The truth is that Israel had been planning to attack Lebanon for more than a year, and its attack had nothing to do with two kidnapped soldiers. The truth is that Bush approved of Israel's attack and has been deliberately holding up a cease-fire call to give the Israelis a chance to destroy Hezbollah. The truth is that Bush doesn't give a tinker's damn about the deaths of innocent Lebanese people, the destruction of the country's infrastructure and the displacement of a million people.

Israel has a right to defend itself but no right to commit mass murder and the destruction of a whole country. If Israel wanted its soldiers back, all it had to do was start negotiations for a prisoner exchange. That's why Hezbollah kidnapped them in the first place. Israel has exchanged prisoners in the past, so don't believe the nonsense about not negotiating with terrorists. Furthermore, Israel itself kidnaps people all the time. Most of the elected representatives of the Palestinians have been snatched and stuck in Israeli prisons.

Two of our soldiers were kidnapped (and later murdered) in Iraq, but we didn't decide to bomb Baghdad, Basra, Mosul and Kirkuk to get them back.

Lebanon is the Trigger for Neocons Planned War With Iran

MACON,GA.- For over a year now I have been reporting on activities that appear to be leading the United States into direct confrontation with Iran. Aside from Sy Hersh and a few others, the majority of the U.S. media largely has ignored this march toward war, mainly because it helped disseminate the pre-war propaganda prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. But failing to connect the dots on Iran is just as bad, if not worse, because Iran is by no means Iraq. A war with Persia will be a catastrophe of unimaginable consequences and the trigger for that action may have already begun.

Several months back, I reported that concern was rapidly rising that the United States was setting the table for its Iran engagement:

More blind, party-line, anti-semitic propaganda.


Nothing more to see here folks. Just keep moving along.

Of course they were planning the "response". The ones who attacked was hezbully. They'd be fools if they had no response ready. Tell us something new.

Most Democrats don't believe in this stuff, so I don't think it's party line, unless Intangible Child is a member of the Crazy Nutbag Party.

Synonomous these days if you ask me. The democrat party of Trumen and Kennedy is dead.

As a member of said party, I beg to differ. Also, you spelled "Truman" wrong.

I think Intangible has his own political party - at least in his own little drug-fogged world.

This Truman, the one who saved the Jews from German concentration camps but didn't know we would have to keep saving their ass forever?

The Jews, I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as D[isplaced] P[ersons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog. ~ Harry S. Truman July 21, 1947 (Diary)

The misspelling was a political statement.

Hey, nobody is perfect. At least he had the guts to drop the big one a few times. You don't.
