From the following: [url]http://www.antiwar.com/forbes/?articleid=2673[/url]
[QUOTE]And why not, for [COLOR=Red][I]Judith Miller[/I][/COLOR], a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter and best-selling author whose Times' front-page article offered the strongest assertion to date regarding Iraqi weapons of mass destruction? It also offered wildly unsubstantiated claims regarding Iraq's alleged WMD aid to both Syria and Al-Qaeda. Though thin to effervescent aside from the Times' imprimatur, the Al-Qaeda claim in [I][COLOR=Red]Judith Miller's[/COLOR][/I] 4/21/03 article serves to justify the current war and the claim regarding Syria boosts for the (hypothetical) next war.
While [COLOR=Red][I]Miller's article has certainly received wide notice, what's less well known is her formal link to the Middle East Forum[/I][/COLOR], a hawkish, political pressure group that advocates using U.S. military force if necessary to oust Syria from Lebanon.
Followers of the Iraq WMD debate know of the Iraqi "scientist" at the heart of Miller's article, the man who favors "nondescript clothes and a baseball cap." Prohibited from interviewing him, Miller based her account entirely on what this individual told U.S. military officers who then ââ¬â X to Y to Z ââ¬â told Miller what he'd said. Had it appeared on some fringe web site, the piece might be dismissed as not meeting the smell test, or as at least as being premature.
Said Jonathan B. Tucker, a former U.N. weapons inspector currently on sabbatical from the Monterey Institute of International Studies at the U.S. Institute of Peace, "It's very vague and not corroborated. I don't view it as definitive." Saying the story perhaps should have been held for more evidence, Tucker added, "It's pretty thin on the evidence." But Randy Scheunemann, president of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, said, "Miller is an absolutely veteran reporter who has broken a very important story."
Miriam Rajkumar, a project associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said it has a "politically potent use for those who want to justify and validate the allegations made before the war regarding Al Qaeda and WMD. Anything that validates that will be pounced on." Miller herself appeared on the PBS NewsHour the day after her article appeared and, asked about any proof of WMD, referred immediately to "something more than a smoking gun," in short: "a silver bullet." The metaphors proliferated as the proof evaporated.[/QUOTE]Judith Miller as ever will place propaganda on behalf of Israel above all other considerations. Damn the consequences for others, most especially the stupid white goyim.
To her only plights of Jews are of concern. From my book: [QUOTE]When Jews arrived at the death camps, they acted submissively. When visitors arrive in Washington D.C,, they could go to the Holocaust Museum and learn about the camp at Treblinka and about the dark side of technology which permitted 150 prison guards to kill 900,000 over 18 months at a cost of 5 cents a person. The director of the museum, Michael Berenbaum, believed that gruesome statistic has a deserved place among this nation's monuments. The rather appalling statistic that one person, on average, was able to kill 6000 human beings over 18 months, or to put it another way one person on average killed eleven others every day for 18 months, was not to be given nearly as much thought. Did the Germans kill all these people at the same time every day? Did they kill one every two hours and rest two hours? Did the Germans take a coffee break? During the 18 months did the concentration camp internees attempt to resist? Did they try to escape? If so, how many times and how violently did they fight before dying? These questions did not concern Ms. [COLOR=Red]Judith Miller[/COLOR], a reporter for the New York [I]Times[/I], who wrote a book on Jewish inmates and their behavior.[1]
Contrast their behavior with 1st. Sergeant Peter Vetcher of Darby's Rangers who surrendered to the Germans on January 30, 1944 after fighting all night against panzer troops in Cisterna di Latina, Italy and running out of ammunition. Badly wounded and bleeding from shrapnel, Vetcher was taken to a POW camp in Rome. With the Allies advancing on Rome Sergeant Vetcher was marched through the streets of Rome to a train to take him to Germany. While he marched, ignoble Romans and their contemptible kids threw stones and spat on him. A logical conjecture was they would be the same people who clapped and cried when the Allies "liberated" Rome in a few weeks. Once in Germany he escaped from Stalag 2B, his first prison camp and was about to board a ship to Sweden when he was recaptured. Then he was taken to Buchenwald concentration camp. Once again Sergeant Vetcher showed initiative by waiting three days and digging under a fence. Sergeant Vetchers and his kind have not counted for much in the world of the New York [I]Times[/I], but one must ask if a Sergeant Vetcher amongst the Jews in Buchenwald would have made a difference.
[1] Judith Miller, [I][B]One, by One, by One[/B][/I], p234, (Simon & Schuster, 1990)[/QUOTE]Sergeant Peter Vetcher of Darby's Rangers and his kinfolk do not matter to the Jews of New York who decide what is news and what is not. If they have to die on behalf of Israel, then so be it. They have lived a useful life.
