of failing in the past because it did not do enough
to succeed. And so they warn that this time: “the fundamental problem with Mr.
Obama's strategy is that he is so determined to show that the U.S. isn't returning to war in Iraq that he
isn't doing enough to win the war we are fighting.”
They add to this the regular diet of reminding the President
what he said he will do but failed to deliver; that his fitful bombing and
timid special forces have not stopped the Jihadist advances; that Islamic State
is a threat to America. And they end with this: “Every day that ISIS holds its conquered territory … it becomes a greater
threat to American security.”
