In a recent press conference, the slimy and greasy Clintonista spokesman for the State Department, Nicholas Burns, expressed part of the independent foreign policy that the appeasers that infest the State Department are attempting to establish:
"The message to Iran is, we're not wishing to provoke a conflict with them, in fact we wish to have a peaceful relationship with Iran," Burns said, adding that the United States, would, however, defend its troops in Iraq if they came under attack. "I would say that the focus of our efforts should be on the following: to try to convince the Iranian government to play a more productive role, a more positive role to enforce civility in Iraq itself."
Nicholas Burns and the civil servants at the State Department have far more in common with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain than they do with the man who has been elected to direct foreign policy, US President George W Bush, who has freed more human souls than Josef Stalin butchered.
And now we are asking Iran to help enforce civility in Iraq? This is tripe directly out of the Iraq Surrender Group Report, not the clear anti-terror sponsor policy enunciated by the President.
The gains in the Global War on Terror have been made despite the best efforts of the US State Department to hamstring the progress of the war. In September 2003, the filth at State strangled the money supply to the US military at a critical juncture, in a petty bureaucratic struggle over who was going to run the reconstruction show in Iraq. No money for reconstruction was allowed to get to the people in Iraq who were to rebuild that nation, and the Iraqi people saw US advisors sitting on their asses, not doing a damn thing to help them recover from the war. As a result, the anti-US insurgency was born. The anti-US insurgency in Iraq has direct roots in the civil servants at the US State Department.
This is a bold statement, but this American is frigging fed up with the Clintonistas at State doing their best to cause the US mission in Iraq, to establish a stable, representative republic, fail. They are the policy arm of the Peacenik movement, and daily work diligently to stab US troops in the field right in their backs.
In a recent letter to a dear friend who took great umbrage to Burns' appeasement declaration, I stated the following:
"The appeasers over at the State Department would be negotiating today with the successors of Hitler's Third Reich rather than had us have fought the Second World War.
"One of President Bush's greatest failings, when he took office, was not firing each and every Clinton appointment at the State Department, the CIA, the Justice Department, and the Pentagon.
"However, he not only is a very forgiving and accepting man (to a fault, sadly), and then he had the 9/11 attack nine months into his Presidency. That consumed his time before his Administration had a chance to fully staff itself with new people. The Democrats controlled the Senate when Bush started his Presidency; it was really a 50/50 split, but the power-sharing agreements the Republicans signed on to in that first term really handed all power over approving the President's appointed advisors to the Democrats, and they were already out for blood to revenge Bill Clinton's well-deserved impeachment. They did everything they could do to slow down the appointments, and when 9/11/2001 came around, he had to freeze everyone in place and simply concentrate on the War.
"So, you had jerks like Valerie Plame at CIA doing her best to sabotage Bush's foreign policy regarding Iraq, and others like the schmucks you ran into at the State Department who scuttled your grant request, all working to sideline the War on Terror.
"I do not like Nicholas Burns in the least, and the State Department is doing its best to just maintain the Status Quo, and old-time hacks like James Baker and Lee Hamilton, who are up to their necks in Saudi money, argue for limitation and containment strategies. There is a firmly entrenched civil service Mafia in Washington, intent on just keeping the world situation as is, afraid of any change because they would all be forced to actually work for their big fat paychecks, and even worse, they would be cut out of the money the Wahabbist Saudis, the Iranian government, and other sleazy terror-supporting groups are spreading around to undercut President Bush.
"For all of his faults, at least the President abandoned the old policies of just getting along with brutal thugs and tyrants in Arab countries, and tried his best to start a movement to establish elected governments in the Arab world to replace besotted dictators and spoiled mandarin royal families. Problem is, those dictators and royal families had many US politicians bought and paid for, over decades, and many of the powerful in Washington built mansions on bribes and "donations to political campaigns", and established political dynasties, sending their spoiled children to Harvard on Saudi Wahabbist bribes.
"Nicholas Burns is not, let us be clear about this, is not stating the President's policy, he is stating the State Department's policy. We both know that the US, at least on the military and military intelligence side, is working to confront Iran. The civilians at State, in the CIA, and the civilian network within the Defense Department care only for their continued paychecks and their fat retirements.
"Don't let political hack jackasses like Nicholas Burns get you down.
"Here are some words I want you to read closely, and ponder them deeply. This is a quote by my favorite author of all time, John Roald Ruel Tolkien, author of "The Lord of the Rings". I have read the trilogy twenty-six times. He said of his book:
" '...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, forgotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160.'
"My dear friend, you and I are like Frodo and Sam bringing the evil Sauron to destruction while his attention is concentrated on the armies gathered on his doorstep. And there are thousands of us, the "small, ungreat, forgotten in the places of the Wise and Great", the voices who will never give up on freedom, and will not accept the civilians in the US government to allow the bloody handed bastards like Ahmadinejad to retain power.
"Our mission continues, and we do not falter, we do not blanch, we do not quail in the face of enemies of Freedom, be they in Tehran, or sitting on their bloated behinds at a desk in the State Department. Freedom only fails if the small, the ungreat, and the forgotten abandon their unforseen and unforseeable acts of will to bring down the Evil that man does to himself.
"Nicholas Burns is going to eat his words. I guarantee it."
Nicholas Burns and his Neville Chamberlain clones in the State Department can kiss this Cajun's rear end. This nation is NOT going to sit back and ask Iran to get involved in "civility in Iraq", this nation is going to work to bring the bloodthirsty scumbag Ahmadinejad and the bloated Mullahs who are perverting the religion of Islam to excuse their terror attacks on innocent women and children down.
When Mussolini was strung up by the heels in Milan, the Italian people did not ask permission from the US State Department (which, let us not forget, in 1944 was packed to the gills with Soviet spies) to depose Il Duce and hang him. Similarly, independent voices in the West are going to make sure Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs have their "Mussolini Moment" and see Iran returned to the people, and the State Department can sit and spin.
Nicholas Burns has had his "jump the shark moment".
It is high time that the voices of freedom at the State Department, and I know there are folks there who do want Iran's government brought down from within, stand up to the appeasement and status quo crowd and support this President.
Not a single civil servant at State ever received as much as one vote from the American People. George W Bush did. It's time that these Chamberlain clones realize that the President makes the policy, not some lifetime staffer coffee klatch with a grudge against Republicans and who would use the innocent Iranian people as a cudgel against the President and the US military.
