Well, Agence France Presse would be scared s--tless to stop kissing Muslim Butt.

He just added around 100,000 more supposed Palestinians refuges. That's some revisionist history!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM FRENCH DHIMMI?

The MSM's romanticized death wish continues, unabated.

I'm never going to be shocked at Israeli bashing media bias again.

Israel consolidated it sindependence with a war- how about the Arab countries attacked tiny Israel promising the jordanians(who call themselves Palis) that they coould come back and take the new state of Israel.

It's only 700,000? Odd. I thought it was 7 gazillion palestinians who were exiled.

Getting out of Iraq will enable us to play a constructive role in a renewed Middle East peace process that would mean security and normal relations for Israel and the Palestinians. The fundamental elements of a final agreement have been clear since 2000: a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank in return for a declaration that the conflict is over, recognition of Israel's right to exist, guarantees of Israeli security, diplomatic recognition of Israel, and normalization of its relations with Arab states. U.S. diplomacy is critical in helping to resolve this conflict. In addition to facilitating negotiations, we must engage in regional diplomacy to gain Arab support for a Palestinian leadership that is committed to peace and willing to engage in a dialogue with the Israelis. Whether or not the United States makes progress in helping to broker a final agreement, consistent U.S. involvement can lower the level of violence and restore our credibility in the region

DEFEAT IS HILLARY/OBAMA

Osama and all the others act so concerned about the plight of the Palestinians, yet the Mullahs in Iran have been on a decades long rampage to ethnically cleanse and enslave the Awahzi Arabs living in Western Iran along the border with Iraq. As for all the Pali refugees living in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon... why are they all still living in refugee camps as 2nd class citizens?

So its not about concern for the Palis, or for that matter any other Arab tribe besides the one they belong to. Thats all just a convenient excuse to kill Jews.

The Arabs will agree to that when Hell freezes over. Or the Messiah comes, and the rocks and trees taunt the Muslims that there are Jews behind them waiting to kill them.
[Rest of comment pre-deleted]

I certainly hope Osama is dead, as some here believe. However, if he is dead, will we ever know for sure? I somehow doubt it.

I guess we'll just chase ghosts and listen to "Osama" make crazy speeches.

I'm working on a cable-and-pulley mechanism for lifting jaws that have dropped. It's not ready yet, but I think the need will still be there when it is. Maybe not.

Just a matter of writing style: "Israel proclaimed its independence on May 14, 1948"

AFP: "which it consolidated in a brief war with its neighbours that led to the expulsion or flight of some 700,000 Palestinians."

Other: "which resulted in neighboring Muslim countries launching a genocidal war based upon an oath to God to kill or eject every Jew from the "Holy Land."

I meant to say much earlier...if the oil rich Arab nations really supported Palestinians, they would have helped contribute and given money to hold the Palestinian government and people...

Instead it is the Western nations giving money to PLO...

Do you see something wrong with this?

"May 15, 2008: The U.S. Army in Afghanistan has removed the prohibition on sex between male and female soldiers. Since the 1990s, the army has been big on clean living (or whatever you want to call it) in combat zones. No booze, no sex and not cavorting (you know what that means) with the locals. But with about fifteen percent of the troops in combat zones being female, and most of them young and single, things happened. Some couples got caught. Commanders got tired of having to punish (usually with an Article 15, which is just short of a court martial) troops for "unauthorized fornication." So now it is, if not authorized, not likely to get you punished. Y'all have a nice time now."

WHOOPEE!

Should the AFP article really surprise anyone? The real darkness has been "the very center of Western civilization." Those in the Middle East are just learning these dark arts:

Nothing can disguise the fact that six million Jews died, not in the Middle East, but in ovens which burned in the very heart of Europe. In countries that prided themselves in culture; that listened to Mozart; read books and vaunted their universities. When Golda Meir said with relief, on the occasion of the foundation of Israel that "For two thousand years we have waited for our deliverance. Now that it is here it is so great and wonderful that it surpasses human words" she was speaking of escape from a darkness within the very center of Western civilization.

Wretchard / The Belmont Club (one of my favorite blogs)

Those warmongering Jews:

In the midst of wanton aggression, we yet call upon the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to return to the ways of peace and play their part in the development of the State, with full and equal citizenship and due representation in its bodies and institutions -- provisional or permanent.

We offer peace and unity to all the neighboring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all.

Precisely why I feel the same way. I've served in units with significant numbers of females in peacetime, and it was like living in a soap opera. I was really glad that my only combat tour to date was in an all-male unit.

Someone kept it and continued to get his or her largess from the UN. Fictitious births began to happen, forgeries, etc. as a thriving business in fabricating “Palistinians” developed.

The military is still working its way through the mixed gender minefield in a world of political correctness. It will be another 20 years before they find the policies that work well. The issues the navy has is the high pregnancy rate of females stationed on ships. Another issue is physical strength, it takes four females to carry a stretcher where two males can do the same job. These are just a few of the facts of life in mixed gender military. Another issue is that males are hardwired for "women and children first" and take extra casualties protecting their female "comrades in arms". (can't call them brothers can we....) The important thing is that they take the same oath to constitution as the men and for the same reason, they love and serve our country.

I know a guy where I work ... 26 years old ... who supports Obama. Nothing I tell him about Obama shakes his support. Nothing I tell him about Iraq can persuade him that the war was caused by anything but Dick Cheney and his buddies at the oil companies, or that it is anything but a complete disaster and we need to get out immediately. He buys into every liberal canard there is.

I like a lot of the same things this guy does. We have the same ironic, twisted sense of humor. But since I found out about his liberalism and his support for Obama, despite Obama's longtime association with racists and America-haters and terrorists, I find myself thinking: He's on the wrong side. Through his support for Obama, he is supporting evil. When the chips are down, I can't depend on him to have my back. He is my enemy.

I don't like feeling this way, but there it is. Must be similar to what a lot of Americans were feeling in 1860, as friends and even brothers prepared to fight each other.

Importantly, this study finds that the deterrent effect of capital punishment protects African-American victims even more than whites.

Redneck crackers have been right all along!

it will be interesting to see secular-leftist opponents of the death penalty squirm their way out of this one. They pride themselves on being data-driven members of the “reality based” community. For decades they have used studies with dubious methodology to bully people who disagreed with them. Now they will have to explain why a wide range of studies all refute their ideas. Most death-penalty opponents won’t change their minds but the subsequent mental gymnastics they preform will be of Olympic quality.

I was born on my birthday!

Hah! Mine's in dispute. Growing up my birthday was the 22nd. But when I went into the AF I looked at my birth certificate. It said the 23rd.

What we figured out was I was born on a Sunday, in a really small hospital. The clerk cam in the next day and filled out the paper work.

My mother insists she is right. She says, "I should know, I was there!"

I sincerely apologize. I will pay better attention in future.

Israel proclaimed its independence on May 14, 1948, which it consolidated in a brief war with its neighbours that led to the expulsion or flight of some 700,000 Palestinians.

-- AFP.

AFP is misleading its audience concerning who started this war.They are suggesting that Israel started this war in order to consolidate its independence. Actually, Israel accepted the UN partition plan, while the leaders of the Arab Palestinians rejected it, and the Arab states rejected it.

After the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine expired, at Britain's initiative, Palestine's status became in limbo -- it had no status. Israel declared its independence. Five Arab armies immediately invaded the new state.

This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which wilol be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.

-- Arab League Sec. Gen. Azzam Pasha, May 15, 1948, the day five Arab armies invaded the new state of Israel.

For AFP to suggest that this war was started by Israel to consolidate its independence is a lie, a libel, a canard. Israel was invaded by 5 Arab armies, and it had to defend itself in order to prevent the announced genocide that was proclaimed as the intention of the Arab League.

Seriously, most of them have too much to prove, that they "belong" with the men. I'm sorry, this may shock some of you, but men and women are different.
Women should not be in any combat units, and a CVN/DD/DDG, etc. is a combat unit, during peace or wartime.

After an accelerated two week truck driving school I went to work for Swift Transportation Co. Every other trucking company will send their drivers to school for at least a month and many veteran drivers think that’s too short, but the industry was desperate for drivers. Now I’m not going to bad mouth Swift, every other driver on the road will do that. I’ll just say they did one thing right, after a year they fired me. I remember the Three Sisters Truck Stop being good for two or three gunshots a night. Where you at?

Seriously, women are are excellent in many fields. I just don't think they belong in combat conditions if they can't measure up to the same standards as men.

i agree. but if they do measure up, and some women do, they shouldn't be held back in the military.
btw, i heard some complaint on the radio by a women's group that they aren't well represented in the fire depts. across the country. well, most can't pass the strength test. and that is a crucial part of the job. so sometimes gender has to be irrelevant.

re: #10 yochanan

Getting out of Iraq will enable us to play a constructive role in a renewed Middle East peace process that would mean security and normal relations for Israel and the Palestinians. The fundamental elements of a final agreement have been clear since 2000: a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank in return for a declaration that the conflict is over, recognition of Israel's right to exist, guarantees of Israeli security, diplomatic recognition of Israel, and normalization of its relations with Arab states. U.S. diplomacy is critical in helping to resolve this conflict. In addition to facilitating negotiations, we must engage in regional diplomacy to gain Arab support for a Palestinian leadership that is committed to peace and willing to engage in a dialogue with the Israelis. Whether or not the United States makes progress in helping to broker a final agreement, consistent U.S. involvement can lower the level of violence and restore our credibility in the region

DEFEAT IS HILLARY/OBAMA

Would you mind fleshing some of that out:

Getting out of Iraq under what circumstances?

Getting a declaration of Israel's right to exist from the young loonies who make up the various terrorist organizations exactly how? (Never mind the governments; what about the young men who cannot be controlled?)

US involvement lowers violence exactly how?

I can't even begin to fathom the optimism from whence this springs.

The military is still working its way through the mixed gender minefield in a world of political correctness. It will be another 20 years before they find the policies that work well. The issues the navy has is the high pregnancy rate of females stationed on ships. Another issue is physical strength, it takes four females to carry a stretcher where two males can do the same job. These are just a few of the facts of life in mixed gender military. Another issue is that males are hardwired for "women and children first" and take extra casualties protecting their female "comrades in arms". (can't call them brothers can we....) The important thing is that they take the same oath to constitution as the men and for the same reason, they love and serve our country.

This is not an advertisement, since it won't be out for a couple of years. But I intend to address this in detail in a book so far entitled, "The Amazon's Right Breast." (Publisher _hates_ that title.)

Women are invaluable in support staff positions. I don't want to see them in combat.

re: #250 really grumpy big dog johnson

That's one of the sickest pictures I've ever seen. The MSM wants to portray the entire world in apocalypic chaos, it's part of the master plan to topple the party of the bushitler.

If he burns in hell, maybe his memory will remind him of why.

Oh there are more. Check the Reuters search page for Jason Lee. Dude is having a field day. I can't link directly but there is another one in there of a dead child's face, buried under rubble. Just sick..

Oh but Reuters will sell you the photo!

re: #240 Intrepid

I'm kidding about the vacuuming, sewing and ironing . I'm NOT kidding when I say they do not belong in combat.

Found the link...(it's from [Link: www.sodot.tv...] )
Psalm 147, a prayer for Jerusalem...

Sephardi...(must turn up sound)!

Hey, if that's where we're needed...

Seriously, women are are excellent in many fields. I just don't think they belong in combat conditions if they can't measure up to the same standards as men.

Even if they can, it won't stop the problem of romance undermining unit cohesion and the chain of command. One lesbian (bisexual women need not apply) per rifle company? Maybe then.

Agreed whole-heartedly.

re: #237 mama winger

Let me ask my friend. I'm on her schedule. I'll let you know, okay? It would be fun.

It would be a pleasure to meet you mama winger, we are on the same wavelengths.

re: #212 lawhawk

I lay blame for that photo at the feet of the editorial staff at Reuters. That was someone's child and/or sibling. Gone. And the photographer thought that it was interesting to juxtapose the butterfly with the lifeless form.

Nice.

Stay classy Reuters.

Two poor children, not one.

re: #261 Bob in Breckenridge

That I agree with as well. The "women and children first" instinct in me makes me feel that way.
