4. Investigate, investigate, investigate
no one is allowed to investigate the situation unless Israell does the investigation.

No journalists are allowed in to cover these atrocities because Israell is banning them dispite their Supreme Courts order to allow the journalists in.

9. Yep.
Will we ever see that here?

Remember the talk about mobilizing the National Guard to control unrest that might be generated by the election results? One wonders what is the "official" opinion of american citizens, that they cannot be trusted to behave decently when faced with the truth? Obviously we are being propogandized, but what else comes into play when it's decided what information is disseminated and how?

13. He wants to work with the RC. He doesn't say he's GOING to work with the RC.
Its like the story of Harry Nillson when he signed one of his last contracts with RCA. They said "and of course you'll make a tour to support this??" He said "That's something I've been thinking about." After he signed he said "I thought about it and touring is a bad idea. So I don't wanna do it. Thanks for the money!!" :smoke:

23. Difficult military situation...
...would have loved to have heard the interviewer respond to the 'spokesman's' continued comment about a 'difficult military situation' with 'A difficult military situation? It's akin to shooting fucking fish in a barrel, or as the Norwegian doctor says, 'bombing people in a cage. Is that what you call a difficult situation?'

25. Until Israel is
forced from the region there will never peace. The US has no business vetoing NATO sanctions against Israel much less suppling them with arms.

What was the Iraq war REALLY about? Fucking Israel. Saddam was the closest enemy they had. The biggest mistake in modern history was giving that land to the Israelis. Why couldn't they have been repatriated back to where they came from? Why was that the Israelis had the privilege of getting stolen land?

Put them all on a boat and send them to Oklahoma. Israel MUST be disarmed. Or at least make it fair, give them old junk Soviet rockets and a pile of rocks to fight with. As long as Israel OCCUPIES the region there'll never be peace. Why do you suppose that is? They want it all, they want everyone else out. That Old Testament shit is just that, SHIT!

26. This should be used as a
tutorial to American Journalist (if there is any) in how to
pursue the truth, but alas, majority of them here in America
are more concerned about the almighty ($_$) thats all they see.

Middle finger to the truth.
