Sitting in my hotel room, watching the surf roll over the sand. I would comment if there were a post worthy of a reply.
Why are you sitting in your hotel room??? You should be at the beach in a collapsible camp chair with something in the drink holder! |

Obama's now conducting the world's greatest international terrorist campaign – the drones and special forces campaign.
It's also a terror-generating campaign.
The common understanding at the highest level [is] that these actions generate potential terrorists.
I'll quote General Stanley McChrystal, Petraeus' predecessor.
He says that "for every innocent person you kill", and there are plenty of them, "you create ten new enemies" |

Yes L4L, it's called propaganda. You do understand that these 'groups' purposely use civilians just for this purpose. |

What groups use civilians for propaganda? The friends and families of the dead innocent victims? |

U.S. Government propaganda tries to give the impression that aerial bombardment achieves near-surgical accuracy, so that military targets can be destroyed with minimal effect on civilians. Technical documents give a different picture.

Ok. Lets take Hamas. They positioned rocket launchers in schoolyards, near hospitals and told the populace to stay in their homes. Hamas fires rockets, Israel retaliates by striking the rocket site. Some kids get killed and then it's off to the press blaming Israel for purposely targeting children, sick people and innocent civilians. |

Let's take the US military: In nearly every single action more civilians are killed than soldiers. We don't own the entire world. It is not ours to bomb and attack at will. In Iraq, even the most lenient counts are approx. 200,000 killed. With 75% being civilians. |

This does not justify killing innocent people. You are describing a hostage situation whereby no consideration is given to the innocent, because you have already self justified your retaliation. If Hamas fires rockets, retaliate against them. Blowing up innocent people is terrorism. Fighting terrorism with bigger terrorism is an absolutely un-winnable situation. |

In the late 1990s, some of the worst terrorist atrocities in the world were what the Turkish government itself called state terror, namely massive atrocities, 80 percent of the arms coming from the United States, millions of refugees, tens of thousands of people killed, hideous repression, that's international terror, and we can go on and on.

Schenectady County is 210 square miles and has a population of 155k Gaza Strip is 139 square miles and has a population of 1.8 million. Do the math. Based on an article I read, Hamas had 3000 elite fighters that were ready to attack Israel. Israel flattened neighborhoods with air strikes going after 3000 fighters in a densely populated area. And you still blame dirt poor Palestine? Talk about propaganda?
Quoted Text
A Middle East expert told CNN Friday that at least 3,000 members of Hamas’ elite fighting forces are prepared to carry out suicide attacks against Israelis.

You just replied, so I guess you thought it was worthy. I hope you brought your pom-poms and plenty of lotion for Obama's 'Golf War' speech tomorrow. I'm also kind of surprised you are near the ocean, given your alarmist fears of it rising and swallowing you up.
Alarmist fears??? No, you have the wrong person. I follow the science on Climate Change. For "alarmist fears" see Henry who is filling his home bunker with guns ammo and doomsday provisions. |

Well that's what they 'tell us' any way! the lame stream media...aka arm of the government....will tell the masses what to think and believe based on their 'so called' reporting!! their job is to sway public opinion....most times in favor of going to war or to pick sides or to invent a boogie man. they make us hate/fear other cultures, countries, governments that we have NEVER even met or seen!!! DON'T BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA!!! |
