Obama Offers to Arm Israel For War Against Iran
President Obama is offering Israel bombs to not attack Iran in 2012. Let me rephrase that. The U.S. is giving Israel the bombs they can use to attack Iran next year. This action is less of a strive for peace and more of a call to prepare and gather weapons before they invade. It is likely that war with Iran is on the horizon. The people of Iran will be forced to pay for the sins of the rulers of these powerful countries.
Giving bombs to the country that wants to invade and start a war is not a way to bring peace, it is a way to prepare for war. The double speak is seen in the idea of ‘not to attack in 2012′ as if they are preventing conflict. The sad reality is that this is not the case however much some would like you to believe it.
Is this the U.S. saying we’ll arm you and help you but it can’t be done until after our elections? Are there people gullible enough to see arming the country who is begging to aggressor on another as an act of peace?

I am a writer at Gonzo Times. I started the site up some years ago. The site would not be what it is today without my fellow contributors. I read, write and paint. I am the maternal figure in my children's lives. I cook a lot and consider myself a pretty good vegan chef. I am really interested in the history of Anarchism and classical Anarchist writers.
