4 thoughts on “Lawrence Wilkerson on the Wikileaks”

  1. I agree with all Wilkerson said.
    I don’t Ahmadinijad will be sent over the edge with being called a “Big fat liar”,
    but I think Israel is already like South Africa was, and it continues to be an oozing sore, with BIBI dictating to the US.
    Obama needs to have direct talks right now with N.Korea and Iran, and he needs to put BIBI in his place.

  3. This is probably a stupid comment, but I’ll say it anyway.
    Am I the only one who looks at N. Korea, and sees what the US could be if we had, after Bush’s start, another few decades (plus) of leaders like Sarah, Newt, DeMint, Huckabee, Paul, Rubio, etc., and Corporatist Dominionists in control of the the three branches of government? Only on a much bigger scale.
    And I wonder if anyone from any of the countries around the world looks and see that as a possibility, and what the ramifications may be? I wonder if the START treaty, and how Republicans are handling it may be opening some eyes?
    Just sayin’.

    As far as Wilkerson, I agree with him, and he said far better what I was thinking. Again, ‘leaking’ is important for a varitey of reasons. But, just leaking for the sense of leaking, ‘because you can,’ is NOT a reason. A leak is supposed to head off some problem, major or minor, and can point to a coming catastrophe. It’s not supposed to cause problems that may lead to catastrophe’s.
    The “Pentagon Paper’s” – great leak. The prior WikiLeak about how our troops abuse power and kill innocent’s – good leak. This one, uhm, not so much…
    A leak is like a genii. Once it’s out, there’s no turning back.

  4. I’m impressed by the discussion. Things in Korea and Israel are not what I believed. Live and learn, unless you are a wingnut. They never learn.

    The issue of demographics and democracy in Israel had not occurred to me. That makes a two-state solution something Israel should pursue NOW. Why aren’t they?

    The nuts running N. Korea may feel forced to act with their military while they can, if indeed China is tired of their antics. It depends on how they perceive the dynamics of a waiting game, and the worldview of an absolute dictator who feels abandoned is not made more attractive his control nukes. The good news is that IF N. Korea decides to move now, I don’t think they have a reliable platform – or rocket – for delivery. So a conventional war now will likely (almost certainly) result in thousands of civilian deaths in S. Korea, where waiting means N. Korea might in the future threaten millions.

    So do you (America & S. Korea) push it to the edge now or wait when waiting might mean a nuclear-armed regime is later teetering economically when/if China and the rest of the world refuses to prop them up?
