It's a new age of the privateer.

A gathering of today's buccaneers and freelance adventurers will be taking place next week on the Florida coast. This week, a (self-declared) important section of the 'intelligence community' will be meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida for its second "International Intelligence Summit," where they will be discussing how best to fight their Global War on Terror. Among them will be a motley crew of Iranian exiles, Israeli intelligence officials, repentent Islamists, neocon warriors and scions of the British secret service.

It's certainly a crowd of buccaneers which repays further investigation.

I hope somebody tells them

That the hoped for allies in the Middle East will never appear. Those theologically and spiritually advanced enough to be enlightened won't fight; and those who are not will never ally themselves with Kufar.

Sounds like the blind; leading, the deaf; listening, to the mute; praising, god for being clueless and crazy, while they all competitively drink with shouts of BIZ...BUZ...BIZ at a party for only close family and friend. They will be sharing one witch's eye, because all of the men attending are figuratively blind to reality and other ....

Completely agreed. In fact, this is to the point where I'm not sure religion is anything other than a cover for a giant-all-political-conspiracy to simply transfer the entire treasury of the United States into the accounts of war p

There is a Likud/Mossad angle to this, too.

Mossad 'created' Hamas many years ago, to divide the Palestinian resistance into competing factions, and to legitimise force against the Palestinians. After twenty years, this tree they planted is bearing fruit, as the factions attack eachother in guerilla combat.

In the same way, under advice from the Feith/Pipes Axis-of-Weasles, the US and UK are assisting in fueling an ahistorical split throughout the near-east and central asia on sunni/shi'ite lines. This is p

I have some doubts to this being true. Do you have any non-stakeholder webpages to point us to on this? If it's true, I'm willing to call Mossad, and the Zionists that support it, the most incompetant strategists ever, just based on the number

I don't have any first-hand sources to refer you to, but I've read arguments from an American source supporting what JC is saying about Israel and Hamas. In Robert Dreyfuss' book "Devil's Game", he details British, American and Israeli involvement in the early stages of the modern Islamist movement, starting with the Muslim Brotherhood. Here's a relevant passage on Hamas (p.206-207):

[...]In the early 19080s Israel supported the Islamists on several fronts. It was, of course, supporting the Gaza and West Ban

Thanks. I've linked Ostrovsky's material before. The Wikipedia article on him is pretty balanced - which means Mossad isn't editing it! If they did, they'd attract more attention to him, and they'd rather have him overlooked.

"Devil's Game", "Blackwater Mercenaries", Islamists/Christian/Jewish fundamentalist .... My observation is there are to many smokey-screens to reject the probability that there is a group of arsonist profiteering from incinerating people, burning buildings and towns, and destroying limited and valuable assets to increase the value of available remaining resources. This is why I am always collectively referring to corporatist, politicians, mega-church/temple/mosque televangelist [AKA: plutocrats] and their d
