Anything specific listed on the topic of a credible PAC or front group for PACs that I could contribute to for the counterbalance of AIPAC’s influence on our foreign policy?
Looking for an effective pro-U.S. foreign policy PAC
rather than an Arab rights only PAC.

Islamofascism isn’t even a coherent term. It’s a made-up conflation intended to inflame.

Radical Islam has its own problems but it is not fascist, that’s a different thing entirely.

For a definition of what fascism really is you can study the history of Mussolini’s period.

For folks like Marycatherine and Graeme who are oh so eagar to jump to Syria’s defense, here are some facts you ought to chew on regarding this Islamic-Faschist nation.

First, Syria ATTACKED Israel in 1967 and 1973 in wanton aggression. If people say otherwise they are distorting history.

Second, here are some facts from Human Rights Watch on Syria:

Women must get their husbands permission to travel and a rapist can have a suspended sentence if he chooses to marry his victim. Leniency is shown for “honor” crimes where a wome who is raped gets murdered by her male relatives for shaming the family.

300,000 syrian born Kurds are subjected to systmatic discrimination.

There is arbitrary detention, torture, and “disappearences” of political dissidents and over 4,000 political prisoners remain locked up. The governement strictly limits freedom of the press, association, and assembly.

Its funny, so many of you are so quick to jump on Israel and the United States for alleged human rights abuses, but I don’t see that same sense of outrage for the arab muslim nazi movement. Instead of outrage you run to defend these disgusting regimes and the Muslim radicals that support them.

DEBKAfile is the zionist equivalent of the Weekly World News.

What?!?!? You should be subscribing to American Conservative yourself! It is the best magazine in the country (well-chronicles is up there, too!)
At any rate– I’l go dig up and paraphrase what he had to say, but I’m sure Scott Horton will interview him again sooner or later to cover this…

In response to Tim: Learn your facts please.

“Moshe Dayan, the celebrated commander who, as Defense Minister in 1967, gave the order to conquer the Golan…[said] many of the firefights with the Syrians were deliberately provoked by Israel, and the kibbutz residents who pressed the Government to take the Golan Heights did so less for security than for the farmland…[Dayan stated] ‘They didn’t even try to hide their greed for the land…We would send a tractor to plow some area where it wasn’t possible to do anything, in the demilitarized area, and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn’t shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance further, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot.

And then we would use artillery and later the air force also, and that’s how it was…The Syrians, on the fourth day of the war, were not a threat to us.’” The New York Times, May 11, 1997

Bjorn,

Can you post what Gilraldi had to say on this? I wondered about this possibility myself and am curious to see what else he may add. Thanks.

This DEBKA analysis is an absurdity based solely on temporal circumstances that are not even certain, namely the timing of the ‘raid’ and the supposed date of delivery of the Pansyr S-1 air defense system. But in their haste to show off their intelligence prowess, these armchair analysts seem to have overlooked a simple military fact. The Pansyr is a tactical theater air defense weapon with limited range. It is not a strategic defense system and could by no means be used to defend the extent of Syria’s national territory. To accomplish that, the Syrians would have purchased the A- 300 SAM . Since a battery of Pansyr can only defend a limited area and considering the limited numbers purchased by Syria, they will be deployed very judiciously in the war theater, and they will deprive Israel the air supremacy that it requires to win any battle, even against lightly armed Palestinians or the more accomplished guerrilla fighters of Hizballah.

In response to Mark Williams, the groups that want to stop this simply lack the muscle to alter the political landscape sufficiently to have any effect. The closest that those groups have come is the candidacy of Ron Paul, who has a substantial war chest – but not as substantial as Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, or Romney. Certainly those groups (which combined are a majority of the populace) lack the physical strength to change the leadership in nontraditional ways.
