Cheney has earned Jewish leaders' respect


By Sharon Samber


http://www.jewishworldreview.com — | (JTA) WHEN AMERICAN FORCES were sent to the Middle East in 1991 to fight the Persian Gulf War, some unit commanders suggested that Jewish soldiers could change their dog tags to eliminate their religious identification.

When approached by the Anti-Defamation League, then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney made it clear that such suggestions were not official policy and that any such policy would be "unacceptable."

The story, according to ADL national chairman Abraham Foxman, shows that George W. Bush's choice for his Republican running mate is "sensitive to Jewish concerns."

On matters of foreign policy and experience, many Jewish officials share the assessment of Foxman, whose group honored Cheney with its Distinguished Statesman Award in 1993.

Whether Cheney will prove to be an asset or a liability in the Republican quest for Jewish votes is not clear.

Cheney, 59, is a known quantity to American Jews, having served as defense secretary from 1989 to 1993 under President Bush, chief of staff under President Ford and in Congress for 10 years.

His voting record and his actions in the Cabinet show him to be a strong conservative who consistently supported Israel.

As head of the Pentagon under Bush, he helped direct the operations of the Persian Gulf War, one of America's largest military campaigns, and sent U.S. Patriot missiles to defend Israel from Scud attacks Iraq.

There was debate at the time over the U.S. insistence that Israel not retaliate and let the U.S.-led international operation defeat Iraq, but there was general agreement that the U.S. effort in the Persian Gulf responded to Israel's needs.

After the war, Israel enjoyed a new level of military and strategic closeness with the United States — for which Cheney gets high marks, said Marshall Breger, a professor at Catholic University's law school, who was a former special assistant to President Reagan and held senior positions in the Bush administration.

Based on his experience, Cheney may attempt to reach out to Jewish voters. Breger recalls that as a congressman during the early 1980s, Cheney attended lunches hosted for Republican Jewish leaders by the House leadership.

Cheney was very interested in outreach and engaging the Jewish community, Breger said.

Though Cheney was critical of specific Israeli policies — such as the invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the Jonathan Pollard spy case — he appears to have earned the respect of many Jewish leaders.

"He was not automatically supportive of every action that Israel took," said Jess Hordes, the director of the ADL's government and national affairs office in Washington.

"But his overall record as a congressman and as secretary of defense is generally viewed as positive."

Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, called Cheney "very friendly" to the Jewish community.

Cheney is "excellent" on issues of U.S.-Israeli of security cooperation, according to Shoshana Bryen, director of special projects for the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

At a 1991 JINSA event, Cheney, who serves on the group's advisory board, thanked Israel for destroying an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981, an act that the United States had denounced at the time.

In a statement, Howard Kohr, executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's, said Cheney was a "committed internationalist" who generally supported foreign aid to Israel.

Cheney also played a "leadership role" in securing support for the joint American-Israeli Arrow missile defense system, according to AIPAC, the pro- Israel lobby.

But AIPAC also noted that throughout his tenure, Cheney supported U.S. arms sales to Arab states, including the 1981 sale of AWACS planes to Saudi Arabia, a sale the Jewish community had actively opposed.

That side writhes like the worm that he and his entire herd family is questions deserves no answer, you little CSR piece of shit.

Certainly your articles deserve no reads anymore.

Just understand, cross the line of defamation, hatred incitement, or more and face your own authorities that have special commandos for putrid morons like you.




Yeah the murderers give themselves respect.

This Cheney dude may become the next U.S. president if zionist politburo goes for plan "B", meaning dubya will have to be securitised so the fascist dictatorship on American soil becomes a reality. Since no approval from fat-ass pork barrel fed congress will be required, the deranged maniac will lead America into head on collision with Russia and China. God have mercy on our souls.

A perfect example of a traitor, like EVERY Western "leader". The internal threat is the cause for everyone in the West. they are in danger of being nuked by the internal njukes smuggled in to the West.


Hey...Poi...You like this one?

"Cheney, 59, is a known quantity to American Jews"

Yeah, a known quantity of pro-Zionist Jew Bullsh*t and Lies. That much is obvious.

This article is from Cheney's Zio-Fan Club and it just tells it like it is - Cheney is a Jew puppet, always has been and always will be.

poiutyr, your idle threats involving the "ADL" and "Commandos" really make me laugh.

Yes, a lovely marriage while it lasted, yes?

Israel and South Africa. The Apartheid Siamese.

Cheney is to be denounced for being the evil Cracker that he is, for being the man who keeps Mr. Mandela locked up, not for being a "jew puppet".

What is the difference between feeling a spiritual affinity towards Palestinian people and projecting ones own malice?

Anyone ever check out life under a state that has gone Islamofascist and subjects everyone to Sharia Law,..., now there is a prime example of a country that has gone wankers

For example,..., check out Iran recently,..., didn't they just have 9 people stoned to death of which 8 were women,..., there's a real class act for you, eh.

How about the mass lynchings yesterday in Iran,..., how many did they pop vertibrai on this time,..., something like 20 plus heavy change,..., like close to 30,..., another example of a real class act, eh.

Makes one wonder about the number of hands severed in the last month doesn't it,..., eh.

How about womens' rights under Sharia Law,..., oops,..., that should be,..., How about the lack of Womens' Rights shouldn't it.

Now let's really cut to the chase shall we folks,..., how about all those recent murderous terrorist bombings all around the globe,..., Hmmmm,..., seems these supposed God fearing advocates for Sharia Law really have a thingie for murdering innocent people ( The Most treasured targets are women and children) in every and any country,..., don't these terrorist swine reek of fecundity folks,..., real class act isn't it folks,..., eh.

Seems your taking some of my flack,..., have you come to the conclusion these terrorism apologist scum are actually doing their best to perpetuate the status quo in Israel by inflaming anti-semetism hatemongering through their favorite hide behind the shell game of anti-zionism,..., what a great way to disseminate their prejustical bigotry,..., eh.

You anti-semetic anti-Israeli arsewipes fool no one,..., you don't give a fat ferrets freaking fuzzy fanny about the Palistinian plight,..., you actually come here to sh*t disturb for an escalation in violence in the mid-East,..., that same violence that is derailing the Peace process that is leading to the creation of a Palistinian Homeland.

"What is the difference between feeling a spiritual affinity towards Palestinian people and projecting ones own malice?" TOTK

A perfect creator would have programmed the generic form of this question into every human's head and activated it with a blinding migraine headache. The throbbing would cease only when the correct answer was given and acted upon. Why didn't he/she think of that, huh?


Answer of the day
by Throw_Off_The_Killer on 28.07.2008 [18:40 ]    
The generic form of this question would be......what?

"What kind of consideration do the wretched of the Earth owe the "chosen people"?

Keep your eyes on those who feel themselves "chosen", or, "special".

Ever seen zionist jew law, women have to shave ALL body hair, especially their heads as the zionist jew "men" prefer the baby look, as seen by their paedophilia worldwide. The pedo snuff movies made in Iraq by israelis / khazars love wanking over your own produce. You bastard "race" are define Anti Semitism since your lot were butt fucking Hitler. He was in bed with the Nazis & Fascists. Since zionism predates both of these evil hate ideologies. Your racist hate cult invented terrorism, ever heard of the Stern Gang aka Haganah. In zionazi "heaven" they get 100 pigs to fuck, up the ass - the zionist way to contraception. You love top murder, as seen by the false flag attacks, lets see how long you parasites last when the oil is cut off to the West, the Western population will wipe all of you out.
