Taking sides

The Taki phenomenon of always getting it right has now endured 31 years in the Speccie alone. But if the Israelis do attack, and the American media immediately close ranks and we have 9/11 all over again, do not expect to see a Kenyan–American in the White House. Do expect to see the fat face of the only woman on earth the greatest Greek thinker since Aristophanes wants to slap in the White House in 2012. (McCain will be a one-term president because Cheney–Bush have done such a job on the economy no living person can turn it around in four years.)

And another thing. Get ready to welcome thousands of Arab multimillionaires into our midsts. War heroes all, they will start running as the Israeli jets are flying over their camels. They know that the mullahs do not approve of their lifestyle. Before the Iranian missiles start flying in retaliation, go long on hookers and short on prayer mats. If you need to bet, Fitzdares is the place to do it (7 per cent owned by Taki, the rest by the Goldsmith brothers. By far the fairest bookies in town, and we also provide credit that others do not. And many other things, too. But I digress). Good luck.

Is it just me, or does this article make no sense at all?

The prognosis is reasonably feasible, except possibly that there would need to be a nasty event that got a bit of panic going in the West before Israel was let loose.
I have no doubt that in the longer term there will be something like a WW3 in the area. The Arabs want Israel gone and will never stop trying to achieve this. They will make slow gains until a point where Israel feels they could be terminally damaged. And then its war to the finish.
That, massive Arab wealth, most of the worlds fast diminishing supply of oil, a weakening USA, a chippy Russia, Chinese oil need and rising Muslim fundamentalism is a toxic brew that surely has to, at some point, erupt.

More time above decks, old boy. Try to get some exercise and if that doesn't shake the cabin fever, then head for the nearest port and get your feet back on dry land.

This 'article' is an utter joke. I mean: 'A Washington based Belgian Count'.

You can relax Taki. There will be no WW3 as a result of Israeli actions.

But of course this 'article' was just another vehicle for Taki's well documented prejudices against a certain country and its people.

As far as I know God is spelt with an od and not an il. Gill should remember that he - or she - may have claims to being a prophet but that's where it stops.

And why shouldn't a Belgian be a count and, if he's bored with living on a small and soggy plain with dodgy weather, funny vegetables and odd neighbours, move to Washington?

Washington is awash with Israeli lobbyists alarmed that all their misinformation and tactical gains of the neo-con era are about to be lost. The tide has already turned with Condi daring to criticise the further expansion of the illegal settlelements. Taki is right to anticipate the desparate actions of a country that has antagonised its neighbours for 40 years

Taki you are spot on. The Zionists and their fifth columnists in the West have wreaked havoc and destroyed any influence that the USA and the UK had in the Arab countries. Russia and China will replace them, and everyone will be the loser.
