[Iran Press TV] The United Sates is using the beheading of journalist James Foley by ISIL murderous Moslems as a "casus belli" to reoccupy Iraq, a political and military analyst in New York says."This is used as a casus belli, a casus belli for us to get back into Iraq with full force and full feet," Michael Burns told Press TV on Thursday, a day after the White House confirmed the authenticity of a gruesome online video showing Foley's decapitation by ISIL holy warriors.

"And sadly enough while we ignore and deny and turn our heads against the Israeli pounding of these innocent Paleostinians which has outraged half the world, the American policy makersâ"" simply ignore and do nothing, but pass a supplement arms bill to resupply arms to Israel before they go on vacation," Burns said, referring to members of Congress who started a five-week summer recess on August 1.

also started his annual vacation on the island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.
Burns said that the United States "caused disarray" in Iraq by invading the Arab country in 2003 which is now causing the incidents like the beheading of Foley.
"I think a good part of America is disgusted at our policy makers, playing golf, having a nice vacation, [and] now getting upset over this beheading, macabre and deplorable though it be, and at the same time have nothing to say over Israel and its brutal savagery towards those innocent Paleostinians who fight back with sticks and stones," he added.
"So, I think, sure, it [the US] uses it as a casus belli to try and inflame American people so that we don't have to interrupt their golf games while they send more weaponry and more troops back into the Middle East again. So we are back in it," Burns concluded.
