Barack and Hillary – Starting the Next War With Iran Before Even Finishing the Last One With Iraq

Since this month features this quarter’s five-week gap between meetings, what more fun could we have than to tackle another quiz??? (Answers to both last week’s quiz and this week’s quiz will be included with next week’s e-mail.)

1. What was the first attack on American sovereign soil after Pearl Harbor??? (Hint = it was NOT the first Al Qaida attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 during President Clinton's first year in office). Who was the leader of the pre-1993 attack on American soil???

2. Judging from one of Tom Hanks lines as Charlie Wilson in "Charlie Wilson's War" written by Aaron Sorkin (Hanks was the producer) on which we focused briefly for our Feb 14th discussion on "The Best Government Money Can Buy" (please see the Feb 14th reference materials on this bulletin board), what would Aaron Sorkin and Tom Hanks probably say was the reason why Barack Obama stated during the Pennsylvania debate: "our first step should be to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iranians...I will take NO OPTIONS off the table when it comes to preventing them from...obtaining nuclear weapons..."???

3. From our discussion of "Is War With Iran Inevitable" on December 13th, what is another just-as-important reason for the current "dust up" with Iran???

4. How does this all relate to the Administration's revelation this past week of the Syrian uranium-enrichment facility built by the North Koreans (which, of course, subscribers to this newsletter already knew was destroyed by Israeli war planes back on September 6th - please see item 2 of the Dec. 13th topic description)???

5. MacNeil-Lehrer's initial report on the Administration's Syrian revelation mentions that 22 key Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders had been briefed last fall on this intelligence. Why do you think the Administration didn't limit this briefing to "The Gang of Eight" that is featured so prominently in Lichtblau's book that we are reading???

6. How many intelligence briefings did the "Gang of Eight" receive during the 15-month period between 9/11 and the famous Congressional resolution to authorize the use of force against Saddam Hussein???

7. Hillary has stated in the Pennsylvania debate that if Iran goes nuclear, we must put Israel and the "Gulf State Five" under America's nuclear umbrella. Several times in the past we have discussed in passing Pulitzer-Prize winner Seymour Hersh's “The Samson Option” which described (a) Israel’s nuclear-weapons program, (b) how prior to the 1973 attack by Egypt, Israel had a policy that if it ever had fewer than 24 hours to go until annihilation it would fire its nuclear missiles which incidentally were AIMED AT RUSSIAN CITIES RATHER THAN ARAB CAPITALS, (c) how the Israeli cabinet believed they were within 24 hours of annihilation by Syria during the 1973 war because Israel had been rationing its ammunition vis-à-vis which Henry Kissinger had been refusing to re-supply Israel for 12 months, and (d) how the Israeli cabinet decided to fire their nuclear missiles AFTER firing a telex to Kissinger giving him a “heads up” on what would be “going down” within a matter of minutes. Kissinger, according to Seymour Hersh, responded immediately that the Israelis should begin firing their conventional ammunition “as if there were no tomorrow” and that American re-supply planes would take off at dawn. The Israelis did, the Syrian lines stabilized, and Israel did not become the answer to a trivia question (What WAS Israel???). So if Israel followed the philosophy of General/President Charles de Gaulle when he withdrew France from NATO and developed his own nuclear weapons that America’s nuclear umbrella is NOT credible and only French nuclear weapons would stop Russian tanks from rolling to the Atlantic, what makes Hillary think that the “Gulf State Five” will be more gullible than the French and the Israelis???

8. For history buffs who like to "scratch their heads" over the Jewish Bible prophecies regarding the "Battle of Armageddon" - (a) where is Armageddon??? (b) does the Jewish Bible description of the Battle of Armageddon (which it does not name but St. John does in writing about the Jewish prophecy in Revelations) have to involve a nuclear holocaust??? (c) does the prophecy appear likely, considering that we are soon likely to see Iran, Syria, and each of the "Gulf State Five" become nuclear powers in the near future???

AND TWO TRIVIA QUESTIONS FOR EXTRA CREDIT –

1. Of the two most famous Harvard Law School professors (Laurence Tribe who, among other things, represented Al Gore in ALL THREE U.S. Supreme Court cases dealing with the 2000 Florida vote - and Alan Derschowitz who seems to pop up everywhere), for which did Barack Obama serve as a research assistant as a first-year student??? What was the reaction of the famous professor toward Barack's work???

2. Of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's congregation of 8,000, who is even more famous than Barack Obama???
