	You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
	The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
	And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
	Welcome back to the second hour of tonight's live radio broadcast of the Political Cesspool.
	I'm your host, James Edwards, Keith Alexander, co-hosting with me in our flagship studio tonight as we go out to the AMFM affiliates of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online to a worldwide audience at thepolitical cesspool.org.
	I'm very excited about what we're going to be able to present to you, ladies and gentlemen, this hour with Mark Weber and Kevin McDonald a little later on joining us as our featured guests this evening.
	Mark Weber is indeed on the line with us right now.
	He is the director of the Institute for Historical Review and an authority on the politics of the Middle East as well as American foreign policy.
	And I think that the situation ongoing in Syria right now made Mark's presence on tonight's show a must-have.
	Mark, welcome back.
	I know you were just with us a couple of weeks ago, so I'm glad we could get you back on in such short order.
	Thank you very much, James.
	It's a pleasure, and thank you for your very kind words.
	Well, all very much deserved and earned, my friend.
	Let's just start from the beginning, if we can, Mark, for the sake of people who perhaps have been relying on the mainstream media or the establishment media to provide them with the quote-unquote facts about what's going on in Syria.
	Let's back up to the very beginning.
	What really is going on in Syria?
	And let's just follow the logical progression from that to where we are currently with the president lobbying Congress to offer a declaration of war.
	Right.
	It's important to put this in a little context.
	The fighting in Syria began a little over two years ago.
	And at the time, the American media, and particularly President Obama and many others in the United States, presented this as a popular democratic uprising against a tyrannical dictatorial regime of President Assad.
	And the expectation of Bush was, and of many others, that very soon the Assad government would fall, much as regimes in Egypt and elsewhere had also fallen.
	But in fact, Obama kept on saying that Osa Assad has got to go.
	He will go.
	It's not a matter of weeks.
	It's a matter of days.
	And here it is a little more than two years later, and he's still in power.
	That's typical of the miscalculations that Obama has made.
	But it's very important to remember, and not many people emphasize this point, that the uprising against Assad or the civil war is not a spontaneous uprising.
	It was fomented and promoted long before, several years ago, before the actual fighting broke out.
	And in that regard, it's very interesting.
	Just a few months ago, a former French foreign minister, Roland Dumas, made this point explicitly in an interview.
	He emphasized that he had talked with British officials and others who emphasized that the fighting in Syria, the effort to overthrow the government, goes, as he puts it, way back.
	It was prepared, preconceived, and organized.
	And he said, and people ask, well, why?
	What's the reason?
	And this is the important point.
	It's part of a larger campaign in support of Israel to overthrow every regime in the region that doesn't play ball with the United States or Israel.
	That means Syria, that includes Iraq, and of course it includes Iran.
	And former minister Roland Dumas made this point, and he quoted a British, excuse me, an Israeli prime minister who told him privately, he said, We'll try to get on with our neighboring state, that is Israel, but those who don't get along, we will take them down.
	And this has to be kept in context.
	The discussion in the media about chemical weapons or not or who used them or what they were or Obama's red line misses the larger point.
	The larger point is that this is part of a larger campaign against any government and any regime and any force in the area that is regarded by Israel as an adversary.
	Right there, ladies and gentlemen, from Mark Weber, you got more truth in the last two minutes than you've gotten on CNN, Fox, MSNBC combined in weeks' worth of coverage.
	And Mark, you're exactly right.
	You're exactly right.
	This is just another police state action on behalf of Israel.
	Of course, America's saying that it's because of the horror that 1,300 people, maybe a couple of thousand people were gassed there.
	Well, if we were so concerned about that, we would be in absolutely every sub-Saharan African country serving as their policeman as well if it was just the fact that a governmental regime is inflicting acts like this on their citizenry.
	America has interests in this region that obviously exactly parallel that of Israel's.
	And I want to quickly, I know Keith's ready to ask you a few questions and we want to get to him.
	I want to read this from Pat Buchanan.
	You know, Pat Buchanan was on in 2008 to promote his book, Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War.
	You were actually on that very same show immediately after Pat was on.
	And anyway, I'm going to connect the dots here with this passage from Buchanan's most recent column on Syria.
	He writes that gas is a sickening weapon, yet there is no evidence thus far that Assad ordered its use.
	Rebel elements are said to have been found with sarin.
	As for Americans who tend to prefer white phosphorus, napalm, and cluster bombs, upon what lofty moral ground do we stand?
	Have we forgotten that Churchill wanted to drop anthrax on Germany before settling for two days of firebombing the defenseless city of Dresden?
	Great questions, Bob Buchanan.
	How do you answer this, Mark, in terms of the obvious hypocrisy with Americans?
	I would make two points about poison gas.
	First of all, the so-called indignation about poison gas is completely hypocritical.
	It's important to remember that during the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran, Iraq used poison gas, killing far, far more people.
	And the American attitude at that time was not to attack Iraq, it was to help Iraq.
	During the war against Iran, when Iraq was using poison gas, the United States gave monetary aid and intelligence support to Iraq during that time, knowing Iraq was using chemical weapons.
	And then Deputy Defense Secretary Rumsfeld even flew to Iraq during that time to underscore America's support for Iraq.
	This talking about chemical weapons misses the larger point of the overall reason for this conflict.
	More than that, if, even if, a country uses poison gas and it's outrageous, America has no mandate by anybody to enforce international law.
	If international law can be enforced by anybody, then Russia, for example, could bomb Tel Aviv because Israel is violating international law continually in its occupation of Palestine and in its own illegal nuclear arsenal.
	The United States doesn't have any mandate from anybody to be a world policeman, a global cop.
	And the Americans have become very, very tired of the claim that every time the United States leaders say we've got to intervene, we're supposed to be the cop that goes in and the results are always very disappointing.
	Okay, thank you, Mark.
	This is Keith Alexander.
	I'm chomping a bit to ask you some questions, but we've got to get a few words in here by our sponsors.
	We'll be back with more of Mark Weber after these words.

	And now, back to tonight's show.
	Okay, Mark, this is Keith Alexander, James' co-host.
	I don't think we've ever spoken before, but I'm a great admirer of your work.
	We have you permanently linked to our website, the Institute for Historical Review.
	Let me ask you this.
	This whole episode sounds eerily like the weapons of mass destruction that were supposed to justify our invasion of Iraq and to take down Saddam Hussein, but then it turned out, whoops, there were no weapons of mass destruction.
	Do you think that this whole nerve gas episode could be or is a false flag, or is it an invitation for Assad's enemies in Syria to run a false flag and thereby entice, supposedly justify this intervention that apparently the globalists that we serve as the American government, we are obviously the police force for one world government,
	although nobody in America has ever voted for that or publicly taken that position.
	That's what we are.
	Is this a false flag or not?
	What's your thought?
	It's hard to know.
	You know, many government, including the Russian government, believe that the Assad government make the point the Assad government had no motive in using chemical weapons.
	Just after the UN team had arrived in Damascus to investigate another case of supposed use of chemical weapons, supposedly the Assad government, according to the United States, used it.
	Now, this is very unlikely.
	The Assad government is basically winning its war.
	It didn't use chemical weapons before.
	Many people point out that the group that has the biggest motive in using it is actually the rebels in order to exactly provoke this kind of situation.
	In any case, what's remarkable is how dubious, how murky the U.S. claim is.
	The U.S. government claims that it has secret intelligence to show that Assad used poison gas, but it won't say what this evidence is.
	It won't present it to any international forum.
	It won't even say what the gas is.
	They're very vague about this, and that's why, understandably, people are very, very dubious.
	There's another explanation.
	It could be that somebody in the Assad government used it without his approval.
	We don't know.
	But the real point is this.
	Even if the Assad government did use chemical weapons, it's not a reason or a mandate for the United States to get into a war that's basically not our business.
	That's a important issue.
	Mark, you nailed it.
	I want to play a clip in just a minute, Mark, from Russia today and get your response to that before we run out of time this segment.
	We have a few minutes remaining, but I want to first go back to another passage from Buchanan's most recent column on this subject and get your response to that.
	Buchanan writes, we're told that if we don't strike Syria, making good on Obama's threats, that Israel, Turkey, and even Japan and South Korea will never trust us again.
	What nonsense.
	We have treaties with Japan and South Korea.
	As for Turkey and Israel, if what is happening in Syria is so outrageous and so dangerous, why do they not act?
	Why do they keep tugging at our sleeve?
	The Israeli Air Force is five minutes from Damascus, its army, a two-day march.
	The Turks have three times Syria's population and a 400,000-man army equipped with NATO weapons.
	Together, they could invade and turn the tide in a week.
	Why do they not man up?
	Right.
	All these are very good points.
	And we put that column on our website homepage as well.
	I mean, almost everything that Pat Buchanan has to write, particularly on the Middle East situation right now, is well worth reading and well worth considering.
	He makes these larger points that are lost in all the discussion about, well, whether or whether or not the Assad government used chemical weapons.
	It's important to keep the larger point in mind.
	What's best for America?
	What's best for the world?
	And our politicians don't seem to give a darn about those important questions.
	Well, look, I'm all for allowing the Middle Eastern states to settle their own disputes.
	We should stay out of it.
	We should remain neutral.
	Let's go to a clip now.
	I want you to listen to it along with Keith and I, Mark.
	The British government.
	The British government has admitted issuing licenses that would have allowed the sale to Syria of chemicals that could be used to make nerve gas.
	London gave the permission last January when Syria was already ravaged by civil war.
	Archi Zarafad has the details.
	Business Secretary Vince Cable is certainly going to be facing some tough questions over these revelations that the British government had granted export licenses to an as yet unnamed British company.
	Now, this was for substances to be sent to Syria, and it was for two so-called dual-use substances, and that was potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride.
	And both those agents can be used as precursor chemicals in the manufacture of nerve gas.
	Now, those export licenses granted by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, it's reported in January the 17th and 18th.
	And that license valid for six months in 2012, as you mentioned, when the civil war in Syria was already raging.
	And so huge concerns over the fact that those export licenses were ever granted in the first place.
	And some big questions remaining.
	Now, the department has come back and said that it had assessed over whether there was a risk that that could be used for internal repression.
	They said that they felt the export license was correctly granted and that also they'd accepted assurances from the exporting company that these chemicals could be used for the manufacture of window frames in industrial processes.
	But as we said, those chemicals can also be used as precursor chemicals in the creation of the types of nerve agents that we've seen the British government accusing the Syrian government of having used on its own people.
	And there's huge concern anyway about the suspected chemical weapons stockpiles in the country.
	I think we've got a map of some of the suspected sites there.
	Of course, huge concern about what the Syrian government could potentially be doing with those chemical weapons.
	But of course, also that some of those sites where it's thought there are chemical weapons stockpiles could fall into the wrong hands as the situation gets ever more complex on the ground in that country.
	But it's thought here today there are going to be questions tabled in parliament to really run through and scrutinize exactly how these licenses for chemical weapons, for chemical agents that could be used in the types of weapons that the Syrian government are being accused of using on their own people were granted for a British company to send to Syria.
	Mark, we have about a minute and change remaining.
	I want to give that remaining time to you to perhaps offer your thoughts on the clip we just listened to and also any parting shots.
	Well, the clip is ambiguous because we don't know if actually they were delivered.
	I mean, I'm sure this will be sorted out at some point.
	We'll finally learn the facts just as eventually we learned that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction.
	The important thing is to keep in mind the basic fact that our American government policy in the Middle East, as even the U.S. Ambassador Israel said, is motivated primarily, I mean primarily by concern for what's good for Israel, not what's good for any other country and not what's good for the American people.
	This is the point that needs to be kept up.
	And the confusion and the disappointment about U.S. policy with regard to Syria and the Middle East is part of a larger crisis in the entire U.S. government of leaders who do not do what is best for the American people, much less for humanity.
	Mark, thank you for making those points.
	We're going to continue down that trail with Dr. Kevin McDonald for the remainder of this hour, ladies and gentlemen.
	In the meantime, be sure to support Mark's work.
	And Mark, we look forward to having you back already.
	Thank you very much, James.
	Have a great night, my friend.

	My very good friend, Dr. Kevin McDonald, on the line with us now.
	Of course, Dr. McDonald is a professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach, the author of several books, including The Epic Cultural Insurrections, also the proprietor of the OccidentalObserver.net, where he has expertly offered his critique on this situation in Syria.
	So we've just heard from Mark Weber.
	Now Kevin McDonald joins us.
	Dr. McDonald, welcome back to the show.
	It's great to be here.
	Great to be here.
	Kevin, you offered the column, you pinned the column, the Israel lobby and the organized Jewish community want regime change in Syria.
	Basically break that down or hit the finer points and then we'll begin to examine it in a little more detail.
	Yeah, what I did is I basically did some research looking around at the various websites associated with the neocons and associated with the Israel lobby, the ADL and so on, and basically found that they all want a very strong military response.
	They don't just want us to even, you know, it's not that they just want us to have some kind of token response that we're angry with Assad or something.
	They want us to go in there and change the military situation.
	They want to basically change it so that Assad is deposed in some way and you produce a different government.
	So it's the same people really that were really promoting the war in Iraq.
	And they're still around and they're trying now to get us to commit to this war in Syria as a prelude really to the war in Iran.
	That's the other thing that comes out very strongly.
	And if you go to some of these websites like, well, especially the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs and APAC to a great extent, I mean, they're very much focused on Iran.
	But they see that Syria is alive with Iran, and they think that at this point, especially now that Obama's done his red line, his ridiculous red line thing, that they really want us to attack Syria, because if we don't do that, I guess the thinking goes, then we won't be willing to go after the big one, which is Iran.
	This is Keith Alexander, Dr. McDonald.
	Thank you, Donald.
	You know, it's eerie to me that all of this seems to be playing out in exact accordance with the position paper that these Jewish technocrats that you're mentioning by reference, let me name them and shame them, Paul Wolfwitz, Michael Ledine, David Wormser, Douglas Fife, the usual suspects, basically, who seem to move seamlessly from Democrat to Republican regimes.
	Back during the Clinton administration, this group came up with a position paper in the State Department called A Clean Break, a new strategy for securing the realm, in which they propose regime change in all Muslim and Arab nations in the vicinity of Israel, even ones that seem to be under control and in the bag for Israel, like the Mubarak regime, like the Assad regime, like the Gaddafi regime, like, you know,
	a lot of nations that basically weren't considered to be big problems.
	And, you know, this was definitely followed during the Bush administration.
	Iraq was the first target.
	There was a false flag on wall weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist.
	It was used as the rationale to go to war.
	And now, lo and behold, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
	We have this supposed left-wing peacenick Obama as the president, and he's following the Clean Break Memorandum strategy to a T. He's taken out Gaddafi.
	He took out Mubarak.
	And now it looks like Assad is the next on the hit list.
	The globalists apparently think that they have the right to choose whoever runs any of these nations anywhere in the world, and particularly any nation in the vicinity of Israel.
	Am I wrong to draw this connection?
	What's your thought on this?
	You're right.
	During the 1990s, these neocons had this, they developed this ideology of democracy, that these Arab countries were yearning for democracy.
	And since none of them were democratic now, we had a moral obligation to go in there and change these governments.
	And so you have these very strong statements.
	You mentioned people like Michael Ledin.
	He's one that six in my mind.
	Also, Bernard Lewis, who's an academic, Princeton University.
	And he gave this sort of this fatina of academic respectability.
	He made up a whole fabulous story about the Muslim past, that there's all this democratic yearning in the Muslim culture that could only be unleashed if we went around and changed all these regimes.
	Well, you don't see that much now.
	If you look at that neocon statement that I linked to in that article, you don't see any talk about democracy anymore.
	I think that is over with because when these regimes are changed, they don't become democratic.
	You get rid of Ibarak and you get the Muslim Brotherhood.
	And you get rid of them and you get a military group.
	It's not like there just isn't any tendency towards democracy in those countries.
	So now they're just pure power politics.
	They want this or they make up a story every time.
	Now it's Obama's red line and how horrible it is to gas civilians, despite the fact that Israel used the white phosphorus in the war in Gaza, which is a horrific weapon on civilians.
	So they're just going now by sort of what's dangerous and the most dangerous government out there is Iran.
	That's the one they really want.
	They're even willing to depose Assad on the assumption that the people who replace them, it couldn't be al-Qaeda and the Sunni groups, they are not Democrats.
	And these people have a well-attested history now of torturing and various atrocities that they have done on their side in Syria.
	So this group is not something very explicit at all.
	They're not democratic.
	They're violent.
	They're undoubtedly tribal and everything else.
	So the people that we are truthedly trying to replace them, Assad with, are no better at all in terms of democracy or human rights or anything.
	But, you know, Syria is an ally of Iran.
	It sends a signal that would be certainly a blow to Hezbollah and so on.
	They see them as a much bigger threat right now.
	And they're going to go to, so they're much more willing to depose Assad, you know, despite the fact that the people who replace them will not be friends of Israel.
	They'll be relatively less dangerous because they're not going to be allied with Iran.
	I'm glad, Kevin, that you mentioned again, and we touched on this at the very beginning of this hour, the hypocrisy, the sheer and blatant hypocrisy that you see with regards to the foremost excuse for this war, the fact that chemical gas was used.
	Well, certainly, you know, that's not something that America and Israel necessarily has cleaned hands with with regards to the firebombing of Dresden.
	We talked about that earlier, and then the white phosphorus and cluster bombs.
	Buchanan, I've been lifting excerpts from Pat Buchanan's recent articles on Syria, and it's offering a great complimentary commentary to that which you and Mark Weber have been providing.
	Pat says this, a quick quip, about the debate on this war.
	There's an aspect of the absurd.
	We're told that we must punish Assad for killing Syrians with gas, but we do not want Assad's regime to fall, which raises a question.
	How many Syrians must we kill with missiles to teach Assad that he cannot kill any more Syrians with gas?
	Artillery is fine, just no gas.
	It's a joke.
	It's just the craziest thing I've ever seen.
	I mean, you know, it's like, and it's interesting, the American popular opinion is dead set against this.
	You read these articles, and it's not just that the opinion polls are one-sided against this attack.
	People are angry.
	I saw this stating on clip with McCain back in Arizona.
	You know, of course, McCain's a big hawk.
	He wants us to go in there and all that.
	But the people in the audience were angry.
	And so I wish they were as angry about things like immigration and get out there and really connect about that.
	But yeah, I mean, they're angry about this.
	And I really don't think that Obama's going to get it to Congress.
	I just don't think he's going to get it.
	That'll be incredible, a big blow to the Israelites.
	By the way, the Israel lobby is completely mobilizing.
	So it's going to be a showdown.
	Between the American population and the Israel lobby, they've got to have 250 activists in Washington buttonholing every last senator and representative on this issue.
	Of course, they'll also be doing a lot of op that a lot of big media on that, so they may be able to change the opinions of some people.
	But I think it's so outside of now.
	I've had most of them.
	Okay, thank you, Dr. McDonald.
	We're going to be back with you after these words from our sponsors.
	Stay.
	You'll want to hear what's coming up in the next segment.

	Are you familiar with the term vigor?
	Strength in body and mind?

	Well, I hadn't, but I learned about it from Kurt Crosby.
	All right, and he actually let me take a scientifically proven free vigor test.
	And I got 13 out of 32, not very good.
	But I worked on it with him, and believe it or not, now I have a 29 out of 32 and improving vigor score.
	You say, Sam, what on earth is this scientific vigor score, huh?

	Welcome back.
	Get on the show.
	Call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
	Well, this is Keith Alexander of the Political Cesspool.
	We've got Dr. Kevin McDonald of the Occidental Observer on the show tonight to discuss the so-called Syrian crisis, where it looks like the United States as the police force for one world government is going to take some type of military action against the Assad regime.
	Dr. McDonald, let me ask you this.
	We have Jewish technocrats that came up with the Clean Break Memorandum, I think it was 1995, that recommended regime change in virtually every Arab nation in the Middle East, particularly those near the vicinity of the state of Israel.
	And one of those authors was Michael Ladine.
	Michael Ladine is known, is famous, at least here at the political cesspool, as the author of the so-called Ladine Doctrine, in which he said that the United States needs to pick some crappy little country, those are his words, not mine, and throw them against the wall every 10 years or so just to show the world that we mean business.
	First of all, why in the world is somebody allowed to work in the State Department with views like that?
	If you work for the State Department, you're a diplomat.
	And if you're a diplomat, you're supposed to be diplomatic.
	Could any Gentile get away with that type of comment and still be working for the U.S. government is a rhetorical question I ask myself.
	And then, why in the world is the United States accept?
	I assent totally with what you were saying.
	I went by Poplar and Highland in Memphis, Midtown Memphis today, and there was a full-blown, well-attended rally going on with signs protesting the proposed intervention in Syria.
	So you're right.
	Even here in sleepy little red state American Memphis, there are street protests against this intervention.
	But of course, it looks as if the people that really run the American government could care less what the American people think.
	Give us your comments on these things, if you would, please.
	Yeah, it's very interesting because, you know, it could be that Congress does not go along with this.
	I mean, although that, you know, certainly that's not obvious.
	I mean, you look at the projected votes, what I've seen is lopsided in the House against military intervention.
	But APEC hasn't really gone to work yet.
	And who knows what they can do.
	Usually they get virtually unanimous consent for what they really want.
	So that could happen.
	But if it does, then you're going to have this resolution that is completely out of sync with the American people.
	And that's got to, you know, of course that's not a problem for Jewish intellectuals in general.
	I mean, if you like.
	Not a problem, and it wouldn't be the first time.
	It wouldn't be the first time.
	My book, The Culture of Critique, that was the whole thing that you developed to sort of the top of the society.
	You think of the top universities, the top media, and it's really a top-down revolution that we've had.
	And so they've always gone to the sort of the centers of power at the top of the society.
	And that's, of course, where Congress is one of those centers.
	And it's even conceivable, I mean, that Obama would do something if Congress did not want, right?
	Even if the Congress voted this topic.
	I mean, Congress, the only reason that Obama went to Congress at all is because the U.K. voted against him.
	Once that happened, he was out by himself.
	I mean, he was completely alone.
	Of course, if he had done it, it would have been that these neocons would have applauded it.
	But, I mean, you have Transparent World, except for France, was the only one.
	I think it would have been very difficult to do that.
	I think that sort of forced them to go to Congress.
	And it's not going to be pretty.
	I mean, it's certainly an uphill battle here.
	But don't call it that guy.
	They're going to work here.
	Well, you know, Dr. McDonald loves Keith Alexander.
	It seems that Obama has more or less telegraphed that he's going to do it regardless of whether or not Congress agrees with it.
	These neocons are very curious conservatives.
	What about the conservatism in General George Washington or President George Washington's farewell address in which he said, the surest way to destroy our republic is to fight foreign wars and develop favored nation status with any foreign nation.
	That's right.
	There's a long history of conservatism that basically is isolationist.
	It doesn't want to be really, you know, it certainly doesn't want a foreign war, especially if it speculates at this point.
	Yeah, so going back to Path, that was certainly a big, strong current in the Republican Party.
	But that was what the neocons ousted.
	When the neocons really tried to get influenced from Durgin Reagan here, that was one of the main things.
	They got rid of these isolations because they wanted a very active, very aggressive political policy.
	Basically, on the confidence, on the needs and interests of Jews, whether it's in Israel or back in the 1970s, they were very close to the Soviet Union because of their treatment of Jews.
	And so, you know, their idea is very active foreign policy.
	And they were thrilled when the Soviet Union fell apart and they had this one, you know, the sort of unipolar world with the United States being the most powerful country.
	Well, when that's the case, you know, they really advocated that the United States enter all these wars, which is what's basically what's happening.
	And, you know, you're really, Kevin, damned if you do, damned if you don't, with this country, a country who has a history and a reputation for engaging in false flags operations.
	You don't go to war in Syria.
	You could have false flags operations here on this soil.
	The line will be, well, look, we should have taken care of them.
	We told you so.
	You do go to war in Syria, and then you could very legitimately have attacks of retaliation on this soil.
	So that's something to keep in mind.
	I want to be sure to get this last question in before we run out of time with you, and we're quickly doing just that.
	A recurring theme this hour with both you and Mark Weber has been the Jewish hand in this unseen Jewish hand in this whole affair trying to get America to go to war in Syria.
	Pat Buchanan agrees with you.
	He agrees with us on this issue.
	Here's what he writes.
	The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has joined the Israeli lobby APAC in an all-out public campaign for U.S. war on Syria.
	The Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League have invoked the Holocaust, charging the United States and Britain with failing to rescue the Jews in the 1940s.
	I mean, what planet were these people on?
	But anyway, Buchanan continues.
	The Republican Jewish Coalition 2, and you wrote a follow-up article at the OccidentalObserver.net that I want people to read about Sheldon Adelson.
	Pat Buchanan writes this.
	The Republican Jewish Coalition bankrolled by Sheldon Adelson, the casino mogul whose solicitude for the suffering children of Syria is the stuff of legend is also backing Obama's war.
	Adelson, who shelled out $70 million to bring down Barack Obama, wants his payoff, war on Syria, and he's getting it.
	Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor have saluted and enlisted.
	Sheldon, the fattest of all fat cats, is trying to buy himself of war.
	Yet, is it really wise for Jewish organizations to put a Jewish stamp on a campaign to drag America into another war?
	That was Buchanan's column, an excerpt from it.
	That was his question.
	Kevin, I pose it to you with about two minutes remaining.
	Well, that's you know, that's exactly in line with what I've been writing.
	You know, there's no other constituency in this country that wants war, and they want it.
	Nobody wants it.
	There's no organized group that I can think of that is beating the drums for war here, except for the organized Jewish community.
	You know, and all those organizations you mentioned, Simon Wiesenthal, the ADL, the Conference of the Major Jewish organizations, the JINSA, the Weekly Standard, all these things.
	That's what the pressure is here.
	And I am somewhat shocked that, as of this moment, at least, and let's make no mistake about it, we very well could go into Syria without any official congressional authorization.
	I mean, America hasn't declared war since the Second World War, if I'm not mistaken, so this certainly wouldn't be unprecedented either.
	But for Obama, at least pretending to want to go through the motion, I am surprised that so many congressmen are seemingly against this, even though the Jewish lobby is for it.
	And I guess you are too, Kevin.
	I am surprised.
	But again, you know, this next week, you're going to see intense lobbying.
	And APAC just has a long history getting what they want.
	You know, they're going to put the screws on these people.
	And I wouldn't be surprised if it, you know, at least some of them.
	But what I'm hearing is that these congressmen are going back to their districts and they're just seeing no enthusiasm for this.
	And they have to go up for election, you know, every two years.
	So they can, you know, for the most part, a lot of these congressmen don't really like Israel that much.
	They go along with APAC because, you know, that's where the power is.
	And they just sort of, you know, they have other issues that they're far more interested in.
	And their constituents aren't that interested in Israel either.
	But in this case, there's a lot of concern among their constituents.
	And they may be very reluctant to adopt to go along with this strike because it could be suicide in the next election for them.
	People seem very upset about this, very vehement.
	So I don't, it seems to be very interesting to watch it, what happens, because, I mean, I'm one of these people that really watch the Israel lobby and see how effective they are.
	This will be a real asset test of how powerful they are.
	I could not agree with you more, Kevin.
	And thank you again for being with us tonight to provide your expert commentary.
	Folks, continue to follow Kevin's opinion on this matter at the OsidonObserver.net.
	Dr. McDonald will talk to you again very soon.
	Thank you very much.
	I enjoyed it.
	All right, Kevin McDonald, Mark Weber, great hour of talk radio.
	We'll be back with the third and final hour right after this.
