Am just amazed that during this election year, Washington is just NOW in a "diplomacy first" frame of mind. Sure wish this same "diplomacy" had worked pre-Iraq! My prediction is North Korea will get very jealous of Israel taking it's headlines away and resume test firing missles near Japan, causing Japan to fire back.
I think a lot of these countries are eager to use their American-made weapons, heck they purchased them, why not get some USE out of them. It should be noted that John Bolton was hand-picked for the UN against major opposition.
You know the first thing I thought when I read about Israels attack on Lebanon?
Hold onto your ass it's World War III.
"Captured", "kidnapped", "taken prisoner", blow me.
This is all so fucking ugly! I'm going back into my shell and yes, I'm holding onto my ass!
Sorry that I do not recall right away where the stuff is but we could likely find the pertinant info again. If my memory serves me correctly, any topographical map of Israel/Palestine shows that the IDF and their settler proxies control or seek to control the underground water supply. If push comes to shove, all Israel needs to do is shut off the water. I reckon that's coming. Then the shit will really fly.

Well, I can tell you that the numbers of war dead count for families destroyed and that the men and women have names. Today they buried Pfc Brian Bradbury, killed in Afganistan last week. He left behind several small children who will never ever get to play ball with their dad (whom I am told was a great guy by the way) He was from St. Joseph Missouri where I live. It is indeed terrible that he had to die, why I cannot for the life of me say. But what makes it worse is that the rights he as they always say died to protect was of a hateful bastard named Reverend Phelps from Topeka Kansas......his crew of horrid human filth came over from bleeding kansas to torment the family of the dead soldier. In the past this so called reverend has had children and church members hold posters proclaiming that 'God hates the USA' and crap like that. From what I understand this moron thinks that because their are homosexuals in the usa that the almighty is going to condone poor soldiers dying. I am sorry, but the only person allowing that to happen is sadly enough our highest elected politician. How many more sons and fathers and brothers are gonna have to pay the bill for politicians lil games? Ok, I will get off the soapbox now....sorry
Petey,
If you could learn to break out of the prim and proper restraints of polite convention, I think you'd be better able to express how YOU REALLY FEEL.
