On February 24th at 9pm
President Obama gave his first address to a Joint Session of
Congress. As
he did so NBC Host Brian Williams mentioned that right after the
address White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel would be his exclusive guest o discuss
the speech. In commenting about Emanuel Williams mentioned that he had served in the Israeli
Army. When
Obama had concluded and while Emanuel was getting ready to be
interviewed Williams interjected that he had been wrong, that Emanuel had been
a 'Civilian Volunteer' in the Israeli Army during the first Gulf
War. Clearly
someone had thought this important enough that even during the
President's address Williams was told to correct this matter
immediately. The new story that such an up and coming politico,
soon to be in the Clinton White House, and a former Israeli citizen,
was spending a few weeks "rust-proofing" things at some remote base, is
itself highly doubtful. Mossad connections have been alledged;
and past pattersn of Mossad conduct do fit such scenarios but are all
but impossible to prove.
But back during the campaign in
June of last year, in fact on the day Rahm Emanuel endorsed Obama
rather than Clinton, in fact on the day Obama spoke to the Israeli/Jewish
Lobby AIPAC, in fact on the day Emanuel introduced Obama at AIPAC and then went with him for an
off-the-record meeting with the Board of Directors, another NBC
journalist said on air
that Rahm had served in the Israeli Army before interviewing him.
And Rahm, listening to the instroduction, did not deny this. Furthermore
the journalist involved was not just an ordinary journalist, but none
other than NBC's Chief
Foreign Affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, herself very
well-connected, Jewish, and married to Alan Greenspan. Watch it:
"Life-Long Commitment to
Israel" "Served in Israeli
Army" ? Former Israeli
Citizen ?
Religious Zionist Jew with long-acknowleded allegiance to
Israel. Duel-Loyalties? Father far
right-winger, a "terrorist" in his day and time who participated in the
assassination of the first U.N. Negotiator, Count Folk Bernadette. Suspected past Mossad
connections ? Israeli record and
involvements white-washed ?
