Good post. I am looking into these issues on my blog.

It’s time for the World to stand up to the US.Eventully China will rein-in US aggression and bullying, because it appears that Europe will not team up to do the job.

The UN was set up to be world policeman, but the US has managed to manipulate the UN for its own agender. When the US disagrees with the UN it uses it veto power or goes unilaterally.
The best the US can do for world stability is to concentrate on its own domestic problems, of which there are many, and keep its nose out of other sovereign nations.

Its time to stand up to the terrorist state, before they find anther excuse to invade or topple another nation and drag the WILLING with them.

How about asking Laura Bush about obeying stop signs, and her husband and Cheney about accountability in government?

Considering the billions and weapons that went missing in Iraq and Halliburton’s repeated overbilling, etc., the current Bush administration is hardly in the position to encourage other countries to throw their culture of corruption. As usual, your hypocrisy shows.

The United States will stand with Israel now and forever. Now and forever,” Pelosi avowed last year at the AIPAC meeting, never mind the seeming inexhaustible crimes against humanity. “There are those who contend that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. This is absolute nonsense. In truth, the history of the conflict is not over occupation, and never has been: it is over the fundamental right of Israel to exist.”

Dear James – I suppose if the terrorist “creatures” of Hezbollah didn’t hide their weapon caches among the civilian population, there MIGHT be a better than average chance fewer civilians would be killed…And of course having the poor Lebanese people victimized by Hezbollah rogues, with the backing of Iran & Syria IS perfectly acceptable to you?? I’m sure neither country is REALLY interested in annihilating Israel – or so I hear….

Your “reference” site reminds me of the tripe played on Arabic television to brain wash the vulnerable small children of the Arab world. Teaching those innocents that Jews are not human and are really pigs and monkeys is child abuse of a most hideous nature….

Thank you for once again reiterating a growing movement in prog political circles – the “understanding and embracing” of those wishing to bring about another Holocaust. Democrat Jews who are not self-hating may wish to re-examine their committment to the Democrat Party.

Her Touting of ACORN issues/fraud in Missouri shows as thinkly veiled racism as I have ever seen…. ” Comment by Eargy Earp

*******Dear E. Earp – I apologize if you thought I was insinuating I thought RAFSP was a racist. I insinuated nothing. I made a CLEAR and DEFINITE assignment of the term “racist” about Repubs are the Fear and Smear Party.

I could care LESS the colour of ACORN activists or the community they purport to serve. I can’t stand conservative scammers, evangelical scammers or progressive scammers – apparently you make allowances for peoples dishonesty based on their viewpoint…..VERY tolerant of YOU!!!

Her Touting of ACORN issues/fraud in Missouri shows as thinkly veiled racism as I have ever seen. Yes, there may be a miniscule percentage of fraudulent cases, but the overall ACORN effort is to get poor and minority peoples to vote. The effort by Republicans was and is to thwart ANY effort to help minorities. Blatant RACISM!

Also, from comments a few months ago regarding residents of San Y’Sidro, the picture becomes more complete.

It only believes that persons of its own class, finance, and rank deserve a voice or a vote. Well, we don’t and shouldn’t have a caste system here

When you see ***********, think JINGOIST; think RACIST.

Have a great week-end!

the answer is ‘yes’.

the text, bolton states, is ‘biased against israel’. enough said.

the guardian covered the story of the massacre:

At least 19 Palestinians were killed and 40 wounded when five Israeli shells hit a row of houses in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun this morning.

The dead and injured – including nine children, four women and six men – were sleeping when the first shell hit at around 6am local time. Many of the victims were taken to hospital in their pyjamas.

In response to the attack, Hamas called for attacks on the US. “America is offering political, financial and logistic cover for the Zionist occupation crimes, and it is responsible for the Beit Hanoun massacre. Therefore, the people and the nation all over the globe are required to teach the American enemy tough lessons,” the Islamist group said in a statement sent to the Associated Press.

proving once again, that they hate us for our freedom, and our coincidental veto of such resolutions, has nothing to do with it.

and in other news, up has been shown to down; and down is indeed up….

John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, described the text as “unbalanced” and “biased against Israel and politically motivated”.

He added that it did not provide an “even-handed characterisation” of the Israeli shelling of the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun that killed the 19 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The text of the resolution, which was sponsored by Arab states, also condemned the firing of rockets by Palestinian fighters into Israel.

Ten of the council’s 15 members voted in favour and four -Britain, Denmark, Japan and Slovakia – abstained.

AMERICA YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL

Why do you still spit in the face of all our veterans?

In case you have not heard, the US military just stuck a few of its own daggers in the back of Field Marshall von Rumsfeld.

Btw…

In direct response to the horrific attacks of 9/11, the Bush admin with your support inadvertently fathered a burgeoning Shiite fundamentalist democracy in Iraq.

As of right now, several tens of thousands of lives and limbs have been destroyed and lost and $400 billion has been spent.

How many more oceans of blood and treasure must be spent for the pro-Hezbollah, `Death to America’ chanting, fundamentalist Islamic democratic republic in Iraq?

The names you were called are tame compared to what conservatives have dished out these last six years.

“Turd pusher” doesn’t compare with “terrorist-supporters,” and “nazi” doesn’t compare to “America-hating traitors,” so cry me a river.

If you try to push conservative spin here, expect to get called on it. We aren’t trying to push easily debunked spin on whatever wingnut blog you frequent, so toughen up, or get lost.
