@DR, Some interesting and perhaps salient points in that interview but O'Keefe strays right into unapologetic monolithic international Jewish conspiracy theory territory. Whilst the Israeli lobbying of media and governmental apparatus in the west may be powerful and have influence O'Keefe's view seems to be that they are "the hidden hand" behind all global geopolitical moves and I'm not believing that.
Moving on, the tiresome rhetoric from Hamfacedcorporategoonbot & Co is the usual "nail meet hammer" shite probably mostly designed to boost further the British arms industry and assuage the electorate's fear & anger by presenting a simple solution, the repeat presentation of a solution that has singularly and completely failed to achieve its aims in the past, has certainly further exacerbated and enflamed a very complex sets of situations, helping to bring us to where we are now.
I tell you what though, if it ever comes to putting "boots on the ground" I might support it if it's done the ancient Spartan way. The Kings of Sparta could declare war on who they liked but they then had to be in the front line. I'd pay good money to see Pig Fucker and co. on the front line.
But I somehow doubt there would be much stomach for the fight then....
