The Chevron website says the committee’s purposes include “identifying, evaluating and monitoring social, political and environmental trends, issues and concerns”, “analyzing how public policy trends could impact business activities and performance. Dr. Rice never discussed the Iraqi bribes on the record (not in the minutes) at company meetings. That should not surprise anyone who is familiar with her lack of response to 911 warnings.

President Clinton put sanctions on Iraq. Actions by Chevron and Rice clearly violated those sanctions and amount to treason. I urge our new Attorney General Michael Mukasey and California Attorney General Jerry Brown determine who at Chevron authorized the millions in bribes.

How about if you answer whether the infamous “right of return” was just another attempt by the Palestinians to impose their demographically – advantaged population in the attempt to eventually take over Israel? That sounded an awful lot like a “system of apartheid of Palestinian dominance” to my ears.

“You can call me an anti-zioinst any day, but you can not accuse me of being a Jew hater.”

OK, you often sound quite a lot like a self – loathing Jewish man in your posts. Or is that just another wayward sentiment from my “sensitive mind?”

For that matter, shouldn’t Iraq? Isn’t that what we’re fighting and dying for? Yet you oppose the Iraq War….hmmm….very strange….

What I meant by “a system of apartheid of Jewish dominance” is the state of Israel, since that is its stated objective, and not as your sensitive minds might have lead you to believe that I am an Jewish hater or an anti-semite. I am a semite myself. You can call me an anti-zioinst any day, but you can not accuse me of being a Jew hater. That’s equivelant to equating anti-aparthied with anti-white. That’s simply rediculous.

What I am after is to see a solution where all Jews and non-Jews are living equally under the law in a state with a written constitution that have a bill of rights similar to ours here in the US. Period.

John Keegan is indeed great.

Condi’s speech: I’m not a Michael Savage fan, but I caught him for a minute or two on the radio this evening. He was (rightly) merciless on Rice’s speech, and said she “is in over her head”.

After today, I’m not so sure I don’t agree.

I don’t really give a rat’s A what the people of Lebanon think of the Israelis. So the good people of south Lebanon are returning to their bombed houses; tragic, but in their grief they no doubt forget that their Hizbollah heroes were firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel from their back yards. They are the ones who tacitly supported the terrorists, and they can lump it.

“Israel’s wars of aggression”? If you think that Israel is the aggressor here, it says much more about you than it does about the record of history. Go back in time to the day before the recent war started, and imagine the situation reversed: how long would we have to wait for Israel to launch a border raid, kill 8 Hizbollah soldiers and kidnap two? And then proceed to launch unguided missiles at random into Lebanon? All with no previous provocation.

How long would you have to wait? Longer than you or I will live.
