M2k, ur da blind one here really. If only u were a muslim, a devoted one, then u would probably understand, israel shouldn't be Xistent. It should be Xterminated, at the very first given instance.
Congress has 30 days to either deny the request or it goes through. Israel is simply looking forward 30 days to insure they have supply. They have undoubtedly used quite a bit, but I would imagine they have at least 90 days of war stocks available. very few countries refine jp-8 in a way that is reliable for high performance aircraft.
And this is a classic example of whipping Muslims into place. Any dissenter has his faith questioned. This is how you slap a Muslim back into the politically acceptable lemming line. Most of the country of Lebanon is walking off the cliff into the ocean in a most predicatable lemming-like way.
That is coz if Muslim governments supported Lebanon, we wouldnt have israel be the big bully. All the governments here are not democratic, they are rich, intoxicated, US arse licking idiots, who dont know the difference. If they could speak up for themselves, & for the rights of innocents, we wouldn't have US forces in the gulf, or israel do what it is doing today.
If the war spills into Iron Iran, which Im hoping it would, then I really want to see, what pussy wimp israel can come up wiht. History has taught us many lessons, one of them is...Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog.
No master no slave. Just the members of the country club. You pay dues, you follow rules, you are member. Otherwise you find another club that rings your bell. Again in that club, you pay dues, and you follow rules.
Americans just happen to run the most prosperous and powerful club. That's all.
I know lebanon cant stand up to what israel has currently, but I know for sure, that there is a power even more powerful than what israel has.
Well Adam was Jew before he was a Muslim and Israel was a nation 2000 years before Islam was introduced, so I don't know why you want to go back that far. And the Jews can claim a higher power on their side as they were promised the the land by God.
no, as usual you're wrong ohiogay. A classic example of whipping someone into place can be see when ANY american just as to hints the tentacles that israel has USA into. They are immideately branded as anti-semite. If there is any area which needs dissent and open-debate is that how US has become a slave to israel. Just see what happened to the 2 harvard authors of the article in the orginal post - they face the usual anti-semite charge.
yeah but currently israel is eooonss of years ahead in military capability compared to its neighbors. Not to mention israel has nuclear weapons. If US support is solely based on "underdog" status, then irioncally all the aid should be flowing the arabs rather than israel.
lebanon is not a democracy? i hear their ruler is pro-US. ANyways, so why doesnt US support other democracies that have neighboring "terrorists" as well as it does israel? And that "democracy" of israel can easily kick ass of the "terrorist" around, so why does it still need the gigantic amount of aid?
Israel supports America, so America returns the favor.
Similarly,
UK supports America, so America returns the favor.
Canada supports America, so America returns the favor.
Japan supports America, America returns the favor.
Even when
Pakistan supports America, America returns the favor.
Off course people with Hizbi colored blinders won't see any other examples.
some validity here but not the whole truth.
America supports Israel also because the all the arab countries surrounding israel want to annihilate israel - and America will not tolerate that. see what that ahmadinejad said and see what the hizbozos are doing now....pretty soon Russia and China will be forced to yield to us pressure and that's it
Eric Boehlert notes in the Huffington Post just how irresponsible and biased the CNN reporting is on the ongoing Israel-Lebanon War.
Today, anyone with a internet connection can get a near real time report from world press sources on what is going on, and can read about the large number of civilian casualties occurring in Lebanon.
But rather than reporting the facts, including casualties on both sides, CNN has instead been reporting only casualties occurring in Israel.
I stopped watching CNN long ago, as I no longer consider them to be a valid news source. But its still sad to see how a once proud news organization has prostituted itself to support an ideological viewpoint, rather than reporting the news.
