"Israel used cluster grenades on civilians"

Check out this piece of objectivity and see if anyone has concern for ball-bearing filled rockets going the other way?

It is Al Jazeera but Americans doing the complaining.

No time like the present.

I'm bummed. Haven't posted for a long time.

9/11

Suicide bombers - no effective defense/offense. IED's - no effective defense/offense.

Hezbollah/Hamas/Iran declare war on Israel (not new news there). No declaration of war in response. No apparent effective defense/offense (this time so far).

WMD in the hands of I wanna 72 virgins deranged non-human idiots.

Religion of Peace?

The only way out of this Islamofacism threat reminds me of a Star Trek convention "joke" I heard recently.

I'm just amazed that the legal eagles have taken so long to get ramped up.

Failure to heed, in a timely manner, the plaintive wail of an ambulance siren is universally considered a serious violation of various Canons and Ethical Considerations, so the Beirut Bar Association's finest have stepped bravely into the breach, too:

And from the NY Times:

A fatawa against terrorism and extremism was found in his car? Carrying one of those is probably required by "very suspcious characters". Kind of like a get out of jail free card. After all, doeesn't their religion require them to lie to the infidels?
Wonder what was the date that passport was stamped Lebanon?

How do you find these things - you are goooood! :o)

[daybreakcoming]

all the treaties and international humanitarian laws that stipulate that it is only legal and ethical to attack valid military targets by distinguishing them and attacking them separately

Well by this then, it is time to officially make null and void those treaties and laws since the enemy is too cowardly these days to distinguish themselves with uniform or insignia. But of course, who can see them hiding behind the civilian skirts...

Thanks for this - seems we are not the only ones with too many lawyers. I did also see the word "billions" as in dollars.

Strange looking pair aren't they? OK this has got to stop somewhere. This is a frivolous way of tying up the courts. I can imagine thousands of such cases being carried forward. Oh just egads.
