So you think their intent is something other than the obvious "interpretation?"

At some point we're going to be scrambling to bring enough man power or weapons to bear on either or both of them.

If Carter would have had any balls we could have fixed them when they invaded American soil back when.

Enough tongue and cheek, you all do realize that until we actually have a few well established democracies in the Middle East we have to be ready for...........anything. It's obvious somebody over there wants war, and I sincerely doubt it's the Hebes.

I'd really like to have a time machine, Abraham really could have fixed all of this.......Couldn't he?

Cute.

Perhaps if you stopped the war-mongering you might start getting your point made.

Agreed.  I suspect that the UN would quietly pat Israel on the back for doing that.

Status: offline 		The hijacking of the truth: Film evidence ‘destroyed’

Protesters say Israel had an assassination list. Israel says soldiers fired only in self-defence. So what really happened on 31 May? Jamal Elshayyal, a journalist with al-Jazeera, woke with a start to the opening salvos of an Israeli assault that would transform the decks of the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish vessel bound for Gaza, into a bloodbath.  From the ship’s position deep in international waters, satellite images of Israeli speedboats and helicopters approaching the vessel were beamed across the globe before communications were abruptly cut off, leaving the events on the Marmara to unfold away from the eyes of the world. Six days after the bloody assault that left nine foreign protesters, mainly Turks, dead, nobody can recount with any conviction precisely what happened that night. The convoy of ships, whose passengers included writers, politicians and journalists, had been expected for weeks, with organisers loudly broadcasting their plans to run Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and draw international attention to the situation there. From the beginning, it was clear that Israeli forces were concentrating in their largest numbers on the Marmara, a ship carrying some 550 peace activists. The remaining five boats were much smaller and easily commandeered. After the Marmara was subdued, the passengers silenced, and their recording equipment confiscated, Israel disseminated a carefully choreographed account of the events that night that would dominate the airwaves for the first 48 hours.  Full article here

Do you mean that an illegal invation and near distruction of Iraq didn`t "really turn up the temperature and tension in the region."?!

I`m sure your Mcgramps could handled it better.<cutting sarcasm>
